Mindfulness: Not until a mob descend on a person before you know there is stigma. corporate workers, contractors and job seekers who have experienced subtle but destructive stigmas can explain better to you. About your mentor, he is simply "researching for faith", religion proponent are so smart to have placed a burden of association on their members so that whenever they come across any conflicting information instead of asking more relevant question they choose to side with their faith. That is why you will see someone who just discovered how complex the brain is suddenly shout : "Glory be to god who created this". Just ask them what is the correlation between brain being complex and god and they answer with "did you create yourself" Your last point sound comical; how can you say evidence and "lack of evidence" are not mutually exclusive ? Finally, I understand why a no-believe life may sound terrifying to you, it is known that the most difficult thing to do is change one's believe even though there is no evidence supporting it. 3 Likes |

AmakaDNBStories: Exactly. It's a my way or the high way thingy. That's why many of these scientists have to put aside their religion and deal with science in the real sense of it and at the end of the day majority of them don't even have enough convincing reason to go back to it. |

EnlightenedSoul: Totally on point. Religion as we know it emphasizes the principle of "faith" because that is the only way any sane individual can toe such a line of belief. Religion forbids questions, critical thinking and analysis lest it's n.akedness be brought to the fore. Little wonder those who work based on evidence have little or no use for it. It's embraced fully by those who are too lazy to use their brains. 5 Likes

Science is all about observing, experimenting and stating facts based on verifiable proofs. Religion is all about make-beliefs; about what ought to be. Science and religion will never be compatible. True scientists and even the seemingly theistic ones know in their heart of hearts, that the idea of a biblical God is mythical. Einstein? He was always an atheist or should I say an agnostic whose agnosticism, which had its roots in his jewish lineage, bordered on atheism. 1 Like |

the religion as we know it limits asking question.. All u have to do is attribute every good strange thing to god and every bad one to the enemy.. And also believe that when you die,u'd have to go somewhere.. But that's not the way science works,science ask question and try to answer them through various research methods.. Religion and science are two unlike terms.. 5 Likes |

God is God, and God alone! Some people question that IS THERE GOD? HOW CAN I BELIEVE WHAT OR WHO I CAN'T SEE? Imagine your younger one did something wrong and you corrected him. If he asks you how did you know what he or she did is wrong, you tell him or her maybe your brain told you. He or she will further on that how can he believe you are right since he can't see your brain, feel or even touch it! And in the real sense, that's how it's meant to be. You can't say anything to win the child more than saying you just have to BELIEVE... or have FAITH.. or common sense has to tell him that! That's exactly God! You can't see, you can even feel God, you can't touch and what joins you to him is YOUR FAITH. God is God and he is God alone. Your creator, your lover, he doesn't want you to perish that's why he wants you to come back to him. There's a great difference between zeal and passion! God wants you to grow from one with ordinary zeal to one with crazy passion. If he leaves your life for a minute, you're dead for uncountable years. Jesus loves you, please accept him today! -Temitope Daniel Abimbola. www.temitopedaniel.com #NoSoulMustBeLost 2 Likes 1 Share |

If we compare d level scientist have reached, it’s very possible dat some1 can reach further Any sane person believes dat impossible is nothing, it’s the mata of arrogance, arrogance dat some1 cud be better dan dem They just believe dat some1 can reach d moon but reaching higher&seening the Angels & talk 2 his Lord is impossible (Prophet). They don’t want 2 be followers of any1 even if it was a Prophet, they don’t want2 imagine dat they will be judged by any1 even dat 1 is God!

[b]I'm sorry to say but the op is completely uninformed and has presented irrelevant facts and therefore they must be treated as trash. i am an athiest and a physics enthusiast. but i didn't become an atheist because i loved something more, i became an atheist because it was illogical to believe something that cannot be seen or measured. Faith as it is called is completely stupid. it's like saying "the sun is a cube" even when all evidence clearly points to the fact that the sun is a sphere. Quoting Neil deGrasse," if your personal convictions cause you to deny what is objectionable about the world then they are more appropriately called personal delusions" christianity wants me to believe the world is 6000, years old even when all evidence points towards the other direction, christianity wants me to believe that God created human beings, even though darwin's theory of evolution points towards the other direction scientists believe in evidence and proof and if you have no evidence that a god created the universe we live in, you might as well shut the Bleep up, and go sit in a corner [/b] 5 Likes |

I think it is because Science has evolved to the extent that scientist can predict,invent most of the things attributed to God, but as a christian I believe this doesn't mean there is no God,in fact it is a proof that there is God afterall he created us in his own image and according to John 14:12 he said we will do great greater things than him |

Joshuabase: 1. I am a christian and the earth is not six thousand years old . LMAO 2. There are atheists who are scientists or love science and dont see the theory of evolution as a plausible theory scientists believe in evidence and proof and if you have no evidence that a god created the universe we live in, you might as well shut the Bleep up, and go sit in a corner What proof ? 1. That life came from the non living without supernatural intervention- a hypothesis or has been replicated in the labs through experiments ? 2. Making up a theory that denies the first cause . No mentioned initial conditions . Go to sleep Joshua , you've made no point |

“I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.” by Albert Einstein “A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.” by Albert Einstein “Where knowledge ends, religion begins.” by Benjamin Disraeli “Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions.” by Blaise Pascal “Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.” by Chapman Cohen “What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.” by Christopher Hitchens “I do not believe in God because I do not believe in the Tooth Fairy.” by Clarence Darrow “I have observed that the world has suffered far less from ignorance than from pretensions to knowledge. It is not skeptics or explorers but fanatics and ideologues who menace decency and progress. No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.” by Daniel Boorstin “In fact, when you get right down to it, almost every explanation man came up with for anything until about 1926 was stupid.” by Dave Barry “Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people.” by David Viaene “I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.” by Doug McLeod “The meaning of life is that it stops” by Frank Kafka “Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions.” by Frater Ravus “The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.” by George Bernard Shaw “Atheism: A non-prophet organization.” by George Carlin “Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!” by George Carlin “I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.” by George Carlin “History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god.” by Giulian Buzila “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” by Greek Philosopher “Religion is like a virus that affects the behavior of its host in such a way as to propagate itself further.” by Jack Pritchard “The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear. ” by Jiddu Krishnamurti “A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition.” by José Bergamín “It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.” by Mark Twain “I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then sends me to hell if I’m ‘bad’.” by Mike Fuhrman “Organized Religion is like Organized Crime; it preys on peoples’ weakness, generates huge profits for its operators, and is almost impossible to eradicate.” by Mike Hermann “Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-o, and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have.” by Penn Jillette “Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.” by Richard Dawkins “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” by Richard Dawkins “I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.” by Richard Dawkins “If the Bible and my brain are both the work of the same Infinite God, whose fault is it that the book and my brain do not agree?” by Robert G. Ingersoll “Animals do not have gods, they are smarter than that.” by Ronnie Snow “If God created the world, then who created God? And who created whoever created God? So somewhere along the line something had to just be there. So why can’t we just skip the idea of God and go straight to Earth?” by Ryan Hanson “If we expect God to subscribe to one religion at the exclusion of all the others, then we should expect damnation as a matter of chance. This should give Christians pause when expounding their religious beliefs, but it does not.” by Sam Harris “When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life.” by Sigmund Freud “I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” by Stephen Roberts “Today’s religion will be the future’s mythology. Both believed at one time by many; but proved wrong by the clever.” by Steven Crocker “With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.” by Steven Weinberg 1 Like
