    I'm somewhere between an agnostic and an atheist.

    Some critical thinking of the attributes of a biblical God... 1. Omniscient - all knowing, future and past, what will be... Is bidirectional time travel possible? To know the future would mean everything has happened before. To know perfectly the future would mean to observe the future and go...

    Looking for a debate with creationists (I am an atheist)

    So... let's simplify the argument some to Creation of life on Earth. Does that require an unrealistic being creating things via unrealistic physics? Does not "creation" or "intelligent design" exist today? Is complex intelligent life only an Earth thing 13.8 billion years from BB? Could we...

    What evidence would convince a theist that God doesn't exist?

    First off a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ their mindset is by faith... good luck with presenting facts and physics... But regarding your question... Physics vs miracles. Primarily the impossibility to meet the attributes given to God as Omnipresent.. omniscience.. omnipotent.

    I could never blame an atheist for being an atheist

    "You do err"... an atheist believes it is impossible for a "God" to exist as defined by religious theology. An atheist is not looking for which religion is true. The person who is simply an unbeliever who doesn't know why he's an atheist is what your referring to.. .

    How would life on another planet change your theology

    Personally I dont think they will find any evidence of bacterial like life on Mars even if it was there 3 to 2 billion years ago like it was on Earth. Expecially not in the next 50 to 100 years because It probably will take that long to get a man there and back safely. And a manned crew would...

    Thoughts on the "No atheists in foxholes" argument

    It doesn't matter if an atheist or believer cries out to God. It's only desperation. "God if you save me I'll quit (name a sin) and go to church and ...." or "Please don't kill me I'll do anything". Pity someone to be in a situation of desperation grasping at anything. Reality is if you die...

    Would a Real Deity Sit in Judgement?

    Speaking for only Abrahamic religions, expecially Christianity, concerning judgement expecially condemnation to damnation. God if really the almighty can do what ever, that is insane, inequality, preferential, unexplainable.. on and on. Who can do anything about it? If God is accountable as...

    Were Adam and Eve real people?

    If there is a human adam and eve in our dna it wouldn't have been from a couple just 6000 Years ago but further back. Homo sapiens past 200,000+ years ago. But with Neanderthals mixed in some of our DNA it pushes the idea even further back to 800,000+ years ago. The first conception by male and...

    If Religions are Entirely Bogus, Why are so Many Good People Religious?

    It's not hard to understand why. The awe and wonders of Life, the beauty of nature, the crazy order of everything to sustain life on a planet and odds of biogenesis and incomprehensible grasp of billions of years... One would naturally think there is more to just existing for the moment. One...

    Slavery in the Bible: more than meets the eye?

    Slavery is example of the mindset of people of the time till only just under 160 years ago. The Bible doesn't condemn it but actually has guidelines for when it's being done. No surprise since it was written in times when slavery was largely used and accepted by the wealthy and powerful who...

    Is Fundamentalism a Religious Movement or a Psychological Disorder?

    Fundamentalism is simply those who take the scriptures they believe as written.. or as well as can be interpreted. Honestly I perceive most fundamentalist living by the scriptures how it was meant to be followed and believed originally. If you think authors of the scriptures were writing with...

    Got a question on my mind about atheists and christians

    I'm an Athiest and my wife devout Baptist. My wife children attended church faithfully. I became an athiest years after my marriage. The first year was very very difficult with the wife. For her, I still am still willing to attend Church with her but not every service. I will get in religious...

    A Question for Theists...

    Defining what terms? Like falsifying experimentation or discovery? By other people you mean like professors of physics, cosmology, biology, etc..? You mean creditable people? Your not clear, but being abstract in a weird way.. "the straw man".. really? Hmm... thats very humorous... Other...

    Original Sin

    Easy to point out fallacy of the doctrine of death entering into the world by the fall like most protestants still preach. The 5 proven extinction periods millions of years prior to humans basically blow that doctrine out of the water.

    A Question for Theists...

    Maybe more that the biblical Christian/Abrahamic version of God is what we atheist are most familiar with. I don't know any other comparisons from Hindu that have multiple gods or supreme beings, or Buddhist where I don't know if there is a concept of an almighty God. Actually those doctrines...

    A Question for Theists...

    So how is God defined except in a perspective of man made scriptures? Dont see God defined anywhere else do you? Funny also about scriptures, man cant agree what is written about "Him". I.e. as if God was male, obviously a perspective of male dominated ancient thinking. Funny also if God was a...

    The Slow Death Of Christianity In The United States

    1. Note time frame when the internet became available to wide availability. 1990ish to 2010. 2. The internet was accepted and primarily by young college or educated at first, then elementary children of those couples, then elderly willing to experience social media. 3. Religions and science...

    A Question for Theists...

    I like the perspective of the reversing the normal question to Christians "how do you know God exist" to "how would you know God doesn't exist". Atheist know how God doesn't exist by understanding enough physics to know miracles as recorded in the bible are impossible. The is no such thing as...

    Atheists: Would you like to believe in God if there was good evidence for God?

    Very true.. one that should be considered by everyone.. choose to believe by faith "evidence not seen" or choose to not believe due to no evidence.
