Ok you dont believe in God and you have more than made that clear. We can agree to disagree....for now. But please share - Do you believe in anything? If so, What is it that you do believe in? What gives you hope? Peace? Love? Joy?

What keeps you motivated in life? I just couldn't imagine living a life without God's guidance. Who do you depend on when you cant find your way? other humans? We cant even love ourselves right; let alone others....just curious.

what im about to say is 100% true,and politically inncorrect.Here you go,do you wanna know why there so many illegal immagrants in the us,because they can make more money here,why can they make more money here,because of white people,do u know why u can get a good education,a job with benefits here,because of white people,do u know why this is the richest most powerfull country in the world,bacause of white people,white people give outher races the best chance to succeed in every category of life.I challenge any 1,but mostly black people,to come up with 1 country where u have more chances,u cant.Of course black people will say whites keep them down in this country,funny in Africa where they are all 3rd world countries,there are no white people to blame.White people have so much wealth,power,and connections not only do they own the usa but the world.And if another race was capable of doing that they would be in charge wouldnt they.

but I have to ask again.

I've seen many atheists rail against Christians (and, I presume, other theists) for intolerance. You're right to do so. Tolerance does not mean accepting someone else's beliefs, but it does mean accepting someone else's right to believe as they do. Given that, then, how do you justify all of the hate-filled, mocking, spiteful questions that are posted here by atheists?

Before you go on counterattack - yes, there are questions posed by "Christians" and other theists that are just as hate-filled. I'm specifically looking for atheist perspectives here.

And let me shut one other door: claiming it's a joke doesn't make it any less hate-filled. Trust me - I know that from personal experience, given my own prediliction to sarcasm.

Personally I consider that violence cloaked in a masquerade of love. Do you think Buddhists, Hindus, or Eskimos appreciate such threats? I find such things exceedingly inappropriate and almost vindictive to non-Christian culture and tradition.

It's like saying "I'm right and you're wrong, so you DIE!!!"

This is a FUN question, not to be taken seriously.
This is based on Christianity and Jesus

The world's current population 6,633,911,272 with current % of Christians in the world approx 30% or 2 billion.

Let's approximate that man has been on this planet for 100,000 years.

Let’s say per year, 200 million people go to the Christian heaven a year (10%) and have done so the past 1900 years. These are ESTIMATES!

1900 years * 200 million dead Christians = There is a TOTAL of 380 billion in Heaven.

Keeping the percentage’s constant, if 30% of the world’s population is in heaven, then 70% of the world’s population is in hell.

There are currently 4,643,737,890 NON-Christians. If 10% of these people are dying a year then:

100,000 years * 464,373,789 million dead NON-Christians = 46,437,378,900,000 in hell.

In conclusion
46,437,378,900,000 or 46.4 trillion people in hell.
380,000,000,000 billion people in Heaven

Silly huh?

I am a junior in high school and I am involved in an organization called Life Teen. Life Teen does Catholic Masses with music and sermons that are oriented toward teens and high school kids. We're trying to get more people involved, but we think a lot of people probably consider it "uncool". Answerers don't have to be Catholic; answers just have to be serious!

The WSIDR- he was funny and surfaces every now and then- but we need him around to lighten the mood.

Oh and then there is the Dumb Question of the Day Judge, I think I made him mad when I got engaged because I had to stop flirting with him.

The secular one or the religious one? I'm a little tired of the confusion.

Perhaps both of them would work best: Yule for the secular family-food-gifts-warmth in midwinter celebration, Christ Day or something for the religious celebration. (Incidentally, why do Protestants want anything to do with a Mass?)

Better yet, let's move the secular one to the 22nd and just nuke an entire work week. Holidays three days apart guarantees some oddball time off setup.

Than things going on in the word that could potentially affect our lives or the lives of others?

Do you think that is a warning sign that our society is slowly deteriorating and that in the future the Societies of "Free" countries will be dictated by a small handful of wealthy. I.e. Similar to that England and France in the 1700s thru late 1800s?

how do you explain the well laid out lineage of jesus' bloodline from king david down to jesus from both parents, yet nobody knows what year, let alone what day jesus was born? if there were records maintained as well as christians claim wouldn't there be some date associated with the birth of jesus as well. certainly any system dedicated to accurately keeping track of family lineage would make sure to list the date and location of each ancestor's birth. yet in the bible, all we have is more or less just a list of names. what seems even more out of place is the ability in the old testament to keep track of the lineage of adam and eve's decendants and their ages, considering this occurred 3000-4000 years before the birth of jesus. what gives?

Seems to me the majority are on here asking for people to do it for them. Whatever happened to parents helping their kids with homework? Just goes to show the devaluation of family in our society.

This is the verse about a woman having an inner, quiet, meek spirit. My question to you is what if a person like myself is outgoing and exuberant and likes to talk, how can I apply this verse to my life if my nature is not a quiet one and one more question if I may what does it truly mean to have an inner quiet and meek spirit?

Who would like me to sneak them into a Gay male sauna. You (Might) need to disguise yourself a bit but it really is one of the main things I'd like to do in this lifetime.

I mean wouldn't you like to be naked among 100 naked men in a steam room yet be completely safe?

Ok, I know there are two words for corner in Spanish: one is esquina which is a corner on a street, and the other is an indoor corner; like the corner of a room. However, I have only heard the second word spoken, I've never seen it written, It sounds like "rincon" but I can't find that word on the internet or in my book. How is this word spelled?
