we do not and will never know some things instead of inventing wild ideas and calling it religion.
(And dreams that we have when we almost die, also come from imagination, and are not a peek into a possible hereafter.)

What do you think? To me, it makes sense, because Atheists don't have a gathering place like a church or whatever to discuss their beliefs, so they go one here more.

The reason i say this is because i constantly see questions bashing atheists whose answers, the pro-atheist ones at least, seem to have tons more Thumbs-Ups than any other type of question.

Or perhaps atheists stick together more, so there just seems like there's a disproportionately large number of them on here because they show their support more often with the thumbs-up's.

How do you use the thumbs up function? No, wait, i'll ask another question about that...

Anyway, whaddaya think?

in American government? Or not? How would one go about finding out if the state representatives who are pushing these "laws" through the various state legislatures around the country are religious people or not? And for you smokers out there (religious or not), what are your thoughts on this issue? On the way into work this morning, I saw a bumper-sticker that read "At least I can still smoke in my car and house", and this is the reason I'm asking this question.

Weak atheist - one who chooses to withhold a belief in God until sufficient unequivocal evidence is presented.

Strong atheist - one who asserts that there is no God, and that it is unreasonable to believe in one (i.e. Richard Dawkins).

Many people hate the words ‘homophobia’ or ‘homophobic’ being applied to them because they believe the word only means fear of homosexuals or homosexuality and they honestly don’t feel that way. I can accept that. But I think those two words can be used in another way that might apply.

Let’s say you are a heterosexual male and your new girlfriend had dragged you to some party where you notice that many of the men in attendance are gay. How long can you last without telling someone you are straight?

Your wife needs to use the restroom at the mall and she wants you to hold her purse until she comes back. Do you do it? How does it make you feel?

Are you uncomfortable in situations where your heterosexuality might be in question? Why should you be “afraid” of what others think of you when you know the truth?

Think about it; the apes learn to speak, use tools, unite to fight the common enemy(man), build social institutions equivalent to modern society, etc.

What do you think, and what sort of religion do you think the apes practiced? If the apes were to continue evolving, and set up there own internet with R&S, would they post questions like, "If man evolved from monkeys, why are we in charge now?"

Some people claim that Mormonism is a work of Satan. According to this point of view, believers are following false teachings and would not be accorded a pleasant afterlife. Now, concerns have been raised about Mitt Romney, to the effect that a vote for him will raise the profile of this religion and effectively endorse Satan's bid for souls.

So, I'm curious to know how many non-Mormon Christians of all flavors support this take on matters. And, if so/not, why?

Many women say they endure abuse for years from men because they feel men are the stronger sex
Other women say there is a mother instinct to stay with the children regardless of the pain that is caused bye the men
Some men say no one is twisting their arms. They are adults and chose to marry or bre with Them willingly
Some men say they are not only stronger physically but can use their mental power to show how weak women are
Some men say if they wish to be abused, why not take advantage and hang on to a good thing
One woman worked two jobs plus did all acts that he wished willingly. All concerned are adults
All if you choose to answer anyway who consider this boring, weird or not answerable should find other questions to answer. However , your response is respected and will be read.

I want to go with my boyfriend and my father doesn't accept it. Also, he doesn't accept me because I'm gay. I'm really hurt because if my mom was alive she would defend me.

In the most general sense they should be since a religion is a set of beliefs and practices.

Religion answers the greatest questions in life, such as where do we come from, or what is right and what is wrong.

No religion would be pure selfishness, i.e. eat, drink, and be merry.

There's this rumor going around on my rather small college campus that I'm a lez. I've been aware of it for a few weeks, but I've had a couple girls approach me and am getting invitations to gay club and feel that it's going a little too far. Tell them that I'm not interested, and they just say I'm in denial. I think that the rumors might stem from the fact that quite a few of my guy friends are gay and my gal friends are bi, but these are all people I've been friends with since before they came out in high school, and I can't very well just blow them off because of these rumors. I know very well that I'm straight; I've dated guys in the past and have no interest in girls. But there's really no one that I'm interested in right now, and I'm more concerned about getting my degree than going out of my way to locate a boyfriend. Help?

i understand that 'islam' comes from an arabic verb 'aslama' - meaning to subdue.

so 'islam' means 'bondage'.

islam is the bdsm religion. is this the real reason for the hijabs? is this why it is becoming so fashionable?
