Damn, this person is a failure who has nothing better to do in his life other than praise god on Facepalm, yet tries to convince others to be losers too. |

I'm Catholic and I believe that -evolution- was God's way of -creating- the life that is in existence today. Nowhere in the bible does it say that it was 6 days of 24 hours, nowhere does it say that we -didn't- evolve. So how can it be sacrilegious to believe in something science has proven a fact?
The bible was not written with the finger of God, it was written by man. No one knows who wrote the book of Genesis, no one knows where it really came from, so how do we know the story of creation wasn't just written by some fruity hermit who lived in a cave?
Think of all the contradictions the bible holds. What about the time Jesus blessed the bread and fish to feed the people to have their fill, and yet later he says "woe to those who are filled"? The bible's not perfect, neither is man, and neither are you, so loose the pretentious attitudes, you're not earning holy points by being sour to your fellow man just because he doesn't agree with you. |

Actually Mischief is right, I am very much an atheist, but i do know for a fact that Jehovah's witnesses are christian, they believe in Christ so much when they offer a prayer they do it in the name of Jesus Christ.I recommend you get your facts straight and not judge based on what they told you or what you heard but to actually see for yourself because otherwise you are nothing bot a mindless drone instead of having your own opinions. |

If you want o know about them pick up a watch tower and read it and it has a lot of direct references to the bible in every passage they are very much christian as a matter of fact, the reason they go door to door preaching is because its an effort to be as Christ like as possible and go make disciples of them just as he did.Even though they get made fun of yelled at, not getting paid they feel its the right thing to do so they go out and do it and I have a lot of respect for them. |

@Farside,
I think you need to show a little more respect. I don't appreciate the name calling and implying that i was analy raped by a priest. That was just low and immature. How about we act our age. Since someone who is "21" can't have a decent debate with a 17 year old, I'm out. Oh, and drat you. Now we're even. Have a nice day. |

Mischief, not to be a stickler, but a Jevohah's Witness?
They aren't even Christian (i.e. New Testament) since it revolves around Jesus forgiving our sins >.> |

@ Bumblebee the only explanation I can give is the one I believe its very long so I'll keep it short by saying you can study the bible if you really want questions to all your Christian questions ask a Jehovah's witness they give free bible studies and are always willing to answer questions. |

I think I know who just got into college with all their shiney words. Good for you! You're big boys and girls now and can spend all hours of the day discussing theology. Good for you I say. |

ok, so that brings me to another question. why did god stop revealing himself to the world in such obvious ways? Why did he at one point seem to think it was neccessary to expose himself in the most flamboyant ways possible, and now he is nowhere to be found? At least in the plague sort of red sea parting, every animal x2 on an arc sort of way. |

Yes you're right I mean I don't think God still punishes today. All that punishing that took place was BC and in each case BC he gave warning he was going to destroy them if they did not do a certain thing. |

"On a side note, questions like the justice of God, although I am intellectually convinced on how natural disasters and such can coexist with God, I am always emotionally unconvinced (Haiti, 911, Tsunamis, etc.)."Well than we're way of base aren't we. Besides I said before my concern is mainly with the damnation of people not givent he chance to be advised by the bible. Oh and am I completely wrong or did God not punish the egyptians by killing their innocent children? |

"I think the similarities between logic and God are important enough to make that analogy, and the differences between logic and God does not refute the analogy. They are both immaterial or conceptual by nature, they are independent of the physical world for existence, but their manifestation to the physical world does not have a bearing on its existence. The fact that logic can be defined this way and that God can be defined another way, or better yet, math can be defined this way and art can be defined that way doesn't preclude their analogies."This is a bunch of crap. I'm sorry, but your run around on words is just confusing manipulation to make a point that isn't there. Whatever similarities you might acertain, they have nothing to do with the specific way in which your comparing the two. |

Mercedzdanz, there is NO definition of Atheist which states GOD DOES NOT EXIST. The ONLY definition of Atheist is the literal meaning, "Without Belief". Being an Atheist simply means that you do not believe in any higher power as illustrated by religion. |

Mercedzdanz, I doubt you are intellectually convinced of anything. I don't think you're stupid because you're a Theist, I think you're stupid because you make claims such as the comparison between God and Hitler which led to your conclusion that if the existence of suffering leads us to believe God does not exist, or at least not a benevolent God, we must also conclude that since Hitler caused suffering he can not have existed. |
