If I say I am an atheist people get the idea I am some kind of wierdo? why? I am freethinking and stepping outside the box. I must base my ideas on the evidence presented and not something force upon me. Atheist in america are being discriminated against, lost jobs, kicked out of school just for saying hey I am atheist and I have a mind and want to use it.
I never heard of an atheist going door to door trying to spread the word! or an atheist attacking other religions with violence to convert them. We must acknowledge this idea of atheism and give the people the equal right to believe in it or to not.

I"m a Christian, but I haven't gotten very far in the Bible. And I was wondering if God saw sex before marriage as a sin or not.

I see here lots of people say they dont need religion, that is ok when they are alive, they can "bring" their body anywhere they like, but what happend when they die?I believe to burry or cremate the corpse it has to belong to a certain religion? If it is right, isn't it selfish to choose not to joint any religion when they are active and then leave to the alives to think what to do with their dead body? I dont know, I have no friends or relative who are not belong to any religion, Iam curious to know the answer. Tx

Christians and God the Father's belief is that Atheists and Agnostics dislike authority figures. It first starts at the home with parents and children. Some parents allow their children to run the house hold. So therefore the child grows up to be to man or woman child. "Manchild" Manchilds do not like it when people of authority tell them what to do. Especially when it has something to do with blessing them. Therefore the manchild believes he or she have right to do whatever they want. According to Atheists and Agnostics nobody can tell them what to do or what to believe. Even if Atheists or Agnostics could consider the possiblity that there could be a God they would still not allow God the Father in heaven to tell them what to do. Atheists or Agnostics or you can say "manchilds" feel they have a right to rebel against authority figures The sad fact is that there is a real God and he is a real Father who loves to dicipline arrogant, bratty, ignorant people in hell. Revelation 21:8

It seems to be the flavour of the day!
If you are so firm in your convictions and secure in your faith why do you feel the need to attack and insult them so much? What threat do they pose to you? Why do you feel like you need to ridicule their belief? Is it like the bully in a school yard who only feels validated when they push someone else down?
Do you realise how pety and juvinile you make yourselves seem?
Wow !!! Give them a break! You dont even give us pagans that much grief!
Blessed Be!

Falsification test of crucifixion: Can falsification test of crucifixion perishes the falsehood of crucifixion?
1. JESUS WAS RELUCTANT TO DIE!
He had worked out a strategy of defence to repel the Jews. Because he wanted to remain ALIVE!
2. HE BESEECHED GOD FOR HELP.
With strong crying and tears for God Almighty to keep him ALIVE!
3. GOD "HEARD" HIS PRAYERS
Which means that God accepted his prayers to keep him ALIVE!
4. AN ANGEL OF GOD CAME TO STRENGTHEN HIM:
In the hope and belief that God will save him ALIVE!
5. PILATE FINDS JESUS NOT GUILTY!
Good reason to keep Jesus ALIVE!
6. PILATES WIFE SHOWN A DREAM IN WHICH SHE WAS TOLD THAT —
"No harm should come to this just man." In other words that he should be saved ALIVE!
7. SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE CROSS FOR ONLY THREE HOURS.
According to the system in vogue, no man could die by crucifixion in so short a time which means that even if he was fastened to the cross — he was ALIVE!

How can a man say he is a prophet of God and call God a liar at the same time? How can he accept the names of the prophets and disagree with the prophets of God? Moses taught the tree of life...Abraham was first mentioned by Moses...Abraham said God would provide himself a lamb...Isaiah taught the Messiah would atone for sin...Jesus agreed and said he and the Father wer one and the only way to the Father was through the Son...yet Muhamad likes the name Jesus too just not his teachings...How can you call Muhammad a prophet of God and clearly see he disagreed with God and the prophets?

As an atheist, if you were president, would you deny the freedom to religion, since you think it's the downfall of humanity? You accuse religion to be the root of all evil, so wouldn't it make sense to stop something you view as harmful?

If you'd let people practice as they wish, wouldn't that be horrible of you since you'd be letting us "poor fools" ruin the planet and everyone else included?

