but because of my innate insecurities I demanded that they worship me or I'd do terrible things to them, wouldn't that make me unbelievably pathetic?

Six people with damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex were presented with moral dilemmas (e.g., would you smother a baby to prevent bad guys from finding and killing people in hiding) and were found to be two to three times more willing to kill than people without brain damage. The advertised conclusion is that such willingness to kill is objectively immoral. The feared conclusion is that if brain design determines what's moral, you can change morality by changing the brain—and once technology manipulates ethics, ethics can no longer judge technology.

the Bible thumpers come out, saying without doubt that I am going to hell.

That is judgement...why such a double standard?

Is it o.k. to point out the supposed sins of others, but overlook those of the fundamentalists who call themselves Christians?

I love that I have compassion.
I also love that I can laugh at anything.

I saw a youth minister impregnate a youth, and then marry her.
This took place in a Baptist church in a small town.

How much of this crap have you seen? If this is any indication of what happens on a larger scale in larger congregations and cities...then this is pitiful.

Why do fundamentalists continue to point fingers at others in this world...instead of cleaning up their own house? Why are so many fundamentalists such hypocrites? Are they pointing their fingers at others...to try to keep people from looking at them?

Most people follow their parent’s religion without questioning it
Are they brain washed into believing

even bother trying to explain it to the Fundamentalist Theists among us?

Their typical question is "If you don't believe in God then how did we get here?"

Since their explanation involves a talking snake, does it really even justify a response?

Wouldn't it make more sense to tell them to rethink that talking snake bit and then come back when they have a better explanation that doesn't sound like Mother Goose?

I am definitely of the opinion that the person with the talking snake story is the one who has some explaining to do, and not the other way around.

Also if chance doesn't work in your favor, do you then claim, "God has a reason for" that particular outcome?

that would mean the earth is not 6,000 years old. We know the continental plates are moving at the rate at which your finger nails grow so, if they were all together then that mean the bible is wrong.

Has anyone come to know Jesus as a result of the ramblings on this site?

Has anyone changed their mind or opinion as a result of this site?

Do you really think this site has any use other than for the amusement of people...or for people to blow off steam?

Serious question...some fundamentalists have posted that they think God is working through this site...I think it is a cop out for a bunch of people who feel guilty wasting so much time on their butts...on the internet...

I wouldn't be on here, if it weren't for being slow at work...at just trying to pass the day...

What are your thoughts? Change your mind because of discussion? Is this a worthwhile place to be wasting time?

Would you allow people to learn from mistakes and become wise or would you give them a book to tell them what to do so they wouldn't have to become wise?

Would you condemn your creations to eternity of suffering for your mistakes of letting them have a choice?

Now, Who is more evolved, you or God? Then why are there all these worries about hell?

What????!! Five evangelical Christian leaders signed the "Land Letter" to President Bush in 2002 affirming a Christian theological basis to invade Iraq.

in the third paragraph

so evangelicals have blood in their hands Jesus is going to reject all of them (Matthew 7:21-23)

One night I opened the bible in the dark and the page I opened the bible to just pretty much explained what was going on in my life but then again I dont beleive in the bible so why?

Some have said that Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult...

Some say that Catholics are going to hell...in addition to Jews...

Don't even start on the Muslims, Buddhists and Islamic faiths...

A lot of discord among the people that call themselves religious...everyone of them profess to have the "inside track" on God, religion and their Bible....

So, how do you know that your religion is right? Do you not believe that others feel just as strongly and convicted of their beliefs as you do? However, you condemn the other religions followers to hell for their beliefs?

Are you not all seeking truth...why can't you acknowledge, that yes, there may be other ways that are correct.... than the one the I believe in.

How do you know that your religion's Biblical scholars who know the original texts...spend many hours studying are more knowledgeable than the other religions? How do you know that you are not following false prophets?
