Religion & Spirituality - 11 July 2006

This is in reference to another one of my questions.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoQT8zFeRcQboFlZB4Aaclfsy6IX?qid=20060711154730AALPLEv

Here's one definition of Pagan

1. One who is not a Christian, Muslim, or Jew, especially a worshiper of a polytheistic religion (more than 1 God).

Another is one (a person) that worships the earth.

Please, please, please explain to me how that’s possible. The more questions I ask, the more some people here seem crazy.

If they are so sure in their beliefs, then why do they feel the need to question mine? There has to be at least five atheist questions on here for every theist question, and they all seem to be about the same paradoxes that every college student that just decided he was an atheist throws at his roomates because he's convinced they have no right, creationist answer.

Has anyone noticed how those who come here on "RELIGION" are to Religion to what the KKK is to African Americans.
1. They make up false charges of victimhood and that gives them the right to Bash & attack.
2. They have no interest in truth..they just attack!
3. They are intolerant of anyone who doesn't follow their beliefs..if you don't your an idiot!
Martin Luther King said: Jesus is my Lord & God
and I follow him.
Is he an idiot too?

I am an Atheist. I have read and studied the bible. I have attended chruch. I have studied many different types of religion. And after all of this I made an informed and educated decision to not believe in god.

Now....why do so many believers tell me I should not be here because it is the religion/spirituality section? I can ask/answer iintelligently about religion. Why don't I have a right to have a disscusion about god?

Meaning radical Christianity and Radical Islam. Put the radicals from both sides in an open field with simitars and bows and arrows. Also, send in the radical zionists armed as David was.

Then watch the show. That would be a radical solution if I was serious. Just being sarcastic airing my disgust about any radical and destructive cause.

A buddy and I want to hold each other accountable and have Bible studies once or twice a week. We would like to get the most out of our time and make our time with God very high quality. What resources or ideas do you have or use?

When human beings are at deaths door, is the reality one perceives at that moment influenced by one's individual belief system or personal wants/desires. Or, perhaps, is it influenced by both?


~~I ask this because 23 years ago, I was with my grandmother when she died. Minutes before her death she, she once again became lucid (she hadn't been for at least two weeks prior) and insisted that Robert was standing with us (my grandfather, her husband). I am not a christian now and even though I technically was then I tended not to believe anything other than the fact she missed my grandfather so much she wished to see him again.

I'm curious as to what others thoughts are on the question posed. Any welcome to answer and no, I will not judge you on your own belief system.

I'm firmly of the opinion that a belief is logically unjustified if it's supported by neither reason nor evidence, and faith is a "belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence", as dictionary.com says. However, religious folks sometimes claim that faith *does* constitute evidence... or at least, constitutes a valid reason to believe in something. How is this possible? Faith, to me, is a belief which has no connection with reality and is therefore self-defeating, since we could equally well have faith in both the existence *and* non-existence of a thing, with absolutely no way of knowing which was true. What's the use in that? How can faith in a thing be evidence of the very thing you have faith in? If that were so then we could wish anything at all into existence just by believing in it sincerely enough, and that is clearly nonsense.

Anyone like to have a go at clearing this up for me?

How should this threat be dealt with today and in the future? Can it ever be eliminated? What will it take for this school of thought to be erradicated from the world? Is their such a thing as peacefull co-existance with radical Islam?

My personal beliefs aside, it just seems counterproductive to try and convert someone, or to try to argue your point about stuff like this, by insulting people. Whatever you believe, don't you think you might convince a few more people by being a little more open-minded?
