Starjumper the R&S Cow

Based off a previous question about these startling 'statistics' I began wondering what would stop an atheist from committing suicide? (Some) Christians have hellfire and eternal torment to look forward to if they commit this grievous sin.

What punishment would be appropriate for atheists?

I'm concerned about the durability of laptops vs desktops...I'm about to go buy a Samsung NP350 notebook, but I'm having second thoughts. Maybe a desktop might be a smarter choice?

Anytime a generation of humans has stood and announced they know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, where we came from and where we are going -- the future generations have always had a good laugh at this 'knowledge'. So why is OUR generation so special? Magic men in the sky, evolution from monkeys, heaven, hell...

What would a human, 400 years from now, studying posts from R&S think about our civilization and our intellect?

My son is in second grade, and he is an exceptional soccer player. The gym teacher decided today that the class should play soccer (boys vs girls) and my son tried to get the ball away from a girl and ended up breaking her leg. I was called to the school and one by one the teachers all yelled and blamed my son for being 'too wild' and threatening my son with expulsion. My question is... doesn't the gym teacher have some responsibility here?

Could it be that we got the translation wrong and it's actually a Pineapple? How would the Genesis account be different if the forbidden fruit was...say...a watermelon? Kiwi? MANGO?

Protestant? Born Again? Baptist? Catholic? JW? Mormon? ........

and WHY?

Chapter and Verse.

I only want SERIOUS answers here. If you aren't SERIOUS you can just click off. I'm SERIOUS.

He resurrected hundreds of people, but he always brought them back to earth to live out their lives (aka to get old, sick and eventually die AGAIN). Why didn't he just leave them in heaven where they were obviously enjoying their eternal reward (in the case of Lazarus, who was Jesus' best friend, he must have had it MADE up there -- but oh no, Jesus had to drag his tushy back).

Why would Jesus do this, if we are meant to go to Heaven?

...and atheists, if you could 'illuminate' just one Christian, who would you select?

Whaddidwedo?

Don't they know they can have them removed?

Seriously.

In the olden days 'christian' churches used to kill and/or torture those who left the church. Islam is no different nowadays in many parts of the world.

What about Atheists? What sort of inhumane punishment could they impose on such persons who leave the unfaith (disfaith? misfaith?)

Those of you who take questions from cows seriously need not answer -- unless they are overcome by a fit of silliness.

Apocrypha means Hidden. That's it. Hidden Gospels? What's so evil about that? And why is the Catholic Church in charge of which books get to be in the New Testament (and the Old)? Even Jude quotes the Book of Enoch -- but the Christian churches still don't see the value of such books. Why?

You've EATEN them, haven't you? I leave for just a few years and THIS is what I return to. Tsk tsk tsk.

I was feeling terrible, just awful...

then I found this cess pool and haven't stopped laughing since. You guys are wonderful, trolls and all.

Gosh darned me to Heck today (allegedly) and I was wondering if we get the same treatment in both places?
