how many of the people in here have ever had to give evidence about their existence?
conclussion: if existing beings have never had to show evidence that validates their existence, then any beings for whom/which you have to look for an evidence about his/her/it existence doesnt exist.. i dont think i explain myself but i am too lazy to rewrite it all.

I personally like this one.

1830: "...by Joseph Smith, jr., author and proprietor"
Today: "translated by Joseph Smith, jr."

That's a huge difference, not just grammatical.

I'm as broadminded as the next theist, but every weekend they come around on their bicycles, knock on my door at some ungodly hour, and start reading me passages from "On the Origin of Species" before trying to get me to attend the next meeting of the local Skeptics' Society.

Then they give me a copy of "New Scientist", and I take one just to be polite, and they ask me for money to pay for it!

Look they can fail to worship any blessed deity they wish, but they should stop trying to force me to also give up my beliefs.

And really, no Rapture or Armageddon? No eternal punishment? Who could get on board with that?

In my experiences at church, most all the women and girls wear a lot of makeup and jewelry. I know that vanity is one of the seven deadly sins, and that leads me to ask this question. Christian women who wear makeup and adorn yourselves, aren't you afraid that it is vanity and you will go to hell?

I've asked many women why they wear makeup, and the majority of them responded that it gives them confidence and it makes them feel pretty.

What are your thoughts? Please think about this for a minute or two before responding.

Those who are deluded into believing there is a god, as Dawkins has pointed out, can be treated with antipsychotic medication that will help to eliminate the false visions and voices they claim to experience, but if their claims are mere lies, self-decieving lies as well as outwardly decieving lies, how can the phenomonon be sucessfull combated?

Religions are illusory paths. They are the main cause of obsessional neurosis. Their followers strive for favor with their "God" in vain. Without a living "Mediator" there is no way to even approach this "unknowable God". It makes no difference how devoted they are to whichever creed they identify themselves by, because without Jesus Christ, there is no hope.

Does reincarnation exist for some purposes (like aborted babies and the handicapped) who didn't have a real life or couldn't decide for themselves and, therefore, couldn't enjoy their life to the fullest?

He has been sent here only to test our will to be good. When his suggestions alter the words of the lord is why the Lord had to send the Quran cause the messengers just could not help those mostly around them and most of them lost the path. We can see in every messenger esspecially the people of Lut Luke A.s. he barely escaped with his own life let alone his family. And his wife turned back and turned to dust, well in the scriptures outside the Quran it says stone. Well she didn't turn to stone she went back to the dust she was made. That’s one

2 - The story posted of the bears and the lamb haha Allah SWT never talks about bears so bears are creative word he is using with money. You can see how the devil talks in the Quran when he is trying to deny is very soul. Al Jinn also shows how his offspring are not allow to learn but from you.

There are many examples and we will show them can you name a few. Salam

Don't you think they'd ask their questions in the science section? The fact that they ask them here proves that they don't actually want to know the answer-they have some other motives in mind.

come up with a way for other users to request the return of an account for a fellow user who seems to be unfairly suspended? Maybe some sort of a petition that could be circulated on the site to allow regulars to support each other. Its obvious to all of us that the current system is not fair to all and that deletions, suspensions, etc. do not seem to be targeting those who are truly obnoxious; so could there be some way for all of us to be involved? Suggestions?

black people sing and dance and sweat while white people just sit in the pews praying and singing amazing grace.

Yesterday I was exchanging friendly e-mails with one of our Christian regulars. She thinks that it is the Muslims who are doing the reporting resulting in deletions. At first I thought she was just shifting blame but I got to thinking. The last violation I got was because I called Islam and Christianity idiotic.

I thought I would just put this out there for you all to consider and ponder. I am making no accusations at all. Just suggesting that maybe we should all think about this.

Ramjet and Uncle Wayne are beloved Christians here.

What do you all think?

Or might there have been other debris in the water for him to get out of the water on? What purpose did God have for letting Jack freeze in that water when the Titanic sunk?

Certainly those who say they believe that god is real are aware that saying so is equivilent to a lie if they are incorrect... and certainly they are aware that they repeat their lies in order to maintain an appearance of belief whenever they are in doubt.

Doesn't it all come down to willfull dishonesty? Is that what having faith is all about?
