I want to accept Islam, and it seems as though more Americans are beginning to realize that it is one of the cleanest alternatives available. Do you think that more Americans will convert in the coming years, if progress in Iraq declines and the severity of attacks increase?

I mean, I could do all the "Pillars of Islam" requirements, say the things that need to be said, and externally live an Islamic life, but it is impossible that I could actually believe Allah exists. I mean, it's just not possible to believe without realistic evidence. So is it possible for me to convert to Islam? If not, it seems likely I'd be the target of jihad (actually as an American I already am), and so must I struggle against Islam for the sake of my own survival?

If everyone was partly right and partly wrong, which part of your belief (or lack of) could you deal with being wrong? Deity? Heaven/afterlife? A hell? Your holy book? _____?

I think that overpopulation is one of the biggest and most ignored problems in the world today. I have seen a lot of different opinions on the subject, some people think it is a big problem, some people think it is not a problem at all
What do you think? If you think its not a problem at all, say why. If you do think its a problem, what are some things that you think we should be doing as a society to help get the problem under control?

How does it feel to waste your time praying to a God that states in his own words that the Jewish ppl are his "chosen ones" and they will be saved on judgement day.

*shrug* just curious 'tis all. BTW don't call me an aethist b/c i'm not....i'm agnostic thank you. I neither confirm nor deny there's a God....I can honestly say, "I just don't know"

The one that stays at home, right under your nose, telling you how much they love you all time, thank you, thank you, thank you, you are the most wonderful parent, ever, ever, ever!!!?

Or the one who goes out and makes his/her own way, Is strong, smart, uses the brain you gave them to discern right and wrong, doesn't ask you for stuff all the time, and makes something of themselves without your help?

Check out the lovely answer I just got from one john_d_ayer:

"Heaven is for people; who believe that God's rules make sense, admit they make mistakes, learn from their mistakes and become better people.

"Hell is for people who think; God's rules are a joke, they don't make mistakes or if they do - so what, who cares if you learn anything and who think they are as good as they will ever be."

Wow. So, I wonder if other Christians agree with this guy. Atheists, do you feel that you never learn from your mistakes, or who cares if you do? Do you think you're as good as you'll ever be?

How disgusting of him to say such a thing about people who don't believe in his God.

If one has an abundance, and payes his tithe and more, is he a sinner, because of the abundance that he has?

Don't want to point the finger at any one group in R&S, but wow. I just asked a question and it never ceases to amaze me how the answers in no way even hint at answering my question. Isn't it frustrating?

Do you live by "an eye for an eye" or "turn the other cheek"?

It says both in the bible, yet they contradict each other.
If you live by one, you disobey the other, yet they are both the word of God, so you are automatically going to hell for disobeying the word of God, whichever one you choose.

The notion that America is a Christian nation, or was founded as a Christian nation, is debated widely. But I see two possible meanings here. It could mean that the nation was founded on Christian principles (in conjunction with Enlightenment philosophies) and continues to be overwhelmingly Christian in its populous. Another meaning is that it was founded to be Christian and remains so, as an extension of pursuits towards Christ in governance.

In my last question, many of you stated in your answers that Satan is the reason why we doubt God. So, if God is all-powerful, isn't he more powerful than Satan? Why can't he just stop Satan from infesting us with all these wretched, awful atheistic ideas?

The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures -- texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" -- scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth.

There are those who would say, "Read the word, and you will be able to discern the truth", to not be shaken in your faith, when confronted with a mystery.

I personally do not feel books are necessary to obtain knowledge of a Supreme Being.

But I find it fascinating that there are writings attributed to Thomas, the doubter.

Do you think these "books" contain truth?
