Many of the world's greatest artists, dancers, writers, actors, designers and poets have been Gay or Lesbian. Isn't it the Christians who say Talent comes from God? Up against the population as a whole, the "abominations" have much more talent per person.

Do you think atheist girls who flash their breasts tonight are tacitly recognizing the existence of God?

Alright, let's use logic and mathematics shall we?

Most of you would say most terrorists are muslims, fine, whatever. Let's generalize, let say there are 5000 terrorists in this world.

And there are 1.5 billion muslims currently. That's 1,500,000,000 Muslims.

Now let's try to apply the math.

5000/1,500,000,000 = 0.00000333%

It's not even 0.1%!

Usually if you buy a detergent or some drink, they would label anything 99.99% or closer as 100%, it's safe enough to do so.

So, 99.999997% of Muslims are not terrorists. Is is safe for me to generalize?

So according to logic, how do you intrepret these tiny errors? Do you generalize it or do you take it as something out of the ordinary? Ever considered that?

Even by right, no Muslims are terrorist. Islam teaches peace, those who are againts this are Muslims in name only, just like the Christians who judge and doesn't love their neighbour.

Abortion = Deadbeat parents?

I know it is politically incorrect to say the following but here goes. Having studied the systemic attack of fathers, and now parents over the last 30 years in our social services, I note that today, the government is going after 'deadbeat' parents.

First they were called 'deadbeat fathers', now they are called 'deadbeat parents', why such a negative name ?

Consider the people who kill their unborn children through abortion, they should be called 'deadbeat' parents. Parents who do not support their children financially should not be called 'deadbeat' parents, for they at least gave life to their children ?

Bottom line, the system has been corrupted to attack fathers, now parents, (that mothers and fathers), it is plain to me.

Deadbeat parent = Abortion ?

Because how can you put up with those things? I mean think how fair it is, you don't ask to exist but you're given a tiny short life and if you mess up with rules you can't actually know you burn in hell FOREVER. Who can really worship such a vile judgemental ogre?

If God created me, what part of my DNA is his contribution?

If God has no psychological flaws why did he feel a need to create anything, let alone doing so with such horrific and barbaric threats of punishment.

Its like someone buying a kitten and then cutting its toes off when it didnt go in the yard.

Why would anyone worship something so disgusting? I guess I'm just asking because if God existed - he wouldnt deserve worship. If he exists the first thing I do when I die is spit in his face.

Is this a sign of the arrogance of the human race that in some way we are superior to animals?
we are not superior to animals but merely share the same planet as them, if it is ok to kill one type of animal then by the same logic religous people do not have the right to condemn abortion we are just another animal.

How are you cured of being gay if being gay is a choice? Ted Haggard said the words, "This is a sickness I've struggled with my whole life, but I'm cured now." So through the eyes of a christian, was he born gay, or did he choose to be gay?

I have found that with the majority of people they:
1) Are either strongly convicted in their beliefs, and try to impose their beliefs upon others, or 2) They don't know what to believe.

Satan did not ask to be created-therefore he should not be held accountable for his actions against God. If God don't like what sAtAn did than *Poof* see ya! But instead, this entity that had no fore knowledge of existance "Just like you and me" is going to be tried by a GOD! A God that created his best looking angel and wanted O-U-T. I can see why he wanted to be God, because HE WAS NOT HAPPY, He did not want to be alive, he was nothing more than Gods toy, and so he said God-I want to be you-and God said "Why", and lucifer said "Because there is something wrong with you and I want out", and God said "Why, I am God, there can be absolutely nothing wrong with me, I AM and I am also the light!" and sAtAn said You are too bright for me let me please go! God did not allow this because you see Mr. Perfect couldn't admit to having made a mistake, so instead he cast sAtAn out with all of those that wanted out, but not into non-existance but into HELL! And you worship this cruel being!

If you believe there's a God just not like it's written, and the Bible did exist but you believe it was a mad man's writing more so than men from our history, or compatible to mythology.
You are a good person, help others and are a good example.
Yes there are entities we co-exist with or energy's if you will.
And you know there's an afterlife through a different dimension.
You believe that your mind controls who you are, we are all here for a purpose of your choice good or bad.
All living things deserve to be respected, and treated as all equal meaning people,animals, plants and marine life etc, even insects. And animals are sacred not to be beaten or eaten or wasted.
Everything we need to know is there before us if you open your mind. Yes there is psychic abilities like ESP.
And maybe Earth is a single cell that has a virus or cancer called humans and hate.

Just curious what YOU think.

Just a few minutes ago I was gnawing on a large block of sugar crystals when I heard a rather massive thud coming from the basement. I immediately dropped the monstrosity of sweetness and sprinted downstairs toward the pitch of sound. As I arrived in the shadowy abyss, I spotted Gramps unresponsive remains lying across the floor amongst a few dozen pairs of granny panties and a broken drying rack. I shuddered in anguish and I sprinted upstairs to call 911 in a futile attempt to save my Gramps’ life. As I dashed toward the cellular device in the kitchenette, I became distracted with the multicolored childrens’ alphabet magnets dispersed all over the refrigerator. I felt pleased as I began spelling words far more advanced than an elementary level child’s vocabulary. But then I suddenly remembered my crucial task of saving my gramps’ life. What should I do?

...because I said they could have free will. Is it my fault? Should I have known better. I guess not, I guess I was right not to intervene despite the fact I could have saved some lives.

See where I'm going, if it IS my fault, why is not God's fault, kids no matter what age know that killing is wrong, so why would it be my fault, but not God's?

This was something I thought about a long time ago, before I knew about sites like these (or even computers for that matter). Many were complaining because the Ten Commandments were going to be removed from various courthouses. I am curious though, by the time the person reaches this level, hasn't he already violated the Ten Commandments (people only have problems with things like "Thou shalt have no other God above me" section--the rest is pretty basic--"Thou shalt not steal" or "Thou shalt not murder," things any of us would agree with Christian or otherwise).

So what purpose is it to have it there. If the person believed it to be the end all be all of things, he wouldn't have gone against it and wouldn't be in the courthouse. In which case he already has seen it and believes in it. And if he did it, its too late. So what is the point of having it on the courthouse grounds?

My boss said that to me my first day of work in Jan.2002 .

It is very funny how Christians and catholics alike will buy anything.The company I used to work for near central P.A. makes religious paraphernalia for many religions, I learned that Christians will buy any piece of crap that says Jesus on it, or indirectly implies Jesus. We used a pyramid scheme to get kids to sell our products at home,church, and in school. My question is do you know anyone else taking advantage of this eternal business opportunity. And what ideas do you have for a "new" ground breaking Christian product.
P.S. the company is owned by an atheist. I am agnostic.
