I've looked and looked, I've asked people, and I still can't find it. I hear all the time that christianity is aginit, but I don't see it in the bible. Now, if you have to take everything in the bible LITERALLY, then I REALLY can't find it. So give me that one -- the literal one, and I'll even accept the interpretive ones. I simply can't find them.

I'm a teenager in Brown County, Indiana. I want to help other teens in my area, but I don't know what I can get involved with. Can any BC people help me figure out what to do?

Of the words in the Bible which are supposed to have been said by Jesus, are there things which you find troubling?

The last time that I can remember actually being inside a church for something other than a wedding is when I was 14 years old. The youth pastor was lecturing us on why being homosexual is wrong. I started arguing with him about it and it became this big dramatic event where everyone basically acted like I was some kind of alien for questioning the guy. That was the first time I felt truly disgusted with Christianity.

what does he do with it? Does he go and pray for you?

How does he know what to pray for you unless he keeps a record of your wrongs to present before God?

What if he "forgets" to intercede on behalf of you?

To make it even harder, it's a toss up; the pastor is liberal.

As stated by theists throughout history, that God and Satan do not get along. So God rules heaven and the Devil rules Hell. What would the motivation be for Satan to therefore do any of God's bidding, when all of us atheists and evil non-believers are thrown into Hell to be punished? I would hedge my bet that the Devil would do nothing that God wanted him to, so the punishment would never happen, etc.

I call it Giftmas. To me it's just a reason to come together as a family and give each other stuff.

What do you see it as?

I'm atheist, but let's assume the Christians are right for a minute. In pretty much all societies, in the prison system there is a certain amont of jail time depending on the crime. Someone who stole a piece of gum is not gonna get the same sentence as a murderer. So why does god sentence people to hell forever. Shouldn't there be like time lines. Forever is pretty harsh. Why should someone who commited crimes all their life spend the same amount of time in hell as someone who was a good person all their life but didn't believe in jesus???

Why do theists justify life with creation because of the small probability of the conditions necessary to life? How can you say that just because our planet is in the perfect conditions, that this must all have been created? This is hard to explain in text, but I'll try my best.... People who argue creation seem to be thinking deductively. Think of it inductively....Yes, the probabilty is small, but that's exactly why we haven't found life elsewhere. Perhaps that's exactly why we are the only living things we've found - because our habitat is just that, a small probability. It's like having a bag of many marbles. If one were to pull out an unfavorable marble, one couldn't claim that it was pre-planned. No matter how small the probability of pulling that one marble, all the outcomes have the same probability, right? No matter how small the chance of life happening, all the possible conditions for a hunk of rock floating in space are the same.

Saturday evening, me, my inlaws and my husband were on our way home after dinner. My mother inlaw was driving and all of the sudden the car began to spin out of control. It turned around and around -- at least 5 or 6 times, leaned to the left and then plopped back down. It stopped on the grass next to the median and that's when we realized the tire had blown.

Anyway, my inlaws don't have roadside assistance and our roadside assistance will only cover our vehicles. I called one of my close cousins because I knew she had a roadside assistance. I explained the situation and told her my inlaw's vehicle was stranded on the highway. She did seem hesitant to say whether or not she'd let us use the services, but she said she'd check on it and call me back.

In the meantime I was trying to find other alternatives. Almost two and a half hours had passed, and she still hadn't called me back. I called her and she didn't answer. 30 mins. later she called back non-chalantly.

This past Saturday, my dad visited and brought over a truckload of boxes of things that were mine when I was little. In one of the boxes I found a diary that I had written at 12 years old. While reading the diary, I found an exerpt that read:

"...I do not believe in God, but I go to church because my mom makes me. That makes me a hypocrite..."

I was very surprised when I read this. I was attending Catholic school at the time that I wrote that diary (at age 12). I never realized that I knew at such a young age what my beliefs were. I might not have known to the extent that I do now, but it's interesting to get this glimpse of my beliefs about religion and spirituality from such a young age.

A British Teacher in Sudan has been arrested and threatened with jail for blasphemy. Her crime was to allow the 6 & 7 year olf children in her class to name a class teddy bear Muhammed.
The Ministry of Education have said she may face forty lashes and/or imprisonment.
Do you think this is the correct approach?
