The French revolution was after the American revolution and has no bearing on why people left Europe seeking religious freedom. Additionally, it was the Deist Thomas Paine that stoked Robespierre's rage and ignited the French revolution, not Atheists. Doesn't it just suck when someone destroys yo...

*and can't answer.

To give yourself more opportunities, do you believe in all gods or just one? Wouldn't belief in all gods further hedge your wager? Stopping at one God in light of all the religions on earth seems hardly more prudent than being an Atheist like myself.

There is no paradox. This is a false dichotomy. He fails to consider asexual reproduction and evolution leading to complex organisms that reproduce sexually.

You have to be intelligent to be a doctor, you have to be a genius to create this. Good call Misha.

@SecondComingOfChrist That something is possible does not mean it is likely. If a god existed and wanted to be known it could easily do so. It could guide you with real conversation, be visible by everyone and expound upon ideas that were unclear or misunderstood. Yet it doesn't. It doesn't care ...

Go figure, a book about crazy, unbelievable events (virgin birth, life after death, miracles, etc) warned about people who wouldn't believe. Surely it wasn't to protect the priesthood's income stream. No, had to be because they truly believed you'd burn for eternity for thinking for yourself and ...

@repentMARYworshipper - here's the flaw in your logic: A Mercedes, a painting and all other creations begin to deteriorate once the assembly process is complete. Life however, does not. It reproduces and evolves (vestigial organs and appendages are proof of this). Creation is for the inanimate, n...

@fuendezdo what good is free will without the knowledge to discern good and evil? Knowledge, not choice is freedom. If you cannot understand the consequence of your choice you are merely a pawn in the scheme of another. That is not free will. That is slavery of the worst kind.

God would be to blame (if it exists). Adam and Eve would have no way of knowing that disobeying God's commandment was evil. The fruit they ate was called the fruit of the knowledge of good or evil. If it was evil to disobey God, Adam and Eve could not have known, and thus were innocent.

@ thechristiancullen by your logic bigotry only makes sense to bigots, racism only makes sense to racists and if you aren't a bigot or racist you cannot critically examine those subjects because you don't believe in their tenets. Foolishness!

@SuperFifthwheel Religion isn't a part of the human collective, its a division of it. It seperates people based on their ability (or inability) to believe myths that are unproveable, unrealistic and are thousands of years old. Science on the other hand, is a methodology, provable and repeatable. ...

Have you been able to substantiate this w/ gps? If you're correct, gps (which uses triangulation) should provide further proof of your theory. It was gps that actually noticed the diameter of the earth shrunk 1/10" during the earthquake in Chile. I'm interested to see what is proven.

Christianity states that if you reject the intercessor, you will burn in hell for all eternity (retributive, although the severity of the punishment does not match the severity of the crime and thus would be unjust). Explain the God's righteousness in causing a moral person to burn in hell for an...

@lederereddy the first question you will need to answer is: why do planets & stars with sufficient mass form spheres? The second question (which will address entropy) is: In a sphere, where will the highest density matter composing the body of a rotating sphere eventually end up?

It would be easi...
