Can we just agree today that we are all Human and just have civilized discussions without resorting to useless arguments and name-calling? Anybody want to try and see how it goes? Just 1 Day?

Oh, I would like that very much. Just ONE day would beg for more. But it would be nice if we could just agree to disagree, if you understand what I mean. We all have differences. Even within the religious community, there are variances that lead to dissension. I would like it if we could all speak to each other without that animous that seems to dog the dogmatic.
Here you deserve a star for your efforts!

First of all, I think this whole concept of God originated to let people understand that there is something bigger than they can see or understand. And it works regardless of your beliefs or non beliefs. God is in you and me and a flower and a stone. I personally avoid any debates on God’s existence in general and avoid using the term “God” because some people tend to get the adverse reaction. This term has been misused and misinterpreted too much as is. I use the word Universal Intelligence or Laws, but I mean the same thing. Also, an atheist can sense God’s (Universal) rules and follow them better than an official God believer. It is not crucial what we call it; it is about understanding that we all obey some rules or laws, like laws of Nature; only there are some invisible ones that have not been discovered by science yet. So, good point by 'Fugitivea...', but I think that true idea of God was originally meant to make people get a sense of those unseen laws and principles and act according to them. There is one truth, and atheists and theists sometimes seem to talk about the same thing, but from different angles... On a funny note: A father is convincing his daughter to get married to a guy who is asking her hand in marriage. The daughter says, “But Dad, I don’t want to marry him. He is an atheist! He does not even believe there is such a thing as Hell…” Father to a daughter, “Honey, don’t you worry about that part. You just marry him. And then you and your mother will show him firsthand what Hell feels like.”

Agree that we are all human? So, you are a humanist and probably a heathen as well. Pick up the good Book now, and read Luke(Cool Hand) 5:14&1/2. And what do you have against useless arguements and name-calling(your mother wears army boots)? This is what gets me through the day. I have to get off the keyboard now, God is on another line.

I have had several days of peace by not even bothering to respond in this section.
I would suppose that it's a fact of life here that there are those people who just live to "negatively" Troll Yahoo Answers or the Internet no matter what the issues.
That's kind of like picking up a hitchhiker and expecting them to be like you before they get in your car.

You know that wouldn't be any fun!!!!!
j/k - but all jokes aside, NO, I don't think it's possible and just suggesting such will put you in danger of being trolled relentlessly and being reported.
Kudos to you! I will try to be more peaceful for the rest of the day than I was earlier with my last question.

I wish that would happen, that's where conflicts and wars stemmed from. but a day of peace in R&S is quite impossible. besides, there will no fun at all.
It just wouldn't be R&S anymore, and there won't be any questions.LOL

I can't believe you're proposing this after your last question about addiction.
You SPECIFICALLY excluded atheists telling them you don't need to hear what they have to say.
You antagonize a group of people then ask us to all 'get along'??
And by the way.... 'Little Tricky' isn't atheist, she's agnostic and if you believe as she does, then you're NOT christian!
So.... you're really full of contradictions now, aren't you?

I think the debate, is what R&S is all about, if we didn't argue then we would have nothing to do, switch of our computers, go out in the world and have real lives.
