At last god works nowhere, except saving oursheves with humanity. The community of relegion will shrink to give way to us the real humans for all life on earth, not for your fiction puppet of god. Remember science is protested much by the Christans, they claimed the earth flat, they ever reject science to dig into the instance of existance. But how they enjoy every discover from science and this make them ungratitude and blatant than ever. Just thinking the pope say earth flat, i very disgust this.

Let me preface this by saying that I do not intend this as a generalization for all theists, only those who lash out against non-believers, and complain about their beliefs not having influence in government.

Non-theists:
Started this country (America), on a foundation of freedom and a religiously neutral government.
Discovered electricity. (Ben Franklin) Harnessed electricity. (Thomas Edison)
Developed countless medical and technological advances, making them largely responsible for your every modern convenience, and the fact that you can live to be older than 40.

Yet you demand that the government and its laws should reflect YOUR beliefs and opinions, over anyone else’s. That your God belongs on the country’s money, and in the country’s pledge. (cont'd...)

As in Islam is bad.

Personally I don't think that Islam is bad. I just think that it's an unfortunate coincidence in English.

How could have God created the day and the night, before even creating the sun and the moon?

Getting even deeper how did he created plants and the trees before creating the sun, if they obviously need the of it to live.

By the way I do believe in God i just don't understand how can you take Genesis literally if it doesn't even makes any sense.

Most of us are taught that Evolution is the only "scientific" answer to all our fundamental questions, making us doubt the Bible. Thousands of us in recent years have discovered there's a whole movement of Christian creationist scientists working to show that the Bible is true after all. Where did you first figure out that the Bible is not a bunch of fairy tales but is the true history of the world?

For me, first I heard a seminar by Brian Young. Then I started reading Creation magazine (now called Answers). Then I started helping Dr.Lang with the Genesis Institute. What about all of you?

I'm guessing it's the thought of a 50 ton T-rex on a boat, along with a whole bunch of other adult dinosaurs crammed into every corner of the Ark.

And if Noah had to take full-size T-rexs and other full size dinosaurs, obviously there wouldn't have been enough room. So I'm guessing atheists think this is funny because they think it disproves the Bible. But of course there is an easy way to resolve this apparent difficulty - Noah must have taken younger, smaller dinosaurs, baby dinosaurs.

Lots of room on the ark then.

Not so funny though (although it is kind of amusing how silly this atheist objection turns out to be).

Or is there another reason atheists seem to love to bring up dinosaurs and Noah's ark?

In fairness to the Nazis, they didn't committ as many genocides with as many murders as the Muslims (see Arab Muslim Invasions of India - greatest genocide in human history).

Also, Nazis did accept and respect some minute aspects of other cultures and even participated in the Olympics, where Muslims for the most part, reject all non-islamic culture and, despite numbering in the billions, almost entirely reject the Olmpics and the intra-continental commoradery it engenders.

That said, the parallels are astounding. Both cultures believe in totalitarian control and the superiority of their kind (see Dhimminitude and compare to the Arian myth).

Also, the intolerance of the Nazis and Muslims are absolutely the same. I suppose its no coincidence that Muslim SS troops were some of the last to fight for Hitler (google it).

To the people saying that "Christmas shouldnt be celebrated," cant be found in the Bible, read Jeremiah 10:1-10:5.
If that doesnt explain it to you, I dont know what will.

words about charity:

"You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." (Mark 10:21)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)

I just wanted to know if there are Christians or Christian sects that belive in One God and Jesus as a Messenger without trinity as taught by Jesus Christ and was the teaching of all other prophets which was worshipping One God.

As a Christian I know how I came to know the LOrd, and I was curious as to what made you atheists believe that there is absolutely no God. Did you "de-cobvert from an existing organised religion? Were you raised atheist? Did you come to the conclusion based on observations? What?

Please note that I am being serious here, this is not meant as a joke. I just wondered about it.

When the scientists use the standard evolutionary based radiometric dating methods to determine the age of things why is it always "hundreds of millions of years old?"

Why then when Mt. St Helens erupted in 1980, it took 5 months for a lava dome to form. When the radiometric tests were taken from that 5 month old lava cap, they concluded it was millions of years old. They couldn't pinpoint an exact date but could only give an estimate. Keep in mind, the cap was only 5 months old.

Evolution teaches that mountains, rivers, etc take thousands of years to form and that no single event could rewrite a map.

What about the Tsunami? Islands were moved over 10 meters, the earth began a slight wobble on its axis???


Please enlighten me.

I was watching something on tv tonight, this talk show, and this lady was arguing how being gay is a sin, it's in the bible. Does anyone know where in the bible is talks about being gay is a sin? However, I have my own opinions sure, but does it not also say in the bible we should not judge others, that only God can judge? So, I wish I could've used her tactic against her but.... Anyways, I've been looking everywhere, and I can't find it anywhere, someone please tell me where I can find this issue in the bible? Thanks so much!

Often atheists and believers argue over the reality of God each side sticking to its own level of awareness and believing that the other is wrong But God is neither a thing nor a person to be argued God is an experience that can be felt only in a certain state of mind It is a feeling of bondless freedom, limitless vastness, unbroken time that is always in the present For gaining this experience, the analytical mind is an obstruction, individuality a limitation, and intellectual arguments only a source of confusion.The ultimate reality is beyond description. One can only feel it within oneself when ego is detached from the self Those who have experienced are convinced beyond doubt It is futile to argue on grounds of rationality and analytic thought Personalisation of God is a convenience devised to heighten the emotional connection to enable the experience at the level of feelings Intellect gives information but intuitive experience has significance of its own, no point mixing the two.

but finds no fault in Mormons, scientologists, Lutherans, Baptists, Catholics ect? It seems there are a lot of questions on here focusing on hate for the JW's but no one examining their own religion.

Mormons~ Have a second "bible" written by a man named Joseph Smith who was a "prophet" and they follow what he says in that book

Catholics~ Pray to Mary and "saints" which is never referenced in the Bible

and so on........ It seems to me that people are hating a religion who's people are the most peaceful, who preach the good news of salvation, who study the Bible on a regular basis ( we go 4 days a week), I have heard a lot of people say its because we have our own Bible.....EVERY religion does! I have a Lutheran, Catholic AND JW Bible....Please I would like to know honest opinions from honest people...and please do not judge because we dont celebrate holidays....trust me, I dont miss them and neither do the kids!!!
