Religion & Spirituality - 13 July 2007

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the big reveal...

I am in fact an atheist. I posted a series of questions tonight parodying some of the christian fundamentalist questions that I grew so tired of.

But I also grew VERY VERY tired of the way some of my fellow atheists behave. They accuse religious people of being self righteous zealots, and call christians "idiots" amongst other things, without seeing that they themselves are in fact biggoted self righteous zealots.

These questions have been a double whammy, to show how I feel about the EGO problem in this section. You can't behave like that! Both sides are wrong!!!

I was being ironic and sarcastic, and if you read over my questions again you can say that. TO all the people who called me an idiot, I say... OWNAGE!!!

And no, the risk of hypocricy inherent in preaching self righteousness is not lost on me.

Anyway, I am an atheist, not an idiot, quite the contrary in fact. Just learn your lesson people!

when I said you forgot to capatalize the word Catholic I was joking, but please don't tell me there's a difference between catholic, and Catholic. There was no other Church back then that was orthodox, but the Catholic (pertaining to Universal) Church/faith, so why do you guys keep on saying catholic Church, and Catholic Church are two separate things?

Believer to non-believer; 'You remind me of a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat.'
Non-believer to believer; 'Well, you remind me of a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that was never there in the first place.'

I don't mean is there anything factual in your particular holy book - like it mentions the Euphrates river, or some historical character - those things only prove that the writer(s) knew their surroundings.
I'm wondering if you can tell me one thing about your god (no matter which god that is) that is factual?

Something that means something about strong. I know there is one "misery and fear are in my path" or something like that. Can you give me a [or more] good bible verse?

A Connecticut church as booked The Hartford Funny Bone Comedy Cafe & Restaurant in The Shoppes at Buckland Hills mall for the months of August & September to hold their services in.

The mall has squashed the plan because it violates the clubs lease but the church is apealing.

Do you find this a bit odd?

Think about it... A-Theist. That means without God! How can you be religious without God? You can't call atheism a religion because you don't believe in religion, fools!

You don't even believe in God, or an afterlife, or anything supernatural like that! It's silly! How can it be a proper religion if you don't have any of that?!

You atheists might as well NOT HAVE any religion.

The only book you have is The God Delusion, and that isn't a proper religious book, because the bible is thousands of years old, and that makes it a proper religious book. Richard Dawkins wasn't inspired by God to write it, heck, he doesn't even believe in God, so how could it be religious ???

Why don't you guys get a real religion?
Become Christians, which is a real religion.

One final word to all our atheist friends, the christian god is a loving god, join our religion, as your religion has no god, which is silly.

IT DOESN'T EVEN RESEMBLE A RELIGION!
It's like u people are ANTI RELIGION

I am a creationist. Yeah I said it. I believe in Jehovah. But I will admit I dont know much about what others think about the worlds origins. I believe in order to efficiently talk to people about something you must know their side. No I will not preach to you on here, but, I would like to know how you think in order to help me. Thank you to all who participate!

if everything has not been existed through a supernatural power that comes from the Supernatural Being, there should be no purpose in every existence. There has been a CREATOR that made everything that exists and created for a reason or purpose. Isn't it great that we all have significance Had the Big bang theory or any theories proven their ideas? if you don't believe in God, you believe that death is the end of everything? Didn't you know that Einstein believed that there is God? He said, "God doesn't play dice." He believed that everything made for a purpose and not just for nothing. isn't God great? Oh, He's absolutely great! there was an atheist that turned to God because she reached heaven in her vision. Then, she can't believe that she said a verse in the Bible that she never ever knew and read it in the Book, it says, "Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life."

I think a lot of the stuff other religions believe is total BS,but I don't tell them I think its ridiculous.So what if our god is a flying plate of spaghetti?Most people don't even know the philosphy behind it.They treat pastafarians like they are psychos for believing something different.If we are so diverse how come we can't accept a new religion?

I do. I'm going to take a hiatus. I think I'm too new a Christian and I'm not in a position to be going back and forth with unbelievers with anything besides scripture and my own experience. And sometimes not even that. I made a bad choice recently and I've given the devil a foothold. I'll be back!!! In case anyone wants to contact me, email me. Pray for me! God bless!

Okay- I feel like God doesn't like me because I'm not a boy. Barely any women show up in the bible. And God was like, "Being homosexual is wrong." And he keeps homos out of heaven for being that way! If God is like that, I don't think I want a God like that. And- getting angry is a sin according to God and you go to hell for it. We're all going to hell then. God just makes people suffer for their sins FOREVER. That is horrible. I thought he was all 'forgiving.' Guess not

God created everything. How do we know this? Well it's in the Bible. The Bible is the word of God. God is infallible and Omnipotent. Therefore everything in the Bible is true. It's a fact.

If God wanted us to believe in your THEORY, he would have put it in the Bible. But he didn't. He told us exactly how we came to exist in the Bible, man came from the Earth, and woman came from man's rib. It's simple science. Why is it science you ask? Because God said so in the Bible.

He didn't say we were monkeys in trees eating bananas and playing with dinosaurs, no... He told us how we were made. So if evolution were real, don't you people think that "Origin of the Species" would have been included in the Bible?

God put in other theories to the Bible, like when the fall of the temple is described, that's gravity right there. And the eclipse of the sun, that's quantum mechanics, but no sign of evolution.

What is with you atheists using logic and reason all the time in your arguments!?
