Lets face it, its usually way too packed, hard to talk to anyone, and you can go broke on the price of drinks. Just wondering if there are other singles events around that night, maybe something more laid back but still fun.

My sister played the same song over and over, I told her she better stop because they're probably getting tired of singing it over and over. (just a little kid of course).

Got any beliefs you had as a child that we can all laugh at now?

I have a Christian friend who is so busy taking care of other people who he feels obligated to - extended family and such - to where he has no time for himself. Taking them on errands, buying them things. These are people who have done some bad things to him - he will say so himself - but he feels like he needs to do these things as I guess it is a what would Jesus do type situation for him. Now I understand doing this to a fair amount but it has gotten to an extreme and really they are taking advantage of him and using it to control who he sees and what he does that does not involve them. Are there any verses or parables that I could remind him of where perhaps Jesus spoke of taking care of yourself?

Oh I am not Christian but do respect the teachings of Jesus. My friend is very dear to me and I want just to help him as he is trying to help all these other people.

I have heard because of the Immanuel Passage in Matthew and Isaiah it makes scholars questions whether or not Mary was really a virgin? Why?

I have a muslim friend in prison that writes me weekly, and lately he wants to try and convince me that I need to become muslim too because it's "the truth". Every letter since Thanksgiving ends with a plea for me to recite the shahada (and yes he includes it in it's entirety...in both Arabic and English) yet I have never once asked him to embrace Atheism, or consider *my* truth, that there IS no "god" or no prophet of said delusion.

I have been friends with this person since middle school, and have been in touch with him since his incarceration 6 years ago. He discovered Islam while in prison, and before then, he was a staunch Atheist, even more hardcore Atheist than myself. I don't want to split ways over our differences because I know I am one of his lifelines since his family pretty much disowned him...but I don't appreciate being evangelized to either, irregardless of his crimes.

What can I do?

My mom had Christmas plates, serving spoons, serving plates, snack plates, tins even toilet paper with Santas or Christmas trees on it.
Have you ever known anybody that went this far?

If you asked Jesus to reveal himself to you if he were real, and he did , how do you lose in that deal?
Because if he responds and is real , hell and eternity are real too.
Why won't people make the simple challenge ? With so much at stake.

That's because it is a Jewish book, and that's what the Jews call it. Christians don't get to just storm in and rename whatever they want.
For further example, there never were such things as "pagans." There are good people who worshipped the Egyptian religion, the Greek religion, the Celtic religion and the Scandanavian religion. They were not the same thing and are not to be grouped together under some label that a bunch of fanatics assigned to them.

I'm using spirituality in the most secular sense possible, in that there are no spirits involved, just reflection, introspection, and pondering the universe and our place in it.

Having freed ourselves from the religious framework it opens the way for much more profound philosophies. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking about all the improbable things that had to happen to make the world what it is today. And here we are, riding this terrestrial spaceship together, wasting our short time here hating each other and being jealous, instead spreading love and happiness. Why? It's so foolish. Will humanity ever make it to the stars? Will we ever learn to be truly egalitarian? Will we ever get over ourselves and just be?

I know other atheists think about these things, and I think many theists assume we never think about these things. What can we do to help convey to them that we are spiritual people, and that spirituality (remember how I'm using it) and truth don't have to be incompatible?

How can you fear God and Love God at the same time? Do you say you love God because if you dont you fear Gods "rath"? If so is that truly love?

Since atheists need proof for everything...do atheists have proof that there is no God?
