    what's the most important factor in a religion?

    If a religion makes claims that are provably false, then it is not right in these claims. Perhaps there is no good reason to accept anything they say in this case.

    Why did God create mortal bodies?

    There is another option for why there is suffering in the world, for why this world is not a utopia.

    Bible as literature

    I wouldn't mind except that all the Christian teachers would use it to evangelize.

    Question for both theists and atheists.

    Been there, done that. And wasted 50 years in the process.

    Agnostics: Get Off the Fence

    Theism means there is a supernatural God or gods. I see no evidence for such a thing and am therefore: a-theist, non-theist.

    If the world actually was only a few thousand years old, how would history play out different

    The universe once was only a few thousand years old. And this is how it played out, billions of years later.

    I prefer to follow truth. Even if only a minority agree with me.

    Are many people only focusing on the "negative" in religions?

    I prefer to first focus on the question of whether or not the claims are true. I don't consider this to be negative. Anytime someone tells me something or I read something in the news, I first want to validate it's truth. Why believe and act on something untrue?

    Why Are You Wrong?

    Worldviews do a better or worse job of conforming to reality. It's a philosophical question of whether a worldview can be justified via critical thinking based on true facts.

    What calculations makes you an atheist ?

    Our current president may think this way, but I don't. Caring for others is a big incentive to not cause suffering to others.

    Christian Church Attenders - Denominational Authoritarianism

    I think of it in terms of whether the teachings and doctrines are true or not. Why defend something that is untrue, no matter what it's domain, religious, political, cultural, pseudo-scientific, pseudo-philosophical.

    Question about the idea of "God".

    Humans detect agency in the world around us; in sounds, sights, etc. God started out small and got bigger and bigger of the millennia.

    Does Prayer "Work"?

    Even talking to yourself to plan what you want to do with your day "works". I think of prayer in terms of communicating with supernatural beings who change reality as a response. Since I don't believe in such a thing, I don't believe prayer exists except as the ritual of doing it.

    Sin and Repentance

    If sin is defined as actions that displease God or in disobedience to God, then, there is no such thing as sin. There can be repentance for the things we have done that harm others.

    God and the idea that he's timeless

    Yes. The idea of God as omnipresent and omnipotent doesn't make much sense.

    Do you believe in life after Death?

    I don't believe in a supernatural realm having souls and gods and such.

    Who created universe ?

    No one created it. It merely is as it is.

    Is it good to mix Reason with Religion?

    There are other explanations for this.

    Hell in the Abrahamic System

    Hell doesn't exist, except possibly if you want to refer to conscious suffering during this life using that term.

    A spiritual sign that we can see degeneration in human beings.

    As animals we have a dark side. It takes a lot of effort and commitment to avoid acting this out. That's all there is to it.
