Why do atheists always flame and push their beliefs on Christians? I'm completely open in this question, and am honestly curious as to why atheists feel the need to push their opinions on Christians. I'll just put it out there, I'm a Christian and pretty much everyone I know is Christian, too. My friends and family and I have never forced our beliefs on anyone, brought them up when they were irrelevant to the topic, or criticized anyone who disagreed with them; and I feel like I'm always having to defend what I believe to people who just have different opinions than me. Because I respect religious differences, I think it's rude that atheists criticize people for their faith. Are there some pushy, in-your-face Christians out there that make you feel like you need to do it back? I want honest, thoughtful, intelligent answers. No flaming and be respectful and courteous in your answers, please.

Okay, I am a Christian and I do not believe in reincarnation. I have a friend who has been battling cancer for many years. Her doctors just told her that she probably only has three more years to live tops. My concern is that she is Lutheran and she says that in her religion she knows that she will be coming back to do this all over again. Now, I am Baptist and that is not our belief. I know as a believer in the Lord that reincarnation is not a possibility. But I do not know how to talk to her in a loving and supporting manner and get her to see the truth. I am worried about her salvation. I would like answers and opinions from Christians and non alike. Please, if you are not a believer of Christ, do not be mean. This is a very touchy subject for me as I care deeply for my friend!! If you cannot answer without being unbiased, please move on.

This is a serious question. As I understand evolution, life started out as single cell organisms that reproduced by splitting itself. It seems that for sex to evolve, one of these organisms had to mutate male genitalia. And even though life has been on Earth for millions of years, at the same point in time, and at the same place on Earth, another organism had to mutate female genitalia. And they had to meet and know what to do with their mutations. And they also had to mutate the working parts to produce sperm and eggs at the same time they mutated genitalia. The female also had to at the same time that she mutated genitalia and eggs, also had to mutate a womb and mammaries to feed the child. And assuming that all this happened, it seems that "survival of the fittest" would tell the couple to kill the kid because he's slowing them down and taking their food. It just doesn't seem plausible. Does anyone have serious answers to this question? Thank you in advance.

in 20 years, when you (or a loved one) desperately need a procedure that could help them walk again, or even save their life, will you use that procedure?
Or will you refuse because it came about through stem cell research?

Yesterday someone posed the question of why it took Richard Dawkins 350 pages to prove the non-existence of god. In my answer, I said basically that I could completely defeat any claim the theists make with just two words:

Says you.

You claim there's a hell where sinners and non-believers will be tortured forever?

Says you.

Faith in the sacrifice of Jesus will earn you eternal life in heaven?

Says you.

Your bible is divinely inspired -- regular mortals were just taking dictation directly from God?

Says you.

With no first-hand accounts, no empirical, objective proof, it's all any of their arguments ever amounts to.

Says you.

I'm curious about what other short, to-the-point refutations (preferably just one or two sentences) other atheists use when dealing with theists. And to be fair to the theists: can you offer an equally succinct proof for your side of the argument, if your god is as omnipresent and obvious as you claim?

Does this seem like a good trade-off to you?

I don't think so.....totally wrong to kill an innocent life inside the mother's womb.

What do you think,,
In many cases it seems to me that there can be negative undertones to the act of hypnosis. be it spiritual or whatever.

Do you have a spiritual or biblical perspective of whats behind this practice?

Something tells me, many types (not necessarily all types) but many types of hypnosis are unhealthy to the partaker.

i affirm that some types may be helpful, but i want to peer a little deeper to see what is really going on.

Thanks

Is there such an evil thing? or a good thing?
Or an evil thing is sometimes the good thing to be done? Or perhaps good thing is a bad thing done in the aftermath of it?
Is there a common standard for doing things? Or it always depend on the circumstances for a thing to be considered an evil deed?
What can you say about this?

When you have a new account you only get to ask 5 questions. Well guess what I do nto have to wait to get to 250 ponits to go to level 2 becasue I have 2 yahoo accounts where I can ask five each. And when I get to leve 2 for both I will have 20 quesions to ask. So don't you think it is unfair that you do not get to ask as many questions as you want?
