I have a person at work who is trying to get me to push my religious convictions to the absolute extreme. He says that I should get rid of all my earthly belongings and donate all my money to his church. He also says that I'm Hell bound if I don't. What should I do?

It really seems like there are several of you who are the same person using different screen names. At first I thought,"there sure are a lot of Atheist in here", but now, after reading so many of your Q&A I think that some of you post under numerous identies, making it appear there are more.

It seems like we don't like exceptional people very much. Even Einstein is always made fun of for being bad at math and forgetting to wear socks.

Okay. This is going to sound REALLY weird but.. here goes nothing...

Do you believe in the supernatural, like telephathy, ESP, witches? (ONLY THOSE THREE PLEASE!)

and if you do, do you think you have any, or have been in another demension (like in the chronicles of narnia)

Are you worried atheists will tease you with "I told you so." Tell you what, put down your Bibles now, and I promise I won't rub it in.

As you may already know, I've been asking several questions to see how mich about GOD, the Bible, and the religions that followed them the average person really understood. Twenty-Five questions later, I am convinced that Humanity, over the centuries, has drifted away from the true meaning behind the Bible and situated itself rather precariously, just outside of the protected area. The teachings of Christianity have become more of a control device (a rather petty one, no less) than a path to salvation. I find it sad that such a terrible fate could befall such a noble attempt to better Humanity.

Well, you know how I feel about the matter. How do you feel? Do you believe that the average person (be they Christian, Jew, Atheist, Wiccan, Agnostic, Anarchist, or person with no opinion) truly understands GOD and his Bible? Do you think the average person truly understands these things that they give their soul to or Damn relentlessly? Don't be bashful. This might be the last question...

I have been seeing what a person i know is doing even though they don't live anywhere near me. i see them in my imagination, and then find out what they were doing later through 3rd party. she's not in danger, just sad. i don't know her well, and we aren't really in touch. has this happened to you? is there some message is this? something i should learn? it makes me feel like something urgent is going on, especially the first time. but every time, there is really nothing for me to do. it makes me feel restless.

p.s. i am reposting this, thanks very much to all my previous answers. it was late at night and maybe i will catch some day folks this time!

If you are, when did you become a member and why? And if you are not, would you ever consider joining?

I'm too lazy to look it up in a dictionary, or search it via internet.

Honest question. Your are looked upon as primitive-minded people in much the same way as you look upon voodoo practioners.

Just silly, animal sacrifices, ritual cannibalism, fantasy world of demons and gods.
Get real, get into the 21st century. Myths are for entertainment. You may as well ask us believe in Tinkerbell.

Has it improved your life, helped you physically, delivered you from drug abuse or comforted you during grief?

there is a saying that nothing is free. everything on this planet costs you. they even sell water. but you can go on the internet and get free porn. movies, pics, stories and downloads. this is the only thing I know that doesnt cost you something. (or maybe not) it does cause a person to be grounded to their physical self instead of their spiritual sides of themselves. and maybe that is payement.

If I have to go swimming in an ice filled lake, should I store large amounts of blubber first? What would Jesus do?

This is a question particularly for Christians who support the Bush administration and/or the War on Terror. And I'm not asking this facetiously... I'm serious. This seems like a HUGE contradiction and I honestly don't understand it. The Bush administration and their right-wing cronies claim to be Christians, and yet they've chosen to invade countries, kill terrorists and other "bad guys," and bomb places back to the stone age. They've argued for the necessity of torture, claimed that certain numbers of Iraqi civilian casualties are "acceptable," and assassinated opposition leaders.

How many bombs do you think Jesus would have dropped in retaliation if he had been President on 9/11? Would Jesus "waterboard" terror suspects?

Religion, of all things, should be a unifier and a bringer of peace and enlightenment into the world. And, in a way, it is one of the only things that has been successful in uniting people across cultural and geographic boundaries. Unfortunately, that unity typically stems from the ideology of; believe what I tell you, in its entirety, or suffer eternal damnation. From that heavy-handed authoritarian place religion actually becomes a very divisive thing. Its all or nothing nature leads to an us vs them mentality. When brought up against other religions with the same ideology and all-or-nothing belief structure it creates a conflict and paradox that cannot be resolved.

I hope we are coming to a place where people will reject organized religion and the divisiveness it brings. I hope we are entering an era where people will approach the world with an open mind and ask more questions instead of thinking they always have the answers.
