Here is the awesome movie trailer for Expelled:
http://www.expelledthemovie.com/home.php

What do you think of the trailer?

Atheists are always asking for evidence...while evidence abounds.

One could drown dehydrated in crystal clear, filtered, water complaining that there is absolutely nothing to drink...
-

Meanwhile, scientists are persecuted for even suggesting the possibility that God created the universe and us. They lose their jobs, their tenure, are ostracized, proclaimed mentally ill, and slandered to no end...

-

(My recent “similar” question was deleted for a violation that said it wasn’t a question. And a BIG THANKS to whoever reported me – giving me an excuse to share this awesome movie trailer again! And my apologies for my contacts, who gave such excellent answers to my question.)

Here are more than enough questions:
1) Is the movie Expelled a Jewish version of Lee Strobel’s “Case For a Creator”?
2) What do you think of the movie trailer?
3) Atheists: Why do *some* of you gouge your eyes out so that you can’t see the sun...and then claim there is no visible proof for the existence of the sun?
4) Atheists: Would you be willing to see this movie? Read “Case For a Creator” by Lee Strobel? Read “Evidence That Demands a Verdict” by Josh McDowell? Read “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis? That is, for YOURSELF?

do you think that severe illness such as anurisms, epilepsy, a.v.m., mentally retarded, and all the others are a result of generational curses (passed down through the generations) or iniquity..maybe the curse upon all creation due to the sin that entered in the Garden of Eden? What do you think? Could this be possible? If not, why do these things happen? Even birth defects in babies? How do you explain these awful things?

The flowing fur lined ritual robes get shortened sometimes, but the pointy hat remains on his head--when the christians stole his myth, did they tell their children it was a wilted dunce cap in order to chirstianize it?

i'm tired of religious hypocrisy and control over humanity. How can we free-thinkers and truth-seekers destroy the power of religion?

i'm seeing a lot of bashing coming from atheists, why can't you accept that some of us have a different experience, and most of us are not harming you in any way?

He is a very good friend of mine. His wife and kid are not in town. We meet up for a dinner/lunch/movies sometimes, but meetings have always been outside. I have felt like inviting him for a homemade dinner(nighttime), but since I live by myself, and his wife isn't around - would it still be appropriate?

And no, he is strictly a platonic good friend with no hints of anything fishy whatsoever.

I am just not sure if his wife will be OK with it (I have not gotten a chance to know her very well - just met her once on their wedding day), and if overall, technicall speaking, such a thing is no big deal and I should go ahead.

On 2nd thoughts, maybe I should call him for lunch on a weekend instead of dinner.

Jeremiah 10:2-4
"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."

I need a myth (could be from Norse, Chinese, Greek...) where the hero or god (preferred god) had to make a huge choice (preferably between three things). Provide a description for your explanation please. Thank you!

The concept of Zeus as a real, relevent diety probably seems pretty silly to most people reading this today.

If this can happen to Zeus, at what point will it happen to the current Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any other god that is worshiped today?

Is it just a matter of state-sponsorship that makes one religion dominant and accepted, and sends another into oblivion?

I'm sure if you're an outspoken atheist, you must get a lot of emails from nutjobs saying ridiculous things about their religion and so forth.

By nutjobs, I don't mean EVERYONE, just the ones that make it clear that they're crazy.

When you get emails from these people, do you consider it worth the effort to explain why they are wrong, and give them a little "education"? Or do you just tell them to go kiss a duck?

Unfortunately, I usually do the latter, as I figure "crazy is just crazy" and having a rational discussion is pointless.

Has anyone here ever had a good conversation with one of these types?
