Some troll asked the other day why, if we were atheists, we didn't just commit suicide, because our lives were ultimately meaningless.

My reply was that I was looking forward to taking my son to his school bazaar on Saturday morning, somewhere nice for lunch with the family, then have friends visit in the evening; a swim with the children this morning and maybe somewhere this afternoon, we haven't decided yet - all of which has been very nice so far. But it saddened me that anyone could judge life to have meaning ONLY if it concluded with eternal joy, luxury and comfort, and none of the things that make being human interesting.

Why does it take ABSOLUTE perfection to give life any meaning? Why isn't that a selfish expectation?

If God sent an angel to tell you that if you travel to a certain place on the oppisite side of the world to get Him an expensive double bacon cheese burger and return back and put it in X location;

In return God promises to take to immediately take you to heaven;no more earthly existence,no death,no judgement,just straight to Heaven.

Would you act on faith and do it?

please answer this: here in Louisville Ky they recently decided that homosexual teachers are cool in the jefferson county school system(as i said earlier Kentucky is getting better in many respects). many xtians have a problem with that.

here's my question: do you xtians also still believe that blacks shouldn't be allowed to mix with whites or that women shouldn't work outside of the home?

I state that there is no such thing as "supernatural".

now, this does not, in the way that I am saying it, mean that the things people call supernatural, do not exist. (well, some do not, but alot of it is real too)

how can I belive both of these things, it seems rather obviously contradictory?

well, this is an issue of defining "supernatural" the word itself would mean that its outside of the natural world. and this is inaccurate. or rather, it would be more accurate to say that the computer your using to read this, is more "supernatural" than say, ghosts.

how? if you were to accept that ghosts existed, would they not be a phenomena in the natural course of things?
computers sure aren't "natural" in that sense.

would it change anything, for those who don't "believe" in the "supernatural", if it was in fact, merely an extension of nature that is entirely beyond the current scope of science?

The only answer an atheist will ever give you goes something like this:

You don't have any physical proof of what you are saying. I've never seen this God you are talking about so he must not exist.

Guess what, I've never seen China, so it must not exist either.

why should we believe what desert tribal rulers say about human sexuality and reject modern knowledge that comes from highly advanced brains?

These religious books that condemn homosexuality are the very same books that condones the subjugation of women, child marraiges, rape, polygamy and slavery

why should i believe some outdated religious book over modern medical knowledge?

Hear Me Out First.

And please answer with sense. I'm asking a legitimate question.
I mean what is the use of providing food, shelter and cable tv. The general things for them, if there is no chance for them getting out ever and leading a normal life. There are just going to die in there so what's the use of keeping them alive in prisons?

Same with the mentaly ill, why keep them on this earth, if they are typically of no use.

Why not make them useful as test subjects because that is the only way we will every know if a certain drug works on humans. And there is a surplus. of them. I mean think of all we could really learn if tested on humans. Think of how far science could advance.

Please give a reasonable answer, as to why or why not.

Also if you are offended I cry your pardon.

John's Gospel says that by Jesus' miracles, he revealed his glory. Post resurrection, John says that by these records we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Do the miracles also support the belief that Jesus was also Son of Man? What do the miracles tell us?

If someone said they saw a building made of brick and glass that was colored yellow,white and brown and it had a big pole with a golden loking M atop of it;you sure would believe them wouldnt you?

If a man said he witnessed a person get hit by a racecar and the person was covered in blood from head to toe,from front to back,you certainly would believe Him wouldnt you?

If a lady ran to you and said she witnessed a horse standing on his front two legs,you would believe her would you not?

If someone told you that they say a plethera of colors flash and blaze accross the sky.You would believe them wouldnt you?

Even if you werent present when the event happened,you still would believe theese people;or am I mistaken?
Weather from the past,present or even the future,if you would believe people that said the things up above.Why wont you believe a person that's say God is real,that they've honestly experienced God&that He's good,He's merciful,He's forgiving&that He's worthy of

suppose you go to see a Disney movie and yet the whole schtick is just too maudlin, too absurd to stomach and you go out to blow chunks. Do you then decide to NEVER SEE ANY MOVIES AGAIN because you think that's all there is to movies? Obviously the fundamentalists view of religion is naive at best, immature and dangerous at worst. But the universe ISN'T a dichotomy of fundamentalists on one side and absolute athiesm on the other. Why don't you keep exploring?

Homosexuals and lesbians are religion's most hated. They are followed by women who want equality and non-believers.

Is there something hidden, inherent in all religions, where a god of sorts watching over you implies his preference towards you, meriting bigotry towards others? Or is this simply human group behaviour?

Please share your thoughts.
