I am an Atheist.
I have no problem answering honest questions posed by those of faith. And I do not argue with people when they post honest questions. I even tried to help one lady find a more suitable church within driving distance.
But leading and argumentative questions.......I have done those myself.
And they deserve to responded to in the spirit in which they were asked.

There is no belief system in "know": John 8:32
Know the truth makes you free of belief systems.
Pure Religion makes you free of impure religions.
There's only belief systems in two Alternate Non-Realities.
Such are as if the left/right sides of plural heavens on high.
Alternate Non-Reality 1: OT Law: begin: fear hath torment
Alternate Non-Reality 2: NT Law: begin: sorrows have grief
Realtiy: NT Grace: No law = No sin and death = None perish
The Lord is longsuffering to us-ward so that none perish.
People speaking at the Virginia Tech Shootings memorial service say they wish they could awake from this night mare. The night mare they speak of is Alternate Non-Reality 2. Paul the Apostle called it evil concupiscence, and also noted the root source of it: "another law", "the second" in Mt 22:36-40, also the second in Romans 8:2 law law.
My religion: the "pure religion" of James 1:27.
It arrives "undefiled" and remains "unspotted",
in a come and go "visit"-ation to the "afflicted",
afflicted with a bad case of life + death = dead.
Solution: (Life + Death) - Death = Eternal Life.
Allegory: (Grace + Law) - Law = Eternal Grace.
For Grace cannot lie (law) nor die (law).
Grace neither tempts(laws) nor can be tempted(lawed).
POINT: "Grace" is neither of the two "law"s in Mt 22:36-40.
More Excellent: neither broadmindead nor narrowmindead.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

A) Yes I would encourage anyone who believed in something to do it full heartily! To have people believe in possibilities gives them the courage to speak words when one needs to hear them no matter what Honored Name is used the message we need to hear is there. If it works for them and it helps them become a better person then so be it! Of course I always try to help those that are confused or seem lost.. I love what I believe in but what works for me may not work for that person so I lead them to how I interpret what they are looking for and the rest is left up to them altho I am always there if they need a hand. That is what is meant to be!
B) I don't know if I want to categorized..it is very open!

Ya, for sure. Any religion is good as long as it gives purpose and drive to a person. I do not support the PEOPLE who take things out of context, though. My spiritual beliefs are those of the Gnostic religion.

I believe that everyone has the right to worship how, where, or what they want. I have many friends who have different religious beliefs than mine, and I find that wonderful. I have Muslim friends, Jewish friends, and Christian friends.
It is not up to me to judge someone's religious beliefs as right and wrong. I admire everyone who lives their religion.

Yes, it serves me to have people around me honest about what they want out of life and honestly pursuing it. I just may need to keep a safe distance, you see, people who think they chose their belief system need to know the truth of that. They were coerced at best.

B) Atheist.
A) No. While I'm all for letting people make up their own minds about everything, I would never encourage any form of irrationality. Let them believe in god or fairies or alien abductions if they want, but they'll get no validation from me.

I can accept any religion that is designed around the true God. The rest are badly misguided and made up of weak minded fanatics. They have the mind set "Do as I do or I will kill you".

absolutely. as a Jew, I don't want to encourage anyone to be a Jew. I want to encourage everyone to be good.
Now, whether I can encourage someone to follow a transcendent moral system which I don't believe in is another story.
