And what about the rest?

Question

Most people are solid on a few areas of their core beliefs (This is speaking of Atheism, Christianity, or whatever religion you are). But there are a few gaps, holes, areas where they just don't have an answer. State your religion and then give me a few points that you can't really come up with an answer for. Things that are just impossible to explain. Don't argue about other entries: Just give me YOUR feedback. Example (and my entry): "I believe in Christianity, but it's hard for me to logically put together a superior being that can communicate simultaneously with millions of people all across the world, answer their prayers, and still have time to hold all the universe together." Your turn.

Answer 1

I have only one area of my Christian faith that astounds me every time,how and why God puts up with us,if we could only see the complete picture of sin commited daily it would sicken us I`m sure and God keeps giving us chance after chance,and people still berate Him.

Answer 2

I am an atheist/agnostic. I don't know how life came into being or how the universe began. I think it is a false dichotomy though to say because we don't know it must be God. Also, to think that if the creation of life or the universe did require a God they would necessarily be the God that the particular religion is supposing. I think our notion of God is man created and all the religions I have studied (with the possible exceptions of Taoism and Buddhism which are more like philosophy) are pretty much completely implausible. I do leave room for some notion of God that is very different, natural, and nonpersonal.

Atheism itself is not a religion to me. Religion to me is faith without evidence whereas atheism is lack of faith without evidence.

Answer 3

I'm Atheist, and I'm also a philologist with a Master in Sumero-Akkadian history and cuneiform writings; I'm telling you this because by virtue of my knowledge I have all the answers; every explanation is right there, in the past, in ancient clay tablets written around 5000 years ago; once you read them, everything adds up: 'the missing link, the 'creation', the 'Bible', 'Satan', 'The Dark Ages', 'the reason why', 'the how and when', 'the purpose', 'the DNA', 'the most advanced technology our Planet has ever seen', EVERYTHING is right there, and leaves no room for the slightest doubt;)
