The first and second book of adam and eve alone is much much more interesting than whats found in genesis. That version just makes more sense.

Like how Cain and Abel were each born with a twin sister.

People have a free will but then they always say it's God's will that counts in the end.

Why did Alma not know when Christ was coming (Alma 13:21-26) even though he possessed plates and Lehi and Nephi had written precisely when he would arrive?

For those of you who do not embrace organized religion, what book gives you hope, inspires you, sums up your views on life, draws you in again and again?

Mine is Contact by Carl Sagan, because of his ability to express the importance of wonder and awe in all its forms.

The argument that all of religion should be condemned by atheists (including religious moderates and liberals) has been made by a couple of prominent figures now, including Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins.

The idea is that religious fundamentalists validate religious extremists, that moderates validate fundamentalists, and that liberals validate moderates (see Harris' 'concentric circles' argument below).

Does this argument hold water?

Atheists and agnostics: should we buy this argument? Is it of the 'slippery slope' form (if so, is that okay)? Should we regard moderates no differently than religious extremists, or should we be tolerant of anyone not actively violent and oppressive?

Religious moderates: do tolerant religious people create a 'cultural shield' for religious extremists? If so, is there something that the average religious moderate can do about it?

I don't get it. Why waste your valuable and terminal trial of existence when you could be enjoying your life instead. What will it make any difference to you after you die? Personally what I believe is that you're all scared there is no God, so you argue that there isn't a God in hopes of being proved wrong. Remember that with each day you do not believe in God, you are that much closer to eternal torment. Believe.

I just read it, and I think it's one of the more interesting and enlightened biblical texts I have ever read. I am spiritual, but I am not a Christian. I was one for 16 years. What bothers people so much about it?

If the abrahamic definition of heaven and hell exists please tell me how it is going to be so wonderful in heaven knowing that people are "burning in hell". Wouldn't the knowledge of that affect the joy you would experience in heaven?

It deeply affects me knowing that people starve to death amongst other horrible things people suffer around the globe.

I can't wrap my head around this one but I am willing to listen to your thoughts and learn.

Peace and thank you.

I do not believe that God is that biblical monster because a deity would not have human flaws like jealousy and insecurity.


Isn't it funny how so many fundies have only the mental capacity to see black and white? If you don't believe in the biblical monster you must be an atheist.

I am not an atheist.

Have you ever noticed? The same people that hate God and christians always love immorality and condone the murder of unborn children.

Is this a coincidence or is it a revelation about the mentality/spirituality of these God hating and christian hating people?
