Posted: 5/10/2006 2:15:34 PM | Atheism is a non Prophet organization.
And you also don't get any holidays to get a day off work.
Mostly what I find bad is how people commit crime in the name of God.
Most religion was created to control people who w/o the fear of retribution would act very poorly.
How welcomed or appreciated would someone like Jesus be at your board meeting or
the PTA ?
What would he have to say to George Bush? Bill Ford? Tom Monihan?
If you are rotten in this world but ask for forgiveness on your death bed, how welcome should you be in another life?

Many christians interpret the term "atheist" as "antichristian" and believe they are setting themselves up for a lecture on how much of a fool you think they are if they got to know you.
A university environment would be more fitting for you. Or a writer workshop or something. Christians have church so you should find some club where there will be many atheists. | |

So there we don't need you. Our faith tells us that there is no superior beings, just know we were are all descendants from the primordial ooze. But if that doesn't work let the inquisition begin. Now where is sword and my horse. And if we apply the divinci code to this post we get. Have a nice day. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:43:17 AM | I don't think the average Christian looks down on atheist, anymore than most atheists’ look down on Christians. At least that has been my experience. Being a physicist as well as spiritual in my beliefs, I'm usually on the outside of most groups.
The truth is that there is nothing wrong with being an atheist or a Christian, a Jew, a Buddhist or any other form of belief system that you can name. It is in the nature of man to hold on to something that feeds his ego, that stabilizes his mind, and connects him to the world. Even if it is a belief in no belief at all.
The belief in a religion of nothing "atheism" sounds odd, even contradictive; but only until you realize that the belief one has, is truly an extension of a persons dominate personality traits.
There are four basic components to one's personality. The physical (the body and how it
relates to the world we feel around us), the spiritual (no I don't mean about God; but ones feeling of connection to the non-physical world, and it does exist, ask any decent quantum physicist), The emotional (those evoked response patterns we imprint neurological throughout our lives), and the intellectual (that calculating portion of our brain that cranks in the raw data and spews out the end result (GIGO)).
All work fairly smoothly and behind the curtain, so to speak, at least for most of us. But they each have their dominance nonetheless. It is this dominance or lack there of, of each component that contributes to our ultimate path toward some form of stable belief system that gives our lives a place, a niche if you will, that provides stability to the ego.
If your emotional, meaning that you have a lot of buttons that are easily pushed by the process of life, you will tend to see all data coming to the brain through the lens of emotion. A lot of so called Hollywood personalities fall into this category. They spend there lives projecting and perfecting their ability to evoke emotion at the slightest hint of need, so it should not be a surprise to any of us, that after a life time of this, their world is then seen through the bias of an emotional lens.
It makes for great passion; but does little to define an objective intellectual solution to the world's problems. You see examples of this every day.
Some of us, quote unquote scientists are known for the exact opposite. Our minds dominate patterns, are defined by a lifetime of attempting to develop an objective view of the world, so much so, that we sometimes dissociate ourselves to a point of dysfunction. Without passion to drive us (in a balanced amount of course) we loose our connection to those around us. And if man is anything, he or she are social animals. Even the atheist's recognize that. : 0 )
So does it truly matter that we cannot prove or disprove, that which we believe? No!
It only matters that you believe or don't believe. and render some comfort from it.
I could go into volumes of why these things are true; but suffice it to say.we're people, and we're imprinted with sometimes massively different views of the universe. Not because the universe is different for each person; but that each person only sees a myopic view of what truly is.
Each person see's the infinite with fear, with awe or many times just an unaccepting disbelief. Whatever their reaction, it drives drives them to find something of substance to surround themselves with.
So when you feel someone looking down on you, or you find yourself looking down on someone else (whatever the reason. remember to see them as they are, myopic turtles attempting to find a comfort zone, which will bring the world view into a focus they can live with.
Have a nice day, and enjoy the world.
Life's to short to squander the years we have.

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:51:19 AM | Very christian..do you find slimebag in the bible. I'm a scientist as well as having had a christian upbringing. If you want to make the world better, at least find something constructive to say. To debate rationally is to win friends, to whine, complain, or throwout names and debate irrationally just drives others away. I guess if that's what your looking for, you are succeding.
Have a nice day

Posted: 6/18/2006 1:00:07 AM | You will find that ahteist tend to be as illogical and emotional as most christians. Being a scientist/teacher, and a christian I've seen in universites world wide, more christians and other religious believers than ever I have seen atheist's. Remember they are a small minority. Like most of us, we have only a philosophy. Strong beliefs come with time, a testing of our faith, and a wisdom that is only found in a lifetime of mistakes seen in hindsight.
Church is a social environement as much as it is a religious environement. Where else would you think God/Christ would want those who still seek. Different beliefs test our faith, solidify our will, and provide a collective gathering that explores all aspects of God.
To throw out, or admonish they go elsewhere, is to miss the essence of Christ teachings.
well have a nice day, and go with God

