I truly believe, and you can call me crazy or paranoid or anything, or give me a BS answer, but I believe that this world is evil.

WHY, how?

Well look at how it runs. Business. Stock Market, buying/selling/trading. Every last thing is money and people are extremely fast, cut-throat, judgemental, and pretty much soulless. It's all about money.

Granted it's not like that everywhere and you can lead a good life and be happy, but I'm not talking about YOUR life, or YOUR friends, or your little corner of the world, which may be perfect for all I know,

I'm talking about the big picture.

It seems that it's run by evil principles.

The natural objective world isn't evil OR good. It doesn't exist, since humans give it meaning. It's simply nature, and that's not what I'm discussing either.

I'm pointing at the developed world, countries, businesses, societies around the world.

They all seem to run on very long structured, established, and quite "nazi" like business and authrority.

I get a 700 bucks from the government each month. I dont have a car, or a passport. How should I spend the last semi normal days of my existence here on earth? I am in Oregon now, and I dont really have many friends sadly.

NO this is not a joke.

PS
Always use or a condom or make sure that you know the person that you're sleeping with!

I do because the Bible says that women aren't to wear men's clothing and I know that battle armor and camoflauge are men's clothing!! Plus, women can get pregnant and a battlefield is no place for a pregnant woman.

We can't predict anything because all our reasoning about the external world is based on experience.

We think the sun will rise tomorrow because it always has.
Well, we say we know it.
That's inductive reasoning, to test something and if it happens enough times we assume it always shall. That's the basis of all our science.

But Hume said we can't know anything like this for the following reason.

If we believe that the sun will rise again tomorrow, we believe it based on the argument that "it always has".
"It always has" is based on the supposition that nature is uniform.

So where is the proof for nature being uniform?
The only valid argument for that is "it always has".

So the theory attempts to prove itself, thus making itself cyclic and therefore obsolete.

You know, it limits advancement. Religion is like a set of principles that is forced upon a child early in its life before most other information begins to be absorbed. As new information comes in to the child’s mind, the child compares it to the religious principles and decides whether or not to accept it as fact based on whether or not it fits in with their religious based principles that are already firmly, unshakably placed in their minds. This explains why some religious people have so much trouble accepting the theory of evolution doesn’t it?

And yeah, I know Catholic schools generally have a higher academic achievement levels than other schools but there are many other factors involved there.

Well, we're both teachers in middle school. We've never had any run-ins of any kind before, so I was a little surprised by his hostility toward me today.

I assigned my students a homework assignment of researching how Christmas (Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, etc) is celebrated in a different country and then they write a paper about it and give a presentation about it in class.

My kids appear to be excited about it and I thought it went well with the season. I thought I was being politically correct, because I wasn't asking the students how THEY celebrated Christmas and I didn't restrict it to Christianity.

But, my co-worker is a Jehovah's Witness and he really tore me a new one today ranting about how not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas and I'm brain-washing the students into my belief system.

Really, it was over the top. Especially since my assignment doesn't concern his class. Does anybody have any ideas about what I can do to appease this situation??

I saw today a question from a believer claiming that he doesn't believe that atheists exist.

He believes in "god" and he is not able to admit that there may be people who don't believe in any deity.

If a person believes in a deity, does this block his/her ability to imagine how it feels to not believe in "god"?

Does it also cancel the times while the believer was doubting about his/her faith?

Why does it seem so hard for a believer to comprehend that there are people who don't believe in "god" (or in any deity)?

I think that believers can easily understand agnostics but not atheists.

It is like someone who love eating strawberries could not understand that there may be people who consider that strawberries are tasteless (I don't say disgusting).

As an atheist, I think I understand the faith of many believers. I don't understand why many believers can't understand the disbelief of atheists.

Thanks for your answers :-)

religious people ask you a lot of questions and try to guide you to religion and stuff like that ... ?

if you think that your belifes are good...considering this fact that a good person tries to help others in order to not belive in false ideas to advance in life

what would you pledge religious people if they become atheists what would you promise them !?

Any one else notice how amazingly funny Creationist websites are? I would like to compile a list of the excessively odd ones. The ones I like best have a horrible layout and super tiny super fuzy pictures. I have a couple here could you please give me more links if you have them. The wilder the lies the better.

Those tracks are mentioned in both sites one saying they are genuine and the other saying that some one carved them during the depression to earn money both sites are creationist and Highly amusing. Thanks.

Think about it. In order for the son of God to be born, he would have to find an ideal candidate to bear his child. When God found Mary, he realized that even though she was good, she was still of sin like all humanity. Since God didn't want his child to be born from a stained woman, he purified her the moment that Jesus entered her womb. Is that why Catholics believe Mary is holy?
