    Is a person a Christian if...

    Could one not use the same argument for Islam though?

    'Judge Won't Hear Gay Adoptions Because They're Not in a Child's 'Best Interest'"

    Not taking sides here, but could one of you pull up evidence for this? I am curious.

    Origin of life, Adam and the Dinosaurs

    Reading this it shows that you did not listen to my arguments, that you are refusing to be informed of what science actually says, and that your religious beliefs come from emotion rather than logic. Only you can choose to use your mind rather than your emotions to observe reality. I will be...

    No, that's Southern Baptists.

    Greetings and Question

    Welcome to the site. Well for one thing, I would much rather like to know details about your denomination than it's name. Also for another, trying to convert other people here is not allowed on this site.

    Greetings and Question

    I will let you know if any gods tell me about a religion but so far it's only been from humans.

    Origin of life, Adam and the Dinosaurs

    I think you made some formatting mistakes.

    Some Hindu scriptures

    Thank you for the Upanisad, I am afraid I am a college student so I cannot afford the other two at the moment. I will put a request for them with the school library, the staff and I are good friends.

    Are Atheist Skeptics?

    What are your standards of evidence for not believing in something? If I remember correctly you stated that you did not believe in Bigfoot due to people being able to replicate the photos of him. If this is the case does that not mean I could to say that you should not believe in any gods...

    Are Atheist Skeptics?

    Must I provide a reason to believe in not believing in Santa?

    Are Atheist Skeptics?

    And you dismiss somebody on that ground alone and throw in an insult. I doubt you care about learning what is true and therefore there is little chance that I can change your mind, only you can really do that.

    Your TV/Movie Crush?

    If I where gay I know it would be L from Deathnote* by a landslide, but sadly sexuality does not conform to my whim. *For those who do not know, the main premise of deathnote is that there is a notebook that by writing down someone's name and thinking of their face you can kill them as well as...

    “Philosophy is dead." - Stephen Hawking

    I highly disagree with his comment. It goes to show how a man can be so brilliant in one area but be ignorant in another.

    Some Hindu scriptures

    I am unfortunately not as well versed in Hinduism as I would like to be. Do you know of any interlinear scriptures I can look at? Interlinear meaning where it shows the original language, the literal translation, and the translation.

    Are Atheist Skeptics?

    It is the way in which you ask. How do I explain this to you. No-one uses that term. Why? Because people use the term naturalist because most people aren't trying to claim that magick and gods are natural. So of course it would not be well used or discussed despite a lot of people having it...

    Origin of life, Adam and the Dinosaurs

    Yeah but it is not the same word in all of these situations. 1st of all, that would contradict science which you put all of this effort into trying not to do. 2nd of all, that would mean your god did that intentionally to trick us or that the humans who made-up the bible where ignorant...

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    Okay please humor me. In what way or form has Darwin made Totalitarianism. Let me guess, your going to go say the same old drivel that you heard from other people who have no understanding of history, science, or philosophy.

    Read 1984 before you talk about it please.

    How Do Atheists Handle World Events: Scenario 1 Totalitarianism

    I'm not going to read the first sentence of the opening post and act like I can talk about it though. With my system of ethics. Basically I think people have certain rights and I prioritize those rights. I then try to do the greatest good for the greatest number without compromising those...

    'Judge Won't Hear Gay Adoptions Because They're Not in a Child's 'Best Interest'"

    You see this annoys me. I think I am near center and am pro-life and I think that these couples would be good candidates for children that would have been aborted to go to. But a lot of people of the right are "pro-life" but want to prevent those children from being adopted because of their...
