I know you religious lot, don't think its religion's fault, which is silly, but for everyone else.

What do you feel is the most effective way of stopping continual religious violence?

Evil Atheist Liberals trying to take the East out of Easter?

Beyond Palestinian tactics of killing innocents (which is horrible) why do you continually support Israel?

Helping the Jews build the 3rd temple, and Jesus/rapture still doesn't come?

Will all the people giving money to snake oil salesmen claiming to help the Jews rebuild the temple get a refund?

I asked earlier how anyone could see religious as anything but harmful given the results in Israel, and recieved a bunch of answers claiming it isn't religion's fault, that it was political or about territory or, my personal favorite, that kids fight in the playground so thats what adults do, too....

But, honestly, you don't think the Israel situation isn't motivated and maintained by religious expectations of worshiping the 'right' God?

Isn't the reason the 'promised land' is called that is precisely because someone believed they were destined to own it as a promise from God? Aren't Palastinians defending it, assured that they will achieve paradise if they die as martyrs for thier God?

What else would possibly motivate humans to fight over a rock strewn mount in the desert?

Reliance on faith is harmful, because there is no way to prove faithed motivated expectation, so there is no way to defend against it, because reason is ignored to maintain it.

It is so abundantly clear to me that reliance on faith and invisible deities leads to horrible behavior. Why is that so difficult to see for so many other people?

If God created all law, then was eternal torture his choice? If so, isn't that incredibly immoral?

Details: What can I do about this? I'm very scared and this has never happened to me before. How am I going to fix my hair and check if there's something in my teeth?!?!

I am reading a bunch of questions about the irresponsibility of the faithful parents, and their actions of faith instead of taking her to the doctor.

But does God bear responsibility, given his claims in the bible about faith and protection?

I believe that if God exists, he has some splainin' to do, I think people are ignoring the incredible amount of honest faith it takes to watch your daughter die, while you pray for God to heal her. If anyone could move a mountain, its parents like these. Yet God chose not to bless their faith as promised in the word.

Does God deserve to be questioned over this situation?

Every couple of months I like to ask my fellow evolved monkeys and created friends to share what music they are currently into just to help me explore new spiritual paths in music.

So Who are you into right now?

What is your current favorite song?

Current favorite Artist?

All time favorite song or artist?

Thanks...

Please help

I just finished watching a video called the last Lecture by Dr. Randy Pausch given in September 2007. I am always the last to catch onto these things, but it was so inspiring I thought I would share with my friends here on R&S. It is 10 minutes, so star it and watch it when you have time.

Question: How would your religion or lack of it cause you to behave with your final 6 months of life?

Have a wonderful night all...

Its Friday!!!!!

FF this to minute 1:48 seconds, and answer the question posed?

Lots of interesting perspectives on the rest of the clip....

Those of you with a sense of humor enjoy, those of you without one......well I guess life is without much enjoyment isn't it?

;-)

One of the reasons, I rejected Christianity is because it caused be to adopt a belief that the world was degrading morally and would require destruction at the hands of God. Accept of course for other 'good' people like myself.

That was a negative and destructive view of life, and didn't even reflect the reality of a socially and morally progressing world.

So is religion REALLY good for mankind, if it promotes the expectation of the worst in all others that don't share religious belief, and causes people to justify the extinction of those 'others'?

Whenever Atheists bring up Old Testament stories about God's behavior and rules, the response is that the OT is only for ancient Jews and that the Laws and stories in it no longer apply.

If that is really the case, why even include it in the bible, other than to confuse non believers into thinking God was cruel at one point in time?

I used to think it did, when I was an agnostic and while I was a believer.

Now that I am an Atheist I don't see it that way at all, for me, it is simply a lack of evidence and the existence of tragedy doesn't even come into play.

Do other Atheists feel like the existence of disease and tragedy disprove God?

And do Believers and agnostics feel like Atheists all feel this way?

Here is the song, if you haven't heard it:

Why do you look down on your fellow tribesmen?

Non believer here...just wondering why it is ok use the missing gold tablets that Joseph Smith claims existed, in the light of the missing ark of the covenant that the Israelites claim existed?

Seems earilly similar to me...
