    Loving God = Eternal Torture?

    So, I've been an ex-Christian for about 4 years now, and one thing still irks me even to this day. In evangelical Christianity (in which I was raised...and I suppose most denominations of Christianity in general,) it is believed that God is supposedly love (1 John 4:8), yet at the same time, it...

    Intelligent Design and Biological Flaws

    The world is, undoubtedly, a world full of biological flaws; Down's Syndrome, Harlequin Ichthyosis disease, birth defects, extra limbs, missing limbs, vestigial organs, etc. How do supporters of intelligent design explain these flaws in humans, (as well as animals,) while maintaining a belief...

    Freemasonry and Freethinking Religions

    Okay, so here lately I have been interested in Freemasonry. It has always been a big part of my family's history. Both of my grandfathers were 32nd degree, Scottish Rite Freemasons, and both of my grandmothers were associated with the Order of the Eastern Star. I would like to continue on with...

    Taoist AND Deist?

    So, I am a Deist, but I have been reading the Tao Te Ching here lately and have found it to be really interesting, and has sparked my interest in the Taoist philosophy itself. So my question is, can someone be both Taoist and Deist, or does Taoism require the outright rejection of a deity? Could...

    How is This Fair?

    Say hypothetically, you have two people: Bob the Baptist, and Bill the Buddhist. Let's say that Bob the Baptist goes out drinking every night, comes home, beats his wife, beats his kids, and does every drug imaginable, and all these vices continue throughout the remainder of his life. But one...

    Why exactly do Jehovah's Witnesses evangelize?

    If I am not mistaken, (and please correct me if I am wrong) Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 elect Jehovah's Witnesses will go to heaven, while the rest are just sent to the grave along with the rest of us. So if that is the case, why evangelize? Chances are they are not going to...

    "God is testing me" vs "the Devil is tormenting me"

    Whenever bad things happen to many Christians, they usually have either one of two responses: either the "God is just testing me" explanation, or the "The Devil is tormenting me" one. So my question to them is how do you really know which one it is? How can you tell if you are accusing the right...

    Fictional Crushes

    So... has anyone else ever had any fictional (or cartoon) crushes as a child too? (Or maybe even as an adult.) Surely I'm not the only one. Here were some of mine... 1.) Kim: from Kim Possible 2.) Frankie: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends 3.) Danny Fenton: from Danny Phantom 4.)...

    Hey ya'll!

    Oh, where to begin! I was born and raised in a "middle of nowhere" Floridian town in "Bible Belt central." I grew up in a fundamentalist Pentecostal Church. Neither of my parents were particularly devout, they still labeled themselves as "Christian" though. We eventually stopped going to the...
