Should we do it 24/7? Should we let our children know we are afraid? She we teach them to be afraid too? (Doesn't sound nice or practical!)

Although most people say that there is no evidence to support the existence of God, why do you not realize that "no evidence" does not automatically mean "doesn't exist"?
Unless you claim to have absolute knowledge of the universe, you cannot say definitely that God exists. Can you also explain the following?

1. All things must have a creator ( watches have watchmakers, animals have parents, etc...)
2. If all things have creators, that means the universe should also have a creator, seeing as something cannot spontaneously give rise to itself.
3. Therefore, an force outside of the bounds of the universe created it.
4. This must be supernatural and not bound by laws of physics in order to defy law of conservation of energy

So, how do atheists, without proper knowledge, say, "it was NOT God. It could have been anything EXCEPT God..." without commiting the logical fallacy of ad argumentum infinitum?

In case you didn't already know, the mutaween, a.k.a the "Virtue police", enforce Sharia ("Islamic" law.)

Some of the things which Mutaween arrest people for are:
- Unrelated males and females caught socializing
- Not conforming to Islamic dress-codes
- Selling or eating pork
- Selling or using alcohol
- Not closing your store during the "prayer times"
- Posession of consumer products and media regarded as un-Islamic (such as CDs/DVDs of various Western musical groups, television shows and film).
- Public display of non-Islamic worship
- Evangelism (other than Islam)

In May 2007 a man alleged to have alcohol in his home was arrested and reportedly beaten to death by the Mutaween members in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

15 girls confined by Mutaween in burning building, because they weren't wearing headscarves and black robe, died in the fire @ Mecca

Do you think these kinds of things would happen in USA or UK, if Islam took over?

No one would argue that Buddha and Jesus were two of the most righteous men in history. Both were highly respected and worshipped even now that they are long gone.

Buddha was never claimed as possessing supernatural powers or capable of performing miracles; He was rather known for His indepth morality and kind soul.

Jesus was known for His supernatural powers and the miracles He was capable of performing.

When we look at these two great men we must wonder who indeed was the more righteous man.

Buddha was a real person and no one would disclaim His actual existence. His doings would neither be disclaimed as they were no miracles.

Jesus on the other hand is still ambigious in terms of His actual identity. He probably existed, but was He as people claimed Him to be as? Was He just a man but portrayed as a God?

Matt 7:17-18
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
(KJV)

Take into account the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles about Commandments of Men & Idolatry, plus the 1675 year history of the Catholic Church.

He was interviewed on the Skeptics Guide to the Universe this week. He's a physics student who also happens to rap about skeptical and atheist subjects. Check out his videos on YouTube.
