See how insulting it is when a belief is thrust upon you? As an atheist we experience this a lot, about how "angry" we all are, or how we "hate God/christians/muslims" etc. Will you think of this (completely mistaken) question when you next wonder about (and thus thrust a belief on an entire group of people) ALL atheists?

Be honest with me here. I simply do not understand your hostility and anger towards those who do not believe as you do. What is it that makes you so angry? Don't you realize you can 'draw more folks with honey than with vinegar'? There are folks who honestly want to know why you believe as you do, but you often tend to get defensive and angry, and you lose credibility this way. Don't be angry and defensive........be honest and sincere......and tell us WHY you believe as you do ????

Today in the church, people often become so familiar with the teachings of the Bible and the routine of religion that they no longer see Jesus for Who He really is either.They hear so much and practice so littlethat it becomes Christian cliche`
Talking about the Bible but not doing what it says is foolish.
It's hypocritical and makes for you a miserable life<><

Science can produce two DNA identical beings and stuff them into similar environments. Brain wiring etc... can be exactly the same HOWEVER the personalities, intellectual and cleverness varies. Personality can only be described therefore as the soul, what makes us unique! How would you describe what is the soul? Where does it go? Whats the point of it? According to science and nature personality, personal traits etc... Are not necessary with regard to natural need and often is a hinderance and complicates things. This is a good one for you people who dont believe in a religion. Personally I can say im not sure, but i am sure there is a lot more to us and the universe than science can prove or ever will. I believe there is a God but not show how it is, I'm sure we do have souls and there are spirits but i cannot believe that there is any particular view that is correct or incorrect. The universe is not that simple! Perceptions must be collected for a whole view. Agree? LEt me know

In your opinion, would that be an acceptable way to follow Jesus' command to "keep doing this in remembrance of me"?

e's circumstances that leads to their early death sometimes in actual violence?

If your organized religion oppresses those who do not belong to it, removing chances for affluence and causes a person who does not belong to it a violent or otherwise early death from malnutrition or lack of access to education and or what have you, is that a violent crime of oppression that initially caused the unfortunate situation to occur?

Do you think something big is about to happen in the White House(maybe an announcement of the invasion of Iran?) and Karl Rove is getting out of there ASAP?

Could that, if it is about to happen, be the beginning of the war to end all wars?

How do you do this in your day to day life? I have this vine at my home that has these lovely green healthy leaves attached to it. Yet among these green leaves there are some brown ones. These ones are still attached to the vine but for some reason they have not been receiving the nourishment and supply from the vine that the green ones are receiving, and as such they are drying up and withering away. Searching ourselves, what do you think are the things in our lives that cut us off from receiving the Lord as our Life and Life supply? How do we clear up this matter and get back into the flow and the enjoyment of fellowship with the Lord. What kind of branch do you desire to be in the Vine?

What if we are not the most intelligent species on this planet? Would this cause you to rethink anything?

According to Adams' Guide...satircal as it is...we're the third most intelligent.

So why bother about who did what before.....

With regard to any other "Message" that may come after Christianity? Does the Bible say It's the final book? Support your answer with verses please.

Look on youtube and you see, Chinese, Swedish Russian people converting to Islam. Even a ex-KKK brother.

Suddenly their are tapes of people apparently leaving Islam & finding Jesus. All muslims know these are fake, for example they say they prayed to Muhummad but got no answer but called to Jesus & he came running. DUH muslims are not allowed to pray/ask for guidance from him, only God.

Some videos have been exposed as fake. One other guy says when you leave islam they chop you up. Yet this gy is living and selling his book/dvds.

Why the fake confessions?

How can you all be so sure that us Atheists will go to this fictional Hell you keep talking about? What would you do if it was you lot that goes to Hell for saying that to us?
In a way you don't really realise that YOU are performing Spells and you don't know it. HA HA HA.
Everytime you sya or think stuff on people it is classed as a spell. Even your pathetic God says not to do this.
You may all have just dammened your souls to this fictional place.

A man with a hammar went into a beauty salon and beat four old women for pocket change. I am a cynic and nothing surprises me usually, but I just can't believe someone could sink that low as to beat up four old ladies with a hammar for pocket change. It just baffles me. They caught the person and now I am wondering what his punishment will be. What about you?

first let me begin by saying that i am a woman who rejected islam about 25 years ago and now an atheist, and i am not an apologist for any religion or spiritual movement ok

However i need to get this question in perspective

Each time i question the shamelss paedophile actions of the islamic prophet Mohommed muslims and their apologists hit back that Mary was 13 when she fell pregnent with jesus. I have not found even 1 verse in the bible that says so. It only says Mary was a young lady when she had jesus

Anyway i am not worried about mary , joseph or even god.

i am a thinker who compares the 2 religions islam and christianity ok

Mohommed was the founder of islam and he was a paedophile
jesus was the founder of christianity and he lived a saintly life

I judge a tree by its main root, and the islamic main root Mohommed commited paedophilia

now why cover this act up fellows?
