Since the justification for atheism seems to be that, since God is not measurable (or at least has not been measured), does it stand to reason that gravitation waves, which are predicted by General Relativity, also do not exist since they have not been measured (despite methods devised and constructed to do so)?

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

Who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way

A new world order is about to emerge on the political and economic scene. Nothing like it has occurred on earth for the past 3000 years. It will be a system of government that is based on different concepts than the ones we have been used to over the past three millennia-http://www.askelm.com/prophecy/p900601.htm
Thoughts?

I am getting her a quad, I think, for her baptism. I would like to have it inscribed w/her name. It would have to be from somewhere on-line. If you know of any place I can can order from, it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you beleive this wouldn't that mean you have more power than Christ? Or that God's plan of defeating Satan at the cross was not perfect? God's word says once we believe we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. If that is so, how can we lose it? What sat you?

I'm an atheist. I've been married twice. Both of the women I married claimed to believe in God and said they were Christian. Both of them cheated on me with other men who also claimed to believe in God.

The woman I am presently seeing is Catholic, and has twice had romantic relationships in the past with married men. I've never cheated, and none of the atheists I know have cheated either. But several of my "God fearing" friends have had affairs. I've also noted that my atheist friends lie less, & are more forgiving and tolerant of other people's choices and lifestyles.

This is not to say that I don't know Christians who struggle daily to remain true to their faith. But why should it be such a struggle?

In short, I don't generally use anectdotal evidence to formulate general opinions, but it seems to me that the ideals of Christianity tend to be more easily followed by people who don't believe in God. Has anybody else noticed this?

Seriously.

Am I crazy? The prevailing attitude will be that I am nuts and belong in a mental institution. Why? How is it different today than it was back when the Bible was written?

My b/f s family is Jehovah witness and they keep telling me that my life is wrong and it pisses me off they pressure me to go to meetings and book study and read awake and watchtower. I am open to anything but I do not appreciate being pressured! They tell me everything I believe is wrong, they don’t even know because they don’t take the time to ask me what I do believe. They want my son to be a Jehovah witness. I am all for my son believing in god, but they say the man is the one in charge of making the final decision and if my b/f wants him to be Jehovah witness that is what he will be. That’s a bunch of crap.

I was just talking to my sister this morning, and we were discussing some spiritual things. I was just wondering if this happens to other people? I will give an example from my own life.
I was driving in my car, listening to a really good Christian song which I love. I was praising God with all of my heart. All of a sudden, I felt myself outside myself, and I was actually "soaring" above in the air, and I felt so light as a feather, and so joyful, I don't have human words to describe it. Has anyone else ever felt this way? This isn't the only time I've experienced this. It has happened several times to me. I could actually feel myself flying through the air.

I can see how wind changes and effects things. I can see how wind moves things even though I cant see it. If I close myself away from the wind, I no longer feel it but I know it is still there. Why is experiencing God and the way he changes, effects, moves and heals, even though you can not see him, not enough for some people to believe that he exists?

Assuming we survive Christianity, what is your estimate on how long it will be until it is merely studied and not practiced?

Feel free to speculate.

In christianity, you must accept Jesus as your personal lord and savior and let him guide your life in all ways. If you don't, even if you lead a good life, you will spend eternity in hell (lake of fire). Do muslims believe this to be true as well? Do muslims believe in a heaven (paradise with God) or hell (lake of fire)? If so what is your heaven and hell like in comparison to the Christian one? Thank you! **Oh, and please explain your salvation!

I can see in the Constitution, that we are not a 'Christian' nation, and not Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. I can't find the part that say's we are atheist, agnostic, deist, etc...

Do atheist wish that we were an atheist nation, and do atheist want laws against religion?
