What do you think of these quotes:

"If there were no God, there would be no Atheists."
(G. K. Chesterton / 1874-1936 / Where All Roads Lead, 1922)

"The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank."
(Dante Gabriel Rossetti / 1828-1882)

According to the Christian faith Yahweh, or Jesus, is a personal god. In other words, people who accept the word of Christ and allow him into their hearts can have a one-on-one relationship with god. They can communicate directly with Jesus.

If god is omniscient and Christians can chat with him then why don’t they just ask god their questions?

Why do Christians even need to use Yahoo Answers?

of the mentality of that time?
Like I think there's a biiig generational gap between the baby boomers and people born in the 70's...
And I don't really understand what people back then had to deal with.
Will old movies help me understand?

With bad acting I think you can see through people more.....

See no problem with teasing others, and making obsurd comments to theists. I certainly wouldn't like it if someone put a negative character discription on me. I certainly would have a problem if people assumed that I enjoyed being nasty to others.

Do atheists do this, because they feel that they have some humanitarian right or duty to do so? What and/or whom gives them the authority to educate me or any other theists? What makes the atheist point of view the end all to be all?

They seem so desperate for every word of it to make sense, even the Old Testament histories of long-lost kingdoms. Who cares? Christ never said, "The only way into Heaven is memorize every word of the Bible--there will be a test!" He said to treat everyone as you would like to be treated, and that was pretty much it. Where did the Bible-centrism come from?

No, I'm not a Scrooge, but I so long for a simpler, happier Christmastime. A place where not every t.v., radio station, store clerk & billboard doesn't scream 'Buy me, Buy me, Buy me!' I am so sick of the greediness, too. Now we should buy Visa Gift cards, so people can get what they REALLY want? Why don't we just give evryone a $50 bill and be done with it then? The t.v. makes even the sweetest kid seem like a selfish little brat when all you here is " and I want............for Christmas" The commercials bombard the kids and teens with 100s of things they 'need'. And since when is it okay to ask for a $200-400 gift? (video systems and the like). I thought gift-giving was in remeberance of the gifts given to the Newborn Babe? Aren't gifts supposed to be given by the giver to show love & appreciation? Not demanded by the receiver? Why do so many houses have giant Santas in front w/a million lights, but no stable? Is there a place where Christmas is still simple & revered? :(

Pantomimes, with their politically incorrect heroes and villains and their bulky dames with deep voices, should be brought up to date.
Some of the titles, like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Robinson Crusoe with an image of cannibals, are becoming more difficult to stage in this age of political correctness.
Throwing bonbons and boiled sweets into the audience has been a tradition of the festive pantomime for many decades.
But bureaucrats are set to stamp out the tradition because they claim boiled sweets could injure a member of the audience.
At the same time, the custom of having a female star playing the Principal Boy, which goes back to the 19th century, is on the verge of extinction because of fears that modern audiences may interpret her relationship with the female lead as a lesbian one.

The way I see it, being agnostic is the truly 'logical' thing to do.

Do you guys just go along with anything Richard Dawkins says? or do you hope that if you repeat the line enough it will become the truth.

If not for GOD?
Why, for instance, did an unstoppable armada of Syrian tanks bound for Tel Aviv in the heat of battle stop when the Israeli army faced almost certain defeat, suddenly turn around and flee the battlefield?

When an Israeli tank commander found himself and his men in the middle of a mine field, why did a mysterious wind storm suddenly descend on them with so much power that it blew away nearly a foot of topsoil and then just as suddenly stopped, revealing the hiding places of thousands of mines so the soldiers could escape unharmed?

Why, during the war for independence, hundreds of Jordanian soldiers approaching the position of a platoon of Israeli soldiers defending Mt. Zion without ammunition, suddenly shout "Abraham" and turn and flee?

Tomorrow I'm going to a funeral for an atheist. My parents- being my parents- hired a Christian CONSULTANT to help set up the funeral... who obviously set it up to be a traditional Christian funeral.

The lady giving the sermon is a very enthusiastic and very forceful preacher who left a bad taste in my mouth from the last funeral I attended (she spent 1 hour talking about how we all need JESUS to be saved- a notion that would have caused the deceased to become VERY angry). I feel her behavior is inappropriate for this funeral- but because I didn't set the thing up, I have no choice in the matter- She's doing it.

Would it be incredibly rude of me, as a pallbearer, to leave during the Church service? I feel giving him a Christian funeral is incredibly disrespectful, and the person whose funeral I am attending was VERY close with me... in my opinion, preaching Jesus at his funeral is doing him a great disservice in this case.

In the religion & spirituality section there are so many questions that just bash on other religions and beliefs for fun. If you go through there and just read the questions and answers, a lot of you sound like elementary kids. I have seen maybe three serious questions here. I understand that if you believe in "god", that's what works for you, but why are you required to change anyone who doesn't believe? Same with people who do not believe. I agree with you, but you don't want them trying to change you, so why are you trying to change them? Just wondering, and mainly venting.
