I am an atheist. I have two children at school. Now I believe that my children have the right to grow up and decide for themselves what they believe. If they follow a religious path, so be it.
But I am against my childrens school forcing my children to pray every morning assembly. This is not a strictly religious school. This is just a state school. The nearest one we have.
I asked the head mistress to excuse my girls from praying each morning in assembly. I was refused. Why? My children are five years old! Too young to decide which side of the fence they are on. I don't preach my atheism to my kids. So I don't appreciate the school preaching their faith to them. I want them to choose their own path.

I suppose my question is, was it wrong of me to ask them to excuse my children, or was it wrong of them to refuse my request?

So if there is a god, how can he send me to hell? Did he create me for that purpose? I find the idea of religion ridiculous? Why am I created this way? Surely he must have known this. Any help??

I have asked many questions as to why if god is so loving he creates evil and punishes his "creation" and many christians say its the same with having children - you know they will disobey you but you still love them.....

i am a parent and I can think of nothing more abhorrent than punishing my child with death and eternal torture,so why is this supposed to be a good analogy?

Do you believe god(s) does not exist, or do you not believe that god(s) exists?

The Bible mentions that it travelled and then stopped for the Magi. How would that work since stars don't do that kind of thing?

Was it from God or Satan? I have heard both.

Something of that magnitude and magnificence would be hard for the rest of the world to miss, so why was it not recorded in secular history?

The people who run the Republican Party have done a very effective job in rallying Christian voters around a few key issues, but If the average Christian voter were to take the time to understand the "Big Picture", they would realize they are supporting much that is contradictory to the true teachings of Jesus???

Evolutionists who reject God and miracles have three huge problems to explain.

Problem No. 1
How did the universe come about?
There is no scientific law that allows something to evolve from nothing. If there was nothing in the universe to begin with, obviously nothing could happen to cause anything to appear.

Atheistic evolutionists often try to duck this problem by saying that evolution is not concerned with the origin of life, only how life progressed after it appeared. But if you can't get something from nothing, it's pointless thinking you can accurately explain the next step. Juggle the figures any way you like, but without a Creator you are not going to get anything, let alone everything.

Sometimes, I get so flustered with many of the diseases and mental illnesses, I crave for the presence of the Lord to rest on me. I want to see folk healed. I would love to pray for those with HIV or AIDS. Am I wasting my time?

Witches and satanists, I already know how you think, so you do not have to repond. Keep in mind, I did say the presence of the Lord.

I started this question within my church small group and it really stirred everyone up. It seems people really feel strongly about this. I would prefer any answers to be backed up by scripture. Many felt that if intelligent alien life did exist, that the Bible would be false.

The 2nd Iraq war was started by Bush Jr. on the false pretext of existence of WMD in Iraq. Iraq was invaded, its president and his relatives and top leaders have been killed, thousands of army men and innocent civilians have been killed. And as a fallout , many retaliatory suicide acts by iraqi guerrillas have been killing many every day.

If the war was started on the FALSE PRETEXT, then responsibility of these killings also must be fixed & trials should be done just the same as done for Hitler & nazis.

What are Christian views on dinosaurs. Since they lived 27 million(something like that) years ago, and the earth is only 6000 years old (according to the bible). Are dinosaurs real?

I've never been interested in seeming only being but have discovered after being apart of this q/a forum for a considerable length of time that many simply ask a question in the hopes that people will give them answers akin to their already preconceived thought on the subject. This is just plain dumb and counter productive to the persuit of truth an knowledge.

In short... I dont get it...

Saul of Tarsus was not the most reliable witness: Why do Christians instantly believe his vision of Christ? and why do they now follow Paul's interpretation of his vision instead of the teachings of Jesus?
this is not me having a go, this is me trying to understand why Christians follow the teachings of man of whom never met their God.

In the case of "Yes, I would die in support of my religious beliefs but only in the (perhaps unlikely) event that it was deemed absolutely necessary, or if my god hero wanted me to for some mysterious holy reason" then aren't you just a walking psychopath suicide bomber nuclear war starter waiting to happen? I mean aren't you just one "I heard Jesus in my head," away from creating a giant disaster?

The Didache (also known as The Teaching of the Twelve Disciples) gives specific instructions on such things as Holy Baptism and the Eucharist. In other words, what is written clears up a lot of the things Christian denominations fight about. The problem is that it wasn't discovered until the 19th century, and it's a composite work, so there's no definite way of knowing who wrote it. But some say the earliest parts of the Didache were written around 50 AD, which would make it even older than the Synoptic Gospels. Should it then be added to the Bible? Why or why not? And if it were, how much difference would it make in the Church? Would there not be more unity?

Here is one English translation:

What would trigger this? Do people revert back to some hidden primitive innate spiritual side when death is near?

For instance, I bet some of those people fleeing for their lives from the California fires are praying, when they have never prayed before. Do they just expect God to help them now, because they are in trouble? Is this how people think God works?
