Christians know what they believe and don't allow anything else (just "religious" stuff, nothing scientific) into their thought process. Atheists know what they believe, and don't let anything else (just scientific stuff, but nothing "religious") into their thought process either. stop calling us close-minded just because we don't believe like you. because using that logic, your also close-minded because you don't belive like us.

I always hear them say that they know god loves them, or that they know the bible is right, or they know that they found jesus, etc. This is ridiculous. I want hard evidence. I know my fiance loves me because she has confronted me and told me so. I know my car works because I drive it to work.

The spiritual explanation is useless. These christians constantly say that they know this and that. Honestly, how do you know? Had God personally gotten in your face and said that he loves you? Has jesus showed up on your doorstep and told you that he died for your sins?

And let's not forget the bible. If it was so authoritive and factual, why isn't non fiction stamped on it's spine? How can you say that it is a factual book? I am being serious. I actually want to know what makes you people so set on believing these things. This is part of the reason why I am an atheist. No one can give me any proof that anything about religion is right.

God is a God of Hope!
When we put our hopes in Him, we can see Him working. It says in the bible that He will give us the desires of our heart! How Awesome and Amazing is that?! We cannot hang our hopes on money or another person or even earthly opportunities. We will never be satisfied. There will always be that empty chamber in our heart that needs to be filled. And there are so many people out there that feel that emptiness and they do not even know what it is. Little do they realize it is because they have been hanging there hopes on earthly things instead of our Heavenly Father.It is so easy to see good things that are happening in our lives and bypass God and look to other things. many people stop and forget to thank God. They do not put their hopes in Him and trust that God is in control and He knows what He is doing.
The bible says that God made this earth and everything in it. It also says that we are His highest creation on this earth. We are His masterpiece!

Any one or anything that wanted one must surely be very bad and evil. We can all agree on that surely?

Everything that's happening right now, has happened before and will happen in the future is the decision of God. Man brings his own fortune or his own disaster by his deeds, but behind every tragedies there is much to learn.

So, if you had the chance, a chance you are not sure is accepted by God as the right choice, would you interfere in your future or mingle with your past?

i would choose Islam. they are the only ones who are actually personally affecting me in a negative way. killing my uncle in the 9/11 attacks and my brother overseas (suicide bomber). the atheists, sure, i don't agree with them, but they studied and concluded what they believe and i respect that. same with Hindus. actually, on yahoo answers is the only time i even came across atheists and hindus. so they don't bother me. but if you could pick 1 religion in the entire would that you had the power to just wipe out completely, what would it be and why?

How can you not be terrified by this? Is God to blame for the sensationalist media and the human mind that reacts to sensationalism? Is God to blame for making the Great White?

Out of curiousity are the two related or similar? I know that each has a different founder, but am curious to what their beliefs are and why they seem so secretive. I believe Kirsty Alley, John Travolta, and Tom Cruise are apart of Christian Science. Any clarifications?

Judges 11:29 to 39

Why did God accept this human burnt offering? Why would anyone (Jephthah) make a promise to God to sacrifice the first thing that would come out of the door of his house to meet him? What did he expect to come out besides a human?

This may get a bit wordy, so please excuse that...
I was thinking this morning, how are people and animals alike? How are we different?
Now, I know that people are animals, mammals, primates. So what separates us from different species? An extra fold or two in our brains? Opposable thumbs? A face conducive to speech? Could it be morals? Do other animals have morals?
I know that animals have behaviors based on instinct, the instinct being what is best for survival of the species. Those that don't follow the rules are outcast, or killed, removed from the gene pool...which got me thinking about prisons, mental institutions, and why people are removed from society. Because they behave in ways that are not beneficial to the pack. Which sounds an awful lot like morality.
This made me realize that when you question a person's morality, it's so offensive because you are questioning their suitability to be part of the people pack. Their suitabilty to reproduce, to be.
Thoughts?
