Personally I'm betting on Buddha because he's got that laid back attitude and those ancient Indians already knew a great deal about fighting.

"For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire" (2 Pet 2:20-22 KJV)

Peace

It seems that people just want to believe. I mean, really, would we still have religion today if it didn't promise in afterlife? Logically there's no reason to think we go to some magical place when we die.

I dont want to undermine anyone elses beliefs but i find it(Christianity) to mythical for me to buy it, maybe i'm wrong. but i refuse to say i believe in god just becuz im scared of the consquences if there is one. Many people ask me how i retain hope when i die without believing in God. I dont think going blank when u die would be bad, it scared me when i was younger but that was just the thought of me never being able to see a family member that passed. Heaven sounds great but so does the tooth fairy, i know thats a little unfair but its just the way i feel.

If when you got to heaven you find out that EVERYBODY was there, including atheists. Would you feel cheated that nobody went to hell?

To enter GOD's Kingdom and that your religion provides people a way to be nice give to chairity then the Atheists on this site who say
they are very nice people, give to charity and have no need for GOD do not believe he exsists then what does your religion say about them?

I am asking these questiion not to be confrontational because I believe that all religions have good things to say, Cults are another thing and are bad...

If the purpose of your faith is to teach how people should live good lives then it does not address Atheism because they do not need religion to live a good life.

Maybe your religion is just to bind you culturally and traditionally because thier has to be an ultimate end to a religious faith and a way for all people to understand how to acheive thier eternal destiny.
Muslims here differ on what they say by what I am reading from thier posts.

Most people accept that we are descended from the apes, (except for george w. and his ilk)!
Therefore they must have a soul.
Will I meet my great great (ad infinitum) grandfather with his prehensile tail in the afterlife?
Or, do christians believe that we only got soul after the missing link?

Grown men and women actually being hurt by what some namless, faceless, stranger says to you on the internet? Are you kidding? How is this possible?

I grew up being insulted by other people. I heard so much of it for so many years, I became immune to it. What another person has to say about me today doesn't mean sh*t to me.

Maybe it bothers you because you're not used to it. Maybe you're used to being the one who is slinging the insults, and when one comes back and hits you in the face, you can't handle it.

Following on from this question:

Am I led to believe then that people who follow a religion are of the general idea that everyone who has sex outside of marriage does so through casual sexual relationships with anyone and everyone they bump into. Thats not giving the millions of us in loving faithful relationships a hope in Hell when it comes to avoiding the pit. Its things like that which make this particular Atheist hard to convert.

Century 10, Quatrain 74:

The year 7 of the great number accomplished,
It will appear at the time of the games of hecatombe(slaughter)
Not far from the age of the great millennium,
When the dead will come out of their graves.

The great number accomplished...2000...the year 7 of that number(near the great millennium)...2007. Hecatombe was an event which occurred on the 4th day of the Olympic games of ancient Greece in Athens. On that day 100 cattle were slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods and everyone ate free BBQ. Sporting events held on that day included wrestling and boxing. This year from Sept. 18-23 the World Olympic Wrestling Championships will be held in Baku("God"),Azerbaijan. Notably as well, Rosh HaShannah(Feast of Trumpets) begins on Sept. 12 and culminates on Yom Kippur(the holiest Jewish day), Sept. 22. Many Jews believe the Messiah(Moshiach) will return and the dead will rise during this time. Could Nostradamus have seen the rapture occur on Yom Kippur, 2007?

The first two paragraphs really hit home for me. It's exactly the way I think. I wonder how Christians/Muslims/other religions see this song, and I would love for my fellow Atheists to chime in too. Thanks!

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
---------------------------------------
By the way this is

Why again can't people just live their own lives? If you don't believe in being given the choice to abort, how about you don't have one? If you don't believe in gay marriage, how about you don't marry a gay person? If you believe smoking pot is wrong, I say don't smoke pot! If you don't think you should have sex outside of marriage, why don't you just wait until you're married? If you think birth control is immoral, by all means, don't take it!

Thats right, Power to the People!

We'll all respect each others beliefs and stay the hell out of each others personal lives, who's with me!?

Gods purpose was to create intelligent life with free will scattered all over the universe. During or before the creation of planet earth and human life, one of the angels of God desires total independence from God's rule. He goes as far as to question God's rule and that life could be better without God dictating right from wrong. He also states that he could turn all life away from God. He is succesful in turning away the first human pair and many of the angels. God does not destroy this angel because of the questions and doubts that have been presented by this rebel angel.

God lets time speak for itself. God also makes a plan to restore paradise which according to the bible the time is very close.

So the bible explains to us why there is suffering.

Do you think there is good reason to belief the story above and belief in the bible God?
