I'm Christian(don't worry; I'm not going to preach to you haha), I'm just curious. Have you always been Atheist? If not; when did you decide to become Atheist, and why?

There are certainly enough of us, and even before Christ, there were millions of people on this earth.Did God want each man or woman to choose a mate and make babies straightaway so as to populate His earth or did he want man and woman to marry first. And who were the first of all of the cultures, to marry?

WHICH DO YOU THINK SOUNDS MORE SOUND?
ya know I came across an interesting concept a couple weeks
ago I think it was, about how the mark of the beast may not be literall microchip implant, but a choice of the true sabbath, Saturday or Sunday. Saturday being the true day of worship and rest, while Sunday being the day the Roman Catholic church under their own theology changed the day, which isnt stated in scripture. So as to you go on Saturday in your own way during the tribulation somehow ur cool, jus end up beheaded. Or if you go on Sundays you accepted their mark, I.E. you have to carry around a card or fingerprint scan that proves you attended sunday to buy,sell,work all the stuff it says. interesting thing I came across you, but you cant cancel anything out for sure, plus I dont plan to be around to find out :)

Book of Judges, chapter 9
8: The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
9: But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
10: And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
11: But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
12: Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
13: And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

then found God? I was a disbeliever myself for 25 years, i would ridicule believers as crackpots who believe in things that were not proven, then I experienced the supernatural, and from there its not even about belief, because I KNOW something is here. Tell me how you can be so sure there is not, when I am so sure that there is?

If religions are faith based, for example like the gods of old still have there little sects and secret worshipping rituals and faith groups, what would happen if nobody worshipped them anymore?

Instead of saying it will be constant fire burning you and your teeth chattering and so on, if it were described as something more fathomable, such as "you'll be stuck in a prison that you can't get out of and you'll be sick and severely depressed."

For me, the latter sounds scarier, perhaps because I can actually imagine what that would be like.

Science shows that everything is either matter or energy. Could the spirit, soul, etc be a special kind of energy?

You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do. When you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that. People go for help, but their lives don't get better because of those [psychiatric] drugs. They get worse. They feel numb and they're told that's a good thing. It's how you degrade a society -- by drugging the piss out of it. Fvck me for being the only brilliant man left on the planet.

He came back after he was crucified? He showed himself to Mary, and the diciples at the sea, and showed himself as another person, wouldn't that indicate that He already retured and the 2nd coming is not literal but a transformation inside each and every one of us?

I can't hardly stand to see some of them that are so realistic. It is just not pleasant to think about.

Do some people get calloused to this from seeing it so much?

and you are putting all your trust in science, math, and physical evidence, Then are'nt you putting all you trust in the brains of other men? So whatever these mortal men tell you, that will be your belief? Knowing the conditions of the world and man's many negative qualities, is'nt it foolish to put all you trust in mortal knowledge? Is it possible that there are just other dimensions in which mortal man have not discovered yet? Is it possible that a disbeliever is a disbeliever because that is the path God has chosen for you? Please, this is not an attack on anyones beliefs, I just want answer to the questions, your honesty. Please don't ask me questions or attack me

What does it mean in the bible when it talks about that we are surrounded by "so great a cloud of witnesses"?

This can be found in Hebrews Chapter 12.

The modern patriarchal religions would have us believe the one God is male, and men recieved from God the concept of worship and religion. Many older religions recognize both a male and a female diety, in some the male diety came first and is dominant, and in others the female, and in some male and female shared equal creative prominance.

Do you think the first rudimentary rites, rituals and traditions of spirituality, religion and magic, and the first concepts of an unseen powerful creative force, or forces, were originally started by men, or by women, and why?

Because he really felt that the Apocalypse was coming in his own day. He longed for and expected a time of great peace, equality, and righteousness and he expected it very soon.
And he died cruelly, and never got to see that time.
And here we are, 2000 years later, and so many people still share his hopes for that time, and yet even now, it has not happened.

Doesn't this make you sad to think about it?

life... Anyways my next question is if this was just a symbol then why didn't Jesus say to the Jews when they questioned "how he can He give his flesh to eat" that he actually meant it as a symbol not his real flesh/body ....but instead he just pushed on the concept saying if you don't eat His Flesh and Drink His blood you will not have no eternal life a.k.a. you will have no life

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. 53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

Why do people say they don't worship a God. Whether it's Christ, Allah, Yishaw, Buddah, money, fame, fortune, themselves, everyone worships a god of some sort.
