if not, how come atheists claim this fabulous universe with all of its wonderful contenients, beings created without an artist ( GOD )
Is there any other funny thing than being atheist ?

Before Christ, it is evident that there was no one other than the jew who had a relationship with the God of Abraham. What happens to the multitudes of souls that died without knowing this God, will they be judged equally by a God they did not know with those who died knowing this God? My belief is that maybe, reincarnation could be real, whereby you face judgement after a repititive span of transitions into another life until you finally meet the true God in another life...Maybe we have all lived before, and could be, this is our last life and chance as we now know this great God....

Why set up the rule that Adam and Eve could eat of every tree but one?

Why create the tree?

(There is a theory that the gods ate from the tree of knowledge and that's how they stayed so smart but man was forbidden from eating it or something to that effect)

Why make the consequence for eating from that tree death?

Did "God" create sin by creating the rule?

Lao Tzu says that when the world sees some things as good this is bad.

Is that how "God" created evil?

Why do religious people get so hurt and uptight when anyone challenges their beliefs about God, while atheists remain pretty laid back, and usually don't care when the religious disparrage them? Are atheists more rounded better people because they tend to base their lives in fact, not fiction?

Question Details: "Through me is the way into the woeful city; through me is the way into eternal woe; through me is the way among the lost people.

Did someone have a little trouble getting the metaphor?

You have never experienced any other cultures or studied any other religions, yet you think that the one you chose is correct?

The Mythology of heaven and hell suggests hell as a place of fire and heaven as a place of worship. SO- drawing from this information, could it be that god keeps his most devoted followers as pets… and cooks the rest in hell to prepare for edible means? Would that explain why there are so many anachronisms and contradictions in the bible- he wants us to go to hell because to him, we’re delicious?

How can some religions have so many Gods? Why must they make you fear them.Are we so unimportant that if we don't do as they wish they will punish us? Would you damn your child to hell if he disobeyed you? Yes,I know this is more than one question.

I understand that most of the Muslims we hear about are Middle Eastern, but how many people know that there are also a lot of white and black Muslims? After all, there are plenty of white Muslims in the former Yugoslavia, for example. Also, there are lots of black Muslims in Africa and the US. Muslims are a religious group, not a racial one.

Consider this. If you have 2 objects in front of you and are about to pick one up. Does god know which one you will pick up? (If no he isn't omniscient. If yes continue) Now is it possible to pick up the other object (not the one god knows you will pick up the other one) and so surprise god and make him wrong? If yes he isn't omniscient If no we don't have free will and you need to start looking for another excuse as to why there is pain and suffering in a world supposedly created by a perfect benevolent being.

Do they understand that you have to state a true premise, and follow it with valid inferences in order to always reach a true conclusion?

If I say:

1) PREMISE: If I feel there is a god, then he exists
2) PREMISE: I feel there is a god
3) CONCLUSION: god exists

The conclusion is a valid inference from the premises, but the conclusion is FALSE because premise #1 is false. There could be other reasons for why you feel the way you do, thus the conclusion you reached is not supported.

Muslims claim to worship Allah, but blasphemy in Islam is insulting Mohammed. It's a crime punishable by death. You can insult Allah all you want in Islam without punishment. Only insulting Mohammed is considered blasphemy. In Christianity or Judiaism, blasphemy is insulting God, not Moses or Mary.

Can someone explain this?

All scripture and prophesies before Muahmmed are corrupt unless they agree with the Qu'ran that was given to Muhammed. No prophets will come after Muhammed. Muhammed is not anounced by God and only bears record of himself.Allah can not speak only what comes from Muahmmed and with Muhammed dead Allah must shut up....Isnt Muhammed greater than Allah if Allah can only speak through him and now he is dead?

Silence may be painful, but in silence things take form do they not? We must wait and watch mustn't we? In us, in our secret depth, lies the knowing element which sees and hears that which we do; not see nor hear. All our perceptions, all the things we have done; all that we are today; dwelt once in that knowing silent depth; that treasure chamber of the Soul. Are we not more than we think? Are we not more than what we know? That which is more than what we think and know is always seeking and adding to itself while we do nothing- or think we're doing nothing. To be conscious of this going on is to help it along is it not? When subconsciousness becomes consciousness can the silence in us then spring forth and sing with all it's might? Are we then complete or do we add to this evermore, into the infinite?

If scripture is the source of morality, is slavery morally permissable? The bible has many passages that deal with the correct treatment of slaves, and correct dealings between slave holders, but none that forbid slavery. If slavery is now immoral, how is that reflected in scripture?

Annals" written by Roman historian Tacitus, in Book XV, Chapter 44 we read "Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate

Roman Historian Seutonius wrote in his work "Life of the Emperor Claudius" the following about Christians: "and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws

Antiquities of the Jews, 93 by Flavius Josephus contain a passage known as the Testimonium Flavianum stating: "[Jesus] appeared to [the disciples] alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold."

Julius Africanus, quoting Thallus another Roman historian, who wrote in about 52 A.D. about the miraculas happenings the day the Son of God was killed. He wrote: "On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down"

Matthew 22:21 says, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s.”

1 Peter 2:13-14 says, “Submit your self to every ordinance of man ... to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors.”

However, Acts 5:29 says, “We ought to obey God rather then men.”

Suppose that there are people out there who need help and I want to help them, which is morally good. If I don't help them they will suffer. Yet the law states that I cannot help them. Do I help them or not?