Posted: 6/18/2006 1:08:50 AM | Do you really belief that atheism means a belief and worship of the Devil.. Which one, the devil of nothingness, the opposite of God, which would mean you believe in a god, which means your not atheist..or I get it...
your sarcasm means you have contempt for both the atheist and nonatheist alike. Which contemptable bunch do you fall into.
If you want to debate, debate. But don't throw out one liners that have not context, no thought, no essence of the intellect.
have a nice day

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:32:06 PM | Your answering your own question..why do you have to ask? Atheists have nothing better to do than to stomp on other people's rights. I am not that religious but I do believe in a higher power..AND Guardian Angels...if it were not for them...I would have been dead right now..
Just don't step on my rights to believe... | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 9:19:12 PM | Nothing wrong with being an atheist......if you end up right when all is said and done.
Personally, that is not a chance that I wish to take.
I dated an atheist......and I am far from being one....my faith has literally kept me alive. He had no concept of what real "unconditional" love is. We ended up splitting......just a couple of months ago. I am still sad about it because I truly loved and cared for him.
It just doesn't work for me to date someone with very opposite faith views.
Yet, this doesn't mean that I think that Atheist's are bad people.
I just don't wish to be hurt again,

Please dont characterize all Athiests as stepping on other ppl's rights. There are 'some' who will debate with you till you are blue in the face about Evolution however there are 'some' ppl who believe in god that do the same thing. And yeah,,its irratating as hell to listen to BOTH sides ranting and rave but i happen to be Athiest and i never talk religion to anyone unless the other person brings it up and they WANT to 'discuss' it. I keep what i believe to myself and would never 'stomp on other ppl's rights',,,as id hope they would respect my rights too. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 7:21:36 PM | | Yep. I'm not religious. I don't believe in the christian god (therefore I don't believe in the christian devil/satan..can't have one without the other.) I also don't debate anything on evolution. I don't ever think about it, and honestly I really don't care. I don't know how we got here, again, I don't care. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 9:08:12 PM | I Believe in God, and I don't need bones or any other evidence to support that there is a GOD ~ I feel Him in my life, and I have seen Him in everything and everywhere, and in the lives of others. I read somewhere that 98 percent of the world's population believe in God, although people practice different religions. That is a lot of people!
I simply cannot imagine living in a world without God, and I feel deeply sorry for people who live Godless lives. As a psychologist, I have had patients who claim to be Atheist. They seem to struggle the most, and care the less about accountability of their behaviors and about the welfare of others. | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 11:27:34 AM | | I'm an agnostic so I don't believe or disbelieve in god. I'm not worried about being right or wrong in my stance because if I do go to hell at least I'll be in good company. | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 3:56:12 PM | Right on man... you don't have to prove creationism b/c it's all based on blind faith. Just because it's written doesn't make it true. While almost any holy script will have stories of great truth in them, the stories may not be true in themselves.
If were asked to write a handbook for the general population 2000 years ago on how to be a better person wouldn't you make up an example of the perfect idea of how someone should act...? If you watch an educational video on how to drive don't they put a actor in the positions real drivers will face and show how they should act?
I think that bibles are just guidelines to living better and to get the gullible folks out there to adhere to the rules there are punishments and rewards to be had after this life is over.
Oh how the acountable are vigilant!!
I believe more in karma than any religion. A person's persona affects there energy pattern and that is recognizeable to most everyone. That's why your first impression of someone is usually better than the idea you get through conversation. The lies fog the truth and make it unclear what to believe.
and that's my religion rant!

Arealangel, 80% of americans believe in God. Is it possible that an 80% majority can be persecuted by the 20% minority? That's like five girls live in a dorm room and four run to the Housing director and complain that the one girl is being prejudicial to all four of them. | |

Posted: 6/24/2006 9:42:11 AM | | I believe but often have battle with myself over whats the truth. However, I find it hard to believe that a higher power does not exist. I just can't buy into evolution, big bang, or darwinism. But everyone has a right to believe what they want as long as everyone is happy it's just fine. | |

Posted: 6/25/2006 11:42:46 AM | I have nothing to lose because if their isnt a God then I go no where when I die, but if there is a God then I go to heaven. You have everything to lose because if there is a God and you dont believe you go to HELL. I would rather be go to heaven then hell.
