I'm an atheist. I don't consider myself immeasurably intelligent. I doubt I'm more observant or open-minded than others. What separates the precious few atheists from the other 98% of the world?

I'd love to sit face to face with Jesus - the day is coming, but a good cup of coffee with my friend right now would be pretty nice.

Anybody else have any?

My atheist friends, its ok with me if you want to substitute 'holy' with 'inspirational' or whatever - Neitzche is ok

The lifecycle of the tapeworm Taenia asiatica alternates between people and pigs, an animal that the religious authorities of both Judaism and Islam agree is unclean. It would be of interest to know just when these filthy animals infected people with their parasites. But the answer is not quite what had been expected.

Eric P. Hoberg, of the U.S.D.A.’s Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Md., concluded in 2001 that people contracted tapeworms millions of years ago in Africa, long before the emergence of agriculture and domestic animals. It was humans who infected pigs with tapeworms, not the other way around, Dr. Hoberg and colleagues reported. Indeed, people infected pigs not only with Taenia asiatica but also with a second species of tapeworm, Taenia solium, which humans seem to have acquired either by eating each other or by eating dogs.

If pigs had a religion, it is pretty easy to guess which species they would designate as unclean.

Christians, do you believe that watching pirated movies or listening to pirated songs is sinful? This includes movies and songs on youtube, Veoh, Google, or any other online video source that has pirated videos on it. If it is, then do you still do it regardless?

To follow up on that since i obviously can't reply. The fact of the matter comes down to: It's not YOUR body, it's not YOUR choice. let the person themselves decide. I'm sick of seeing these stupid abortion posters. I'm sick of seeing these stupid anti-meat posters. everyone needs to shut up and keep their big noses out of other peoples lifestyle~

as for the question: which do you prefer? peeps or hard boiled eggs.

Why did a loving creator make sharp teeth meat eating animals that obviously were meant to eat each other?

Many conservative and Orthodox Jews, and conservative,Evangelical, and Fundamentalist Christians base their sense of Morality on the Bible. However, while the Bible condemns some practices such as homosexuality it also allows others that to modern eyes seem questionable. Among acts allowed in the Bible are polygamy, slavery, rape (when the victim doesn't cry out), capital punishment for minor crimes, and religious genocide. The Bible also condemns some practices that much of modern/contemporary life couldn't get along with out such as growing multiple crops in one field, making clothes out of multiple fibers, charging high interest, and working on Saturday.

Is it truly possible to base morality on the Bible in today's world?

Since God created us he should know human nature and that most people raised a certain way will stay that way. As long as they are not out killing other people or anything why would he send them to eternal hell? That does not sound like a loving God to me.

Personally, I can't imagine how this is possible.
