The truth is, the church (take your pick) is not at all interested in saving soulsthey only want you as a follower so as to contribute to their tax-free empire.

I can accept that if you believe that,.Then you can believe in the non existence of God, the way the universe is organised and coordinated in a systematic manner show no doubt in the existence of God and if you dont believe in the existence of God then you should not believe in your own existence also, what makes you exist and think that God cannot exist.? This is one of the many reasons we need to rid ourselves of this disease/addiction known as religions and god belief. I am also convinced from amongst us their have been great men I.e. Lies on the lips of a priest. some believers out there think that religion gave us morals, well I would say that concept of morality fell short on the African slave trade, hell pontif nicholas IV signed off on the African slave trade. Your bad. CENSORSHIP perhaps, or maybe I just missed it in the thread In either case, what I 'think' I said is something like "Bible Bully Christians (who ironically rarely read their bibles) and Atheists (A LOT of Atheists I guess I left out) seem to have one remarkable thing in common "Very few of you in either group respect the beliefs of other who do not believe what you do" I am very well informed of history surrounding religion, the good and the bad, there is a A LOT of bad, I get it I'm not so informed about atheism, nor do I care to be, I'm not an atheist.

I'm not a distraction for that. from plant growth to our digestive system to how a tree or baby grows, its all carefully thought out and planned so everything works. It the savage nature of mankind. Makes sense I'm more inclined to believe the big bang theory than anything. 'Think' about it, every religious book was written by man. 3) You clearly seem to think you know everything about God, the universe, and humanity so much that you take the words of 2000+ dead men and believe them over the reality that has objectively debunked them for technically millennia, not just centuries. Well aren't you arrogant, calling these people fools? Period. Wis.5 .. which there are many version of this book . For those of us that went to College we base our careers off of what we learned from the text books and we take it into the workforce. Your brain is fried. For you sir, are a bigot. Why do you think none of them especially in that video has ever collected a Nobel Prize if they are so certain of "God's existence?" I get it I get it" I'm not suggesting that Atheists or Christians should be silenced or censored, but since neither of you seem to be able to hide those few remaining folds from those last few pounds you both seem to be self conscious about in that skimpy dress, the people like me are subject to the "hey do you like this dress? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/28/christians-hold-group-prayer-against-lgbt-rights-at-san-antonio-city-hall/. Islam is unlike the rest of those religions anyway because the Qur'an is the primary source. 8 people who know how to "think" for themselves and look beyond a religious book to give them morals , *Cheers* to them. The same hold true with the Qur'an. They made shit up. One day their eyes will open and they will see how much less than bright they actually were. The author seems to think that they are. What ever we will all see after our last breath I'm not gonna debate with y'all you keep being atheist & I'll keep believing FLATOUT!!! I also love how you refer to us as fools simply because we don't agree or adhere to your baseless ideology. 2) You obviously have no idea what a Nobel Prize is and what it takes to get one. Who have taught man the path of enlightenment. Again, there are such things as "Religious/Theistic Scientists" who invented things such as "intelligent design" as "proof/evidence" that the world was "created." Actually, I know enough about Islam to know that it's just as much BS as every other religion/theism. You forgot schizophrenia when is God the good God and when is God the bad God. Helps the planet!!!" "The Earth, The Heaven's and everything in them are proof of God's existence. Belief is a waste of a life. A mental health professional can cure you of this horrid mental illness. So I'm quite sure those scientist do not need a man-made piece of paper stating that they are professionals in what they do." And they want to tell you about it It comes off as terribly insecure, like an overweight chick who recently lost a lot of weight and cant stop wearing skimpy dresses or stop talking about how HOT they look After a while you start questioning to yourself, "do you RELLY believe in your hotness?" This is silly, and scientifically unsound. Plagiarized works of fiction aren't enough especially ones that said we rode dinosaurs. All had Jesus beat ,into them and now dance like clowns in praise of it. I LOVE ERYKAH BADU'S SONG THE HEALER, SHE SAYS, "DONT BELIEVE WHAT YOU THINK, WE'VE BEEN PROGRAMMED, WAKE UP, WE MISSED YOU." This isn't God's plan for you If you aren't sure if God has led you into Christian rap, wait until you are. Then again, that's what you and ppl like you do. There must be objectivity and clearly there is none. If you are uncomfortable with giving up worldly pleasures, then acknowledge that and make peace with it. Your only "theory" has been based on Intelligent Design which you clearly noted in your post. Accept it, and get on with your life. This is sad and laughable at the same time. If Jesus is white and Jesus is god, that means that white people are god. It's clear they are lost because they are more closed minded than what we like to call "free-thinkers".

So no, we're not going to let live but we will live and you will have to cope with that on your own. No one knows the original looks like or whats been taken out or put in. Somehow that never did seem right to me. Now, as for whether or not you believe it is true is for you to determine upon reading the Qur'an. Yeah, because when you are actually challenged to give evidence that comes w/out bias that backs up your claims, you actually have none so let the truth be told. We should value that instead of religion. Keith, obviously cherry pick your scriptures, too because God created demons according to scripture just like he created hell and the Devil. Savannah Gardiner you do know that both Apple and Microsoft are founded by Atheist. Time and space/place have no beginning and no end. This is why religiosity and god belief are mental illnesses. Believe what you want!!! How do you defend sure an abominable and beastly creature? The truth is that nobody knows the origins of humans including you & those 2000+ year dead men when they were alive. Nice cherry picking the bible as usual. Jerome Gilbert If you have noticed, people regardless of who they are will use the Bible to justify any and everything that is a desire of their hearts and justifying of their lifestyle, no matter how GOOD or EVIL it is. " Carl B Grant , That's a good point. However, "The God" does exist. and i guarantee you that tyson is only an agnostic in so far as he doesn't discount the fact that anything is possible including some sort of god.

The biggest deception is Satan making you think that he doesn't exist. I'm para-phrasing but Allah puts forth this challenge in the book. Without the shed blood of Christ, there is no remission of sin. Joan Dean-Edwards Get ahold of Samuel Jackson then and tell him they are discrediting his name.

Love everything you said. Elliot C. Myrick Your 100% correct.But "Yeshua" is real, Alvin Knighton .It's not about the books. Peace! The biggest trick ever played by a group of rich, powerful people was to convince the dumbed down, gullible masses that there is a big "sky man who made it all, and this sky man wants you to remain completely devoid of freethinking in any way. But we get so caught up in the anger of our past, we just reject religion without searching for the deeper truth.

Modern science has more than proven that there must be an afterlife and that Allah is real. Do you only help others because god tells you to and you want to get into heaven??? What's more powerful than time/existence? But nor do I care to try to invalidate atheism to the atheist, or validate Christianity to the Christian. In one sense, that's true. Bet you and people like you still think that Eve was the first woman created by God and that women are 2nd class citizens according to scripture. Dwaine is right.

That is first of all. SOMEONE AT SPELMEN COLLEGE TALKS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT'S NOT TRUE! Yep, bigotry is also a major part of being a Christian. There is just no evidence for the religious claims that we all came from magic performed through dirt & air by a sky wizard calling himself "daddy/father."
