i dont believe that there is no god, as equally as i dont believe there is a god.

Your thoughts ?

How will that effect religion? I know I'm being general. Will there be religous hybrids? How do western religions explain that God/Gods/LGM made the Earth? Will there be clashes? What are the chances that other civilizations also have monotheistic religions? Would religions have to rewrite themselves (becuase some only take Earth in consideration)? What else?

BALTIMORE - A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals out of a belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.

Church members routinely picket funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, carrying signs such as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."

So whether or not your for the war or against it, Religous or non-Religous, I'm pretty sure your not going to say the reason why we have wars is because we have homosexuals in our country and are tolerant.

Since the human brain is so big - sometimes causing female pelvics to break while giving birth - wouldn`t natural selection work against humans evolving to have bigger brains?

BTW - I`m an atheist that does not deny that evolution is a fact. This question is merely a gap in my understanding - it is not some creationists attempt to prove the theory wrong.

I regularly see people claim that if they were atheist they would act without a conscience. Why isn't this true for the majority of us atheists?
Could they be right? Are we not living life to the fullest? Are we holding ourselves back unnecessarily?

i mean we ask questions to athiest that open up the floor for them to blaspheme & mock God.when its obvious they really dont have or even want to have a clue about Jesus. Therefore becuase we know better does not give us the right to post questions to unbelivers &shake our heads and suck our teeth or even have the audacity to be offended when we already know what kind of answers these questions pose.
Case in point when you ask a question and put athiest on the main title they all gather to the question so they can make each other feel supported by the number of thumb up they give each other..that gives them validity..they use science and every other rightfully given free will to deny the existence of God. when Christians pose a question that we know is right we dont have to confirm it because we know no YA can cofirm or sway us from what we belive
My point is to be careful Christians & ask your self about motive when you pose antiatheist question lets get off our high horses & pray!

Not that all Atheists are bad I do believe that at all. But I find it hard to believe that some preachers believe in God and Hell and still preach the way they do. Any comments?

I personally believe god was made up by people who new no better like 1000's of yrs ago and am amazed people still devote and restrict their lives (ok not really that amazed), you only live once and all that so the thought of wasting your whole life following few 1000 yr old story makes me think believers are dillusional. I think the bible is a story book/guide written by lots of people who new very little like 2000 yrs ago

"The difference between a believer and a scientist is if proof of god was given to the scientist he would then believe, whereas if proof that god did not exist was given to the believer he would still believe" Badly quoted

Real answers are found with science, not all but advanced technolgy is still relatively new, but at least it is fact, it explains us

Must add, i dont think belief is bad and i think it can help people lead very healthy lives, but alot of wars and violence is caused by religon i can't help but think people need 2 open their eyes

I understand the concept of pity. I know fundamentalist Christians do too, which I why I know tears would be shed while witnessing kindhearted and loving non-believers to all things human, slowly decending into an eternity of unimaginable suffering in Hell. "Roasted alive for eternity on Satan's BBQ" seems to be a common description for life in the underworld by the faithful.

Pity is cheap, I don't want your pity. I want people to stand up and say in a loud commanding voice to God "Thou shalt not torture the undeserving!"

If you are familiar with the replicator on Star Trek, which can arrange molecules to a specific form, or the transporter, which probably works on the same fictional principle, tell me what you think.
Will mankind (or womankind for you who are up tight about words) ever advance technology to the level that this thing will be possible?
I find it hard to believe. You?

Seems like I heard that was banned. I wonder why. Heck. I ain't gonna use it. Why can't I sell it at a yard sale or something? If christians want me to go to heaven why don't they give me a couple hundred for it and take it to heaven with theirs? Why can I sell a kidney but not a soul?

"I believe these are real...I personally have seen, been pushed, and had someone or something call my name twice...Not all at once, years apart, but I know these pictures are not phony, and if they are, I still know that these things exist. I feel sorry for those who do not believe. I guess its one of those things, u have to see to believe."

I want to be God's son even if its only to clean the toilets if there are any in heaven but i have a very bad drinking problem.Every day i seem to have to drink ,not to get drunk (i try to avoid that) but just to ease & relax. I dont feel comfortable about & i dont want people to condone it & say aw you are okay.I feel i'm made for better service to God but @ the same time i feel i have let Him down in many ways & i want to do better & overcome this snag in my life.I say,do & even have done every sin in the bible except kill someone & i may have been a promoter of that as i look back.I'm not afraid of God but i am afraid of me, because God is fair & just and i'm very weak & sinful in deed & thought this bothers me very much.
