Do you think that athiest and believers of God would agree that Jesus was the greatest man in history? By he way, I abhor religion but I do believe in God and spirituality.

All I know is that I've read this somewhere either in this section or somewhere on the internet but it said that in one of the verses in the Bible, that Jesus said to one of those people on Earth, something like this, "Behold, there are many mansions in my Father's house and thou hasth prepared a place for you there."


So, let me get this straight, God knows everything about everybody, he can read thier minds, knows what they're thinking, knows what they like, and he has prepared a place for them in Heaven? Since when did God care about what people want and prepare a place for them? I thought all God wanted was for everyone who dies and goes to heaven to just get down on their knees and serve and worship Him for ever and ever nonstop whether they like it or not?

How many of you have chosen to have dogs, cats or some other critter, instead of children? No religious ties connected to this, Just wondering for myself. I have three sons, One 19, one 17, one 5 and we are in the process of finalizing the adoption of a little girl. As soon as one moves out, my wife gets a replacement.

Then why didn't god make our ability to think, reason, study, learn, discover, invent, up to todays standards, BACK THEN, why did he let us die of diseases before we became smart enough to find a cure, Couldn't he just make us smart back then?? or is he a big fan of Evolution?

If one more christian mentions the phrase "Free Will" I swear....

If its not christians telling you to believe what they believe or the government telling you what to think tv is trying to brainwash you to. Why cant we all just believe what we want to and get along. Some times it feels like everyone is a dictator. how do you feel about this?

Christians have "He died for you, can't you at least believe in him?" and "You only think you're happy, but real joy comes from knowing Jesus."

How could an atheist utilize this tactic?

Our office always has a Christmas potluck every year. The company provides the meat (usually turkey and ham), and the employees are responsible for bringing the sides, desserts and beverages. However, our department always has a Christmas party and it is usually at someone's house. This year we are going to have it at a restaurant, but we have to pay for our own food. Maybe I'm wrong for feeling this way, but I feel the company should pay for the food or drinks (by allowing my supervisor to expense the tab). I almost feel guilty for thinking this way, but what's the point of having a department Christmas party? We always do the office party every year, and besides, I see the people in my department every day.

Do you think I am being selfish or am I missing the point of having a department Christmas party? Just FYI, I am not cheap and I am definitely not the type of person who expects something for nothing. But I'd rather be doing something else if I have to pay for myself.

A shale for instance, formed at the bottom of the sea in a quiet low energy environment would have an easy going spirit,
A sandstone formed by massive river torrents, high energy environments would be a violent spirit?...goes on for all the other rock types. Is there any evidence from the past that people ever recognised this? Would any Pagans be interested in talking about this in greater detail, i mean some rocks are created by the element air, water, earth, fire, this must have an effect on the nature of their spirit....
Do you think im onto something?
I'm a geologist by the way.

Peace

I say I don't believe in a GOD "YET" when I was in the military and we lost one engine (On Fire) and we were 500 miles to the nearest a landing strip (Airport) I prayed like Billy Graham. After we made it I quit praying. Fast forward to 2006. I got sick. (Cancer??) Again I prayed to God. Now I'm ok. I don't pray anymore "BUT" tomorrow if I come close to death I will pray again. I bet "GOD" is getting tired of me.

Watch for part two, it will shock, I'm going to post it as my responce and what I think.

Simple question, should we still follow (as christians is mainly what I mean, atheists can answer for if christians should follow the ten commandments, if you would)
the ten commandments given to Moses.

Tell me Yes or No, and why or why not, if you would be so kind.

Simple question.

This includes, murder and adultery, ect.

Are they still in place for us to follow.

Thank you.

I'm asking this for my research paper in my intro to religion course.

1) What role did she play in Jesus' life in your opinion?
2) What's her story in your opinion? Like what accounts do you believe happend to her after Jesus' death? Just anything you may believe or have been told about her life story and relationship with Jesus will help..

I'm just trying to compare the many believes in regards to this matter.

There is literally an ABUNDANCE af evidence that there IS a "God".
Yet, there is absolutely NO evidence that there is NOT a "God".

when I honestly look at it, I don't have any serious problems, the most serious problem is how i'm going to handle work, school and a somewhat full time hobby I have.

How about you? when you try look at things positively, what should you really worry about?
