I used to be Christian, that's why I point out the flaws. The world has a lot more colors than black and white.

I was watching TV, reading the paper, argument is everywhere? In business, politics, sex, religion.

What are the alternatives to arguement? What not settle things another way?

I hear "Oh, well, we don't fly planes into buildings. Only Muslims do that." Of course, if you look at what your religion was doing when it was about 1400 years old (same as Islam is right now), it's not too flattering either.

Maybe believing in false gods (and they all are false) tied to the promise of immortality (what human could keep a promise like that in perspective, really) is just plain dangerous to the human race.

Science says we are genetically related. If you trust the paternity test on Montel, then you trust genetic science.

The Bible doesn't say we're NOT genetically related, it just says God made everything. The only place in the Bible that disagrees with evolution is Genesis, and in Genesis it also says that God made everything in 6 days which is completely make-believe, you have to know...

So why in the world would a grown-up believe in that PART of that one zany story instead of believing their own eyes?

Is it just ego?

The question of Christmas Trees and its relationship with Jeremiah 10:2-5, 2Thus says the LORD,
"Do not learn the way of the nations,
And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens
Although the nations are terrified by them;
3For the customs of the peoples are delusion;
Because it is wood cut from the forest,
The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.
4"They decorate it with silver and with gold;
They fasten it with nails and with hammers
So that it will not totter.
5"Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they,
And they cannot speak;
They must be carried,
Because they cannot walk!
Do not fear them,
For they can do no harm,
Nor can they do any good."
Anyone who can comment why this is a Christmas Tree please do so. Are our Christmas Trees hand-crafted, are they carried? Do we fasten gold and silver with nails?

Then he had to rest for a whole day afterwards. Couldn't he have created everything with just a wink of an eye, in a fraction of a second?

I teach five classes of college bound students, and as our problem based learning unit, the teachers have chosen to discuss the problem of homelessness. The problem is: about half my students don't even want to do it! They say it's the fault of homeless people that they are homeless, and it's not the responsibility of society to do anything to help. I know how they feel: I know that I have been angered to see homeless people throw the food I have given them away, and we all probably exchange stories about something like this that has happened to us. But that's not the point. Homelessness is a problem, and many people don't realize that there are many reasons for homelessness, not just laziness. What can I do? I've already discussed these things with my classes.

The word "atheist" is used to mean people who reject religion.

Might as well get out your marshmellows, cause you won't make it and it'll be roasting time once you die. Don't worry though, I'll come sit next to you and we can sing songs around the fire.
