the presence of Santa, that I know Santa can and does forgive my sins, that Santa speaks to me and all you need to be born again is to have faith in Santa? I presume you now believe in Santa, because I have told you he exists, and PROVEN it by putting it in a book?

I'm losing my faith. I had studied the resemblances between dog, human, and chimp. And I figured out that evolution theory is quite logical & acceptable. But on the other hand, I believe that there's no way christianity can compromise Evolution Theory. How can 6 days creation not be mutually exclusive to billions of years evolution?

I had read some books trying to disprove the theory ie Evolution & Creation by Enoch, and Haroon Yahyas but they seem to be too "fabricated" and illogical at some points with very weak arguments.

Please tell me a webpage containing research papers / resources which rebuts the evolution theory in an scientific & analytical way.

I was born of atheists and I am one as are my children. Without the fear of damnation for our heresy, why therefore are my parents considered pillars of the community, I am considered to be one of the most compassionate, dedicated teachers in my building, and my kids are praised by their teachers for being polite and sharing? If god/ religions are the basis for morals, why does my family have them?


*They don't say "the pledge" because it violates their religious freedom and their teachers respect their choice.*

Roman catholics are under obligation to attend mass on Sundays and holy days. If a person is cross dressed (dressed as a member of his/her opposite sex), does that satisfy this obligation ?

I know this isn't something that can really be "sumed up", but I'm looking for the basis of what Buddhism is, and as a Buddist what your experience has been like?
Hope I worded this correctly! Thanks so much!

As I cast off the shackles of christianity and explored other faiths along the road to atheism, I could never really go along with the idea of reincarnation either.

The mind is the result of electrical impulses and chemical reactions within the architecture of the brain.

Alter any one of these, and the mind is altered.

Remove the electrical energy from the chemistry and the brain, and all you have is energy.

Do people really think it's reasonable to suggest that this energy will magicly find it's way into a new life at conception?

......or is it later in pregnancy?

Isn't it all just a bit too illogical?

That give a later date for the writing of the New Testament? I'd really like to know where this assumption comes from.
No disrespect intended towards anyone, I'm only curious!

For the record, I believe that it was all written by the end of the 1st century. But I know of many who believe otherwise.

How is it that Mary and Joseph were married yet she was a virgin?? Back in those days I am sure you got married and 'consumated' your marriage immediately - yet how does the bible explain her to be a "virgin'?

What is your opinion of the argument made by many Christians that people with black skin are descendents of Cain, whom God supposedly cursed after he killed Abel by making his skin black. I find this argument to be ridiculous. However, if you think this is true, how could you as a person with black skin still want to be a Christian? If you think it is not true, then what is your opinion as to where people of different skin colors came from? Obviously, Adam and Eve had to be some color; white, black, brown…..

White folks, you are welcome to give your thoughts and opinions as well.

In the clouds around the sun, I could clearly see Apollo and his chariot. Is this proof that the greeks were right about gods?

I've been doing some reading, and it seems that the disciples were hard-pressed to agree with each other, never mind having a really hard time grasping Jesus' message. How do you know?

We sing, Standing on the Promises, but all we seem to do is sit in the pews. Shouldn't we be about our Fathers work? Teaching and setting an example to those who are lost,and held captive to that liar. Luke 4:18-19

I do but in my day to day I fail that. I feel like I should but for some reason or another I do not. I want to shed off the thing that prevents me from doing so.

I want everyone to feel safe, protected, warm, and loved. Yet I don't put it into practice and I feel shame.

This barrier needs to go but I have yet to figure out how to move beyond it. I do this in small amounts with my wife and some around me in small ways but I want to open the door wide.

I'm changing like this and I don't know why. I don't know how I got to this point. It is very strange.

why have so many of them committed suicide on account of their feelings? If they could just 'unchoose' homosexuality and 'choose' heterosexuality why wouldn't they do so, rather than taking their own lives? How can you justify calling it a choice?

I'm asking for other opinions, because maybe I'm just a prude, or an old fuddy duddy and all, but recently we had a mother that would begin to breast feed her new born right in the middle of Sunday morning service. Now, she wasn't in the back, or the balconey...she was right down front. I understand it's a natural thing, and women are freer to do things like this openly now..but in church? Am I wrong about this? Waiting on your opinions!

effort, time and points to learn how Christians think and why they think the way they do?

Do we learn more by asking people what they think or by telling them what we think?

For the record, my tally is 477 questions asked, 477 stars received, and I've answered 473 questions.

I ask this seriously, this isn't a joke. Are you embarrased when inferior Christians ask Atheists why they celebrate Christmas?

I do not mean this question as a slam on Christians or Christianity,

Regardless of wether you call it as Christians the holiday Christmas, or Jewish people who call that season Hanukkah, or the Romans who called it Festival of Lights,

we all deserve a day for family, family is the greatest gift of all.

While praise and worship service was going on, everyone was in the Spirit and people were shouting, My sister was shouting and running, then when she got to the front of church, infront of everyone, she fell and slid as if she was trying to get a home run, We laughed about it later and saw it on tape. She was ok but it was so funny though.
