As an atheist, I had no love interests, lived in crappy, cramped apartments, bounced from job to job, and drove 10 year old cars on their last legs. Since becoming a Christian, I've gotten married, had two kids, lived in a house for 8 years, held a steady job for 8 years, and moved up to a shiny 2003 Blazer. How can I doubt that God has blessed me with these things? Why would I want to give that up? Because of some false idea that being religious makes me intolerant, hateful narrow-minded and/or anti-intellectual?

I had one lady tell me she managed it on her own after getting straight As in her High School Biology.

I'm wondering how many other "christian" geniuses we have amongst us who can, by turning to the bible, debunk over a century of research into evolution.

I know many of you, as well as myself, used to be Christian. I am no Atheist. Was there a significant event(s) that happened in your life that led you to believe that there was no god, and certainly not one that cared about you?

There was for me. I remember when I was 16, sitting alone in my bedroom, crying my eyes out, begging God to take away all the emotional pain and anguish in my life. I couldn't understand how I could have been "blessed" with all the sadness and depression and I just wanted it to go away. Now, 8 years later, nothing's changed. If there was a god, why was I and still now suffering this torment.

What's your story?

After reading the definition of Terrorism, I realized that it is in fact

Terrorism:

As a form of unconventional warfare, terrorism is sometimes used when attempting to force political change by: convincing a government or population to agree to demands to avoid future harm or fear of harm, destabilization of an existing government, motivating a disgruntled population to join an uprising, escalating a conflict in the hopes of disrupting the status quo, expressing a grievance, or drawing attention to a cause.

Okay, the US is trying to convince Iraq’s civilians to come to their side rather than Saddams former beliefs/side-unconventional warfare. Early in the war a plane dropped off anti-Saddam propaganda telling of how he was living in wealth while they were suffering. They are trying to change their beliefs, practices, and politics to that of democracy. Those that do not abide or uprise are killed or imprisoned. The Iraq residents are disgruntled and the US is trying to convince them to turn to their side and to leave behind their Muslim religious beliefs. Muslim women are supposed to be subservient to their husbands and men, where head coverings, etc. The US is trying to convince them to have equal rights for females, etc. Much of the Iraq people don’t want us over there which gives them just cause to further attack us even over here in American soil. We are imposing our politics and religious beliefs on their country, and they in fact did NOT attack us. People forget that Bin Laden attacked us from Iran. We found no Weapons of Mass Destructions and the Iraq people are NOT being freed but rather imprisoned by US military presence and politics. We have no right to be over there. But if we leave now, they will be in greater chaos than with Saddam.

What do you think?

A new pew poll of American Muslims found that 26% believe that suicide bombings against civilians are acceptable to defend Islam from its "enemies". Also the poll found that only 40% of American Muslims believe that Arabs were really responsible for 9/11 and about half of Muslims identified themselves as Muslims and do not consider themselves Americans.

What can we do to change this? Should we give them something? Should we start a taxpayer funded program to build more mosques to prove our appreciation for all they have given America? There has to be some way we can turn this around.

become ecstatic when you here of new diseases hitting the human race such as AIDS. You must be the only group of people on Earth who would NOT welcome a cure because you need something to justify your rantings about Armageddon.

Was he not a Catholic? He truly beleived tht his people and Nazi party were "the sons of light". Is it possible that he had good intentions but was misdirected and now as the loser of a war history paints him as a villian? I mean he loved children and animals so he couldn't be all bad. Maybe he has been spared Hell after all?

I was just wondering where in the Bible does it discuss abortion, and it being a sin. I think it might be because "thou shall not murder" might pertain to killing a fetus, but I am not sure. Bible verses would be great, thank you.

because I refuse to join their churches....So if I joined a mormon church, I'd go to their heaven...if I joined a lutheran (christian church) and accepted jesus I'd be saved.....So why not be a good person and do the right things in life? Or would it be "Safer" to join every church to make sure that you'll be saved no matter what?? I watch what is being said on Yahoo in the religious section and it is always so horrible to read.....what good is it to fight and preach to each other? Is anything getting accomplished? The only thing that is getting accomplished is we are all becoming less loving and less understanding to each other. I am not trying to choose a religion because none of them suit me.

and main champion to the cause?

The strong denial of their being any truth to the DiVinci code and how I've seen Christians batten down the hatches declaring their faith stronger than ever is what brings this question on.

How does this idea weaken your faith? Or does it add to it?

Why do Christian tell me that we are under a New Convenat. That Gods word in the old Testament is no more and we are under a new one (which the old testiment is over 60 percent of the bible). Why do Christian say we have no more laws and we don't have to follow the Ten Commandments and we can eat what ever we want? Where does it say that in the Bible?

when THEY are the ones claiming that these people will burn in hell for eternity?

Honestly, it seems more mean or unkind (to me at least) to verbally and menatlly damn someone to a place of eternal torture rather than simply say "You are wrong, and here is why." The only consequence for christians being wrong is them looking like idiots and brainwashing other people to think like them and look like idiots also. The consequence for nonchristians being wrong is much more severe.

Again I ask, who is being mean here?

...and don't even give me that redirection of the blame to God crap. I asked earlier if Christians believed that the unsaved deserved to go to hell. The majority of them said YES. So hiding behind your god won't save you from this one.

Why call me mean if you are much MUCH meaner?
