Society & Culture - 28 December 2007

Church, bible study, awanas. I never really thought about how much of my childhood was spent with me being spoon fed religion. They seemed to know what the counter arguments were long before a mere child could even think to question the truth of their doctrine.

I remember that I was the kid who always got the most points for quoting verses.

But now, looking back, I wish I had been asking questions instead.

Atheists: How do you argue/reconcile this declaration with your belief system?

In 2001 the poverty rate for minors in the United States was the highest in the industrialized world, with 14.8% of all minors and 30% of African American minors living below the poverty threshold. Moreover, the standard of living for those in the bottom 10% was lower in the U.S. than in any other developed nation except the United Kingdom, which had the lowest standard of living for impoverished children.[Williams, Brian; Stacey C. Sawyer, Carl M. Wahlstrom (2005). Marriages, Families & Intimate Relationships. Boston, MA: Pearson. 0-205-36674-0.
] In 2006, poverty rate for minors in the United States was 21.9% - highest child poverty rate in the developed world.

And yet we are a "Christian" nation?

Daily I hear of murder and torture from the Middle East and perpatrated by our (the Wests) agents. Who could be so sub-human as to damage another human being? How do they live with themselves?
When I think of the atrocities carried out every day by yours and my people I want to blast them all to kingdom come. I understand that this is also bad and sometimes think that we all deserve destruction. How did it get to this? Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks this way..

In studying faiths of the world, I think you would be very hard pressed to find one as bloodthirsty as the christian faith. Even in the bible literal genocide on innocents is commanded and rewarded.

And if an aethist believes in the devil doesn't that automatically assume a belief in God? If that's true then does that mean that they really aren't aethists at all?

Worried that this will happen to you?

Unimployment insurance doesn't help fired emloyees does it?

This is a question that came up a year ago, at least a couple times.

A similar question was coincidentally 2 years ago.

Coincidentally not one and a half?

Or is it coincidence?

Did you ever get closure?

Ever get dumped? How was is compared to closure after a broken relationship?

Did it turn out to be a real "blessing in disguise"...causing you to look HARD & dilligently for something better, and found it???

Do people prefer a private hell rather than change? Was the lost expected? Was it for the best?

Is the bible right, that all things work together for good, for those who love God?

Praise God for turning our "scars into stars".
