Doesn't it seem like people have been searching for "god" forever? When will the hunt over?

Don't you think we can draw a reasonable conclusion after all of our fruitless efforts...? Sincerely, when is enough, enough?

I understand it. I think most Atheists do, as most of them use science as one of their most prominent sources of knowledge about the world.

But, we keep seeing misrepresentations when it is explained by believers.

Therefore, I would like to see some posts (especially by believers), not trying to refute the theory, but *defining* the theory. As in, "when biologists talk about evolution, what are they referring to?" Please include any and all mechanistic explanations of the various steps that you are aware of.

I'm sure many believers understand the theory. They just don't seem to post against their fellows who are misrepresenting the theory; to not speak up is to support a straw man attack.

May I please have all your stuff?
You won't be needing it. I can wait until after the 2012 date that so many claim is the end. We can draw up legal documents that officially make your stuff mine after that date.
Anyone?

the fact that if we were not created, how we all came about, and that the chances of everything that is know to us "evolved monkeys" happening in precise sequence is about the same chances of a well binded dictionary being preduced through a printer shop explosion (please this question is open to both atheist and different religions, but dont come here to mock either) Hopefully we can get along!!!=>

eve is a clone of adam, god took a rib from adam, and made it eve, therefore, adam and eve committed serious incest when they had sex together,

if you think that you are a son or daughter of adam and eve, then you are officially a bastard according to the law; even that, that doesn't make sense why different christians have different skin colors

"both read Bible day and night thou see's black whereas I see white"
it could refer to any holy book or even a commentary on a book. Two people read but come to diff conclution
So how will you know you've understood properly.
for example-
One day you thought an answer was good and logical and you accpted it but the next day a better answer came so you changed your idea
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR INTERPETATION IS BONAFIDE????????????
This question is for ALL people

I doesn't appear like anyone can find "god".... The faithful keep asking "where he is...."

"Have you seen him....?"
"Have you received him...?"
"Have you met him....?"

It's a great game of Hide-and-Seek that started with the Jews and hasn't ended yet. A grand snipe hunt.

What do you think...?

I am seriously trying to understand:
Atheists call some conservative Christians "fundies", implying that they are close minded, etc...
However - some Atheists honestly and sincerely state their thoughts such as "when I die I will be food for worms" or "I stopped believing in imaginary friends when I was 7"

Would these statements not also reveal a certain amount of close mindedness?

In addition, I am trying to understand where one's hope lies if the assumption is that we are indeed "food for worms".

thank you

Why blame god for all that is wrong in the world? We say, why cant god stop world hunger, why cant god stop war? Do you all realize that its up to us? Do you realize if every check we gave 20 dollars instead of spending it on drugs, make up, clothes, and other things that we don’t really need, we could solve hunger . God wants up to take care of each other. Why blame god for not stopping the war, when he cant. God gave us free will, he cant control us, its up to us, and only us.

In order for man to comprehend God’s infinite nature, he must allow God to descend into the mental world, thereby decreasing the infinite power into a perceptible finite form. The purpose of this is to engulf the man’s mind in ecstatic blissful union with the source that gave him life. Through repeated practice the man learns to comprehend his infinite nature and recognize his divine place in the universe.
Man is happy with his world so long as he is happy with his soul.

In America they are not allowed to serve openly in the military and are not allowed to marry (except in one state). They are openly and repeatedly persecuted by religious majorities, their existence and freedom blamed for all manner of ills in America.

Shouldn't Canada, which permits gay marriage and protects homosexuals from hate-based attacks, grant refugee status to any gay seeking to escape persecution in America or any other country where gays are persecuted?
