You know
let's get together and NOT drink alcohol.
let's get together (or find an online forum) and NOT worshiping a god.
(I know, a silly post, but the thought just occured to me and I had to share :) )
This is his statement:
"Extremist Islamic terrorism has struck Europe again, this time in Denmark. We send our condolences to the Danish people and to the Jewish community in Denmark. Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews and this wave of terrorist attacks –...
Is something good because God loves it...
or does God love it because it is good?
I here go by the asumption that some some omnipotent, good god exists that can tell what is good and what is bad (I don´t actually believe this myself, but assume one did exist)
I heard this question mentioned in...
I have had religious people tell me that deep down I must know that god does exist, and that my attempt at disbelieving god is stupid.
I always found that way of thinking ridiculous.
I never understood why people would say stupid things like that.
But something occured to me today.
I am sitting...
I have people in my life.
What that means to me is that there are people in my life that share my life. I see them, speak to them, they speak to me, we communicate, we influence each others lives.
It is not my impression that people who claim to have god in their life actually have the guy...
I was wondering how many of atheists come from a family and how many do not.
By religious family, I mean a family where religion was considered important and was part of life in general.
Personally I come from a family where religion was never really discussed. I think my mother considered...
I know there are a few Egyptians on this forum, and I was just wondering how Egyptians in general feel about what is going on in Egypt right now.
I assume most people don't exactly feel good about it, but what are your thoughts.
I know I am just a stupid dane and have no real understanding of...
The word god is used often around here, but different people mean different things by it.
Some people think of some great all powerfull, everlasting being which runs everything.
In some religions, like the old norse myths for example, the gods are more like superheroes with cool powers. And...
A facebook friend of mine posted this and I was wondering what people think of it.

Are we ok, or has the author of the article misunderstood something?
One of the things I wonder about when it comes to religion is why people are religious at all.
Not having grown up in a religious family, I simply don't get it. It is very puzzling to me why do people believe in the things they do. :confused:
I have tried to ask religious people about their...
All the data I have seen on the topic says the global temperature is rising.
This temperature rise will make the oceans rise.
As a citizen of a very low lying country this is of course very worrying, but the thing is I haven't noticed any rise in the water level yet.
Why is that?
I am quite interested in hearing what you non-danes think about this little conflict we have going on here in Denmark at present.

I have a very religious friend who keeps trying to save my soul.
I have told her that it is probably a waste of time, since I don't think I have one, but she insists :)
My friend has this idea that God gave us free will and we all make choices about whether or not we believe in God.
And people...
I stumbled on to these videos on the internet:

Sometimes something bad happens or something happens that simply doesn't make sense, and rather than say "this is wrong, this should not have happened or this doesn't make sense" some people will in stead find comfort in the 'fact' that God works in mysterious ways, and that what happened was...
I have heard nothing in the news about Geece lately.
Possibly the reason I have heard nothing is because the news service in Denmark is more concerned with local matters (Which are quite entertaining at the moment :) ), but I would like to make sure that Grece hasn't vanished while I wasn't...
For some reason this never occured to me before (possibly because I don't believe in an afterlife), but now I can't get it out of my head...
If a person
believes in being faithful to their spouse
believes in an afterlife
does that not mess things up if their spouse dies and they re-marry...
