I know in their eyes they are the same, both myths, but that is a ridiculous argument, come on....actually there are many historical documents that describe the tooth fairy and many cultures have some form of belief in a magical fairy that exchanges coins for unwanted teeth...people worship her all over the world.

Oh that's right, none of that is true. All the religious books, beliefs and thousand year old traditions of numerous cultures give more credibility to God or some form of higher power, especially when compared to some fairy parents made up to make their kids happy about losing teeth...so do you Athiests think you are "unconverting" anyone by constantly comparing God to the freaking tooth fairy? Can't come up with a reasonable, intelligent defense for your beliefs except to associate God with some irrevelant, obvious myth? God isn't that easy to disregard, the tooth fairy is, you can't compare the two.

I've had many people tell me to live by the bible and I wil be saved. Interesting concept, only if they themselves would do it. Honestly most of those who are religious and say they live their life by the bible really don't, from what i've notice. If you compare their lives to the bible, you'll find out that they pick and choose which parts they wanna follow and which parts they wanna ignore. It seems that they make the bible fit their lifestyle and not make their lifestyle fit the bible.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Kayla Brandt had an abortion three years ago and instantly hated having done it. Now, hoping to stop other women from making the same choice, she is a public advocate for the most severe abortion ban in the nation.

"I don't want anyone to feel what I did," Brandt says.

To think passing a law will stop abortion is incredibly naive,

i am a very open minded person, i do not think that abortion should be illegal. it is a choice that should be made between the person's involved, no one else. i have seen the old footage of dead women lying on the bathroom floor after trying to do it with a coat hanger. do people really want to go back to that?
don't get me wrong, Kayla Brandt has every right to feel this way. but what right does she have to tell us what we can and cannot do? if she see's it as a major sin, that's fine. what about the rest of us who don't believe what she does?

Group 1 believes in "A", but admits there is no empirical evidence for "A". Group 2 does not believe in "A" because there is no empirical evidence. No one in group 1 is in group 2 and no one in group 2 is in group 1.

Sometimes people from group 1 want to have rules set up for groups 1 and 2 based on "A", to which they fully admit there is no empirical evidence.

Sometimes people from group 2 get upset and demand the proof of "A", and suggest that in the absense of such evidence, people in group 1 stop trying to control group 2.


Is it logical of group 2 to ask group 1 to show group 2 some empirical evidence of "A", and in the abscense of such evidence to stop trying to control group 2 with the "A".

If we all sleep in death to wait for the coming of Christ, then where do ghosts or spirits or whatever you want to call them, come from? Are they people that woke up too soon from death or just never went to sleep?

It is logical to assume that someone cannot think logically if they do not express their proof in symbolic logic?



Or is that an irrelevancy to the real issue of logic and just a game?

In south park we see the devil in hell torturing souls, is essentially south park accuruate in its portrayal of what fundamentalist christians believe,

or,

is it accurate in portraying how non fundamentalists perceive what fundamentalists may or may not believe,

so, if r is south park,
and p is fundamentalists,
and q is everyone else,

did you make fun of your p's and watch your r's?

I constantly see Christians (mainly) trying to convince athiests that God exists and saying they just need faith or that they are stupid for not believing (that's helpful). Then I see athiests telling those with religious beliefs that they are stupid.

Can't the Christians realize that NO ONE is going to believe in the spiritual if they have never experienced it? To ask them to do so is illogical.

Can't the athiests realize that the spiritual can't be proven with the physical, and that many of us believe in the spiritual because of personal experience? Telling us it does not exist, and that we should accept your experience over our own, is illogical.

So isn't this constant bickering on both sides useless?

Zechariah 11
12 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.

13 And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"-the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter.

14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel

12 I said to them,
"If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them."
So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. 13 The
LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price
that I was valued at by them!" I took the thirty pieces of
silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of the LORD.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might
break the brotherhood between Yehudah and Yisra'el.

As it is exampled on my last question on this issue. I straight up copied Jesus' Words, word for word, in my last quesion and people still say that it is all done or fulfilled, and that's not what Jesus said. Paul has said differently; but all the words on my last question was from one of Jesus' sermons. They were completly His words.

What makes someone pick one part of Jesus words, and disregard the rest? Is that not just as bad as ignoring all of His words?

OMG, What should I do?


Jesus cut a hole right through his hand with a hedge clipper. I tried to help him but he said that it dosent really hurt. What should I do to help Jesus?

I had a wonderful conversation with Jeusu the other day and he even told me that he thought Darwin was right. Jesus is so smart.


Disclaimer: Jesus is the name of my Mexican gardener. I did not choose to name him Jesus - his mother did that so dont tell me Im going to hell for blasphamy.

I asked a question earlier and people misunderstood both me and the Bible but I think I got it now...

First, The "One, Triune God" is different than "God the Father"...

Therefore Jesus is part of "God" but he is not "God the Father," nor the "Holy Spirit." That much is evident... They are three seperate personalities, no if's and's or but's about it.

Second, they are united as one with each other's wills... That is, The will of the Father is the will of the Son is the will of the Holy Spirit... but as humans, we can strive to make the will of "God" (not "God the Father") our own and thereby become "One" with them as well... per John 17:20-24.

So, is this assumption right? I think I just mixed the semantics up... "God the Father" is different than "God." Therefore, Jesus can pray to the Father and still have it make sense because he is not the Father (which is what I have believed all along) although he is untied together with the Father in the "one, triune God."

yes/no?
