    What are the Odds there's a God?

    Same odds as for anything magical, leprechauns, tooth fairies, Santa Claus, Easter rabbits, that sort of thing, about 0/10.

    Is the following atheist tactic good sportsmanship or not?

    Pointing out the fact that the myth is a myth would seem redundant, but in actuality it's a cause for discussion. That in itself should say something about religious beliefs and their fragile state.

    Is the following atheist tactic good sportsmanship or not?

    Yeah, and it was equally stupid of that kid to yell out loud that the emperor has no cloths.

    Pointing out the myth or condemning non conformists to burn in Hell, you decide which is less sportsmanlike.

    Because of church state separation believers can no longer burn or boil atheists alive for making such unsportsmanlike messages.

    did jesus exist?

    What believers are doing here is trying to draw an historical figure out of a mythology because they got it backwards. It's not uncommon for myths and legends to develop about an historical figure, but it takes religion to draw an historical figure from myth. It's rather humorous to see the...

    did jesus exist?

    Believers are cause for discussion. A fictional character sacrificed for the sins of mankind and rose from the dead turned out to be the most influential character of all. People actually believe this central character, the Son of God Himself, is a basis for a man that actually existed in real...

    God and the Holocaust

    It is not bigotry to blame Christians for killing Jews, it's simply a matter of observation: My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they...

    God and the Holocaust

    It goes without saying that the Jews were the minority, that the Christians had the upper hand. It can't be over emphasized that Jews, a group of people recognized by their religion, were killed for religious purposes, purely on religious grounds by Christians. The gospel story has a Jewish mob...

    What is Morality?

    An objective morality could be a morality based on principles that are the same for all. An example would be torture, in any functioning society or culture torture is recognized as something that no one should have to endure. A culture or people influenced by those that can justify torturing...

    God and the Holocaust

    It was belief that caused the holocaust, a belief that Jews (read Christ killers), and homosexuals (another bible driven phobia), were the cause of Germany's woes and so had to be wiped out. The belief in God persists even now.

    Yes, those annoying, pesky questions. Why can't more people just believe?

    Did the village of Nazareth exist in the first century?

    Let's not forget Mary's well, the site where the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and announced that she would bear the Son of God. Mary's Well - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Did the village of Nazareth exist in the first century?

    If one could find a source that supports The Bible claim for a 1st century Nazareth, that in itself would be useful because bible based beliefs are otherwise a dime a dozen.

    Did the village of Nazareth exist in the first century?

    A town may have existed there, the question is whether or not it was known as Nazareth during the first century. Hundreds of years after the gospels were written it became necessary to establish a place called Nazareth so that Christian pilgrims could come and do whatever it is that Christians...

    Did the village of Nazareth exist in the first century?

    No one can comment on the non existence of such a thing as an ancient town. It's reasonable to remain skeptical of a so called ancient town such as Nazareth existing in the first century considering the source, and that it was previously unheard of.

    Why did God create anything if he knew in advance what would happen?

    Where does the idea of a god creator come from and why does anyone believe in such a thing as that?

    did jesus exist?

    They don't necessarily lose anything, they just transform into something else. That's why the gospels are not to be viewed as anything other than a story consisting of material gathered from various oral traditions. A lot of stories are written that way.
