seems like the most of the atheists i see here do not believ e in prophets like Jesus, Muhammad etc......while I respect that, I wonder to myself where do you think these prophets came from? If you say it's man then..... do you think that man could have started this same messege and keep going all these generations? some prophets came within hundreds, thousand yrs apart from the other.What is your reason why you discredit these men who are religously historical ?............
Or if you do acknowledge their presence , how can you still deny god? Do you ever wonder though about these things and think this came from somewhere and look into it deeply even if you think that man alterd the religon for his own good ( which you would be mad at the person and not god)

What if no organised religion is correct and you are all just contradicting each other and causing wars over your views and causing alot of people heartache in your efforts to out do your opposition. Why do people have to believe in one truth?
Surely what any one person believes in their mind is enough and no one should have to fit into some regime of worship!

I absolutely believe that all religions are cults and to join them you are being brainwashed to some degree!!

Or am i blasphemus, surely following rules from a 2000 year old book is just foolish.

When's the last time you stuck up for a religion that wasn't yours?

with young people?

As the nation’s culture changes in diverse ways, one of the most significant shifts is the declining reputation of Christianity, especially among young Americans. A new study by The Barna Group conducted among 16- to 29-year-olds shows that a new generation is more skeptical of and resistant to Christianity than were people of the same age just a decade ago.

Do you feel that the selection of the Bishop of Rome has always been about who was the most spiritually mature person? Has politics had any effect on shaping the papacy?
Is this to the benefit or detriment of the church?

I was watching Alan Alda on Charlie Rose the other night (no, I'm not 900 years old) and they were discussing values. I think I value truth above all. What about you?

''People who pray do it because that's how they choose to deal with their life.''

I personally find it enlightening. It's like tossing all your baggage in God's direction and letting Him deal with it. But then again, that's how I interpret it. Any thoughts?

Have a nice day, by the way :)

It's been suggested that one way to come to believe in God is by talking to him/asking him to reveal himself. To me, this seems like it would require that I believe I am talking/asking an existing entity.

How could one pray to God without believing in God?

It's sometimes asked on here if the world would be a better place if religion as an institution were eliminated. Often the comments from (presumed non-adherents) indicate it would be.

To those that would answer in the affirmative to the above-referenced question: would the world be better with a formal doctrine of atheism - in order to combat the rise of the further influence of theism - or is it sufficient to simply try to raise critically-thinking members of society?

In other words, atheism as a social institution or simply as the lack of an alternative social institution (religion)?

Part of the reason for asking this question is that, while most atheists arrive at their 'belief' through an application of some degree of skepticism/critical analysis, some do not; this latter group is often born into atheism, or accepts it blindly.

Hello, Blessings and Peace,

If you have any knowledge of gnosticism, manichaeanism or mandaeanism then would you be willing to profess their tenets and teachings and at the same time practice them?

I ask because, esp with men and women of intellect, reason, logic, knowledge and of the experience if life I can imagine agnostics and atheists and humanists as becoming greater gnostics, manichaeans or mandaeans. See this not as an threat, since I or the gnostic, manichaean or mandaean do no wrong to any fellow dweller in the inn (from the Hymn of the Pearl).

Can you anything to this?

Andre
Manichaean Probationer and Nazorean Gnostic

"the search for gnosis, wisdom and compassion adds value to the passer by"- that what I say.
