Center your search on Psalm 110. Seek and ye shall find. I still don't know the answer as I just walked in from school. I haven't looked it up yet, but the one with the answer has given me this clue and now I give it to you. Good searching, as I am getting ready to do the same.

Atheists simply don't believe in any gods. They may regard theism as nonsense, or they may simply not care. They may regard religion as harmful and religious institutions as dangerous, or they may not care. Atheists are all different, and simply knowing that someone is an atheist does not entitle one to make assumptions about their opinions regarding religion, politics or anything else for that matter.

Do Atheists celebrate Christmas? Please don't tell me that Christmas isn't a Christian holiday, I am well aware of that. It is however a Pagan holiday, which makes it a religious holiday. Why is it okay to celebrate a Pagan holiday, but be against anything "religious".

I was thinking about maybe going door to door and leaving a little card in the crack with a picture of a guy watching tv. The subcaption would be something like "It's your Sunday, enjoy it!... find out how at, godisimaginary.com"

You know what I mean. I was thinking about a television ad too... something entertaining and informational at the same time.

Christmas? Do you really want to take away all of the fun an joy 90%+ Americans have while celebrating this holiday? Are you really that selfish? (NOT ALL, JUST THE ATHEISTS WHO WHINE ABOUT CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ON GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC PROPERTIES)

Look at so many of the answers by other atheists. You complain that christians are judgemental and intolerant and so many atheists actually agree with this kind of thinking. Please restore my faith in the normal everyday atheist out there and tell me you cant really think like this.

If you have Theist friends do you actively try to get them to become Atheist? Or do you just keep your views to yourself unless they ask you about them?
I myself only talk about it if they ask me questions about it.

Alright, them's fightin' words when you Christians start calling us non-religious folk "swine."

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071112190627AAvBaQw&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMiDBcUrk9YF1MPhMnL3npBhQFh4Sn05IH2A--&paid=answered#Ab5RWk_uMmgk1hxphMxV

Get it str8! We're not "non-believers!" We're non-fanatic, non-agnostiphobic, non-fundamentalist, non-religious. But NOT non-believers! That slur makes atheists and agnostics sound like the little party-pooper neighbour kids who won't get into the spirit of the game of pirates or Robin Hood, but instead keep telling all the other rug-rats, "That's NOT a real pirate ship! That's just a dumb laundry basket!"
(Oh wait. We ARE those kids who burst the other kiddies' pretty bubbles!) ((My bad.))

But I repeat! We're not pigs! If we're swine just because we won't convert, then you've gotta be something too! You guys are ... bandicoots! Or gophers.

Joking aside, why be so rude? "Swine" is harsh.

WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :

New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !

Since the Pledge of Allegiance
and
The Lord's Prayer
are not allowed in most
public schools anymore
Because the word "God" is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona wrote the poem below

NEW School prayer :
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

Does USA still trust in God?

The Lord is ALWAYS good to me. Every single day when he wakes me up. When he puts food on the table. When he gives me health and strength to go to work. When he allows us to pay our bills.

Thank you Jesus!

Why do so many people believe that we are going to heaven after death when the Bible clearly states at Psalms 37: 29 ' The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it'

or at least wait until they are an adult and really love and respect someone? Or do they tell their child it is ok to screw around, because it is natural? Why not? What would stop their 13 year old from having sex as long as she was on birth control and used condems?

So I just asked this question, but I didn't get my question across right. For those who have answered the other one, sorry about that.
So my second attempt:

If Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden around 4000 BC (an approximation, not an exact date), they would have told their children about the One God. As with religions, after being raised on the God of the Garden of Eden, a religion would have started nearly immediately.
However, Yahweh was not mentioned again until around 1800 BC (again, not an exact date, but pretty close). IF the stories in the OT were passed down from the children of Adam and Eve, why did it take so long for the religion (or even the idea of monotheism) to start?
If written tradition started around 3000 BC, why did the stories (that had to have been prevalent for the idea of Oral Tradition to actually work) wait until 1300 BC to be written down?
My question is, if these stories started from the beginning of time, why did they take so long to be heard?

According to classical Greek religion, Chaos existed in the beginning, and then gave birth to Gaia (the Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), Eros (desire), Nyx (the darkness of the night) and Erebus (the darkness of the Underworld). I know you might be dissuaded by the all the mythical creatures mentioned in our Holy texts such as the hydra and the gorgon (medusa) but they can obviously be translated to dinosaurs. See the word dinosaur was coined in the 1800s so the Greeks didn't have the exact word to describe all the giant reptiles.

So why don't you atheists accept creationism!?
