Do you have a religion? What is your religion?

Why do you believe this? Is it because you have been socialised to beleive this? Is it because you feel you have to beleive this? Did you choose to beleive this because of something that happened to you? or is there another reason you beleive this?

...interest in our universe, allowing the natural laws to do the rest, what evidence would you present to prove such a god could not exist?

This is one of four fundamental questions of life. The other three being, "Who am I (what am I worth)?"; "Where did I come from?"; and "Where will I go when I die?" Every thinker who has ever lived has considered one or more of these questions at least once in their life. It is best to consider first, "where did I come from?" The answer to this question relates directly to the other three.
There are only two solutions to this controversial question. The implication is there are only two real solutions to the other three questions as well.
The two worldviews are Special Creation (Somebody made everything), and Naturalistic Evolution (everything made itself). Either Someone made the universe (space, time, matter and energy, with all of their complexity, all the laws, such as gravity, inverse squares, cause and effect, thermodynamics, etc.) or nobody made the universe. Prior to the 20th century, it was debated whether or not the universe was eternal. 20th century science confirmed that the universe indeed had a beginning. So how and why did it begin?

Tell me what did Nabi contribute to Humanity other than violence( It was clear even from 14 century documents: See what pope quoted)

20% of Muslims only Read Quran and terrorists read it 8 hours. (Read it 8 hours and cant change the mind of Bin Laden: What sort of holy book it is, Hee he he he)

People join Christianity to get peace and harmony in life and repent for thier sins.
Those who join Islam , either becomes bombers, killers or supporters of Fatwas and religious killings.(Yusuf Islam)

The tree is alwasys assessed by the fruit and not how it looks like, so please do not quote anything from Quran.

A university is graded by the quality of students come out from it, not the beauty of the building or what is written in the texts, so dont quote quran.

Does this site ever make you want to weep giant tears for humanity? Does the ignorance spouted here ever make you throw up just a tiny bit into your mouth? That dinosaur question did it for me. I mean, people can't differentiate between a dinosaur and a big lizard, hoiw ever will they be able to differentiate between science and creationist propaganda?

I believe that true piece can only be found in salvation. When you are sure of your salvation, all parts of life we find difficult to deal with are certain to seem so much less important if you know in your heart that you are saved. I think I am saved, but I am not absolutely certain. I am the sort of person that has a very difficult time trusting and believing in others, cynical by nature, and I question many things, and seem to over analyze everything. I believe in Jesus Christ, I have attended church and went forward to give my life to Christ, been baptized, and raise my children as Christians. Other christians I know seem so certain of there salvation. However, I am not. I want to obtain that piece that comes with ones salvation. I am looking for help from someone to help me obtain that.

I can understand why people living in the dark ages believed in magic. Why does 95 % of the population still believe in it today? Is the fear of death being the end that much of a motivator?

Here is the problem. I have found the Holy Grail and have become the Grail King. The Holy Grail is not a cup. The word Holy Grail is a metaphor for the Philosopher's Stone, the Lost Word, the Elixir of Life, the panacea (the universal cure)... If I give it to the World; this old world will be destroyed. What would you do?

a freind of mine told me that the reason why we do not converse with each other really well is because i need god

he said that no body is ment for me ( as in a significant other ) and that god is the only one that can be there for me

i am not sure i understand .. can you explain this to me ? why would he say that?

i am not sure i agree - he said that god is the only one that will be there for me? so freinds or loved ones are not worth it?

( this guy is in his 40s and been single all his life and i wonder if this is not why )

please tell me what you think - thanks!

While questioning the atheists, this image struck me as an explanation for why so many religions exist, seemingly in disagreement with one another.

Each mirror in the House of Mirrors distorts the original image, yet they all reflect something that truly, objectively, exists.

You both sound like fanatics, ignoring the logic that argues for uncertainty, or at least deference to the possibility of being wrong. You both resort to "I believe because I believe" circular logic.

Given all the grief atheists give theists for the faith of theists, I am amazed you'd resort to the same reasoning and be blind to it.

And to clarify:
1. I am not a christian
2. I'm not an atheist.
3. I'm not an agnostic (I have my own convincing spiritual experience)
4. Atheism is as faith-based as Theism, due to the lack of convincing evidence to support the premise of Atheism.

Not all Muslims are terrorists

Then answer my questions.

Name of muslim RELIGIOUS leader(not political) who fought against terrorism?

Name a Muslim religious Leader who found a terrorist from thier Mosque and handed over to police?

If all muslims are not terrorist why do they get big , violent, mass protest , calling for beheading and bombings in the streets of Europe ,ten thousand of Muslims taking part?

Out of 1 billion mulims , 20% only read the quran with understanding , and most of them turns bobmbers , imams recruiting terrorists. Comment on it.

How can 1 billion people keep quiet regarding the actions of a minority?

Does all muslims support terroriist?

I thought the whole principal of Atheism was to be a free thinking leader. To deny the existence of a deity and not to follow a "cult"? If this is true, why do you steal Christians identities, such as "WhynotaskDon", "Julia" and "Me, the original JIBBA JABBA" Why do you ask the same questions OVER and OVER, (Like can I roll a joint with pages from the Bible" and "Was Jesus Gay" Can't you people think for yourselves? Can't you come up with any orginal ideas? I wouldn't call that free thinking, I'd call that "without a mind of yourr own" I guess that's why you have such a hard time with our concept of "blind faith", Appearently you can't even think for yourselves, much less believe in something you can't copy cat.

I can't seem to find a religion that's not atleast a bit funny or just so scary that the only thing i can do is laugh at it.

What's your religion, is it funny, scary or both?

going against the ten commandments(thou shalt not kill). A Muslim is told by Allah to kill all people that don't believe in him. A Christian is to turn to another cheek and not kill. How can we protect outselves without sining

An Agnostic says there is insufficient evidence to support the claim for a god or goddess. And Atheist argues there is definite evidence to support the belief gods and goddesses do not exist.

Knocking down one or two pantheons does not demonstrate that there is -no- god or goddess, only the ones knocked down.

Shall we use your logic and argue that you do not love because you cannot provide verifiable evidence that you feel love? Shall we use your logic and argue that you do not fear because you cannot provide verifiable evidence that you feel fear? Is there any reason to believe you are not simply interactive software programs because we do not have verifiable proof you exist as humans?

Using the 'lack of evidence' argument is not a very convincing one. How many of you have personally witnessed an atom, or an atom bomb going off? Shall we argue they do not exist either, because you cannot verify from personal experience their existence?
