obadiah777: BRAH THIS AINT EVEN FOR YOU. YOU ARE AN ATHEIST. ITS LIKE A VEGETARIAN ASKING HOW MEAT-PIE TASTE. WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MEATPIE TASTES ? STICK TO CELERY BRAH undecided
Exactly.

If I am a veggie who once ate meat and tasted meat pies extensively. What is wrong in complaining about using beef that has mad cow disease to make meat pies? grin

F00028: pure bull!

• Even in China an officially non-religious state. A recent study by Paul Badham and Xinzhong Yao for the Ian Ramsey Centre at Oxford University, reported that a majority of those[b] [size=16pt]felt[/size] [/b]religious experiences had a positive effect on their lives.

• In 2000, Political Scientist and Professor
Robert Putnam surveyed 200 volunteer organisations and it showed that there was a
positive correlation between religiosity and
membership of volunteer organisations.

• The Index of Global Philanthropy, 2007 states:
“Religious people are more charitable than non-religious not only in giving to their own congregations, but also – regardless of income, region, social class, and other demographic variables – significantly more charitable in their secular donations and informal giving.”

• In 2002 Bryan Johnson and colleagues of the University of Pennsylvania Centre for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society reviewed 498 studies that had been published in peer reviewed journals. They concluded that a large majority of studies showed a positive correlation between religious commitment and higher levels
of perceived well-being and self esteem, and
lower levels of hypertension, depression and
criminal delinquency.
Felt.... hmmmm....

The placebo effect.

Because you feel something does not mean it is so.

She wont care. In fact it will give her more satisfaction. You still have feelings for her and hence she can have you back if she wants.

If I were you I would move on and avoid her at all costs.

tobechi20: PLZ , I AM NOT SAYING RELIGON MAKES ONE MORAL OR THE RELIGOUS ARE MORE MORAL

am only imaginin an atheist society devoid of law system and curious to know how offences wil be handled

AM only asuming that a state made up of 100 percent atheist with no law,no constitution, no judge, no lawyer ., if one of them is caught comitin a crime wich is generaly acepted to be bad, what action would be taken?
Nice try.

Morals are a major driving force behind law. All societies have some form of law. Even lower order primates and some other species of animals show this.

RomanceRe: Your Wife Is Having An Affair by AtheistD(m): 2:02pm On Dec 12, 2012
I wouldnt waste my time with the guy.

If my wife was cheating i would really need to look at if I can forgive her, if she is likely to cheat again, what went down during the whole cheating situation before deciding whether to divorce her or not.

Imagine this scenario. She cheats on you with another dude, gets pregnant and the aborts the baby without your knowledge. If you discover all this would divorce not be the likely option.

CrimsonLove: why did u lie in the first place?

Tell that girl to talk to her bf if she asks u again. If she asks u again just tell her simply that he is not committed. Your only option was to say that u dont want to be involved but u already did that the first time you lied.
This really seems dumb but is actually the best solution in these circumstances. And since it has nothing to do with you then you have no reason to feel guilty.

I have been in this situation and did this... and it worked.
Christianity EtcRe: I Need Advice On How To Open My Church by AtheistD(m): 1:18pm On Dec 12, 2012
No minimum requirement. Just put some tents to start off with and then start your marketing ...errr... evangelising grin

You might need fliers etc. You will also need a minimum basic church setup. Try and start off with 20 and grow it.

I must admit this is hifhly unethical and I find it difficult giving advice to such. Why not just do one better and setup a small business because I can guarantee that you do not have a calling wink
Christianity EtcRe: Why Was Religion Created? by AtheistD(m): 1:12pm On Dec 12, 2012
majour: xcatly, religion has done ntin more than turn man into a doll, we act as puppets instead of gods
A true beneficial religion is a flexible religion that allows us to explore all of societies strengths and illnesses, gives us confidence in ourselves, allows us to be at peace with ourselves, grows/develops with society rather than being stagnant. Is non-canonical etc.

Ppl can commit atrocities making up any excuse but so.e religions almost make it too easy for these things to happen. Most religions today are psychological drugs with extreme side effects.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Was Religion Created? by AtheistD(m): 12:57pm On Dec 12, 2012

Religion is evolutionary.

Man would not be better without religion.

Religion is here to stay.

Religion is all about fear. It is a placebo to overcome fear and excel.

However most modern religions now enslave us with fear.

obadiah777: OH I SAID YAY. IS IT NOT OBVIOUS WITH THE SCRIPTURES I AM PULLING OUT wink
No it is not!!!!!

You have to summarise your points clearly. If I assumed yay, you could vehemently argue you meant nay. This is a common Xtian tactic in discussions. You bring out scripture with multiple interpretations to buttress your point.

Christianity EtcRe: Do Christians Really Have Faith? by AtheistD(m): 12:43pm On Dec 12, 2012
Some have faith but this faith is more a delusion than true faith.

Why are xtians so scared of everything they have to run like rats to every pastor or prophet to help or pray for them.

The xtians who have faith are those that put their life at risk for no physical gain in order to worship their God. A lt of Xtians in the north who still attend services with the risk of being blown up have faith.

So putting them in a hijab from head to toe makes them feel better about themselves?

Why dont we let women tell us what they want rather than deciding for them what they want.

FamilyRe: The Plight Of Nigerian Widows. by AtheistD(m): 12:14pm On Dec 12, 2012
A waste of time.

The only time something can be done is if it is written into constitution to give women equal rights as men in regards to property etc and constitution be above traditional and religious laws.

Right now it is tradition that is affecting women. When a man dies all his wealth are normally held onto by his siblings rather than his wife and kids. This is eeally shameful.
IslamAre Islamic Religious Leaders Failing Islam? by AtheistD(op): 12:01pm On Dec 12, 2012
Hello to all the muslims in the house smiley

As muslims are bound spiritually by sharia law and to my knowledge it is the religious leaders who impress this on the general islamic populace. Why is it that these same religious leaders do not make the effort to enforce or highlight this same sharia law on the aristocratic upper class?

Whenever a crime or a haram act is committed by an islamic aristocrat these religious leaders rarely raise any concern. They never criticise or raise action.

Isnt sharia law for all muslims?
Christianity EtcRe: Loophole In Atheism by AtheistD(m): 11:54am On Dec 12, 2012
I am disappointed in tobechi. He normally has much better posts.

Statistics show that some of the worst societies are the most religious.

Religion does not positively impact a society.

Also a thumbs up to wiegraf.

Christianity EtcRe: Falacies on Tithes, Pastors and private Jets By Dimba Igwe- Sun News online by AtheistD(m): 10:13am On Dec 12, 2012
Why is it that the churches that have business interests that bring in profits do not pay dividends to their flock who pay tithes? The tithe paying flock are technically shareholders of these businesses by virtue of their investing through paying tithes.

Christianity EtcAre Xtians Being Robbed In The House Of God? by AtheistD(op): 11:52pm On Dec 10, 2012
Why are xtians under so much pressure to spend when in the house of God? Church services have a whole bunch of different financial requirements like:
Tithes
Seeds
Offerings
Thanksgiving

Some churches even add church literature, anointing oil, blood of Jesus, holy water,

Some even have special spiritual healing services where generational curses, enemies etc are broken and defeated.

None of this is free. Now imagine how much all of this would cost an average church member. This would come to about 30% of their income.

This is too much shocked
