I'm an atheist, and I've found them a tad lacking. But I'm being serious, atheists, what's the best one you've ever heard? (obviously they're all bad, but maybe one made you think for a bit)

I'm going to college next year, and if any of my friends upload pictures of my "extra-curricular activities" to the internet, I'm in trouble. I'd delete them as soon as possible, but I'm worried a family member or employer could see them first. What do I do?

It's disgusting.

Jesus:

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. (Luke 19:27 KJV)

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; (Ephesians 6:5 KJV)

Jesus:

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:6 KJV)

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (1 Timothy 2:11, 12 KJV)

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. (Matthew 15:4 KJV)

Antisemitism:

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 KJV)

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. (John 8:42-45 KJV)

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. (Matthew 15:22-26 KJV)

Obviously it syncs your contacts, but does any information go FROM your phone TO facebook? Are there any down sides to doing this?

Christians, aren't you Atheists to most gods? Don't you not believe in Thor, Zeus, Vishnu, Shiva, or Muhammad? I only have one more on the list than you! we're closer than you'd think!

Also how do you dismiss Hinduism and Judaism?

I am working out and starting a diet, but I just was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks that could also help. Ex: drinking a lot of water, or something like that

I say yes, others say no. Thoughts?

If every Atheist left America, you would lose 93% of the members of the National Academy of Sciences, but only lose less than 1% of the prison population

I would prefer new, but used is perfectly fine

I only have money for one, which would you say is more interesting/informative

gang-rape, genocide, slavery, homophobia, sexism, infanticide, making a scape goat of innocent bystanders, looting, animal cruelty, ritual sacrifice and spousal abuse?

To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise without plunging into the fathomless abyss of dreams and phantasms. I am satisfied and sufficiently occupied with the things which are, without tormenting or troubling myself about those which may indeed be, but of which I have no evidence.

-Thomas Jefferson

Lighthouses are more useful than churches

-Ben Franklin

This would be the best of all possible worlds if there was no religion in it.

-John Adams

What has been Christianity's fruits? Superstition, Bigotry and Persecution.

– James Madison

Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.

- Thomas Jefferson

"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"-Article 11, Treaty of Tripoli

this last document was signed by John Adams, and approved unanimously by the US Senate

This has no bearing on the existence of God, I just found it very interesting.

"For me it was pretty simple. I'm actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend."-Adam Savage

And just so you know I'm not taking this out of context, the entire speech is linked below

Where does it say (if, indeed, it does say it) in the bible (King James) that Mary is without sin? If it does not say this, does anyone know the theological line of reasoning that led believers/theologians to this conclusion? I apologize for my ignorance, I am a non-believer and have not read the bible in over a year.

I personally would prefer someone else. I don't think he's qualified.

For some kind of discount?

Why did he put the snake in the garden of eden? When did he put the snake there?
