    Atheist looking for religious debate. Any religion. Let's see if I can be convinced.

    I agree, because most of them are.....and some are the product of pure human fantasy......but if there was a Creator God whose power is amply demonstrated in creation, then wouldn't its existence alone be proof enough, based on the law of cause and effect? Nothing comes from nothing......so what...

    Atheist looking for religious debate. Any religion. Let's see if I can be convinced.

    Well that gives me a bit of insight into your 'credentials' and that you have studied and graduated in "religion", "theology " and "philosophy" and presently studying "law"..... I have to ask what your study of "religion" gave you?....as well as how well your study of "theology" actually...

    Pastor Issues An Apology For Making Girls Wear One-Piece Swimsuits

    Interesting response from this Pastor.....but it reflects the ways of the world, not really the teachings of Christ. (1 John 2:15-17) Modesty in our dress has always been the Biblical recommendation.....and with good reason. Teaching teenage boys to be “men” is like asking a dog not to salivate...

    Atheist looking for religious debate. Any religion. Let's see if I can be convinced.

    Hello and welcome. A little background would be helpful to know where you have come from and what led you to atheism.....? What are you wanting to be convinced of.....and what is the likelihood of anyone changing your mind?

    Half-baked thoughts about God and suffering

    I can find no recommendation in the Bible to “re-live” the suffering of others. Reading about their faith in such circumstance is beneficial for us to imitate their steadfastness and ability to endure.....but not to re-live it as some sort of self-affliction. Only a fiend would enjoy the...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    I have investigated the scientific method.....what is not to understand? They have evidence that requires investigation; they form a hypothesis, and then go about trying to verify it. But if their overriding premise is skewed towards a certain result, then that is what they will deduce.....their...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Hello Clear.... These symbols are seen recurring through history, and the cross' connection with sex and sex worship is historical. The ankh cross is "the symbol of life" meaning that it depicts coitus...the union of male and female in reproducing life. What it meant to the Egyptians and what...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    That is true and one can only admire their dedication to their accepted belief system and the basis for their supporting it. If they have no agenda to convert the world to their superior thinking, but can humbly go about their business without having to constantly defend their position by...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    What “evidence” is that? You mean the interpretation given to said ‘evidence” by those who already have a pre-conceived idea of what their findings will reveal? Do you really think that any of those scientists will ever step outside of their evolutionary bubble? They would be laughed out of...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    My definition? It’s not my definition......A-theism is like A-sexulality....it indicates an absence......in this case, absence of belief in god(s)......i.e. no Creator responsible for the existence of the universe and life on planet Earth. The questions tackled in the video are left for the...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    Isn’t it the passion that drives fanaticism?......often seen as much in sport, or in adoration of entertainment celebrities, as it is in many religious practices.......and it is observed in any other pursuit that drives people to behave in a certain predictable way. If something requires...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    Its not the kind of video you can just describe in a few words......try to watch it when you have time.....its great food for thought.

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    That argument is getting old.....like that other old chestnut...."you don't understand evolution"....implying that if we just "knew" about evolution or atheism, we would all be instantly converted.....its actually what I do know about evolution and atheism that keeps me where I chose to go over...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    Perhaps Ray has knowledge of what happens in a flat desert.....he knows that mirages are not real. Bob also knows that mirages aren't real...... The law of "cause and effect" means that whatever exists had to have a cause......we can see the effects of the Creator in his intelligently designed...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    You're just a lad then.....(compared to me) There comes a time when you have to learn to feed yourself. Spoon feeding is for babies... So what kept you from making your own evaluations by finding out what your options were? Did you never wonder....what does it all mean?....anything.....or...

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    The video explains it better than I could....and the visuals reinforce what is said. Please comment after you have seen it. If atheism behaves just like a religion, then it deserves the label IMO.

    The Trouble with Atheism.....

    Thoughts on the content of this video....well worth watching....(a bit over 45 mins) A lot of interesting issues explored on science’s role in atheism. Searching questions...interesting comments by scientists.....does science really “know” what it’s talking about...or does it just assume to...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Thank you for your honest response. I can tell you categorically that Jesus never once claimed to be God, and that there are no verses that support that notion when taken in context.......but he is linked to Michael, as only these two are said to command the angels. Because we do not see...

    Dare to Diverge

    May I ask what led you to satanism? Was it toxic or hypocritical Christianity? In my own case I too was raised “Christian” but was increasingly uncomfortable with how much of my church’s teachings and practices were not found in the Bible.....in fact, it seemed to me that whatever Jesus said to...

    Dare to Diverge

    Was satanism your choice, or were you raised with it? Is there a specific path that you have chosen now, or are you just feeling your way as you go...? Do you have unanswered questions? Are you gaining satisfying answers in your new path?
