Sainthood is more like an honor after death. Enlightenment can be reached during one's life, so can change of heart. There is something like "complete change of heart." The Latin or Greek for this is "metanoia."

thank you for your time to read this, i understand we all have busy lives, i appreicaite the time you are tak

With rise of population, this spawns other beliefs’, principles’ and moral codes, is there a need for more state reprenstives in the senate, and congress. With increase of lobbyist and self interest groups, who force gray of products selling benefits without its moral, principles, belief prices.

America is based on independent thought, and acceptance of opinion in hopes of a belief of a greater good. But yet picking sides is a like choosing what is let of a double bladed sword based on own moral, principles’, and beliefs’. So where is the chair for the independent's in representive's for states, where is the middle, where is the gray, we live in the gray so where is it? 2 minds are better then one, but isn’t 3 minds better then 2.

They say they believe in miracles and when asked to do one they come up with some B.S reason why they wont
Is it that they wont or is it that they cant ?

I have given christians many chances to prove the power they have and not once did one ever do so .
When Ive been asked to prove my power I invite them to a ceremony and they wont come
What are they afraid of ?

Let's suppose that right now God proves to the world that he exists by doing something supernatural that will leave you doubtless of his presence. Would you worship Him or continue to live your life like you were living it before?

I mean, that’s why you keep coming back, isn’t it? You are all well aware that the religion section is the domain of atheists, surely the reason you tentatively register your presence here is so you can learn something, right? And that’s why you guys keep asking about evolution here instead of in the science section…

As an atheist, mine is:

"Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion"

This is a friendly question. I'm looking for answers from all in a non-judgemental way.
