Atheists, of all the religions / mythologies / spiritual belief systems out there to choose from, do you believe that any of them are inherently "better" than the others?

(I realize that "better" is not well-defined here; that is intentional. "Better" could mean less violent, less judgmental, less incredibly wacky, more tolerant, or simply more amusing. I leave that up to you to decide.)

My second question is: When you teach these religions to you (hypothetical) children, do you teach any/all of them "straight up" ("This is what such-and-sos believe....") or do you teach them in a way to avoid easy conversion (such as pointing out problem verses in Christianity, etc.)?

(I'm considering having children someday with my atheist boyfriend, and we're trying to work out the whole religion thing. :p I'm interested in the opinion of the community here.)

married? This has doubled in recent decades. Are we heading toward a trend where marriage will be the exception, rather than the rule? And, what are churches doing about this? Are they accepting it as a normal evolution of humans and their religious beliefs?

Acts 20

7 On the first day of the week, we gathered with the local believers to share in the Lord’s Supper. Paul was preaching to them, and since he was leaving the next day, he kept talking until midnight. 8 The upstairs room where we met was lighted with many flickering lamps. 9 As Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, became very drowsy. Finally, he fell sound asleep and dropped three stories to his death below.

How many people, who claim that evolution is “just a theory”, have actually looked up the scientific definition of the word “theory” before they used it?

Are there any days you just have to take off from it, like when you do something so bad that you just feel you don't have the desire to talk to God about it or you are too ashamed to?

Like yesterday was a really bad day for me and by me, since I said and thought some really bad things, and at the end of the day when I usually pray, I just felt like I was too far away from God because of what I did to pray openly to Him.

Has anyone else had this experience and how did you deal with it?

Why do we assume that it has never been done in the past?

Why do we assume that Paul was not out to make a few sheckels?

What are the reasons, the cobra is sacred and is worshiped? I know Sri Lord Shiva wear them. And Sri Lord Vishnu sleeps on one. Also Sri Lord Ganesha wear one, and his brother Sri Lord Muruga's peacock stands on one. I think and item pictured wit a God is sacred; but there must be more than that. Thank you.

What do you think of this belief? (Warning, there is English faults)
1. Existence has a substance. This substance is the existence itself. Substance constitutes a force pushing the existence to exist

2. The universe, its space-time as well as its energy-matter are logical continuity and extension of this existence

3. The Purpose of existence is to exist and be simply

4. The way allowing attaining this purpose is that of the global blossoming of all existence

5. So, the existence scatters across time and space composing billions of billion of individual conscience.

6. All those consciences will migrate and transmigrate in corporal envelopes on Earth as on other planets across the space and time

7. Here low, they will live each various experience of life developing a personal improvement!

8. On the death of the corporal envelope, conscience will leave this last to go back towards existence

9. The Existence will absorb conscience as well as its personal improvement

10. If conscience is improved enough, so it will merge with existence. If need be, it will transmigrate on a planet in a new corporal envelope for continue its personal development.

11. The blossoming finally acquired, conscience will merge with existence and will do one with this last

12. This fusion will enrich existence in its global blossoming and will assure it of its continuity

13. It will scatter one more time forming billions of billion new consciences which will follow the same way

14. All this composes an existential cycle, endless, going beyond space and time

SOME Christians have such awful judgemental ways and in their attempt to woo people over to the Lord in fact push those people further away. There are many people on this site exactly like that. DO you think what they are doing is a sin, and are they going to be held accountable for those lost souls?

I mean, just look at the word 'mankind', itself. It's actually TWO words: 'mank', and 'ind'.

Nobody knows what those words mean.

And I think that's why mankind will always be a mystery.

Some would go up to people and say. You're pretty wrinkly and grey, wanna know how to get rid of that. Then tell them they are stupid for not wanting to change themselves. (It's a little blunt and rude, but their hearts are intending to help). Then tell them they are stupid for not wanting to change themselves.
Isn't this the whole concept of spreading the word? To share with others the joy and peace and love that we have found in Christ? Not to point out their flaws, and tell them they are wrong if they decline.
