I see so many people criticizing other people for believing things they think are heretical. It seems like a big waste of energy. If someone isn't attacking Jehovah's Witnesses, they are attacking Catholics. Different preachers come up, like Charles Finny. It seems to me that you guys are wasting energy attacking each other, not allowing you to attack us atheists! ;-)

looking at what Jesus taught the general people, the commandment was to let your light shine by being loving and forgiving and tolerant and so-forth, and in so doing glorify God ... so why is it assumed that its every christians duty to evangelize the masses, go door to door or whatever .. is that what Jesus taught to do or was that what He told the 12 to do .. isnt that supposed to be a special position and a gift to specific people that God chooses to do that ? .. if im forgetting somthing tell me im open to being wrong on this ...

I hear some people say that the reason why many religions exist is for some people to make money.

How can people make money with religions?

"If everyone were gay, the human population would die out"
"Homosexuallity is wrong because they cannot reproduce"

Really? I did not know homosexual men were sterile, or that lesbian women had no eggs. Did you know that?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
John 8:54

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew 19:17

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me
John 7:16

Seriously, please look up "Modern Synthesis." Darwinism hasn't been used for decades except by those with little learning

Some earlier posters said that if they carry Christian action figures, they need to carry Zeus figures, Mohammed figures and others.

Some other posters (non-theist for the most part) said that it's wrong to encourage belief in fantasy in young children. Others replied by saying that the Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, and Ghostbusters are the same type of concept and that there's no harm.

Other posters (both believing and non-believing) said that regardless of faith, these talking action figures promote good precepts (love your neighbor as yourself, turn the other cheek, etc.)

What do you think?

When you believe your religion is the absolute truth? Have you ever stopped to look at why? I have looked at the evidence for and against religion, but religious people seem to surround themselves with their religion and nothing else-almost not wanting to know about anything that could cause doubt! Do you think this is a healthy way to look at any subject or is the fear of death too great?

I would also like to hear other religions takes on the spiritual position of Neanderthals, Homo Erectus, and any other human species.

"i rather be different and nobody then be a brainless sheep a label to society, For me, religion is nothing more then mind control, used to oppress people, if we were only to rid of religion itself, and keep the golden rule. Be kind, caring and respect to everyone, society would be better. I believe there is a God, but the religion itself i find many things wrong with it, So why claim to be of a faith, when you don't follow it.. I rather have a mind can go too, and think freely, it the only thing i have that i can be free. What my fear is being another label, another slave to society, Being like everyone else, depending on someone opinion. I fear people more then anything" quoted by me

this is to those who say they know there is a god. isn't it sort of contradictory to say you know he exists and then to say that he wants everyone to have faith that he exists? think of it this way. let's say you watch a movie, and you find out how it ends, i.e. the good guys win. the next time you watch that movie, do you have faith that the good guys will win, or do you know they will win?

First, I feel really bad saying this but I need to know if I'm wrong.......I'm a PK (preacher's kid) and I HATE christian music. I like worship songs but for some reason 9 out of 10 songs on the christian radio station annoy me!! Why is it that if you're christian and not completely tone deaf, you can get a record deal????? I don't see any extraodinary talent, creative lyrics or even originality. Am I the only one who thinks this way? Am I being too critical?? please help!

I'm a college student and I have an issue at the place where I work. One of the cooks at the restaraunt I work at is a local and thought it would be funny to tell me to "get in the oven" when he first met me. The man knows I'm Jewish but I'm not sure if he understood how offensive something like that can be. Needless to say, I'm very uncomfortable working with him. I spoke with my manager, who told me that unfortunately I have to work with him until I get promoted. This can take as much as 6 months and I don't know how much longer I can work with this disgusting hick. Should I quit and find a different job?
