Get Over Your Fear of Atheism

where does it say that? that we will be judged by the amount of light we have? i've never heard that. please show more than one source.

maybe not, but you sure are (a hostile environment). yes, but your claim to this ultimate knowledge is baseless. there's no reason why you should have this ultimate knowledge when someone else doesn't. you can't generalize your assumptions any more than a christian can.Edited by brennakimi, : No reason given.

it is only different based on theology. but even that isn't consistent. not necessarily. i call myself a christian because i think it's ridiculous to change my title just because how i name what i've known all along has changed. reality hasn't changed, only my set of definitions.i'm tired of this argument. i just had to say something about it.

reasoning and reasonable are not the same thing just because they share the same root.and gravitation has nothing to do with faith.

that would be great and i'd be talking about thera (santorini) if there was any evidence whatsoever that the jews were ever in egypt. it is clearly a story made up to encourage the jews who were in exile in babylon. maybe no one can find the ark of the covenant because it never existed.i stopped going to church when i went on easter sunday 2004 and was told what a horrible sinner i was in a sermon about how thomas was an evil idiot for demanding evidence. it's a biblically insupportable position. but suddenly even presbyterians were insane.

this seems to tell me that christians aren't moral either. if none are moral, that doesn't leave people out just because they have the rulebook and know what they're doing wrong.

human conscience being biological does not preclude it's inclusion by a creative god. human conscience being biological gives more credence to this than human conscience being socially enforced as it's really rather silly to think that god aurally conferred it to all men.

i would suggest that you seek intensive counseling. chances are, you could be causing more damage to your children than a divorce would. i don't want to encourage you to jump the shark, but i want you to think more seriously about your issues. i think that its entirely possible for almost anyone to be in a healthy relationship with almost anyone else. you just have to be willing to work together. staying together for god and kids is a terrible idea. working your issues out so that this lifetime vow that you have made doesn't drive you to blow your brains out and destroy your kids is.

oh see. i thought you meant something else entirely.let's take this to a new thread. i have more questions.

i know. i'm just in a mood. comps and all. kill me now.

you claim to be able to know that there is no god. and you are terribly aggressive about making sure that you demonstrate your utter disdain for anyone who dares disagree with you. my fiance does the same shit sometimes and it really isn't attractive. god, at least agnostics are honest (and more honest than theists, i must say). but you don't even just disagree with theists. you undermine their very sanity, ability of complex (or basic) thought, and their right to participate in policy. yes, they often do the same to you, but just because you've got a different book in your ass doesn't mean you get to turn it around. it's like feminist misandronists. they're so intellectually irresponsible. and then i make a joke about how much of a pain you can be sometimes and you go off on me like anyone in the world agrees with my theology, like christians just open their doors to me.

and somehow you don't see the hostility of carrying on a conversation with someone for whom you have absolutely no respect or consideration based on one idea which may or may not be so adament as you claim. it's like you think you're some great high creature playing a nasty little game with a worm. it's really a horrible thing, and you should really think of better ways to occupy yourself.
