    Naturalistic Pandeism

    Many religions view gods as people, people that you can talk to, receive messages from, and have a relationship with. To someone who views gods like that, you can't really substitute the universe and expect them to be happy. Some of them just want an authority figure to tell them how to behave...

    But if Prostitution is NOT Immoral....

    It depends where you shop. I think the prices in southeast Asia are very reasonable. Of course, getting there can be expensive if you live in Europe or North America.

    Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

    You seem to be confusing my personal reasons for not wanting to see it with a movie review or social commentary. I just don't like this kind of movie. I don't like any superhero movies either.

    Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

    I have two problems with the plot: (1) Lincoln only opposes slavery to fight vampires. It trivializes the issue. (2) Vampires can't exist unless they can legally buy slaves. Really?? I'm not going to see it, but I don't like this type of movie anyway. Supernatural stuff makes everything too...

    Part 2 - What does freedom of religion mean to you?

    You need a "none of the above" option. I only chose two myself: Freedom to leave a religion once a member (freedom to be apostate) Freedom to proselytize

    Spoke to an Atheist Today

    The God Delusion is a middling book on atheism. I've read plenty of others that were much better, but it wasn't bad. It's famous mostly because of the author, not because of the content.

    Why do Mormons accept the book of Mormon?

    If you read this, please let me know whether you thought my comment was ridicule.

    Why do Mormons accept the book of Mormon?

    LinQuistic? Huh? Are you referring to style of the language of the text, because otherwise the idea that Native American languages are in any way related to Semitic languages is simply laughable.

    What does freedom of religion mean to you?

    No, it's not possible since the first three were almost always checked.

    What does freedom of religion mean to you?

    I think some people stopped reading. There's no way that 58% think that religious tests for public office are consistent with freedom of religion.

    Why do Mormons accept the book of Mormon?

    That doesn't account for converts.

    Yep. OP means "opening post." So, thanks for responding. I didn't see that as your point from the OP, but OK. Carry on.

    How are you going to address the concern I raised in post #3?

    How Important is Atheism to You?

    It's very, very important in the sense that it helped me escape years of absolute misery as a scrupulous Catholic. It's important to me like not having cancer is important to me. It's also important to my sense of identity coming from a fairly religious family living in a fairly religious area...

    Jesuism (ie:belief in Gospels only) - Can it work?

    Well, the Gospels were written after the epistles, so maybe that's enough.

    Jesuism (ie:belief in Gospels only) - Can it work?

    Since Jesus endorses the Jewish scriptures within the Gospels themselves, it seems odd to toss the OT. I understand the desire, but it's not that easy.

    I would reply, but I have no idea what the OP is trying to say.
