Dose God listen to the prayers of the Muslims in their Mosques?
Jews in their Synagogues?
Hindus in their Temples?

Just curious what you guys think.

Today's newspaper writers are just as inspired by their God as were the Biblical writers, but that does not make either of them right. All express their own points of view, and don't care if it is only half-right, distorted or wildly exaggerated.

I have a hard time believing that the majority of religious people are the most vocal ones: you know, the ones who don't want science taught in school, who bomb abortion clinics, blow up buildings, go to anti-gay rallies....etc.
The majority of religious people I meet ( in this case Christians) are actually nice, peaceful and somehow don't make religion a central part of their lives. In fact, they rarely want to talk about their religious habits.
However, Dawkins somehow had a bone to pick with those type of religious people, saying that they somehow allow the most fundamentalists ones to define what Christianity/Islam.. etc is.
What are your thoughts?

Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.

It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so.

While reading several answers to some of my earlier questions I've noticed that a number of Christians & non-Christians alike use the terminology, 'true christian.' So, in light of the darkness... what is a "true" christian?

If you reference scripture, do so as a 'reference' to make your point. Do not answer the question using only a scripture.

"Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."(Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782; from George Seldes, ed., The Great Quotations, Secaucus, New Jersey: Citadel Press, 1983, p. 363.)

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my church. " Thomas Paine

Being that Independence Day was yesterday, it got me thinking... I am so thankful that we (American's) actually have the right to believe what we choose to believe. While ppl are giving their lives so we can have Freedom of Religion, we sit here and try to take that away from eachother, bashing eachothers beliefs/or lack there of.Instead, lets be thankful..We don't have a religion forced upon us by the Government and are killed if we don't abide...I am sincerly grateful that there are people that are willing to fight for our Freedom. If you have any friends,family,or loved ones that are in the Military..I say thank you! And May God Bless... (no offense ment by that.) Just my form of appreciation...

Arent you thankful?...

Say a person asked jesus into his or hear heart, asked him to guide and follow all the years of his or her life. tried her best to live and serve him. Kept the truth to a loved one, but then lied to the loved one . Lived with that loved one, married that loved one, was happy with that loved one. then dies, and never told the loved one that she lied to them, but she told jesus and asked him to forgive her for that lie. will God have forgiven her and taken her into his kingdom or since she never told the loved one on earth the truth, will she be succumbed to hell?

Aside from the extreme fundamentalists, the average theist has, over the centuries, willingly accepted more and more scientific explanations for things that were once ascribed to god.

For example, at one time theists had unwaivering faith...

That you had to be buried with gold, silver and precious gems to buy entry into the afterlife.

That god created the earth at the center of the universe.

That sickness was a form of punishment for lack of faith.

That god deliberately made some people inferior to others.

How do theists explain the loss of faith in these divine beliefs? Was it logic overcoming irrationality, or peer pressure, or exposure to knowledge? Isn't faith supposed to be absolute and unchanging?

If theists continue this pattern of abandoning divine explanations for things, won't they eventually think god right of a job?

If God is all knowing and you believe in adam and eve.. then isn't what he did entrapment?
(*spell it out for you people who don't know what entrapment is... God knew adam would take that apple, why tell him not to take the apple?

Wearing "ghost" robes and forming a circle around a burning cross sounds like it could be a satanic ritual.

And booms out, "Without the Lord we are but dust!"

A 5 year old shouts back, "What's butt dust?"

Sorry. I just had to get that in. Question: Does it irritate you when people just try to throw in a little humor instead of re-hashing the same old Q&A's all the time?
