These things are in the Bible. The only kinds of things that are like these things are found in myth.

Why would God demand that people believe these things when these things are so far removed from reality?

Look at all the God's of all the religions... They look so much like fairy tales.. Christians and Muslims are kings, it seems of rationalization with their exercising of "faith" that they are trying to "Scientificize" their beliefs with scientific evidences which are, at best, sincere, but, as I discovered through intense scholarship - sincerely wrong.

If Joseph Smith was given a new testament to share with the world because the bible was tainted with human error, why didn't he simply fix the errors?

This summer I have to volunteer at a nonprofit as a condition of a scholarship I received. I don't have a lot of money to do this on, though, so the ideal thing would be if I could work for an organization that would provide me room and board while I was working for them.

Does anyone know of any organizations or websites that list organizations that provide room and board to volunteers? I'm interested in both US and international sites.

Why is everyone that uses Yahoo answers pro choice? Not only that, I have noticed that they think all animals should be spayed/neutered and rescued from a shelter (I'm not saything this is bad, but I have a full blooded dog). They also think war is bad even though it sets us free. Why?

Wouldn't life be more fun if DNA had three strands instead of two... sex would always be a threesome, and there might be up to eight different normal genders.

I know my own heart and it is good. I am a good person - I am more thoughtful and compassionate than I ever was when I was a Christian who claimed to love Jesus and be filled with the holy Spirit.

In fact, I love people more, now that I am an atheist than I ever could as a mere Christian. With Christianity, you cannot love without a third party (Jesus) With Atheism, when you love, it comes from the atheist's heart alone, with no filtering or outsourcing..

The reason I rejected Christianity was because I discovered (in my PhD program at Duke University that Jesus did not exist as a historical figure and that the manuscript tradition for the bible was completely corrupt and political.

I have objectively studied both sides of the debates and there can be no doubt, Christianity is NOT the truth, and was made up over a lengthy period.

You too, can learn to live honestly. Dare to question.

Hello, all:

This is a sister question to one that I just asked about Wiccans/Pagans and how they are treated.

I was thinking today about how there is a general perception that Christians are put upon by members of other religions and philosophies, in particular certain types of atheist.

As a result, I was wondering what the worst experience is that you have suffered, or have heard tell of, as a result of being Christian. Naming no names, of course, if it has to do with another Y!A user.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond.
