i am putting up my question for the third time - as in the previous two all you get is emotional attack from yahoo atheist users - please do not be offented if you cannot answer the question!

the question is can you all please come up with a new though based on NO previous information!
if you can please enlighten me with one.......and if you cannot please ask yourself 'if i cannot come up with a new thought, how did the first monkey, ape or human'?

all of you atheists keep saying trial and error....but this is bogus because you can use ur trial and error now and come up with a new thought can't u? no did'nt think so.

this is not a personal attack on anyone just wanted to find some answers from atheists!

after watching a few of his services, and reading up a little about him, I'm convinced he's more of a counseling people advocate than a 'preacher'.... his message is upbeat, and psychologically great for people to hear, since it's more about you getting yourself what you need than 'god' handing it to you for good works.... he's really got it down to a science, that of telling folks what makes them feel good about themselves.... even going so far as telling women to shop at Victoria's Secret to help their marriages be happier!....
he's different..... is he the next BillyG?

I'm not a believer, but I do like the way his messages uplift PEOPLE.....

If a creationist can tell us all that evolution is a lie because it's just a theory I figure that thinking must apply to other theories as well. Right?
Over the years different theories have been given for gravity. First it was Aristotle, then Galileo, after that Newton gave us the best explanation for gravity, but these days we like Einstein’s theory the best.
The theory is why gravity happens just like it is why evolution happens. Gravity itself is a fact just like evolution is a fact. Both can be scientifically proven. The apple does fall, living organisms do change from generation to generation.

Does your faith require you to attend a church service on Christmas Day (or service on Christmas Eve)? Why or why not?

People believe in psychic phenomena and a lot of religious/spiritual stuff because they are afraid of dying and if you convince yourself that there are forces beyond the physical realm you feel like you are immortal. To accept reality is to face fear and so religion is weakness. Agree or disagree?

I read an article a discovery in Rome concerning the place where Romulus and Remus was supposedly raised by a she wolf.

I learned that the emperor kept his power base near this place in order to strengthen his rule over his subjects by associating himself with Romulus and Remus.

Moses used it to create the nation of Israel.

Constantine used it to create a new Rome.

Kings and rulers have always used religion to secure their power. Some claimed to have been chosen by God or are gods themselves.

Even today you see religion being used to secure power. Just look at the republican party, they base their strength on conservative/fundamentalist Christianity.

By contrast, Jesus never used the religion of his God to rule. He used it as a catalyst for living a moral life loving others.

So when religion is used to justify rule over people it stops being a means to commune with the spiritual and becomes something totally different.

What do you think?

It's an operation out of NY, NY. I think it was 5th Avenue, but not sure. Children write to Santa and the charity sends the letters on to people who offer to fill the needs of the children. What's the name of it? I've looked all over the web. Thank you!

Nobody is x until everybody is x.

According to your religion or spirituality (or beliefs, for those who are atheist), can you think of a word to substitute for x in both cases? Be creative!

Blessings in the Light of Christ!

I will be seeing a lot of Christians tomorrow, because pretty much every relative I have except maybe my brother is Christian. I now consider myself an atheist and have for about 4 or 5 months now. Should I just practice the fine art of biting my tongue, or tell them how I feel?

We're talking about in the absence of any promiscuous or suspicious behavior here. I had a significant other who demanded this of me and I thought that was too much, particularly since I was the choreographer for a large volunteer performance group and people knew I was always on the hunt for new dancers to feature front row or for the chorus. I was brought up that it is perfectly fine for your date to dance with others as long as they ask you first, or the person who is offering to dance (typically the man) asks you as their date, first. And as long as the first and last dance were saved for the one that brought you, it was O.K. to dance with others (to a limit, mind you, but not to the point they make it obvious they are more interested in everyone else). Well, my significant other thought these were ridiculous rules and she refused to allow me to dance with any other...and I thought that extreme. We eventually broke up over her controlling ways. But what are your rules here?
