Reality: Everyone including atheists know the Christian god, God is real. We know he is real since we call him God with a capital "G" -- that proves it right there. The more than 2,500 accounted for "gods" are all made up to attempt to draw Christians away from the one True god, God. All these non-Christians hate Christians, as well as God.

What if every church were permanently converted into homeless shelters?

What if every religion had to liquidate its assets, land, jewerly, from the golden buddhas to the pope's hat? What if that money were spent on economic development in the third world?

What if people got together every sunday to collect money for schools and pick up litter?

What if the time spent praying was spent saying something nice to a stranger?

What if religious hatred disappeared forever?

What if terrorists suddenly realized that being a "martyr" didn't get you into paradise.

What if people stopped looking for answers in one old book and wrote a thousand new ones?

What if?

I have Severe Canal Stenosis, Also a Herniated disk in the back of my neck. Dr’s want to do surgery replacing some washer type thingys and put in a metal plate in. It will not cure the Stenosis. They said the only thing it will do is, it might help in case I fall or get hit by a car from the rear to keep me from going paralyzed from neck down or dying. I was supposed to have surgery on June 8th but I cancelled.
I am a Christian and I believe God will heal me. He did, He can, and I believe He will! However everyone I talk to says I should have the surgery that God uses Dr.s too. When I read the Bible… I read in James to not waver in my faith. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. NOTHING WAVERING!!!I ...

Take any other old document, and you will have teams of scientists deciphering it and decoding it's relevance to the society during the time in which it was written.

But not the Bible apparently. We are to take it's modern revised form as Gospel (pardon my pun). How foolish can people be?

The Bible was written from an ancient Hebrew prespective by various individuals of duboius scholarship.

"Divinely inspired"? Puh-leeze! Get a grip. Some really old Jews wrote some cool stuff, let's not get worked up over it, ok?

If there is one single thing that I can get from believing in god(s) that I can't get anywhere else, then please point it out.

If it is such an important place, why was it not mentioned in ANY "inspired" scripture except the Quran? Do Islamic scholars insist it is because there is some kind of anti-Mohammadean cover-up conspiracy?

What a shame if it is true that Abraham DID cross 1000 km of desert to build a holy altar with his son Ishmael, and then Arabs turned it into a shopping mall for idolatry.

The only mention of Abraham's presence deep in the Arabian desert came more than 2000 years after Abraham even lived...in a book containing the recorded words of an Arabic salesman who married a rich widow who had Arabic "Christian" relatives.

Even the Qur'an says that it is a BOOK (before it was composed as a book) which is given in Arabic, so that Arabs can understand God's word.

Does it seem improbable that the story of Abraham building the Kabba might be concocted to shift attention away from Israel and bring it closer to the story teller's home in a way that his people would easily accept?

I believe in God just not the bible. I think people get caught up in the idea that if you believe in god you must believe in the bible and Jesus.

Christian comes into an atheists home and begins to pray at the dinner table. What do you say to make them stop?

They are not respecting me or my home.

luke 6:27
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you...But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back."

If this is how we are supposed to live, then why does God punish those who don't "love" Him? Doesn't this seem hypocritical?

Leviticus 20:9
If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.

20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

Exodus 35:2
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death.

Exodus 21:20-21 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. (slavery is ok? :/ even our own government admitted this to be wrong)

Deuteronomy 14:6-7
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit, or the coney.

Interesting? yes.

Someone said that not everyone cares about science. Well, guess what? Not everyone cares about religious mumbo-jumbo! If you religious nuts will agree to stay out of the science classrooms, maybe we science enthusiasts will back off from the religious forums. Do we have a deal?

Lately i've been fearing to sin. And we should be. It's like these days we take sins too lightly. In the old days, we had to see animal sacrafices in place for our sins. We had to see the butchering of flawless animals, and stuff. Have people been desentisized by sin? I'm not Hebrew either. Maybe i'm also worried about being ensnared by demons.

People here insist that we don't pawn off theories as facts. Well, what is a fact? We can't know anything with 100% certainty. Is the theory of relativity not a fact? If so, then what criterion makes something a fact?

A) Humans
B) "God"
C) Suffering

According to ignorant religious people, "God" created humans. Humans created suffering. So "God" created suffering? That wouldn't make sense since your "God" is supposed to be against evil right?

Embrace Atheism. If nobody believed in "God" and there was no such thing as religion, imagine how better the world would be...

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
