I admire christians and I kind of consider myself on the loop. I think christianity is good for moral values and spreading about GOD.

I am not understanding maybe, yet for the ten commandments why do people pick and choose what is what. Like thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not cheat thou shalt not steal. these ARE apart of the ten commandments. Why do people continue with disobeying it? Yet these same people are against lesbians and gays which is a hypocracy in itself don't you think? i'm not gay but I wonder what you think.

Just wondering. not trying to fight i want a decent argument please no GOD made adam and eve not adam and steve, GOD also made other animals that are nothing like us. We can not procreate with them maybe we can i dont want to know but the point is.Things evolve don't they. just as man.

Does it exist? Either spiritually or in the everyday world? Does truth exist only in context? If someone believes something that can not be proven or proven to be false isn't it true for them?
Answer the question as it is written please. Atheist P.O.V. appreciated as is all others.

(Please read, I really am going somewhere with this.)

If so, which Elvis did you prefer? Did you like young, skinny, sexy, hip-swaying Elvis, or did you prefer older, bloated, drugged up Elvis who died on a toilet?

My guess would be that, for most, they would prefer the former, regardless of their belief. Why? Because it's prettier, and much better to remember and embrace. That said, the older, bloated Elvis, while sad and ugly, is still a part of the Elvis story.

This is how many atheists, myself included, feel that Christians should view not only the Bible, but Christian history. You cannot choose to only embrace the parts that make you feel good, you must at least acknowledge the horrors within the Scriptures, as well as the atrocities committed by Christians in the name of God over the years.

I will be very curious to see who, among the believers, will see my point here.

Bushra Noah, a devout Muslim, was turned down for a job by the Wedge salon in Kings Cross. She is suing the salon for religious discrimination. Salon owner Sarah Desrosiers says she turned down the woman to maintain the image of her salon. She is now being sued for 15,000 pounds. Ms Desrosiers says that her stylists are required to show their own hairstyles to maintain the 'urban funky' image. It transpires that Miss Noah, who says she has always wanted to be a hairdresser, has now been rejected 25 times. Does this fact tell you something? Or is she right to sue over the grounds she is using? Miss Desrosiers did ask her if she was willing to work without the headscarf and she refused, saying it was part of her religion. Do you think she would have got the job if she had agreed to remove it whilst working?

Dear God,

I'm writing to say I'm sorry for being angry yesterday. When you seem to ignore me and things did not go my way.

Tell me have you ever thought that God was not listening?

Before christianity a religion thats approx 2000 years old, and islam approx 1400 years old, and also many of the other northern hemisphere religions, what religion was they ?

just because a few books that were written a long long time ago, that dictated a way of life, and political existence, does not mean we have to adhere to them.

Most of the religious crap that some of you weirdos follow because your brainwashed was written at a time in history when eclipses were seen to be omens, and someone with an idea was either mad or seen as a leader.

I hate religion and believe it should only be kept in your homes or church, and none of what goes on in your homes or churches should be allowed to spill out into the mainstream of the public eye.

I do not want this,,,,, and nor do many other people.

why is that you called your god as your father? Did everyone gonna make God as their father since Jesus did that? I'm not going to talk much about Jesus as "the son of god" here, Its about Christian who think they were children of god..so why?

I have to wonder if they are afraid of losing their faith. I do not see people terrified of those who believe in UFOs, or children believing in the tooth fairy.

Given the traditional view of heaven and my beliefs now:

Too many people, too much trouble, too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble, another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over.
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.

Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.

Each day a new reason to give up, each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up, a hundred thousand ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over.
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older.
