most people don't know in advance the exact time they're actually going to die, and many people aren't in a condition in which they can comprehend that they're about to die.

i understand the sin all you want, god will forgive if you repent, but i'm sure a huge majority of christians didn't get their last repent in before death. to cover your butt, you'd have to be repenting immediately after each sin, and even that would imply that you knew what you were doing was wrong and you did it anyway, knowing that you could just repent it all away after, which isn't very christian now, is it.

what's the point? the chances of anyone getting to heaven (if it existed) are so remotely slim and yet you spend your whole life living in fear of not getting there.

atheists don't have these huge issues weighing them down.

p.s. i'm not atheist - or christian

In the bible In Acts I believe, Jesus' four brothers are mentioned...
James
Philip
Thomas
Bartholomew

Is there any more information about these brothers somewhere else in the Bible? And is the James that is his brother the same James that has book in the bible?

How many of KNEW Jesus had brothers?

Being that these brothers were at least HALF brothers to Jesus, right? Then would they not have shared the similar DNA, and what about the children of these brothers? Was Jesus an uncle? Would that not be important in history? The nieces and nephews of Jesus Christ? Is this information somewhere that can be accessed?

I guess I was happy not existing before I was born. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to explain it.

...discussing your god to people who believe in a different god? certainly, there are other belief systems who might find your belief evil and worthy of their god's punishment to hell. how do you argue using pascal's wager then? if they're wrong they go to your hell, but if you're wrong you go to their hell.

Definiton: A square is an equiangular, equilateral construct consisting of four line segments and their terminating points, such that they construct an Euler circuit, and all meet at right angles.

S = Set of all polygons.
X = Polygons with 3 sides
Y = Polygons with 4 sides.
X is disjoint Y, both of which are subsets of S.

There does not exist a three sided square.

Suppose not (proof by contradiction):

Suppse there exists a square with three sides.

S = Set of all polygons.
X = Polygons with 3 sides
Y = Polygons with 4 sides.
X is disjoint Y, both of which are subsets of S.

Such a square is in in set X, as a three sided polygon.
Since a square by definition has four sides, it is in set Y.
Thus, a three sided square is in both set X and set Y.

This is a contradiction. Since X and Y are disjoint, no element can be held in common.

Therefore, the supposition is false. There are no three sided squares.

Does anyone really believe they are christians and that the bible is actually really there? Never mind whether or not the stuff in it is supposed to be true, but is there really a such thing as 'the bible'? I used to think there was, but somehow they seem to vanish into the ashes of my fireplace whenever I think I have one. So, the question is, if the only evidence of a bible's existence is the ashes left in the fireplace, then was the bible ever really there?

I do not want to start a fight!

However, that is a reality!

99% WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THIS NOW BUT YOU WILL LATER!

I know many people will say no "just for now" then you'll see

God has a purpose for everyone and I know there are atheists in this forum that will accept Jesus Sacrifice.

is not because I said so! the bible declares it!

Which is the more environmentally friendly option: Cremation or Burial?
By burial I refer not to anything elaborate but more so to being dumped coffin-less into the ground and have dirt thrown on you?

It seems to me that all cremation would result in would be that you would be turned into pollution (combustion of carbon, for one thing) and allergen causing particles. Burial, on the other hand, would give bacteria, worms, and fungi a chance to thrive as well as promote the life of a tree or something.

So which is the more environmentally friendly, a "paupers burial", or cremation?

I've been on tonnes of sites and even read a few books and stuff based on it and all i can find to contact my guides is that i have to meditate regularly. I have tried this but i find it hard to meditate, does anyone know of any easier way to get in contact with them?
I also heard that they can hear your thoughts all the time, does this mean they can hear what you say as well?

Atheist~
"NOUN: One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods."

And Atheist can still have a religion and be spiritual, though most don't, it is not like in an Atheist handbook that you can't believe in angels or something.
The only requirement to be considered an Atheist is that you connot believe that there is a God(s)

What are your thoughts?

In ancient times, european missionaries were sent to Latin America to spread the word of Christ, right???

Well, isn't the 'golden rule' to treat others the way you want to be treated? Well, Chistians probably wouldn't want to be forced to believe in Aztec gods would they? Then why would they force Aztecs and Incans to believe in their/our God?

God doesn't believe in atheists. Can you prove that atheists exist? Just because someone says that they are an atheist doesn't make it true any more than if someone told you that they were Elvis Presley come back to life. If it is impossible to prove that atheists exist, they must not really exist. That means that there is a universal consensus in the belief in God.
