    Belief of Jehovah's Witnesses?

    Virgin birth is also out of the question for a JW. From what I`ve been told by JW`s.

    Is "Devil Worship" another Abrahamic faith?

    The Church of Satan exists as a direct contradiction to Christianity. It is a major point of the "belief". LaVey used the Christian fear of Satan as a foundation for the church which is where I believe Jayhawkers comment about caricature comes from. Granted the Church of Satan isn`t the only...

    11 Year Old Devout Athiest

    True, considering who her father is and the influence my beliefs have had on her life I know she has pondered the possibilities. But I`m still gonna give her a little more time to come to a conclusion. :)

    Question for Atheists

    Why are you an atheist? I enjoy the kitten barbecues What is your "favorite" aspect of Atheism? Sleeping in on Sunday What is your "least favorite" aspect? I`ve got nobody to blame for my own mistakes. If you were to choose a theistic belief (I realize this goes against the logical...

    11 Year Old Devout Athiest

    Jayhawker has a valid point which is why I`ve always had a knowing smile on my face in this forum when reading posts by people who aren`t yet parents about how they wouldn`t influence their children to believe any certain religion/philosophy. It can`t be avoided as your child will seek to...

    11 Year Old Devout Athiest

    I agree which is why I mentioned she could be a baptist by 22 but damn she`s headstrong. Considering her path so far she does indeed fall victim to the seduction you speak of. I don`t think there`s anyway to get her past that other than letting her take the lumps that comes along with it until...

    11 Year Old Devout Athiest

    Ahhh... I have a problem. My 11 year old daughter has just gotten a Facebook page (I know I know 13 is the age limit.) and she`s been having a blast playing games and chatting with her classmates online (Apparently I`m not the only one who could care less about age limits) I just checked on...

    The soul

    Yes, this is how I relate to the use of the word "Soul". I define the soul as a conglomeration of my, life experiences, beliefs. My soul IS my mind, the essence of "me". It dies with me except for those little tidbits I manage to ingrain in those who shared my life.

    Hatred of Christianity!

    Tolerance and respect are not identical concepts regardless of what your definition states or where you got it. Not at all, I respect differing opinions of al stripes. I do not respect magical thinking, which is what most religion is based upon. I haven`t even uttered my definition of...

    Hatred of Christianity!

    I`ve stated nothing that would promote intolerance. The fact that I refuse to be silent about an obvious intolerant ideology while voicing my disrespect of it isn`t intolerant. Intolerance would be calling for it`s destruction. I "tolerate" Christianity very well thank you. :) The irony of...

    Hatred of Christianity!

    Sure, you can hate whoever you want BECAUSE THIS IS a secular country. If it truly were a Christian country you`d have to hide any hatred you held that didn`t jibe with Christianity`s prescribed hatreds. Not at all, my secular way of life tolerates any and all beliefs whether they jibe with...

    Hatred of Christianity!

    Ahh ... so we have the "No True Christian" argument. It`s not my fault y`all can`t keep a consistent message across the board. I stand by my statement.

    Hatred of Christianity!

    You`re kidding right? I attack Christianity because it attacks me. It`s just self defense. Christianity goes out of it`s way to infect my government, my kids schools, my personal sexuality, my lifestyle, my world view, my morality, my friends, my family, my neighborhood....... I could...

    Faith in religion is a mental illness

    It depends on the religion and it`s dogma but most western religions require one to delude themselves into believing the impossible. Self delusion can be considered a mental "problem" at the least.

    Dawkins banned due to atheism

    This is hysterical. They booked Dawkins sponsored by Center for Inquiry and had no clue he was an atheist!!. LMAO, can they be more ignorant?

    Is atheism the teenage revolt years?

    I think agnostic is an adjective, not a noun. You can be an "agnostic theist" You can even be an "agnostic atheist" I don`t know of anyone who is simply.. "agnostic"

    What eventually lead you to your non-belief in God?

    I have been an atheist from birth but had I a mainstream belief system before I read the book above it would have been pretty much destroyed by the 4th or 5th chapter. :) Bertrand rocks!!
