atheists

I am so tired of fundies telling me that the Big Bang proves God because everything spontaneously sprang from nothing. The ignorance of this argument is amazing and I'm ready to set things straight. The latest research into the Big Bang has coalesced the scientific community's opinion on the...

Since a good deal of people here are, indeed, atheist (or, at the very least, have questions concerning the existance of God) I was just wondering: How do you handle secular holidays? Christmas, Easter, etc. Do you just tell everyone not to bother adding you to their Christmas card list, or do...

As anyone who pays attention to the Christian Right knows, atheists have taken over this country and are working on outlawing Christianity. As an atheist, I am very interested in knowing how far we've gotten in taking over the government. I happen to know that none of the Presidents have been...

Let's say tomorrow God were proven to be true. Heaven, Hell, Jesus, eternal Salvation, eternal Damnation, Sacrifice, Resurrection etc. Then what? What would you do? Would you join Satan in rebeling against God? Or will you come to the winning team and spare yourself eternal torment in the lake...

If James Randi suddenly became a Christian,gave his life to Christ, became a reverend, started a Church, denounced atheism and begged all other skeptics to turn to Christ, what would you think? Would you open up your mind to the possibility that God showed James Randi the way and rethink your...

Period. I am sure there are some people foolish enough to not believe in God but I think the majority of ''atheists'' are just maltheists. Just look at the way people bash God, Jesus, The Bible, The fact of the resurrection that no historian disputes. May I ask a question to all the so-called...

The reason atheists can't be moral is because atheists do not live a life according to His Word. Every since the Original Parents disobeyed God, human beings have become naturally evil. If you use your own natural morals and not God's idea of morals which can be found in His Word, you are using...

Since 9/11 a very popular argument against God is ''If He exists, why did He allow 9/11 to happen?'' Answer: Because of Original Sin and Free Will. If God were to stop the terrorists He would be conflicting with their Free Will. Also I must ask you atheists: Why do you care about 9/11? I mean...

If you knew you had exactly 1 minute to live, would you repent to the Lord so you could enter Heaven?

Hey all, I have a question that I’d like to be tackled from the philosophical POV. I’m not going to judge right or wrong, moral or immoral, but this has been digging at my brain for awhile. From talking to atheists here and IRL, the general consensus seems to be when you die, that’s it, you’re...

Here are some samplings by some Sages at ChristianForums.com on atheists. Would you like butter on your popcorn? Settle in and enjoy! Thank you for your contribution, radorth. And here, a younger contributor: andrew dice clay "OOOOOOOOOHHH!!!"

Paul Krassner, Editor/Comedian: He states in his autobiography Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut "I had become an atheist at the age of thirteen, when atomic bombs were dropped on Japan." (pg 31) "I stand before you as an atheist, doing what men of the cloth should be doing." (pg 115)...

This past weekend I was down in northern California visiting family. On the way back to the Sacramento airport, we passed one of those "This section of road sponsored by..." roadsigns, and I'm 99% sure it said something like "Atheists and Other Freethinkers." Anyone know the story behind this...

The Commentaries of May 28 and April 16 both refer to laws in states requiring belief in gods to hold office. But in the April 9 Commentary a reader cites the Torasco v. Watkins ruling, saying, "...that the state of Maryland could not require a 'test oath' (one that affirms a belief in God) in...

The Website Answers for Atheists Page for Question 1&2 I have my own comment but will see what others offer first.

I didn't see this topic up yet but needless to say...it shows how tolerant Christian groups are of everyone's belief. It's also another step in the constant battle of Church and State. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/NEWS/StoryAlabamaATHIEST14W.htm Of course...the logical reason of the...

Idiots. So Atheists can't hold a convention over Easter? Sheesh. Colorado Gov. Snubs Atheists

The Observer, Sunday April 4th: A former Lancashire policeman has won several hundred pounds' compensation from his local council after being forced for several years to pay for buses to take his atheist daughter to a non-religious school. Children whose parents want them to attend a...

I was wondering if Atheists in general celebrate holidays such as Christmas or Halloween. Thanks for any replies.

Evidently, the married heterosexual Christian men want those little boys all to themselves.

I've been reading several statistics and they are contradictive. For example, one source says that in Russia the atheists+agnostics are 60%, and another source that they are 20%. In USA the number is somewhere between 1 and 7% ? In general, the countries with the most atheists and/or agnostics...

All explanations, hypotheses, and speculations are welcome here.

All speculations and explanations are welcome.

Okay, since most of the people on this board are loud and proud atheists/agnostics, I have a question for you. Well, 2 actually. 1. Do you attend funerals for lost loved ones/friends/co-workers, etc? 2. If so, why?

This gentleman's article is so wrong on so many levels that it is both humorous and painful to read. Link to article 94%? Is he lumping the Agnostic, and believers in other faiths together with the Christians? Personally I wouldn't work to ban a Christmas tree - I like 'em too much, and...

Wow. Article

I made posters for a atheist meet up at college and someone took them down! what to do?

I am pretty agnostic but I was reading "Does God believe in Atheists" by John Blanchard. Pretty awful book, but there were a few bits in there that made me wonder. One of his attacks on atheism is that it makes morality and ethics redundant. E.g. if we are just chunks of protoplasm floating in a...
