    Why would God send good people to Hell just because they dont believe he exists?

    Not if you hate the guy you're separated from. :meditate:

    Greatest Atheistic Lyrics

    "One of Us" by Joan Osborne What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Tryin' to make his way home? If God had a face what would it look like? And would you want to see, if seeing meant That you would have to believe in things like heaven And in...

    Why would God send good people to Hell just because they dont believe he exists?

    :yes: Another interesting idea to consider is that perhaps God might send people to Hell so that they can learn, and then let theme into heaven later. IDK...:facepalm:

    Would You Sign Up To A National Registry of Atheists

    HELL to the NO! I don't want fundamentalist Christians* hunting me down and being violent towards me. We don't keep track of them! *Not that all Christians are violent by nature; they're not. But some are.

    Homosexuality and the Bible

    The founding fathers of the US wrote into their constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." They absolutely meant for the separation of church and state. This *is not* a Christian nation and never has been. Most of the founding fathers were deists...

    Questioning ability to think clearly just because someone is religious

    I agree :yes: I have many religious friends who I consider to be well-versed and perfectly intelligent. I would never demean their intelligence for being religious, though certain beliefs and practices could make me question their reasoning--blind faith, discrimination of homosexuals, disbelief...

    What does it take to get to Heaven?

    I don't believe in heaven. If there was one, I would only want to be there for doing good deeds, not having blind faith.

    Ask an Atheist Day

    New question! How do you feel about humanism? Are you a humanist? Why? Do you see secular humanism being compatible with atheism?

    Everyone, whether they choose to admit it or not is religious.

    Your definition is invalid because it is way too broad. According to you, socialism (Any of various economic and political philosophies that support social equality, collective decision-making, distribution of income based on contribution and public ownership of productive capital and natural...

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and and Polygamy

    Your method of "knowing God" may be via prayer, but his may not. Some people choose to realize God through meditation, chants, or even just doing good deeds. :) In other news, here's a fascinating article on the FLDS viewpoint on polygyny. Would love some comments on it (NO I didn't write it.)

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and and Polygamy

    FireOftheCovenant happens to be a reliable source by himself. Look at his fruball count. There's a reason some people have a reputation like that. ;) This guy actually knows what he's talking about--this is well documented history in Mormonism. Many sources will easily back him up. :) As for...

    Homosexuality in Politics

    First off, I would say that feelings towards homosexuals is a really individual thing. It's not an organized hate-con that people throw every year just because they can. Most of the political action against homosexuality I've lived to see (Prop. 8 in California, battle over gay marriage in...

    Trying to see where to start

    Try looking into Shintoism. It's not a perfect match, but it features many of the ideas you mentioned. Unitarian Universalism is another half-match. Sorry I can't help you more!

    Undercover atheists in LDS Church

    I agree that it's rather pathetic to join the LDS church as an atheist *just* to get an insider's look at everything, but I must say that I feel very sympathetic towards closeted Mormons who have become atheist but can't tell anybody about it.

    Should we be repectful or militant?

    People will come to atheism if they are ready. I've always hated the idea of proselytizing in any religion, and I think being really militant about everything will just make you look bad. +1 for being respectfully tolerant.
