what do organizations like American Atheists do? I mean, how do you push for a "non-belief" agenda before starting to look as crazy as all other deist religions?

I have noticed that the more I learn in the science field the more amazed I am that it all happened due to a "big bang" or other wild coincidence. Everything in nature is so symmetrical and balanced and circular. It seems to have been planned very carefully, in a huge intricate plan. For instance the human genome has taken decades to map. This does nothing to disprove God as far as I'm concerned; instead, the complexity and absolutes in science tend to convince me that a supreme creator must exist. What are your thoughts??

Jesus has the voice of Archangel (1 Thessal.4:16)?

If I am a man then my voice is the voice of a man, If i say that a man has a voice of a woman, I am insulting or denigrating him.

What do you think?

Okay, first off I want to say I'm not mocking atheists at all. I just have a genuine question for you:

Given that most of you on this site seem to rely heavily on logic and reason to determine what you believe is true, what experience have you had in college-level philosophy classes? I don't mean classes like History of Philosophy, Logic, or Utilitarianism...I mean more contemporary classes such as Postmodernism, Deconstructionism, etc. Philosophy today seems to reject Modernism's reliance on rationality, so I'm just wondering how you faired in such Postmodern classes. Thanks!

Firstly, I have no idea if this applies to Catholic schools. Never been to one, so I can't tell you. Secondly, I don't need my soul saved. If you're right and I'm going to burn eternally, I'd rather do it for something I believe in. Now on to the question.


From my experience, I'm glad I escaped the indoctrination. We were taught never to question and never ever to rock the boat. We were taught to dress alike, act alike, and not be extremely smart. I've never seen so many affairs in my life, and most of them got off with "The devil made me do it", then we were told never to discuss it.


Is this what the Christian church is becoming?


And for the students: Are you a stronger Christian today because of it? Or did it do you like me and turn you against the church or make you convert to another religion?

People preach about god on here and in life the more people preach to me the more I hate religion and the farther away they push me. Do they think by preaching they are going to make me think about changing my mind and going to "god"? The more people push it on me the more I back up so why don't they see what they are doing? They want people to turn to "god" but they push people back.

O SERVANT, where dost thou seek Me? Lo! I am beside thee.
I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash:
Neither am I in rites and ceremonies, nor in Yoga and renunciation.
If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.
Kabîr says, “O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath.”

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else - the afterworld. A world of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-All-right, instead of asking him how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. 'Cause in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld. In this life, you're on your own. And if de-elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy ………"

I have to agree.

While individual Scientologists can be, for the most part, good people, the organization itself is both powerful, dangerous, and vengeful. There is much we already know about what the cult has done to people, the lies it has spread, the lives they have ruined, and what they charge their members for treatments that do nothing.

Some people compare this to the Catholic church, but today's modern Catholic church won't force you to pay tens of thousands of dollars for anything, nor will they threaten you for not attending the church or participating. It really is comparing apples and oranges.

What is your opinion on Scientology? Dangerous cult, or harmless nonsense? Or perhaps you think it helps people.

I think that it has made Tom Cruise worse, not better.

There are so many interpretations of the bible and those people who interpret it think they are 100% right and won't question theirselves when someone comes up with a different interpretation. If so many people interpret the bible differently and believe they are 100% right how do we know these people are right at all and why would God allow a book to be written that is claimed to be his word that can't be universally interpreted to mean the same thing no matter who reads it? Especially when the people who read it think that their interpretation is the right one and can't be convinced otherwise

Jesus is worthy to be praised, adored and magnified, especially over every false "god" and the doctrine of humanism.

On every single thing containing the "blood of Jesus" (who knows if it is the blood of Jesus) the type was AB. So one should now know why AB is blessed as the universal recipient.

John 3:16 states

"For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life"

now question 1: Does this passage mean that if a person believes Jesus existed that they will go to heaven?

question 2: Does this passage mean that if a person believes and honors his teachings will go to heaven?

question 3: Wouldn't this passage cause the rest of the bible to be void if all one has to do is believe he existed?

question 4: When Jesus says "believeth in him" does he mean God, himself, or both? because one might take it to mean either one.

A thousand years past, when life was dark, short, and brutal, as we inched kicking and screaming into the first hints of enlightenment, Christianity was hot to trot for slaughter, burning people alive, drowning 'witches,' persecuting and murdering Jews, enslaving, 'lords' and 'kings' and all that BS, and keeping women pregnant, illiterate, and at the hearth. What's ahead as we journey toward the end of the present one thousand? Do you think we puling primates, with a moveable thumb and a brain that is still wanting serious attention, will continue to babble on about the god of a murdering tribe of Bronze Age desert nomads?

I saw several Paris Hilton questions over the course of the day with numerous folks berating her for claiming to have become a Christian and for her reading the Bible while she was in jail.

Come on people step up to the plate and let’s hear how you think she’s a fraud.
