Say you took a pill everday and you never aged again, but it was sort of expensive (but you could indeed afford it, but not many could), would you?

I think it would be great in theory, but lean towards no myself because I fear what the cost to humanity the development of such a treatment might be.

I mean every generation has said they will be the witnesses of Jesus' return, but obviously they've all been wrong. I mean didn't He say He'd be back before His generation had passed? Now I know I never was able to figure out what parts of the Bible to take literal, but it's starting to look like He isn't coming back, I mean there's been plagues, and world wars, that could have easily become armaggedon, but still nothing. I mean you got to admit it really doesn't look like He's coming back.

So my secondary question would be how long should we wait until we give up on Jesus coming back, can we say 500 more years?

Out of every religious post here on answers not one atheists talked about their ethical philosophy, principles of atheism, or anything relevant to atheism except for one thing.

Denial of Christianity. Every topic either slanders the church, spreads hatred towards religion, is condescending or otherwise down right mean towards Christians

But let me ask you. What would you talk about if their really was no God? if every single person on earth held your point of view, and I mean everyone, and there was absolutely no religion or any spiritual beliefs held by anyone at any time, and there was not even a word for such things. What would you now have to say?

Why would God take you into his heaven if your such a dull dim-witted stiff? You don't even know how to smile and live life. You just boss others around and yell at them....hardly Christ-like.

If they have both organs, who are they to marry without committing sin?

They are obviously born that way.

There is no scientific evidence, proof, or anything of a soul.
No one has ever seen it.
No one has ever found it.
It's all imagination.
The concept of a soul is a powerful tool used by religion to recruit members.

Unlike other racist beliefs , Islam says God will bless both sons of Abraham and make them a means of blessing to all the world.

Islam says Hagar and Ishmael were sent to Arabia when he was an infant and not a 17 year old like some contradictory verses of the bible suggest.

Islam says there was no spat between Ishmael and Isaac since Ishmael lived thousands of miles away in Arabia when he was a 17 year old man.

However, other verses in the bible do prove that Ishmael was an infant by the way he was carried on the mothers shoulder.

It looks like early Jewish scholars did not want to admit that God would promise to bless the world through BOTH the sons of Abraham.

Islam was chosen to host the "Prophet like unto Moses" who would bring the Final Law and book.

Just as Moses was a statesman, law giver, MILITARY LEADER and father ...... so was Mohammed, the descendant of Ishmael.

Or what if the Bible god actually existed, and he did stufff like magic tricks for Moses, changing his rod into a snake and back again; or divine vengance, like turning bears loose on a group of children cause they teased an old holy ogre; or widescale scares, like threatening the earth with a curse every now and then?
Would atheists still deny that stuff if it was actually true?

I SAY YES, CAUSE THEY ARE CONTRARY-- WHAT SAY YOU, YOU YAHOO ANSWERS PEOPLE?

Who will join me in denouncing the atheists today?

Belief in God is fine with me. I ask an atheist to believe and they reject the idea. Now what? Now you leave them alone because God never asked us to shove religion down someones throat.

But their argument is that we should go away because everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. This is true, but the believer and non-believer take it to the next level.

They both believe that what they believe is true fact.
But what if instead the believer replaced God with the world being round. An atheist believes it is flat. Now who is right?

An atheist and a believer both have their arguments, even if the atheist will not accept them, and the believer will not accept the atheists arguments.

So why is cultural subjectivism a withheld view by so many when there is definitely a right and wrong side.

I AM NOT ASKING WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG SO STUFF IT!

Quote from Nebuchadnezzar: "Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise,
exalt, and glorify the King of heaven, because all His works are
true and His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who
walk in pride."

No disrespect intended, but in the eastern Orthodox church my children have recieved communion immediately after their baptism as infants. As they grow and learn about the church they learn about the importance of confession and communion and continue to recieve communion each and every Sunday. I don't understand the process for Catholics...why all the white dresses, special ceremony & party and gifts after? Granted we had a family dinner after our girls were baptised, but no gifts were expected or wanted. It was to celebrate our childrens entrance into the church and the beginings of their religious education.

Is there a fundamentalist holiday that I am not aware of?

Or, did they run out of rhetoric and their memorized regurgitation of their Sunday School Bible verses to drop.

They are never up for dialogue..but, usually at least, they drop a few Bible verses and inflammatory remarks and then run.

I mean, if they really believe all that stuff in the bible then wouldn't they be more Christian-like to pity the non-believers? Or to at least see an opportunity to save a lost soul?

I saw where someone called athiests pigs on yahoo answers and it reminded me of the radical Islam that is creating so much horror in the world. To have such hate as to call other humans that because they disagree is so hypocritical to me. I had to post this question.

What do most people think of a person who is an atheist? Does it matter if you have known the person for awhile and you know that they are a good person?

I'm just curious as to what comes to most peoples minds when they hear the word "athiest". Thanks
