It seems kind of egocentric that god would only care about humans if he created the whole universe, almost like thinking that the earth was at the center of the universe as so many people used to believe.

i respect your beleifs and though i am not an athiest, i am also not a follower of any organized religeon.

where did people go when they died before jesus was alive? what happens to children who are retarded or autistic or babies who die at birth who never have the chance or mental capability to accept jesus as their savior? what about science and evolution, even though its labeld as a "theory" so is the "theory" of gravityhow is it not real if bacteria evolves. why does god create us in a way where we have the natural urges for sex and masturbation, does he deliberatley set us up for faliure? what about the people who donate to charity and good hearted people who choose to beleive in something else? what about animals like dogs and cats they are living things right? where do they go when they die if they cant praise jesus? why arent women alowed to be pastors, does god think they are not worthy enough? why do peoplethink the bible was written by god if it was written after he died?

I see no reason why they shouldn't. Can't you can love God & a wife also. Don't you think they should be able to have the love of a good woman or if they happen to be gay a good man? I could never understand why they were not allowed to marry or date since pastors, ministers & reverands do.

Why is it ok for a man to have a wife and one or more mistresses in western culture, but polygamy is banned? Isn't it more respect for a woman to be a mans wife. Why do people look down on polygamy, but the divorce rate is so high in this culture and the reason for most marriages are infidelity. Maybe the man still loves his first wife, but falls in love with another woman too. Polygamy would solve this. There are also more men than women in the world. Polygamy would allow the other women who would otherwise remain single to get married. What is your opinion?

The logic used when explaining life using intelligent design is as follows. Things which are complex like watches rather than rocks must have been made by something equally or more complex not less complex (rocks don’t make watches). This seems fine until you realise that the watchmaker is complex and using the same logic and without twisting it the watchmaker must have been made (a watchmaker maker). I think we can all see where this is going, endless makers of infinite levels of complexity. So are we to conclude that creation via intelligent design involves an infinite string of infinitely complex creators. It doesn’t sound so intelligent to me but I am a scientist and I haven’t heard the whole argument, that I am sure. Tell me creationists what did I miss, logical answers only please.

Even if there is no God why try to convince others? I mean there is no Santa do you go around telling that to little kids? The point is that God offers life, and you offer hopelessness. So will you spread hopelessness throughtout the world? Or will you teach people moral values,respect, love, righteousness. Will you tell others we are nothing but evolved apes? I wonder if no one believed in God what would the world be like? Governments would think of population control, war, genocide of the elderly and disabled. Atheists would have you believe that all the terror in the world is because of religion. Well perhaps they forgot about Hitler and countless others before him. Sure religion is used as propaganda but that doesn't mean religion it self is evil. I just want to say im going to spread hope and good. What do you think

I am confused about this. I believe in the Bible, but this Noah's Ark story seems like it couldn't possibly be true! What about all the bugs? Did Noah keep them in glass jars or something? Wouldn't they have died?

Most people with faith when cofronted with questions of gods existence will say ,"Yes his exitence can't be proved, but niether can you disprove his existence.".
Of course this is true, observation can only provide theories, not fact- we come up with a theory and untill it is disproven it remains "fact", the longer the theory goes unproven the more likely it is to be fact, and when discrepancies are noticed we can either modify the theory or come up with a new one that takes into account new knowledge.
Now here's the problem- if the "truth" as seen by religous people is based completely on faith and we should accept it as truth, there are all sorts of "facts" about the origin of the universe and life that we could take as fact even though no observations have been made to make them appear even remotely likely.
In light of this should we not throw away our established religions and construct a new view of our purpose in this life- one which promotes continuation and development
