Some people invent some fairy tales, those fairy tales are even believed by a majority of this world's population. People base their whole lives around those fairy tales.

And in our era we have guys like Sam Harris telling us the fairy tales aren't true. And he even makes money with that! Common sense has become a paycheck. Somehow it scares the hell out of me to live on a planet where common sense can become a paycheck.

Or is it more like poetic justice? Religions made so much money over the centuries, that it's only fair that we take our cut too now?

I saw previews of this on television the other day, and can't wait to purchase the entire series. The videos were made using a new high tech camera, that can actually zero in on the smallest insect from outer space.

I can't look at all the forms of life and nature on our planet and not believe in God? All of these things could not have come about by chance, coincidence, or out of the blue.

For those who don't believe in God, without anger or defensiveness, how do you believe these things came about, from the tiniest insect, the largest mammal, to Mountains, planets and all? Please don't mention the big bang theory for years ago. There is no way such fine detail exists from a big burst of disorgination.

In the Koran, they are sometimes referred to as material beings. Then, sometimes, they are described as immaterial or "energy" beings, if one wills. So, are they like muses? This adds a whole new dimension to the Qu'ran faerie tale.

Look at it this way. You feel, as a saved person, that you get to go to Heaven when you die. But imagine you get there, and the Bible is right (which you already thought anyway) and your mother and sister and some of your kids (because they weren't "saved") were not there. Wouldn't you think you were tricked and that you were really in Hell?

If you want to go even further, what if it all is a trick, and you leaving your friends and family for the cool club so you can go somewhere better than them is actually a test. Because they didn't try to be more saved than anyone else, and insist that they had all the answers and everybody else was wrong, they actually get to go to Heaven, but because you decided it was okay to leave them behind, you end up going to Hell for putting your happiness before your love of your friends and family.

Isn't that a trip to think about?

How could it have been a gesture of love for Lot to offer his daughters to the men outside his door?

(If you know the answer to this puzzle (for sure), please e-mail me the answer; so as not to spoil it for the others who are trying to guess the answer.)

This just came about from another question I asked, so I'm curious, with the fundamental Christians that feel a need to disprove evolution, when it is disproved, will this somehow prove creationism is right?

Can something be right by default, with no scientific evidence to prove it?

Don't say "I'd be a robot" because that doesn't answer the question. What would you FEEL? What would you THINK? How would you know if it happened? I want to know what you think it would be like from YOUR perspective.

a place where we can learn about atheism.

where we can bring the brain washed kids to learn about Richard Dawkins and science.

where we can discuss who to vote for.

its not fair that religious people have a place to go and that we don't.

it offends me that we don't have any leaders to vote for.

Do these Christians still disagree among themselves about whether or not Jesus is God? If so, what do they believe? Also, how do they differ from denominational christians? Is the only difference that they do not accept a religion by name such as Baptist, Pentecostal, Jehovah Witness, Seventh Day Adventists, and other? Or are there other differences?

I have two papers due in about 4 weeks in my class "Great World Religions: Christianity." The subject for one of the papers is "What is most believable about Christianity and why? What is most unbelievable about Christianity and why?" I know this one is more of an "opinion" paper, no wrong answers, but I'd like to see what everybody else thinks. It might help me out getting started.

Now, I don't want you to do my homework for me...I'm just a little lost getting started. I need a direction to take off from. That's also why I am asking for only one or two sentences on the subject...please no big long paragraphs, just a line or two. Something that will give me a good starting point.

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.

And we can see God by invisible attributes, why do we NEED the Bible. Not that it can't be useful, but why do we NEED it? Was Paul wrong or right?

Do they use God's name in vain?
If the name of God is Jehovah and the witnesses believe that they are the true religion and that they have the true translation of the bible and that there are only 144,000 to make it to heaven and those 144 thousand are considered true Jehovah Witnesses. Therefore, isn't that a vain way of using the Lord God's name?
