Not one civilization has really survived without religion. I'm an atheist, but do you think us concealing our fear behind a system of beliefs is the best path, or will it ultimately lead to our destruction?

If science and technology gave humans a chance for survival away from the Earth would the religious feel Earth-bound ? Would they leave even if the Earth were in for certain destruction ?

THE government of every prudent governor is ordained to the perfection of the things governed, to the gaining, or increasing, of maintenance of that perfection. An element of perfection then is more worthy of being preserved by providence than an element of imperfection and defect. But in inanimate things the contingency of causes comes of imperfection and defect: for by their nature they are determined to one effect, which they always gain, unless there be some let or hindrance arising either from limitation of power, or the interference of some external agent, or indisposition of subject-matter; and on this account natural causes in their action are not indifferent to either side of an alternative, but for the most part produce their effects uniformly, while they fail in a minority of instances. But that the will is a contingent cause comes of its very perfection, because its power is not tied to one effect, but it rests with it to produce this effect or that, wherefore it is contingent either way. * Therefore providence is more concerned to preserve the liberty of the will than to preserve contingency in natural causes.
2. It belongs to divine providence to use things according to their several modes. But a thing's mode of action depends upon its form, which is the principle of action. But the form whereby a voluntary agent acts is not determinate: for the will acts through a form apprehended by the intellect; and the intellect has not one determined form of effect under its consideration, but essentially embraces a multitude of forms;* and therefore the will can produce multiform effects.

3. The last end of every creature is to attain to a likeness to God (Chap. XVII): therefore it would be contrary to providence to withdraw from a creature that whereby it attains the divine likeness. But a voluntary agent attains the divine likeness by acting freely, as it has been shown that there is free will in God (B. I, Chap. LXXXVIII).

4. Providence tends to multiply good things in the subjects of its government. But if free will were taken away, many good things would be withdrawn. The praise of human virtue would be taken away, which is nullified where good is not done freely: the justice of rewards and punishments would be taken away, if man did not do good and evil freely: wariness and circumspection in counsel would be taken away, as there would be no need of taking counsel about things done under necessity. It would be therefore contrary to the plan of providence to withdraw the liberty of the will.*

Hence it is said: God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel: before man is life and death, whatever he shall please shall be given him (Ecclus xv, 14-17).

Hereby is excluded the error of the Stoics, who said that all things arose of necessity, according to an indefeasible order, which the Greeks called ymarmene (heimarmenê).

So supposedly He created hell and then set us up to fail. Supposedly only "saved" Christians go to "heaven". So let me see if I have this right.? God sacrificed himself to himself to save only 15% of all the humans on earth right now from hell. Do you really think that was a wise move?

I give Him a lot more credit than that.

I have asked this question before, it is one of my favorites.

when we see right wing christain groups shouting the odds against stem cell reaserch and the likes do we not then class all medical treatment from the humble headache tablet to chemotherapy as a sin. please bear with me here. my arguement goes that all medicine had to be researched by scienceists. headache tablets dont grow on trees and the chemicals used in chemo isnt actually a natural chemical and was reserched and made by man. if stem cell research was to hail the next big breakthrough in human medicine and could create a cure for cancer or hiv aids would that be really evil. i understand the idea of harvesting stem cells is a bit of a hot and touchy subject but when considering that an awful lot of medical and scientific reserch was done on the bodys of dead humans stolen from there graves is this any different? would you turn down medical treatment which has come from this research in the past?

The Bible was written thousands of years before science.
The Bible is clear — Hell is inside the earth!

Ephesians 4:9, says of Jesus: "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH."

On page 85 of Beyond Death’s Door, Dr. Rawlings writes patients who described hell said, ". . . this place seems to be UNDERGROUND or WITHIN THE EARTH in some way."
Scientist and Bible teacher, Henry Morris also agrees the Bible plainly teaches that hell is in this earth:

"So far as we can tell from Scripture, the present hell, is somewhere in the heart of the earth itself. It is also called 'the pit' (Isa. 14:9, 15: Ezek. 32:18-21) and 'the abyss' (Rev. 9:2). . .
The writers certainly themselves believed hell to be real and geographically 'beneath' the earth's surface. . .
To say this is not scientific is to assume science knows much more about the earth's interior than is actually the case. The great 'pit' [hell] would only need to be about 100 miles or less in diameter to contain, with much room to spare, all the forty billion or so people who have ever lived, assuming their 'spiritual' bodies are the same size as their physical bodies."
(Henry M. Morris, The Bible Has the Answer, p. 220)
The Birmingham News, April 10, 1987 had an article entitled "Earth's Center Hotter Than Sun's Surface, Scientists Say". The article stated that scientists have recently discovered, "THE EARTH'S INNER CORE HAS A TEMPERATURE OF OVER 12,000 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT!"

Have you seen pictures of a volcano erupting, spewing a lake of fire from inside the earth — consuming everything within miles just from the heat? When Mount St. Helens erupted in May 18, 1980, it was described by reporters, "when HELL surfaced upon the earth." The book, Volcanoes, Earth's Awakening (p.91) describes an erupting volcano as "descent into HELL".

Thousands of years ago, the Bible described a place called hell in the heart of the earth that matches exactly what science is discovering.

Hey Atheists can I have all of your souls, so I can devour them with a bit of hot sauce. It doesn't seem like your using them much anyway. Have a blessed day, and thanks in advanced.

I was talking with my classmate the other day, and he said that if you are an atheist, sin doesn't apply to you. And Christians are the only ones who "suffer" from sin. Since atheists don't believe in God, and therefore don't believe in sins, how can atheism be a sin, when atheism doesn't affect christianity, and sin doesn't affect atheists?

isnt there a way to love Christ without beleiving that everyone who doesnt will burn in hell? i want to worship God, but beleiving in a religion where everyone whos not a part of it will be damned just turns me away from it. How can anyone participate in a religion where you see your non-christian friends and family as damned to hell? Is gahndi in hell? is everyone who ever died for a rightious cause in hell? is everone who led peaceful, charitable lives in hell?

...Polygamy for these benefits?
Automatic childcare in a sexist society gives women more effective choice to have a career without devaluing the role of homemaker. Being able to marry men who are already married means that women can marry men who have already proved themselves, therefore minimising their risk. Being able to marry the men who attract most women means they don't have to settle just for what's left after other women have the best pickings.
Having the possibility that a husband can remarry without divorce extends practical security to a woman. She needn't worry about losing her husband and income as she loses her looks, because if her husband is attracted by a younger woman, he doesn't even have to think about leaving his wife. Polygamy removes the pressure on a husband to commit adultery, and removes damaging deceit from a marriage. Polygamy provides a method where a woman can have a female friend for life as well as a husband.