I'm head over heels crazy over a particular guy... he's sweet, sensitive, perfect, attractive, everything I could ever want in a guy... And no, I did not just meet him, I've known him for over a year and I have absolutely no doubt that he's THE one.

A couple of minor details, though... I'm Catholic, he's not. He's divorced. These things don't bug me at all, because we respect each other's differences. However, I've had some people tell me that Catholics can't marry non-Catholics within the church... also, there's the little rule about divorced people remarrying becoming adultery/fornication?

I'm sure there must be some way to work around these things, STILL get married in the Catholic church (my family will shun me if I don't) and NOT get excommunicated....

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!!

So some claim that suicide is a sin. They they quote Exodus 20:13 "Thou shall not kill". Suicide is killing oneself...

So what about the people that that take their own life in their hands? Are the people that are into extreme sports, high risk jobs or just not heath conscious classed as sinners? Since their taking their lives in their own hands for pleasure, money, fun, etc

What's the difference if a person takes a bottle of sleeping pills or drive their motorcycle beyond it's limits at a high rate of speed? Both have a great chance of doing the person in. Both of the people were controlling their own destiny.

I was just wondering how you think the actual life came into us

The fact is Atheists are more likely to be miserable unhappy campers. I mean they go out of their way to respond back to Christians like bratty, angry, ignorant, unintelligent children. Most Atheists try to use a large vocabulary to show their intellect. "Like it shows Christians how smart they are". "Laugh" The fact is that Christians are better people and more happier people because of God. Chrisitans like me always see miracles and the blessings from God. It is so silly how Atheists talk about judging them incorrectly. How stupid! Atheists are filthy sinners according God. God says all unbelievers will be put in the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 Atheists always try to rationalize miracles. Atheists you will never see or receive the miracles and blessings of God. God promises the wicked unbelievers mulitplied sorrows. God does say he will mulitiply your sorrows here on earth and in the next life. How pathetic and self centered for Atheists to thank themselves during "Thanks Giving".

didn't create things is right. Why? Because I found out that the Ford Mustang just "came about" Yeah, it seems that the Mustang created itself. Any changes made in the Mustang are done all on its own. There is no such thing as a factory / auto plant that makes the Ford Mustang. For no apparent reason, the metal, plastic, rubber, etc. just come about and turn themselves into a car. This vehicle just came about and continues to materialize all by itself. Sounds kind of like the theory of evolution to me. Isn't that about the way the world came into being? Sure it is. Just ask Mr. Darwin.

especially on the religion section, lol...questions that people ask for clarification on an issue (e.g., a question i answered about predestination) are littered with answers from people who seek to do nothing more than rebuke the person that answered the question. if i ask a question to a bunch of believers like myself, im going to get a majority of answers just saying stuff like "God doesn't exists."

if these people are so logical in their belief that God doesn't exist, why can't they be logical in the sense that they don't need to answer a question that doesn't pertain to them? some of us aren't here to argue, you know...sometimes we like to discuss things.

I've known God all my life, but as i grew up, i've drawn a lot away from Him. Now, i've tried anything to go back to God, i've tried prayer, ANYTHING but nothing works. Even when i go to church it's as if i'm just hearing words, nothing else- nothing that i can actually live my life upon.

I know for sure that deep in my heart i've become so numb to God- i think i gave away so many chances, that God almost seems like He doesn't even have a place into my life anymore. What can i do to go back????!!!!!!???? Is there any chance? (i've tried reading the Bible, but like i said, it just feels like it's words, nothing that i can base my life upon, and prayer- it's as if i'm talking to myself) HELP!!!!!!!

In 1999 I moved with my mom and sister. This is so funny. Right after the move, a guy I knew from living here before comes into my yard and says "yeah, you never want to kill something unless you have to." (I was looking at kittens from the cat that belonged to the previous renter)I was confused, thinking that you would never have to. That night a dog wondered out in front of me while I was driving. Trying to avoid the dog, I hit the ditch, unfortunately, the dog did too. A girl I knew pretty well and her boyfriend just happened to be the next car by. I was waving for someone to stop. They did and they let me use their phone. The cops showed up and I had been speeding so I guess I could've been ticketed for reckless endangerment or something like that, although I had no idea at the time. Anyone relate to this?
