I do not think I am doing anything exciting. I am just going to be at home and visit with family.

How about you?

How pathetic can the Catholic Church be to ask people to give money to buy their way to heaven. How cheap and sleazy can a religion get. Even Cult leaders are more slick in their deceit than this.

Both atheists and believers have the same basic questions about why and how we came to exist, and what our ultimate destiny is.

My question for atheists is, how do you begin to answer these questions?

Fact and faith are different.
Fact is something already 100% proven to be right.
Faith is something you are not sure of 100% and it hasn't been proven yet.

It is a fact that I have five fingers.
I have faith that my mother will come back from a long journey.

If you Christians believe in God's existence 100% then it is already a fact isn't it?

You can't say that you have faith that you have a relationship with Jesus and He with you all the time 100%.

If you are 100% sure that you are not delusional then it is a fact not faith.

Possibilities and probabilities of something needs faith.
Certainties are facts.

If God is a certainty then you should call it fact not faith.

I hope I explained it clear enough for you to understand.
So what do you think?

Some are rather unusual, and sound as if there would be a story behind them.

To apparently save our souls?

Shouldn't you be praying for Atheists and all non-Christians more than Christians since you think we're going to hell?

Or don't you really care about us?

If the government says "no religion" but John over there believes in God, or a god/s, is he free? No, he isn't.

So doesn't freedom infact require religion? Not forced religion, I'm not saying to have a free country you have to have a official religion or anything, but you still need religions in order to have freedom, because one essential freedom is the freedom of religion, the right to think and believe however you see fit...

When I see children in pain and distress around the world I wonder why does God allow them to taste Hell on Earth first to be allowed to get peace and happiness in Heaven after. How can a supposedly JUST and LOVING creator be so insensitive towards the pains and miseries of its creation? What kind of God is that? A Devil?

I hear all the time that Allah looks at your heart, not your body.

Then I started thinking about how I never hear anyone say "wow, he/she is a good person" it's always "wow, he/she is hot".

Looks like a lot of the time the people that put the outside as #1 end up not being happy, but the people that put the inside as #1 are usually the ones that end up happier.

is this like a tomatoe tomAtoe thing? I say peenalize and people look at me funny.

in case you're still wondering, i'm asking for correct phonological use of the word "penalize"

"Don't penalize me for........doing such and such."

and Yes, I've given this a considerable amount of thought.

Well I've seen X-Men and Fantastic 4 and all those other cool superhero movies but are there really people with the abilities to turn invisible or to fly or even to absorb energy? All I know is that there are people with some psychic abilities but I'd like to know this! I want to know if this really is possible. Can people have superhuman abilities? Thank you to all answerers!
