1. How can god create matter from nothing, Scientific law proves (With physical evidence) That matter CANNOT be created or destroyed . 2. If god created everything, then he must be outside of everything... Therefore he is nothing . 3. If god is all good, and he gave us all free will to do whatever we want. If a child in the road got run over by a maniac... Where is the childs free will? There was nothing it could do to prevent it? (Knowingly)

To whoever can answer these questions WITHOUT quoting the bible or saying crap like "With god anything can be done)

The you get best answer, Even if i don't agree with it

Then make people paranoid and scared, then offer a fix! "Believe in my made up god and you will be saved" But hold on, I never did anything bad. "Don't question, believe or you're in hell" But I only had sex with my girlfriend who I love and one of my friends is gay.... I think they have actually caused most of the harm in the world by telling man that he is inherently 'sinful' You keep telling someone that they are bad and eventually you will get what you asked for. What does anyone think?

According to the Bible, man was made in God's imagine and man and woman were naked.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27

"The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame." Genesis 2:25

I have noticed that most religion bashers, such as Dawkins, reproach the followers and not the religion itself. How can they judge a religion by its followers?

I quoted this phrase from a website.
"Islam is the way of life; Muslims are people who claim to follow that way of life. A Muslim may claim to follow Islam, but be wrong. " Same goes for other religions.

Makes sense: If they are killing embryos / babies, why not go further and hide the paedophiles too so they can increase their business ?

A nationwide pedophile protection scandal involving facilities run by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation is emerging from a two-year undercover investigation by Life Dynamics Incorporated of Denton, Texas.

Life Dynamics said it recorded over 800 calls to facilities across America in which an actress portraying a 13-year-old girl impregnated by her adult boyfriend sought an abortion to hide the illegal sexual relationship from her parents and police. Many clinic workers told the caller they were legally mandated to report it to the state, but 91 percent of the 800 facilities agreed to illegally conceal it.

In fact, workers routinely instructed a child who they believed to be a statutory rape victim to lie about or conceal her age or the age of the man who impregnated her; engage in illegal actions to circumvent the state's parental notification law; use a fictitious name, phone number or address; hide the situation by altering what she would say when she came to the facility; and be more careful about what information she gave out and to whom.

In one recent case, a New London, Conn., man was indicted in the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. A police investigation later revealed that the child was taken to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Norwich for abortions three times in six months, from April-September 2006.

Life Dynamics President Mark Crutcher said, "Our investigation proved that rapists who target underage girls have no better ally than Planned Parenthood. If these people in Norwich had any sense of decency, or any concern for this child, they would have reported this situation to the authorities the first time they saw her. Of course, that would have cost them the profit from the next two abortions."

The first is once saved always saved. If God is loving and I choose to disregard Him then He will not allow me to turn from Him. The other is pre-destination, my view is that God already knows who will be saved, so it comes as know surprise to Him. But some people say that if you are chosen(pre-destined), then you will be saved no matter what you do.What about freewill? I feel Jesus died for all as long as they accept Him, not just a select few.

Freewill is the most difficult of God's gifts to understand or appreciate. The person who gives up selfish freedom and agrees to be God's servant will always be truly free.

but then turned around and punished them when they weren't smart enough to NOT eat the fruit?

Why did he want them to remain stupid? And why did he put that darn tree there in the first place?
And why was Eve punished when it was really Satan who tricked her? She was naive and innocent and yet God punished her.

Does he not sound like a cruel God?

If you had a young daughter, would you leave her in a room with chocolate cake, tell her it would give her super powers, then tell her not to eat it, then have someone come in and tell her it's OK to eat it so she does, then punish her?

They're are no black atheists? I'm a black atheist, and find it easier to deal with Christians that are not black. In fact, religious black people are the worse when it comes to dealing with an atheist. They claim atheist are hostile, yet they're the ones saying "You going to Hell!" and "Yo mama didn't raise you right!", and the most annoying - "You've been listenin' to somebody else!". Maybe I'm a critical thinker! Sure, I agree with some of things Christianity says, (you shouldn't steal, you shouldn't kill) but those are social aspects to me, I don't believe in the miracles or the idea of their "God". Why can't black people see that Christianity was enforced upon us centuries ago during slavery, and that I don't want to follow that tradition?

we have science on our side, math, histroy, Logic, Physics and truth. if truth is what This God is all about then would it not mean WE are in the right? then with Logic there is no God. and with histroy christians are evil (jones town, Library of Al, Crusades, Salam, Bush! Comets ETC.!) and why are you doing what People in the Bronze Age say to do? they would still think a Match was sent from god at this Point. Math tells us there is no God, we live in a universe of math and physicis, where a atom acts like it should, not all willie nillie when a christian wants it too. Ie. (they can't make gold out lead.) don't get me wrong i do beive science will beat GOD at this one too in time. their only recourse is something like, Its gods will. why is it that Most christians are Broke? why is God so bad with money? (i know this one:) Where is the Land of Nod? and if they are not with God can i get a ticket there so i can live in peace? your right, your at war, With Logic, Truth, and Science.

The "New Testament": Pagan revenge

Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.

Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.

The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.

To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).

Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.
