That's all I want, and I'll turn on my sinful ways and believe in "Him."

Or is it just maybe he doesn't exist, we're all just an accident yet to be explained by science, and thus there's no proof?

most atheists i have talked to had a similiar path to their beliefs:

were raised in religious/semi-religious families and at around 10-13 started to question these beliefs

has anyone here been a very religious person later in life and then switched sides? has anyone been a convinced fundie and then given up?

I just found out my cousin is pregnant. She got married a little over a month ago. They both work low paying part time jobs with no health insurance. She said she was using the "rhythm method." Apparently, it didn't work.

Yes, she waited until marriage to have sex...but couldn't she have benefited from a sex ed class that taught her a little more about pregnancy and adequate means of contraception?

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ is the greatest fiction of human history.” (Lord Bishop of Canterbury Commission, the Spiritual Head of England, 1910.)

“The son-ship of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God, atonement are not the teachings of Jesus. These are all inventions of Saint Paul who never really met Jesus.” (Hastings Rashdall, The Theory of Good and Evil)

This is the scenario that will play out for you and your family (and has already played for many others around the world) if the terrorist are left unchecked. So my question to you all is this will you convert to Islam and swear allegiance to Alla or loose your head?

i'm not 100% sure that's what he's attempting, but i figured i'd ask anyway. he knows i'm a pagan and at first he didn't seem to have a problem with it(he's christian.) but today he asks if i'm really an atheist, so i politely corrected him and told him that no i'm a pagan, and i believe in something, just not the same that he does. after that he asked me how that's working out for me. so i said it's good, i feel pretty at peace with what i believe. then he asks me to read a bible passage and tell him what i think about it later. he already knows that i was raised catholic and chose to believe something different. if he's getting at trying to make me believe that again, what's the best way to tell him no thanks without killing the friendship?

ps-don't tell me i need to be converted, unless it make you feel better. but i still won't.

The recently implemented Yahoo Answers report system....
.... is largely automated. Very simple in concept....
You report someone.... and their content is either deleted or not deleted based on a few factors:
#1. Whether it supposedly violates the terms of service (minor)
#2. Your influence level (major)

If it is deleted then your influence goes up.
If it isn't then your infleunce goes down.

This results in a positive feedback mechanism..... a cascade if you will. If your reported content gets deleted, you are more able to get anything else you report deleted, which gives you more and more deleting power. On the flipside... if it doesn't, then you continually lose influence until you have none at all.

Since different sides are going to be working against each other though... what this means is that the side with the most reporters is going to gain the most influence.... while the other side loses it.... until one side has ALL the influence...

"converted" is not the right word - for lack of a better one

Two of the gospels claim that both thieves reviled Jesus--one of them claims that one reviled him and the other begged forgiveness--and the fourth doesn't mention them. I've heard some theories that both thieves started out reviling him but then one changed his mind, but that doesn't ring true.

So which account is false?

You are free to choose between being a Christian and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Master OR going to Hell. Go ahead, choose (freely).
