The same questions, same insults, same stupidity.
What I don't understand is, if people have no belief in God and spirituallity, then why do they spend so much time and effort in trying to destroy it in others.
I can understand believers trying to convert and teach it is what Jesus told them to do but if you truly disbelieve then why all the spent energy.

Having read a few comments from people here, some think that a predominantly atheist world would be communist.

So if you believe this, why so?

And if you don't, why not?

Are you a red atheist?

I'm not. I'm a capitalist atheist for sure.

If God is like the father to all of us isn't it like he just pulled the car up to earth and dropped us off without ever turning back?
And some of the 'brothers and sisters' are still waiting and hoping for him to come back...

"Murder isn't really murder if it is done for Jesus. The overriding commandment in the bible is to follow Jesus. Everything else is secondary."

This is the kind of scarry blind faith that suicide bombers have.

I believe in the whole live life with no regrets, but I did something and I feel raelly bad about it. My friend was trying to set me up with a guy, so this guy text me for like 4 hours and he sounded awesome, but then he stared to act perveerted a little bit but I was like whatever maybe he is just bein a guy ya know. So then he called me and this is when I did something I regret, we talked really dirty and said really nasty things, and I said I would suck his dick and stuff, but the truth is I'm a virgin and a christian devoted to god. Don't get me wrong, I still like this kid because when he wan't being perverted he was being awesome, but after I got off the phone with him at 2:30 in the morning I cryed and prayed because I felt like I really let God Down. What can I do to get god to forrgive my sin for acting like this and also what if that kid does try to have sex with me? What do I do? and I'm only 15, thanx sooo much.

1. Crime is way up

2. Race relations is detiorating producing more racists and bigots especially with young people

3. Young people in the educational system have no sense of biblical right and wrong are a group provong to be more dis-respectful and rejecting GOD's obedience.

4. Real Estate in a severs slump.

5.People growing cold to one another and feeling a huge seperation from a secular society...

Has Athesim ever proved to bring one good thing to society?

Is it possible for a person to still be spiritual and not believe in God? I am not trying to debate beliefs or non beliefs and I have no malice intended with this question. I am simply someone who is struggling with religion as a whole and my beliefs about the bible have been shaky at best. I do however believe in a higher power, not just as a romantic notion but I simply think it would be arrogant and unrealistic not to. Do any of you feel the same way and if so, how would you descibe this if not spiritual? I would appreciate any insight you have about this.

Do you feel that God is closer to you when you belief that the universe was created by God only 6000 years ago instead of believing that earth was created billions years ago ?

You answered my earlier question "Science, Religion or both?" and asked for proof of immortality. You might try a cool read called "The Physics of immortality" By, Frank Tipler. Surely, this physist is being criticized within the Scientific community.. But then again,
the scientific community, at one point, believed that the world was flat. If you're truly open minded, read it. If not, I tried to expand horizons.

"Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed. (Exodus 22:20)

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

The rivers were made as poison".

This is NOT directed at homeschooling in GENERAL. You have every right to provide a better education for your kids if the school is not doing it up to standard.

This question is about those who HAVE good schools in their area but still homeschool because they are frightened their kids will be exposed to scientific teachings and social situations that may challenge their religious beliefs.

Throughout human history, we do NOT respond well to this kind of thing. Curiosity, doubt and a willingness to learn are natural to all of us. One sided indoctrination and strict controls over personal freedom and information only works for so long. They create a BURNING desire to break free.

How will you answer when they ask, “Why did you need to keep me ignorant in order to keep me obedient?”

Also, will the COUNTRY's scientific professions suffer?

Will we have to start sourcing scientists with a sound foundation in evolutionary science from Asia and Europe?
