you get from Christians?
Atheists tend to be reasonably consistent, whereas each Christian will give you a different interpretation of whats "true". How can all these people claim to be Christian when they have contradictory answers to basic questions? Logically, only a tiny percentage of them could be correct.

When asked a question about scientific discoveries, a person stated,
"No, and I hope it never happens. I like to believe in certain things without seeing."

Are there many people who are this afraid of the truth or is this a unique response?

Galations 5

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[c] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,[d] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.


Now seeing as a lawyer earns money whilever he "practices" law. Are thos Christians who are practicing these sins above in danger of the hellfire?

would the world be a better place if the two main faiths were dynamic desriptive philosophies rather than static prescriptive religions?

seriously, i can't imagine that god doesn't have anything more important to do than worry about who's sleeping with whom, which gender they are, or if you have a little piece of paper from a minister called a marriage certificate before you do sleep with someone. what's the big deal?

A human might determine that God is All Good, might not God create Satan for All Evil?

As a child of the 60s, I know EVERY generation rebels against the one before. The more repressed, the more violent the rebellion.

Now of course as a parent you want to protect your child from the evils of the world and pass on your values, ethics and traditions. But among "certain" groups there seems to be a fearful, desperation and isolation about it all. I am talking about the Jesus Camp people and those who home-school not to fix academic gaps but because they do not want their kids mixing with anyone or learning ANYTHING different.

Curiosity, doubt and a hunger to experience life are overwhelming urges and that is why those measures can only work for so long. Eventually, kids begin to understand that the world is far more complex and WILL ask “Why did you keep me ignorant in order to keep me obedient? What ARE you so afraid of?"

Isn't it going to create MORE atheists in the long run? Or when they rebel they might rebel against GOOD things as well as the bad?

I am listening to the Presidents speech. He just said if we got out of Iraq it would increase sectarianism and influence of Iran and Al-qeada.

If Iran (shiite theocracy) and al - Qeada (sunni theocracy) fill the void and battle after we exit, isnt that what the USA should want?

Our archenemy for over 30 years Iran vs our neo-archenemy going to war against each other?

That goes for Atheists and Christians alike. Why waste your energy on people who wont change their views anyways?

I mean, i personally don't give a dam what negative comment any one of you says about what i choose to believe.

Before you go on, remember that Christianity is a 'lifestyle'. It is not relegated to the boundries of Religious practices. It is the founded and structured via the Word of God.
We are above these vicious attacks of this site. The questions lack no substance, and their only purpose is to stir your emotions with the intent of forcing you to verbalize your strongest opinions without the ingredient of Love. By doing so, it's easy to come off sounding judgmental and double-minded. This counts as a mark to the enemies side of the board.
I ask that we refrain from speaking on Emotion. I've been on the site for a while (including the off season), and I've realized a couple of things:

1.Atheist read the Bible (they just don't believe the Word).
2.The devil always uses God's word as a weapon to test your knowledge. (ref. Adam, Eve, Jesus)
3.If they can't prove you wrong, they'll pick a fight (ref."playground rules")

Now, knowing this, don't judge them. Pity them.

God bless.

that science will be able to answer all our questions if we give our scientists enough time? Reason I ask, I like science a lot, but will be the first to admit that the latent outcome of scientific discovery is that every answer breeds multiple new questions, so essentially the more we learn, the more we find we have yet to discover.

As a christian I enjoy drinking, I don't get drunk but I talk to people in my church about it and you would think I was the devil himself. I'm curious what other christian's opinions of alcohol are.

I believe in God, and Jesus and want to live my life for them.
I just can not seem to totally release myself to do this. I feel like I am failing, and then I become discouraged.
I want a fulfilling life with God, but I feel like I can never maintain it.

Has anyone felt like this?

Please I do not want answers that suggest that I don't need God etc...I am looking to get closer to Him, I have no intentions of denying Him.

One of the arguments that christians use against evolution is that something cannot come from nothing.
Where did god get the materials to create the universe?
By their own argument,he can't have got them from nothing.
Have they always existed?
If so,then that defeats their own argument.
Or did god somehow create them from nothing,which according to them is impossible.

Paradise: the year is 1954 and I am 18 and she is 19 and a redhead with long legs and a kiss-me smile. We are walking hand-in-hand around Washington Square Park on a coolish fall afternoon. We stop to put a quarter (a lot of money then) in a street musician's can. I look over at her, and she smiles. "I love you," she says. Not long after that we marry and then our son is born. Paradise on earth. (She died in 2003).

Where do you think Consciousness and Mind comes from? It's intangible and can't be replicated or recreated by science. What's your take? Wouldn't this indicate that there are other intangible realities that can't be answered by science out there?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I just received the above question as an answer to my last question. And it made me wonder.

First, a little story. I'm an atheist, my girlfriend is a Christian. When I first came to this R&S section, it was to learn more about her religion. She read along with me, and many of the bad Christian answers made her doubt her faith. Really, deeply doubt her faith. I hated that, and did everything I could to make sure she remained a Christian, because I know that believing in a god makes her happy. Luckily she decided she didn't have to leave her faith.

But then again, maybe I'm a weird atheist, but I doubt it. Would you, as an atheist be very disappointed if your child or spouse chose to be a Christian?
