Nobody takes visions from modern, educated people seriously, so what's the deal? Charles Manson was just as believable as Moses, and didn't cause the murders of nearly as many people, so why aren't they seen as equal?

How would you like to live in a country that chose a national religion that was not your own, and you were forced to attend those churches or not get any of the benefits of citizenship. Would this become intolerable? Would you choose to leave rather than to comply?

Rather than: there is a power behind it that makes it what it is? An unobservable reality which is NOT one of the observed facts, but rather, that which makes them, and no mere observation of facts (the scientific method) can find it? Is it possible?

why is it that anyone who believes in anything is gay
and anyone who criticizes everything is praised as revolutionary?

Just to mention a few, sikhism, islam, judaism, christianity, Greek mythology - all had/have their own gods. And that is only a few to mention. We already know that most, if not all, are false and made up. Even if we know that SOME are wrong, we learn one thing: Humans have a tendency to invent gods. Therefore, I ask: Why do you think yours is right?

How do you know Apollo is not the true God? Or that Hasem is not, or Nanak,etc, etc. Every person you argue with will tell you that their God is right, and they too have "evidence" for it. If you were to argue with a Greek person in 1900 BC about their gods they would have laughed at you if you said they were imaginary. People do delude themselves. And you are not deluded, of course. But then the Greeks didn't think they were delusional either.

So, what makes YOU right, and EVERYBODY else wrong?

My claim is very simple: They are all wrong.

When I couldn't get a hold of my brothers in the faith, my atheist friend prayed with me. I asked him why he did that. He said, because your my friend. Does that make him a weak atheist. Our prayers worked.

Some people try to push faith down your throat.e.g Christians,muslims and atheists try to force their own way of believing onto you?Should it not be a personal choice?Why do people feel the need to try to prove the existance of god or to prove that he does not exist?If they believe themselves that he does or does not is that not good enough for them?I myself do believe in god but I dont take part in the religion I was brought up with,.

I've heard that the name used by some secret societies is an alternate spelling of Jehovah, and that it can be traced back to the name of the devil.
If this is true, how can anyone be sure that any religion is true and good?

I understand how getting completely drunk is a sin, but is one glass of alcohol a sin? I have a friend who believes this. She says you're just as bad as someone who is getting drunk if you drink one drink.

I just turned 21, but I don't drink to get drunk. I don't even drink anything that has a lot of alcohol in it.. Like maybe a strawberry daiquiri or a pina colada. I'm not into getting drunk, because I have seen what that does to people.

Am I sinning against God?
What do you think?


Thanks in advance.

Is it moral for a man to drug two women or get them heavily drunk so that he can exploit them for his sexual fancies? I think what he did was wrong, but some people think i am saying it because I am jealous of them. See here, I am not saying that having one-night stands are wrong, but exploiting women on purpose by getting them drunk or drugged just to get them in bed is wrong because it is not 100% consensual - then why do the majority of people not agree with me? Please give me a logical answer whether what that man did was wrong or not.

P.S. I am not bringing god or religion into this question, just so that I could stand on a common ground with everyone here

I am 15 years old, and am a Catholic. This last year and half or so, being in high school, has been really tough for me. A lot of degrading name calling and being called gay and hurtful things like that just cut me down. I used to be really close to God and i understand he should be the most important thing in the world, but i just cant seem to get that to stick with me. These past events just make me doubt more and more that God isn't with me to guide me because i just feel completely useless. Can someone tell me ways to regain my faith because i dont know where to start and i believe that if i grow in faith my way of living will turn around.
