First of all I'm an atheist.

Second, I believe religion to be devisive and the excuse for lots of world and social problems

Third, I think the world would be a better place if people had to explain their actions without the exuse of devine inspiration from a supernatural entity(ies).

So, I will say up front - I cannot explain every thing in the world - there is loads of stuff I don't know, absolutely buckets of the stuff! But given that why on earth would I beleive in a supernatural super-entity(ies) to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and isn't it even a little bit strange that most societies have some sort of mythology to explain these mysteries and yet none of them seem to have developed the same one?

Go on, someone come up with a LOGICAL argument for their deity/deities.

Finally, in the absence of a sensible argument, and here's my motivation, if one person decides to question their supernatural beliefs - great stuff, welcome to the enlightenment!

I just can not even get excited about it, and what is in it for you? I mean..........noise, polluted air, wasting money, and watch cars going circle......but it is THE NUMBER ONE sports (?) in AMERICA. ONLY in AMERICA........the rest has class and history for F1. Why America has to be so different from the rest all the time regardless of quality? Hmm.

I've had the worst luck ever when it comes to the friends I have and my family..I gave my mother my apartment while I went to go rent a room from a friend, she couldn't keep up with the payments and ended up getting evicted out, so now I have an eviction on my record, yet my mother blames me for the apartment, I have a 13 year old half sister, and she walks around here calling me "B@$! and takes my ipod's to school, goes in my purse, and my mother does nothing, I helped bond my brother out of jail, a few months ago, I'm not rich, and he never pays the money back he owes me for bailing him out....I call my grandmother to talk to her, and she sympathizes with me, and I ask her to help me get a reference to get into an organziation, from a family member, and she ignores my calls,.even my dad ignores my calls, I invited him to my graduation and he didn't return any of my calls I feel so alone, how do I stay strong? I 'm a nervous wreck, my hands shake, I feel bad about myself.I need help?

Also why is there so much division within Christianity? By that I mean why is Christianity split up into Protestantism and Catholicism? Why is it broken up into Fundamental/Conservative, Evangelical, and Liberal Christianity? Why are there so many denominations? What does it matter what section or denomiantion a person is or isn't? Why does it matter how a person interprets scripture or doesn't interpret scripture? Isn't it all about accepting Jesus Christ as lord and savior and nothing else? Aren't we all supposed to be brothers and sisters in Christ? What would Jesus say if he saw all of this nonsense that is going on?

I know I can say that Im not trying to insult anyone or start any angered uproars but I guess they cant be avoided in this forum. So since Im truly wondering....ill ask anyway....

According to Christian doctrines, we are sinners the day we are born. But in the womb we are pure and free of sin. That implies a distinction between fetus and baby. In abortion arguments, it often comes down to the question of where life begins. So why is the distinction in the theory of Original Sin not the same as the distinction of where life begins?

Before I continue, I would like to ask you to please take this question seriously. A few minutes ago my friend called me and was asking me if i knew what this meant. She said "I can see through objects, I have to focus though. But do you know what this means?". And i've never heard of anyone having this ability before. She called me because she knew that I would listen to her, and because we're both indigo children. I have a few weird gifts of my own also. But people don't believe that we can do these things because we are just 13 year olds. I'm kindof the leader of a little group of indigo and crystal children and we teach eachother what we know. So they come to me for advice and I don't always have the answers for them. If you have ever heard of this "X-ray vision" gift than please post a link with info about it, so I can show it to my friend. Thanks,
~Dakotah

As I Chistian I am so confused why someone would call themselfs a Christian, but they have no clue what a Christian is.... They might believe in a god, but they do not believe in God, or his son Jesus Christ.... This frustrates me so much... I am sick of nonbelievers giving Christians a bad reputation!!!! If you are a Christian ACT LIKE IT!!!! And if you are not saved, stop saying you are!!!!!!!

There was a statue of Jesus made in one of the visitor centers in Utah. It is said that his arms were made to be praising God, but they slowily started to move down until they look like they hang to his waist (as if to welcome his sheep or the lost).

This has to be a joke that some one made up speculating the "truth" behind scientology. No man in their right mind could belive an evil space lord froze alien creatures and placed them on earth and we are all vessels carrying the souls of said creatures. If scientologists really belive that I want to stand up and proudly state that you are the most brain washed idiots this country has yet to see and you really should seek professional help.

I mean, isn't that basically mixing nationalism with religion, which is what we see as such a danger in places like the Middle East?

ok you guessed it im a christian, and i have quite a few friends who are some form of a vegetarian. so i really am thinking about it, but is it wrong for christians to be vegetarians, because with my parents that would be a thin line to walk.

but i am really thinking about becoming one because i didn't relize how bad it was for us to eat meat.

but that is my question is it a sin to be a vegetarian, like saying it is in the bible?

I didn´t know anything about jainism when I had a dream that I was walking through a temple made in marble (that white and blue stone). My body was of a 7 year old child, with a blue flame surrounding it. Then I found a big flame (without a "person" inside it). I talked to her. She was breathing and when she did it, I felt a lot of love (and brieth at the same time of the flame). The flame talked to me in a sound that remembered the sound of many violins. The color was almost white, but with many colored points.

The strange thing was that there was statues of a naked man as the columns of this temple (that I thought it was Buda). I was very interested in that dream, because it was very real.
So I made a research on Internet and recognized it as a jainist temple. I was always interested in Mahatma Gandhi and I was born in the same day, but I didn´t know that he was jainist.

The same ones who claim to be under a 'New Covenant', and "saved by Grace through faith" will repeatedly turn back to Old Testament laws and stories when arguing about sins. Paul himself did this. What's the deal? OT, NT, or both?

Since I've decided to turn my life over to Christ. After some searching I feel that I have made the choice for me. However I don't know what sect or denomination I'm gonna choose if any at all. I mean I was baptized as a baby in the Catholic Church but was never active in it and I've never done Communion or Confirmation. So what's the next step? Does any of that matter? Do I have to be baptized again or is the baptism as a baby enough? Oh and I'm an adult now.
