Why do some agnostics seem so gnostic about this?
I've seen it many times. someone agnostic will say there is "no way" to prove or disprove god's existence. The question I have is how do you know there is no way to prove or disprove a gods existence?
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow many Religions do you think are wrong?
Can you name the ones that are wrong?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHave you ever noticed?
Have you ever noticed all the pseudo-proof, that anyone offers for "their" god can almost always be applied to any of the god? For example, look at the world around you can't you see it couldn't have happened by chance.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow many miracles have a direct correlation with your religion?
Seriously. When you say a miracle happens, what happens in that miracle that associates it to your religion? How do you know wasn't some other deity? How do you know it wasn't just coincidence?
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoShouldn't you be looking for signs of evolution?
To any religions person who blindly follows. Shouldn't you do everything in your power to push the evolution theory forward? I mean if you want to disprove it then we need proof on the contrary. Find every fossel and everything needed in order to prove the theory. If you truly believe that evolution is faulty, then you will prove it by lack of evidence and not simply dening it. Think about it. What better way to squeltch any opposition than to move it forward to the point of its own retardation? Or are you afraid that you might prove it was evolution after all?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is the difference between Reality and Fantasy?
Not looking for a dictionary answer, but thats ok too. What does reality and fantasy mean to you. (in your own words) If might help if you state your religions beliefs.
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoEven if there were a god... a second question?
Some said "God doesn't need us, we need God". This is even more confusing, why would a god that didn't need us create us to need god? Why create something to need you? Sounds incomplete to me.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow many Atheist enjoy watching Professional Wrestling?
You know the fake stuff. Just curious. No I don't watch it.
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoFree to choose?
If a man takes your loved ones hostage. Then tells you to do whatever he says and if you don't he will kill them. I can clearly choose not to do as he says and they will die, but is it a fair choice? This applies to Christian god too. He is holding our souls hostage forcing us to follow Jesus in order, and if we don't he sends us to a horrible place known as hell. This doens't sound like the loving, caring god I hear christians talk about, it also doesn't even sound like a totally free will. In fact the cost of using that will is hell. The only major difference is the man holding our loved ones didn't say he loves us.
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoTwo types of People?
I am wondering what type of person you are. (Generally I am not asking if you are this way 100% of the time, but in most cases)
Are you someone who trusts until you are given a reason not to?
Or someone who doesn't trust until you are given a reason so?
If you would be kind enough please state your faith/lack there of.
22 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoFor those of you who believe that "Those who have never heard the name Jesus will be saved"?
This may sound strange to you, but if you really wanted to save people why would you tell them about Jesus? I mean if you just stopped talking about Jesus and the bible, everyone would be saved according to this right?
20 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy is any of it important?
Religion or no religion. Why is life important? Why does what you do in life actual do? Lets say your religions and you go to heaven... then what? On the other hand you just become worm food. Your existance is nothing again, why was what you are doing in life really all that great?
14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy did god choose man to spread God's word?
(specifically Christian Belief system) I don't get it, couldn't god have just spread the word himself. Why did he give man the responsibility. Man is easily corrupted. If god had just sent his words to us in our dreams or when we were born at least, then everyone would know the words right? How many people in 3rd world contries die before knowing anything about your God. It just don't seem like the most responsible decision.
32 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat exactly does praying for other people do?
I saw a question that made me thing of this. I am agnostic asking christians. If your an athiest I know your answers and I am fine with it.
Lets say for example a kid is dying. You pray to god to help him right?
Would god not help him if you didn't?
Would god help him more depending on how many people pray? This just doesn't make any sense to me. If god is omnipotent/omnipresent shouldn't the need for the child to be healed be the only concern of a god.
What exactly is your prayer going to change or help? This will probably result in a follow up question(s), so keep looking for me.
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoBorn unto Sin?
Why is it that when you were born you were a sinner?
22 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy would a god want/need/ask for our faith?
What purpose beyond self satisfaction would an all powerful, all mighty being have for wanting us to believe it exists on faith alone? When a man tell you he has the cure for cancer, but you have to give him all your money and possessions first, you should't believe him. What reason does god have that he/she/it could not just outright tell us? Is it just a game, find out how many will follow me if I don't do anything for a few 1,000 years? And for those who say, "I have not heard from this god", I shall punish and sent to hell for not following someone who has not provided me with enough information to believe in them. The bible isn't evidence of gods existance, but evidence that man believes it to be. You a human cannot pronounce gods existance, only a god can. You can use fear to try to convince people to follow, or you can use tricks to make people believe it was god that helped them but you cannot prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt that is was god and not just a persons will
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoDefine Consciousness?
Atheist, agnostics, and religious folk. How do you define Consciousness.

14 AnswersOther - Health1 decade agoRe: Why are cell phones allowed on planes but not allowed to be used? If they are dangerous why not ban them.
Ok some people posted it messes with communications. Doesn't that mean if Terrorist brought a lot of cell phones onto a plane they could start to cause a big problem?
4 AnswersAir Travel1 decade agoWhy are cell phones allowed on planes but not allowed to be used? If they are dangerous why not ban them.?
Liquids are no longer banned, but why were there such an urgency to ban them when cell phones apparently can cause a dangerous situation on a plane. Isn't that an oppurtunity for disaster?
