I'm asking Atheists because this rule seems logical to me and illogical to my ex-inmate turned Xian little brother who is currently living on my sofa

When they were telling me the story of the watch, and how the hell did that watch come into existence; and they were telling me how abysmal is the logic of athiests, and all that -- suddenly I had it all figured out.

But then I forgot what it was I had figured out. So now I come to Yahoo-Answers, and I know you people can figure it out.

So did God actually create himself?
And suddenly we was existing? And he was looking around, and he exclaimed "What the -- ?"?

Is that how it happened? Praise Jesus !

ourselves ?The veil of the temple was rent in 2, leaving it open for all men to have access to the throne.

I can understand that Allah may be another name for God,just as Jehovah,Emamuel & other names w/different meanings.But having to go to a priests to get to God was done away with.We can go directly to God ourselves,through Jesus,the son of God for salvation.
The book of Acts says:"for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.", Why all the confussion ? Jesus is Jesus & available to all. This is Fact there is no other salvation.

wearing burkas they looked like Darth Vader, my 5 year old son was scared to death of them, what kind of religion makes people cover their whole body up it's rediculous, and what kind of person would do that? I am sure it is very hard for them to find a good job that doesn't require them to take off their garb

Is it rude for my sister not to invite my long term girlfriend to her wedding? I know that it is "her day" in all but I find it extremelly rude. I almost do not want to go to her wedding because her attitude when she told me she was not allowing me to bring my girlfriend. Is it rude for me to decline my sister's invitation and not go to the wedding?

Are you perfect, and do you feel that it's okay to not be perfect all of the time?

How do you feel when a particular religion is criticized for not being perfect?

Are you willing to understand that even leaders of a religion can make mistakes, and it is often difficult to humble yourself to admit you made a mistake?

I was reading a Wikipedia article about a weapon from Irish mythology called Gae Bolg, which is a type of spear or javelin, apparently. The thing is, the article mentions this:

"The Gáe Bulg had to be made ready for use on a stream and cast from the fork of the toes. It entered a man's body with a single wound, like a javelin, then opened into thirty barbs. Only by cutting away the flesh could it be taken from that man's body."

I wasn't sure if by "cast from the fork of the toes" they meant thrown by the foot or not, so I did some more research and apparently it is thrown with the foot.

I find this to be a pretty curious way to use a weapon, and I have only a vague idea of how this would be performed. Has anyone ever heard of something so outlandish? And if so, could you show me a picture or a diagram of a weapon or tool being thrown with the foot?

Did Jesus really speak against all traditions or was His statement about traditions condemning a specific source and kind. Certainly, He was speaking of the traditions of the Pharisees But how does that teaching apply to other traditions such as Sacred Traditions. Let us actually look at the Scriptures that apply to our discussion which are about Sacred Tradition.

St. Paul speaking of oral Tradition: (1Co 11:2 DRB) Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.

This is St. Paul speaking about both oral and written Sacred Traditions. In his teaching notice he makes no distinction between the oral and the written Sacred Traditions. 2Th 2:15 DRB) (2:14) Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.

Here St. Paul is also speaking of both the written and the oral Traditions without distinction as to........

Many people feel the need to attack me and my religion. Why?

And to those of you who are going to personally attack me and my religion in your answers, thanks for proving my point.

Why do people always try to convert me?
You have to understand that I really do appreciate the trying to save my soul and stuff, but lets put it this way. It is absolutely no business of theirs to try to push me into something. If I wanted to be whatever, I would change.
I am a Jew.
I am proud of that.
And no words about eternal damnation are going to change my mind.

I'm serious. I understand that someone is trying to save me, but it gets annoying. My friends have cried over how I'm going to go to Satan, and burn for eternity.

Everytime this happens, I feel so uncomfortable. I mean, here is a friend who is very dear to me, and she's talking about how I'm going to suffer for all of eternity? Is this supposed to make me want to change? If anything, these pleads make me even less likely to convert (not that that would ever happen anyways).

So, my question is, why? Why do people push me into changing?

Thank you for reading

have they ever even been in one? I come from a military family. Dad, father in laws, grandfathers, husband (disabled vet in war time), two brother in laws....I grew up with it and around it. And I can tell you, that foxholes make atheist far more then they make Christians. Why are people so convinced there are no atheist in foxholes? My husband said it only reinforced his atheism.
