Here is Verse 22 of Chapter 5 of the Gospel According to St. Matthew, in the translation commissioned by King James:

"But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."

I've noticed on this website Christians have a great penchant for calling anyone who disagrees with Christian 'teachings' a fool or an idiot. This is as much as to say, "We have all the answers and no one else knows anything. Not only do we have the rules for governing our own lives, but we have the rules that everyone else must also obey. There is no debate on any issue, because we know everything, and no one has any relationship with us unless it is to gain the infinite wisdom we alone can dispense."

I really do want to have faith and I've searched for it all my life. However, I am a scientist and I don't seem to be able to accept faith. I've considered looking into unitarianism, anyone know much about it? I still need faith for unitarianism don't I?

I asked atheists "How do you explain miracles?" and NONE of them could explain it! They said "They don't happen" or "You don't have proof a miracle has ever happened" or "That's all crap"--well those answers just prove to you that there is a God. They can't explain miracles! Don't say "Miracles don't happen"--because I've witnessed them before. I've seen God work and that is something atheists can't argue with.

Does it really make sense that people use the response that "something had to create the universe"? Can't the matter that makes up the universe have always existed just as easily?

If the answer that everything always existed is too hard to believe, why is it easier to accept that god created it? Who created him?

Is there a direct connection? Do they have so much ego and pride in being able to solve their own problems they feel they don't need God and disregard him because of that, or does it run deeper than this?

Here's my idea. I want to get lots of religious and not religious people to take the IQ test at www.iqtest.com. It is a very reputable site and is the top result for a search of "IQ test" on google. It only takes about 13 minutes of your time. Something like 5 million have taken their test. The average score is a 108. I'm guessing the non religious will score higher. Prove me wrong if you're not too scared! Besdies, if you score low you can always just say that the test was bs lol.

PS - I got a 139 last night. I'm an atheist.

story of adam 10. And We have given you (mankind) power in the earth, and appointed for you therein a livelihood. Little give ye
thanks!
11. And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell
prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who make prostration.
12. He said: What hindered thee that thou didst not fall prostrate when I bade thee? (Iblis) said: I am better than him.
Thou createdst me of fire while him Thou didst create of mud.
13. He said: Then go down hence! It is not for thee to show pride here, so go forth! Lo! thou art of those degraded.
14. He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are raised (from the dead).
15. He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved.
16. He said : Now, because Thou hast sent me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on Thy Right Path.
17. Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right bands and from their
left hands, and Thou wilt not find most of them beholden (unto Thee).
18. He said: Go forth from hence, degraded, banished. As for such of them as follow thee, surely I will fill hell with
all of you.
19. And (unto man): O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and eat from whence ye will, but come not nigh
this tree lest ye become wrong doers.
20. Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of their shame,
and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest ye should become angels or become of the immortals.
21. And he swore unto them (saying): Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you.
22. Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they
began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called them, (saying): Did
I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?
23. They said : Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely we are
of the lost!
24. He said: Go down (from hence), one of you a foe unto the other. There will be for you on earth a habitation and
provision for a while.
25. He said: There shall ye live, and there shall ye die, and thence shall ye be brought forth.
26. O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the
raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they may remember.
27. O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your (first) parents to go forth from the Garden and
tore off from them their robe (of innocence) that be might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he seeth you, he and his
tribe, from whence ye see him not. Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not.
28. And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us. Say:
Allah, verily, enjoineth not lewdness. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?
29. Say: My Lord enjoineth justice. And set your faces, upright (toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon
Him, making religion pure for Him (only). As He brought you into being, so return ye (unto Him).

Atheists, how do you explain miracles? I mean there have been people lying in hospital beds dying and the second someone lays hands on them and starts praying they are healed. How do you explain that? I mean I'm sure things like that have happened millions of times throughout history--so how do you explain those kinds of things?
