Re: Do Atheists enjoy....
- Do Atheists enjoy having Christmas Day off work? - - - Actually, in Japan, people celebrate Christmas by giving each other presents (something Buddhism values)- It is not just for Christians anymore... Actually, some have argued and would be right to point out that Christmas traditions are a comp...

Re: Eghh makes my stomach hurt while listening to her...
Big Top... I feel your comment was kind of rude. Are you here to convert people to Atheism? Do you enjoy it when people try to convert you to Christianity? Have you thought about meditating instead of being angry at people who want to believe differently than you? (By the way, I don't like all the ...

Re: "Natural" Evil
I believe whole heartedly that only can have morals without a divine being involved. Humans, like other animals, are social. Social animals will protect others of their pack/group. Empathy for others in your group arises from this protection. The only reason we understand and have developed a better...

Re: What do you think God did before creating our universe?
The Bible says we will be made like Him. Does that mean we'll be all powerful and all knowing also? Able to create our own universes with our own beings that we make in our own images? Hi bigTop. Welcome to this forum. I find the following page very helpful: http://www.gotquestions.org/image-of-God...

Re: "Natural" Evil
Greg Bahnsen put it succinctly: "...there is no problem of evil in an atheist's universe because there is no evil in an atheist's universe. Since there is no God, there is no absolute moral standard, and nothing is wrong. The torture of little children is not wrong in an atheist's universe. It...

Re: Why do many christians not like homosexuals?
IMO Homosexuality is based on both genetic makeup and/or social circumstances. I like redheaded women. I like skinny women etc... I do not like men. That's my genetic makeup. Just as a guy liking another guy is his genetic makeup. As far as social circumstances go, everything you do,see,touch,hear,t...

Re: Atheist delusions
I always do think that its not worth it... these people aren't open and no amount of evidence is going to change their minds, it takes God to really change their hearts. And your mind is open because you only believe in ONE system? Throughout my life, it's seemed that atheists are the ones with the...

Re: Do Atheists enjoy....

Atheists don't believe, it doesn't mean we don't like spending time with the family, giving and receiving gifts, eating a hot meal...

Re: Eghh makes my stomach hurt while listening to her...
So.. Let's break it down... What do they teach? 1) Who you are requires no belief. -Who you are DOESN'T require belief. At least a billion people don't believe in God and Jesus as the only way to salvation, and they are who they are. 2)Heaven is not a place, but refers to the inner realm of consciou...

Re: Paganism
Is there not a chapel located at each military base? Why should one belief system be allowed to have a worship site, yet another is not?

Re: (((Christians and Atheists)))
Hi all.. Just signed up today.. How is everyone? I just want to get this out there first and foremost: I am an atheist... I don't believe in bashing people for their own beliefs tho. With that said... @MarkColoradoUSA I'm an atheist, and very much alive! @neo-x I'm an atheist and I can't remember th...
