If jesus was killed on the cross over 2000 years ago. How can that possibly be to pay for my sins when i was only born 25 years ago? If it does, then why should i worry about committing anymore sins as it sounds like we are in credit.

...or are they really out to scam thousands of gullible people out of their cash by scaring the hell out of them with cheap nonsense from some story book about going to hell?

that you claim there is no God when the overwhelming majority of the world disagrees with you? The last I'd heard, something boarding on 95% of the worlds population believes in some form of higher being. In psycology that would be enough to classify atheism as a diviance. Does that worry you? Do you really believe that you're just smarter and you've got it figured out? How arrogant do you think that assertion is?

Note: Please don't answer by singling out Christians, Muslims, or any other religion. I lumped them all together so singling them out would be more blind anger than cognative thought. You can simply group them as "theists."

Have you shared with a creationist a little sanity and reality today? The day here is still young.

Specifically what I'm talking about is evil evil. Like child molesting and murdering and rapeing and blowing up buildings.

What do you think is appropriate punishment.

I say total elimination from society, after a finding of guilt.

Do you have any views?

What's all this talk about free-will? Our directions are dictated by our desires, likes and dislikes, not free-will, right?

While people are entitled to their opinion using religion to justify hate, violence and showing enjoyment over someones death seems to go against God's will or what God wants us to do.
So what punishment should God hand down to Fred Phelps and his family for using his name for the purpose of hate?

Christians, Muslims etc. and their dogmatic religions seem to segregate who Jesus/Allah/God likes and dislikes, is the only reason because they personally have a problem with homosexuals, atheists and every other non-believer (of their particular faith) themselves?

Can you compare them to Hitler, who wanted to create the master race by eradicating everyone he considered not perfect? Do religious folk act in a similar way by condemning everyone they feel their 'God' doesn't like to burn in the fires of hell in a similar way Hitler sent millions of Jews and homosexuals to the gas chambers?

Then again, Hitler was also brought up a Roman Catholic which he later rejected in favour of Protestantism.

Jew, Christian, Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist/non-believer, or whatever you prefer...

And, why would you make that choice?

This is intended for those who are regulars or have read enough questions and answers to have a valid opinion. But, anyone can answer.

Try to imagine you had no prior religious instruction and the only thing you knew was what you read on Y!A's.


Thanks.

Some offshoot of Islam called "5 Percenters"? As a kid, I was in high school when I heard people speak of this, and never really cared to ask, because it seemed like a fad. What is it all about? Why do they hate white people so much and call them the 'devil' and call certain foods (that have nothing to do with porcine meat) pork or swine...Doritos for one, and Kool-aid for another. The moon and star emblem was very symbolic to them, I recall that much, and they had taken tha alphabet and hacked it up into these meanings...too weird and obscure for me to try and take a dash at off my limited recollection. Anyway, does anyone know who founded this, what it stands for, the history, and beleifs of this "religion"?

As opposed to personal opinions from most other sources.
That the answers make sence?
That they are clear and understandable.
Do you realise we are trying to save your eternal life?
That we love mankind, and just want what is best according to God?

I posted this question:

Do you find these 2 things similar?

Not all Muslims are terrorist, but all terrorist were Muslim.
Not all Homosexuals are pedophiles, but All pedophiles are homosexual.

The removed this question twice. Its a valid question.

I've asked this before but at a different time of the day so I am expecting different posters...

I was in my early 30's when I walked into light of atheism, prior to that I was a lutheran.

As a father, I have taken a "laid-back" attitude toward religion to allow my children to come to their own conclusions. However, my moral base and my sense of right and wrong initially came from my early exposure to christian teachings.

I am curious what "life-long" atheists have used as the basis for their morals.

I'm sure that I'll have some christians will also answer this question. I would be curious about your positions as well, just don't be a wise guy and say something pithy like "Atheists have morals??"
