His coming as a thief with a new name Rev.3:12, it is written that "I will write on him My New Name". Maybe coming as a thief means, its going to seem like his stole a new body with a new name? with a Walk-in process perhaps or not. Although, what do you think his new name will be? Edit: i...

One of my favorite books during my Christian days was Mere Christianity. On a superficial level, it satisfied some of my doubts about religion and made me feel I was on the side of logic. One of the arguments I remember from the book was that God was the force between two conflicting...

A guy on another forum posted a diatribe about how "God f'n Rocks" for recently giving him a good deal on his rent. http://www.freedomcrowsnest.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83304 But when I said, "God's a swell guy. Sure, he just killed 230,000 people in Haiti, but he gave John a great deal on his...

I have been invited by my friend to a group on facebook called 'so apparently I'm going to hell' which has a list of reasons ,stated by Mr. Micah Armstrong originally of the Assembly of God Church in Miami, of why you can go to hell they include: Pot Smoking Cigarette Smoking Alcohol Drinking...

Please tell me I’m not out to lunch. I was debating on a Christian forum with some of the Chosen over the whole “god creates evil”, which is mentioned numerous times in the OT. (yeah, yeah, yeah – I was out to lunch when I decided to waste my time on a Christian message board. Ha ha.)...

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/01/13/haiti.pat.robertson/index.html We could have seen this come. Jack Chick- level stuff. Sometimes I can't help but wish there were re-education camps for those who say and/or believe in this crap. Yes, its not a PC thing to say but the anger... Mods- please...

From my personal virtual library : Arguments for the Existence of God elshamah.heavenforum.com/does-god-exist-origin-of-god-metaphysical-reality-f10/arguments-for-the-existence-of-god-t5.htm five good reasons to think that God exists: 1. God makes sense of the origin of the universe. 2...

The reason for this thread: I recently discovered a skeptics group in my area. I decided to join up to their internet site, intending at some point to attend one of their meetings. I'm pretty much the only atheist in my family. At any rate, I decided to "share on Facebook" the fact I'd...

Whew! I had a hard time keeping a lid on this one :) Godless Billboard Appears in the Chicago Loop

Ok, a tiny bit of backstory: There were two newspapers available in Tucson up until May: The Tucson Citizen (a local newspaper) and the Arizona Daily Star (a Phoenix-based newspaper with statewide news slightly biased towards Phoenix events). In May, the corporation that owns the papers decided...

Terrorists torture boy I submit people who worship a thug who allows this to happen are subhuman sycophants. And yes, the kid could be lying out his ass, but stuff like this happens to children, and without doubt.

Being an ex-teacher, in the Bible belt, I had my fair share of hearing, "Well, you should teach both sides." This is the way the conversation usually goes... "Okay...Both sides," I begin. "There is a belief, some people have looked at a few different animals and connected the dots. Some...

Someone recently told me that being Christian isn't about religion, but about relationship with Jesus. I happened to have heard the Atheist Experience episode a few days ago where they mention this, but when I went back to check their argument, it basically said, "no other relationship depends...

Since there is no evidence for a God whatsoever, what are the believers logical definitions of God besides obviously manmade [and thus: stupid] scriptures? :)

From WorldNetDaily via the Daily Beast: God told Joe the Plumber not to run for public office.

God will save you - believe in him or not. Love the top photo. He'll save you from an earthquake even if you're a heathen Chinee. House and village not included. I guess the author of the article believes Pascal was wrong.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/5603096/Two-thirds-of-teenagers-dont-believe-in-God.html Some rational thinking, if we can believe the survey.

Yes, this is ignoring the whole "God doesn't exist" thing. So sue me. Also, Deists need not apply (nor anyone that does not believe in Hell or any kind of punishment in the afterlife). God doesn't love anyone. Not me, not you, no human on planet Earth. I use the same logic as I would, in...

God has been proven to exist based upon the most reserved view of the known laws of physics. For much more on that, see Prof. Frank J. Tipler's below paper, which among other things demonstrates that the known laws of physics (i.e., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, general relativity, quantum...

The following is a response to a letter from someone who asked Bishop John Shelby Spong who he prayed to.: I suppose that it is almost universal for human beings, who have the ability to embrace the vastness of the universe and to ask questions about life's meaning, to yearn for a protective...

I just noticed that the DVD for "Letting Go Of God" became available last November. It's Julia Sweeney's one-woman show about her loss-of-faith story. I saw her give it a few years ago, and liked it a lot. www.juliasweeney.com On Amazon...

A letter writer posted on mlive.com, asked why Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger didn't mention God when interviewed for 60 Minutes. http://www.mlive.com/opinion/muskegon/index.ssf/2009/02/letter_why_didnt_flight_crew_m.html The letter posted is short, but the opinions are interesting. :)

There is no disagreement science cannot look for gods that exist outside of the Universe so we can dismiss that issue up front. I propose looking at the problem of testing for gods in a different way. I'm having a unsatisfying discussion with one person on the SWIFT blog so I thought I'd open...

In a previous thread Hypnopsi, championed by Malerin, claimed that idealism is more pragmatic because the notion of God is more supported by what we know than the notion of Matter. This argument is invalid. For an entity to be sure of anything, there must exist a referrent. For an entity to...

Hello everyone. Early this evening I was having a debate/discussion with my friend that began with the Hot-Burrito-Paradox. I don't know if that's what it's properly called, but the general question is: if God is omnipotent, can he create a burrito so hot that he can't eat it? My friend stated...

Yes, I posed this question in my thread "Evidence for why we know the New Testament writers told the truth" which is located in the History, Literature Forum section. One person implied it was off topic, one person said I was playing a guessing game, one person changed the premise of the...
