Atheists obviously don't believe that God or any other supernatural being exists. To atheists, once we die, there is nothing after that. So, nothing we do in this world matters because there will be no consequences or anyone to answer to after you're dead.

If that is all true, then why do some atheists care about what Christians believe? We all will meet the same fate in the end. Therefore, we can live our lives in any way we want to live them.

So, why are there so many trying to prove that God does not exist, that the Bible is full of flaws, that what Christianity says is false? Why can't we believe what we want if we will all meet the same fate? I get tired of reading websites that are trying to prove errors in the Bible, continuously telling us to stop believing in God, and trying to make other people atheists. I know that some Christians try to prove their version of things, but they at least have a reason to prove them.

So, what's the reason behind what atheists do?

Someone else has to be asking themself this question too, so I thought I'd just throw that out there.

What exactly is wrong with the practice of polygamy? or polyandry? i mean... personally i don't think it would lend itself to a stable relationship, but if three people (or more) can make it work, why not let them try? what's the big deal?

i realize that religion plays a large part in this debate, which is why this is in this section.

What are your thoughts and belief about the head of the Roman Catholic Church?

Catholics say the opposite of faith is fear. And I think having faith is actually both ignorant and an attempt to run away from reality.

And if Christianity is a religion of love and peace, how come Christian countries are very violent and have the highest crime rates??

One thing that differs facts from opinions is statistics. Statistics don't lie. Statistics have revealed that most Islamic countries are safer than most European countries. America is far more violent than Europe, and therefore is way more violent than most Islamic countries. Even in the Christian third world countries the crime is very great; in fact, it is the highest in the whole world.

Please do not try to cite Iraq and Afghanistan for being violent, they were not like that until the Americans entered there and put the ruling regimes (which kept these countries very very safe) upside down.

Americans! Have you not known that your capital city is one of the most violent places on earth? Yet it is still no match for Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans,.....etc???!!!!!!!

Is this the peace and love that Jesus taught you?!!

I have gone mostly to churches that are old buildings, or even houses converted into a place for people to gather. Why is it that a lot of churches, and mostly Catholic ones are HUGE ornate, expensive works of architecture?
I think they are lovely looking, but how do they pay for them? and wouldn't that money be better spent on helping those less fortunate?

I shouldn't need to clarify, but has there been anything prophecized in the Bible which then came true, and is recorded as fact by an outside source?

The less vague the better.

Me:My faith is with God;becuase I know God will always be greater and more powerful than any amount of science people can come up with.

Yes, I get it being gay is an abomination blah blah blah, but do you love gay people, because when I put an answer saying that "Christians love gay people" I got only thumbs down, which led me to believe that maybe Christians actually don't love everyone like they preach.

So what is it, do you love gay people............you don't have to like what they do.....but do you love them?

Asked whether human life is a result of God's creation or evolution over millions of years, a majority of Americans said both are probable explanations.

Overall, more Americans expressed a strong belief in creationism, or the theory that God created humans in their present form at a single period in time within the last 10 000 years.

How can we be for certain that what is written is true? I am trying to find god...this time for myself. I grew up in a religion but I guess I never accepted it as my own...I feel that because there are so many many religions out there, It is impossible to "try" them all. Should I even take religion seriously at all? Was religion "created" to separate classes of people? I would appreciate others opinions on this.

If God created all things then evil must have come from him as well which would mean he is not all good. If evil came from elsewhere then God did not create all things.

If a choice is allegedly given by a deity, but information is deliberately withheld by said deity, how can that choice be construed as "Free Will?"

If said deity is omniscient, said deity will, of course, know the level of information required for any entity to make a decision regarding this alleged choice, and in choosing what not to reveal is, indeed, making the decision for the person, thus contrary to the concept of "Free Will."

I’d contend, to clarify, that with the deliberate withholding of information by a deity there is a complete absence of free will. If a god expects you to make choices but withholds data, said god, not you, is making the choices....and an omniscient god *knows* this.
