I am a flaming anti-theist and atheist, although I am open enough to say that IF and WHEN proof is provided for a god or gods, I will believe. I won't worship, but I will acknowledge it exists. In the interim, no amount of scripture-spewing will change my mind and "Look around, you can see God's work everywhere!" will just result in an Internet version of me curb stomping you.
Which version of the Bible is "correct" and which of the 33000 sect of Christianity is "correct"?
Also, why aren't Muslims, Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons correct in their assertions on God?
Why are any of them so arrogant to believe they have it right based on ONE. SINGLE. BOOK?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoIf your religion is against abortion...?
...why isn't it wrong when your god causes "spontaneous abortions"?
The idea that "it's his will" isn't good enough. Use your noggin and come up with a more critically thought-out answer.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoWould Jesus have preferred Twizzlers or Red Vines?

10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIn the US in the 21st century, are Christians persecuted?
Considering they're the majority in the US and no one is hurting them over their beliefs or trying to stop them from practicing, why do many cry persecution?
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIf Jesus and Satan...?
...ate pudding together in the bathtub, then why did the Doors placate the Mob with Toblerone?
You realize this is what a vast majority of R&S questions sound like, right?
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoThe great philosopher Pat Benatar once said...?
..."Hell is for Children." Was she right?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIf there were a separate category for atheists on this site...?
...do you think religious folk would visit us, or would they complain that we have our own category? And if they did that, would they still be angry we post in THIS category?
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoI need advice...even bad advice...?
I've had a friend since high school. We're both 45. She's a neo-conservative religious right type person and I'm an atheist. I'm working on my degree and minoring in human rights. She believes blacks are lazy and the white man is getting the shaft because he has to work harder to carry the black man. She abhors homosexuality. I'm a live-and-let-live kinda girl. I love her, bottom line. I do, however, believe she is being willfully ignorant of facts and statistics about racial divide in economy between blacks and whites. I can cite studies and have. She says she can, too, but is "too busy." My reasoning says to get out of this relationship while my history with her says I should just take her vitriol as her opinion and not engage her. What would you do?
2 AnswersFriends8 years agoIf Christianity lives by the Bible and the Bible supported slavery...?
Why are there black Christians? If Christianity lives by the Bible and the Bible specifically states women cannot talk to a congregation, why are there female preachers? Considering all the misogyny in the Bible, why do women adhere to its teachings? How are there gay Christians?
19 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhy didn't Jesus just choose to be a Time Lord?
That decision could have saved him a world of hurt.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoHow is Christ's crucifixion a sacrifice?
If he was resurrected days later, how is his "death" a sacrifice?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIf God instructs us to love our enemies...?
...are we not supposed to love Satan? He is, after all, the enemy of God, and 1 Peter 5:8 refers to him as "your enemy, the devil" or "your adversary, the devil."
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoIf Jesus was resurrected, how was his crucifixion a sacrifice?
One could argue it was a sacrifice, as it's an offering of something in exchange for something else. However, in the context in which it was intended, it is not a sacrifice. Jesus may have died for our sins, but he didn't stay dead, so why is it so important?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoAre there any Marxist ideas that coincide with the Boston Tea Party of 1773?
I'm looking for some correlation between Marx/Engels and the event that led to the US's revolutionary war. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
1 AnswerOther - Politics & Government8 years agoHelp with substitution and elimination, please?
I know how to do substitution and elimination when y is solved. However, I have slope-intercept formulas and I'm not sure how to do both with them. The equations are
y= 22.291x + 3519.4
y= 96.484x + 2062.4
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Picture of Jesus on the cross with YOLO across the top.
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoDid Jesus survive the crucifixion?
This is certainly a new slant of which I have never heard. But it's a very interesting read!
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoIf man was created from dust, why is there still dust?
"the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." NIV Gen. 2:7.
Now do you realize how stupid you sound when you ask "if man evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys"? Of course not. You still don't get it.
