I see so many negative questions dividing people by their religions, I just want to know how different everybody really is and if there actually are some similarities in what they think is truly important. I'm not a believer in religions... and I'm not atheist. Three things that are important to me...

1. My family (2 brothers and 1 sister) and friends, I have such a beautiful family. A neice that will likely break the hearts of tons of guys, and the coolest little nephew who will likely be fighting the girls off him forever. My friends are also the best. I especially want to make sure that they all have succesful lives.

2. My personal standards and morals - I like to think that I try my hardest to be a respectful to everyone as well as a hard working person, although a lot of times this isn't 100% true :\ haha.

3. My craving for new knowledge and that that craving is always there,haha again this craving occasionally does diminish especially while i'm in school.

A common arguement that I hear is that atheists don't believe in God because there isn't any proof of God's existence scientifically. Well,

1. You cannot prove the number -1, since it is a theoretical number, yet the field of quantum physics would be non-existent without it. Why do you accept this theoretical number for your calculations? If you cannot prove a negative, and yet you accept it, why not accept the theory of God? (Writing a math problem like 2-3= -1 is not proving that the number exists.)

2. Gravity is only observable in its effects, yet no one is arguing that there is a law of gravity. Why do you accept these effects as a law, but do not accept the effects of God as a law? If there is a law of gravity, there has to be a law-giver. How is the law explained?

3. Scientists admit that the laws of statistical probability leave the chances of life evolving itself about the same as an unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop.

Uk school girl not allowed to wear a religious cross, is this no longer a christian country, has pc gone mad, it seems imigrants can wear what they want and display their religion openly, but christians in their own country have to hide in the shadows, I am not a christian, but I think they should not be persecuted in their own country.

I think it's beatiful that all our knowledge and gifts that we love in this life are passed on to future generations as we come closer to the land of nowhere (how very profound )

...if monotheism never came about? I'm reading a book on monotheism vs. polytheism. What do you think the world today would be like if the bible or Quran or Torah was never written and the idea of one god never came about? Where do you think we would be with science, politics, morals, etc?

Try so hard to change or convert people out of words, sometimes angry words, when it would be so much either to change others and move them by setting a good example? I imitate people who have earned my respect, and feel more inclined to adopt their beliefs when I see how their beliefs make them better people...not when they try to force them on me or anyone else.

This isn't a question mocking Christians or Muslims, it's an honest question. What do you think you accomplish by verbally attacking people for your beliefs? Most people learn by example better than they learn from words, especially angry or arrogant words. When you say "I'm right because I know I'm right and you have to accept it or go to Hell." it makes people a lot less likely to listen to you than when you're kind, patient, loving, humble, and considerate. Why don't you try respecting other people's beliefs even if you "know" they're wrong just so they'll respect and being willing to learn about yours?

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. Eph.6:5

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Titus 2:10-11

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 1 Pet.2:18
Exodus Chapter 21, verse 1:

Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them. When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out alone.

I had a Protestant friend who told me that his pastor said that Catholics worship Mary. It made me wonder where they get their information and how they can be teaching something that isn't true.

Also, why do they bash Catholicism (I consider that bashing) while you never hear Catholic priests bashing what Protestants practice? (At least I never have.)

Just to be clear, I'm not saying ALL Protestant pastors do this. It's just that most of the Protestant friends I've had were under this assumption, so it just made me wonder.

Serious answers only please.

Okay you're totally against stem cell research AND you're totally against homosexuality. But what if stem cell research could CURE homosexuality, since you believe it's curable? Would you support stem cell research then?
