Did you make a conscious decision to become an atheist or did you just become one as a result of not buying into theistic beliefs?

What do you think of the Dog the Bounty Hunter situation? I believe that its been blow way out of proportion. Yes we know he said the word... But it was in a private conversation, That was illegally taped, The conversation was taken completely out of context, So do you honestly believe that he should lose his show because of this private conversation? Or do you think that A&E should strictly look at what he has done for his community and base their decision on the good he is actually doing? Please all honest answers I don't want anyone calling me a racist here, I just want an objective debate on the situation. I like him, I feel that if Imus can get his show back, then why does Duane Chapman need to be hung in the street over the same thing?

I like the color red, if you don't, I don't care...it feels like the same thing to me.

Believe, like...what's the difference and why does it matter?

Why are these phrases seemingly repeated with every elder I have come across:

I Bear to you my testimony

Burning in my Bossom

The Church is True


exactly almost every time?

I am a pensioner who has been advised to go and live in a warm dry climate for the benefit of my arthritis and weak chest. I have no other languages, not a great deal of money and do not want the exercise to be too complicated. Spain is the obvious choice and there are communities of Brits. there, which would ease the language problem. However I am not really keen to live by the beach on the Costa Del Fish and Chips. In fact I don't care if I never see a beach again. There are places like Malta and Cyprus, but I do not know if an island climate would suit. I will have to rely on public, not private health facilities. Can any kind person with RELEVANT EXPERIENCE advise me please?

Why do people keep throwing around the Pullman "quote" that he is trying to "kill God in the minds of children". Where and when did he say this? I've been searching for a while and the only source of this "quote" seems to be from the propaganda release from the Catholic League--a release that has at least one instance of dishonestly quoting Pullman out of context to "prove" their point.

Can someone post a link to the original, unedited source of this so-called "quote"?

My sister-in-laws brother and wife are coming to our house for Christmas. I know her brother, but I don't know his wife very well. I know she is going though chemo right now. His family fights all the time during the holidays, so he wanted to celebrate somewhere else. I got him a gift I'm sure he'll like. But the problem is, I don't know what his wife likes and what she doesn't like.

I was thanking about getting her a gown, robe, and slippers. What do you think?

What is the best prayer you say to give thanks? I just accomplished something really great, after a lot of prayers, and I need a special prayer. Thanks

It is all a contest about who is the best looking........and who looks best in a bikini and an evening gown. They do ask one question........but it is never complicated!!! One of the questions I remember was "Who would you choose as a rol model: Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton" and the girl says "I don't think any of those girls should be role models" and the audience cheered..........Boy what brains that takes!!! What a hard question!!! Boy she knows that those girls are bad role models what a genious........Seriously why cant fat ugly ppl be in these beautfy pagents. Why don't they admit they are just about looks? Who cares if you are good looking? I used to be in a beauty pagent and think it was so great to be beautiful and win crowns but now I seriously think it is retarded!!! I now focus on school work and I think getting a 4.0 on my report card gives me sooooo much more fulfillment than winning a stupid beauty pagent............

For example a 2008 big organizer book,, a banana rack holder, shower radio, knife set,,-- these are more like $3.99.. but if it looks nice, is it ok?
Last year i gave my cousin a nice 2008 organizer and calender from the dollar store, it said $20 on it and looked it..
His wife made a comment to me that she includes the gift reciept with every gift..and i should to.
isnt that rude?
and is it ok to to give gifts from the dollar store with no gift reciept?

I'm looking for answers from Chrisians here. I am an atheist and I can't seem to understand why you choose to believe that non-historical book and the religious authorities who codify arbitrary moral rules for you to obey. Have you researched your religion? What made you decide that Christianity is right for you? Especially with some of the evidence there is against the Bible's truth (ex: zeitgeistmovie.com).
