    what happens?

    If only God would answer this one simple question, we wouldnt need religion at all. We'd all just say to one another, see ya there! I'd like to come back as a dog. Or a hamster. : hamster :

    I Wish To Know God

    Ah, spiritual awakening is such a nice thing to see. The best advice of all given, was to meditate. Quiet the mind. Later, you may feel the urge to look into other religions......don't mind the bible quoters by the way, you can always worship other gods....or none.....he doesnt mind, really...

    Does God manufacture people to Hell?

    Well, the free will argument would mean that God didnt really care whether you chose to go to hell or not, whether you accepted him or not, becuase its up to you to decide your own fate. Which, if you think about it, means that you really didnt need to pray to God to interfere in your life in...

    Does God manufacture people to Hell?

    The concept of Hell is obsolete. We know that the core of the earth is composed mostly of molten iron and other metals. There's no-one "down there". The author of the concept of Hell had no idea of this.....the most we hear of a "place" for Hell is in the old testament as being "a low pit...

    Pledge of Allegence

    Well said Painted Wolf, especially as you'd be pledging alliegence to all the invaders who came in, took over your country, and forced you out of most of it. I can't imagine any native american finding meaning in this. Aside from that, I don't like the addition of "under God" simply because of...

    gay, wrong? why?

    Simon, I'm beginning to think you know less about Gnosticism than I previously thought. You have at least read Elaine Pagel's introductory work, yes? It paints a picture of a close, communal relationship with Jesus, not as Godhead, not as demigod, not as teacher even, but more as a guide to...

    gay, wrong? why?

    Finally, we have the word of God as told to someone who's alive today !!!! Woohoo! (Can I have whatever HE's having???) SeriousIy, though, I would like to hear more about this "new" Gnosticism, as I thought it had all been wiped out long ago, save for the fragments from Nag Hammadi. Hopefully...

    rapture is - irresponsible christians!

    But, you do know that the current Bible was assembled around 400CE, and many other texts that were deemed unhelpful to forming the early church were left out? So, how is a collection of works put together by men the final authority of God's word? What if they left out something important...

    Why Are Atheists Less Likely To Become Criminals?

    If I do something that is against the prevailing social mores, I am still a criminal. Even if I grew up in another country, and don't consider a specific behavior to be wrong / bad / illegal, I still have to obey the laws of the place I am in. So, where does it say that I have to be religious...

    If there is the devil, why did God create him?

    Thanks Sorcerer! Ouch, that's a really loud signature line, I'll work to tone it down, no need to shout....

    If there is the devil, why did God create him?

    First post, lets see what this looks like.... Anyway, I did skip some of the 16 pages of discussion on this topic ( the middle part mostly ). There is a good discussion on the "argument from evil" (AE) on the infidels.org site which is used by many Atheists / Agnostics, and to which I think...
