We are all entitled to our unique beliefs. However, I don't agree w/those who feel the need to attack the beliefs of others simply because they do not align w/their own.

Women get pregnant all the time without sex. It's called artificial insemination.
The only difference is that man uses scientific equipment. God uses His will.
I don't know why people think that man can easily do something that an Almighty God cannot. “God uses his will” That sounded rapey as hell.

There's a difference in disagreeing with people on the topic of religion and disrespecting, belittling and insulting the beliefs of others.

He thinks religion is the only reason people do anything.
As if we didn’t have people exploring this country for non religious reasons.
Apparently Jesus was the one who said “no taxation without representation”.
I can’t find that anywhere in the Bible, but supply side Jesus might have his own version.

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term:
"Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities.
1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2) Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it ? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year that "It will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then (2) cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic."
The student got the only A. Now that is true wit and funny as hell! Hmm must be nitrous oxide in hell too if it makes us laugh so much =P

I'm not a man who puts much stock into religion in general. Religion to me is just the clothes you wear to make peace with your spirit.
I am a Christian because I believe what Christ proclaimed when he said the only way to heaven is through him. I believe you have to be baptized as a way of publicly proclaiming your faith and to be obedient to God.
You either believe in Christ or you don't. It doesn't matter what denomination you are or whether your Catholic or not. I don't really think one is better than the other but each just comforts people in their own way.
I don't believe Jews or Muslims will go to heaven because they deny Christ. Atheist don't want to believe in God or Heaven or Hell and that is their choice. I think it's a poor choice but that is between them and God and he doesn't force anyone to believe in him. I don't believe they are evil or bad people. I don't believe in hating anyone because they disagree. However I am a Christian so I believe what Christ says over anyone else. Either they are right or I am along with hundreds of millions of others.
I don't believe that Christians are better than anyone else. I just believe that if your a true Christian than you will repent of the evil that you do and that you will be forgiven when you give up enough of your pride to ask for that forgiveness. Repentance means you try your best not to keep doing the same wicked things over and over again. Saying your sorry but then you just go out and do it again is not repentance.
To me excessive self pride is the most dangerous of things because it blocks you from seeing your own faults and correcting them. I mean you can't be forgiven if your too proud to ask for forgiveness. Most people avoid Christ and God simply because they are too proud to admit they have done anything wrong.
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

You think that's bad they believe she got knocked up by the invisible boogeyman. The only woman to get pregnant without having sex. Which is impossible but people believe it. I think it's safe to say that if there is a God, he can do things beyond what you are able to comprehend... The notion that God can't exist because humans can't explain miracles is the non-believers weakest argument. If you believe in God, miracles are possible... if you don't, they are irrelevant.

Yet your theory goes against what the Bible teaches. So it's impossible to derive your theory from the information obtained in the Bible.

I'll say it again, because I'm not getting through to some of you people:
Atheists don't 'choose' to not believe in God, heaven or hell. We just DON'T. Everything in life is a choice. You were told God existed. You choose not to believe what you were told. Therefore you choose not to believe in God. It's ok. It's your choice and your free to make it. God is a potter who makes a lot of pots. Some crack in the fire and get thrown out. Some survive it and become useful pots with a purpose. The pots are not evil, bad, or good. They are just pots. What makes the pots happy is to be filled up with purpose and be useful. Isaiah 64 vs 8 and 9 "Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people."
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

Many people have purpose and are useful without believing on God. Many are fine, upstanding, charitable people without believing in God. Many wonderful people do not believe. The two don't have to go hand in hand.

Razor, I'll put it another way:
I didn't choose to be a Browns fan, it just happened. I haven't been able to change my Browns fandom in 31 years, I mighta done it years ago if I could, and be celebrating another Patriots title.
Not everything is life is a choice.
As Brother Lampdogg said in his immortal teachings....
"The mind struggles to control the heart
For the heart, in light or in darkness, knows what it most desires
Praise the Lord and pass me a beer... It's game day at the pound"

I didn't choose to be a Browns fan, it just happened. No... there are two ways that we become something: 1. Genetics 2. Choice Now we can jokingly say that being a Browns fan is genetic, but it's really not. For most of us it is just a choice we made as a kid that was heavily influenced by the people/factors in our lives.

I became a browns fan in 1985 when I was 11 years old. I started to really like football after playing it with friends and turned on my first browns game and never looked back.
