    Neighbor making passes at wife

    Guess the trick is to be gentle but firm. I like how you lay out the reasoning. Hopefully and probably this won't happen again after the first conversation, thanks. Thanks, hopefully he gets it, but the weird thing is he's always complaining about wanting to get a divorce from his wife...

    Neighbor making passes at wife

    Thanks, no he's not Christian, but I think the part about asking him to respect our marriage sounds very clear and an excellent think to say. And hmm, yeah he is going through some issues in his marriage as well. He and his wife fight ALOT, and is not exactly friendly with us. But yeah I can...

    Neighbor making passes at wife

    Thanks all who read this thread. So we've been happily married for a year, and live in a small, dark apartment that has little security(neighborhood is nice though). This guy who lives in the apartment across the hallway from us is married, and has a daughter off to college. We've know him for...

    Religion vs religion vs science

    Uh, I've witnessed many people and family find peace and happiness with God during my journey. I can't speak for other religions, but comparing this is virtually impossible, no? I also believe they did surveys about how content or happy a person is, and Christians did seem to do better. Perhaps...

    Old and New Testament Discrepancy - What Gives?

    Good question, personally I don't know why the difference, but I do think they are two sides of the same coin. There were/are similar crimes and atrocities(baby killings, crucifictions, etc etc) going on in Jesus's time on to today, and there were acts of love, courage, forgiveness and humility...

    what does the commandment - 'thou shalt not kill' mean?

    If all due respect, it looks like you don't trust Christians, the government, AND the media. Which I can't blame you for, to be honest. Even WW2 I think had a LOT of people against it. If it weren't for Pearl Harbor, I wonder if America would have ever gotten involved, even if Britain had...

    what does the commandment - 'thou shalt not kill' mean?

    Uh, I honestly doubt that commandment had any effect on anyone's decision about wars, but perhaps you know more about Christians than I do. My parents traveled a lot when I was young, and I spent a lot of time in South Korea. It is exactly the type of war the people you mentioned would be...

    Why doesn't God reveal himself in a logical, evidence-based manner?

    Apologize for butting in the middle of a discussion, but I always thought this may be one of the reasons why God doesn't reveal himself in a thundering universe shaking sort of way. Adam and Eve experienced everything God had to offer, but you could argue they seriously lacked the...

    A story of a missionary losing his faith

    I like this. I'd argue further that perhaps they have not seen enough evidence.

    Can god make a rock so big even he can't lift it?

    Sorry if you took it that way, but I don't think your response would be much different if someone told you not to swim until you're good at it.

    Can god make a rock so big even he can't lift it?

    There are many interesting arguments as to why God may not exist. But honestly I don't think your question is not one of the more valid ones. You might as well tell your friend not to drive until he's good at it. Regardless, have your way sir.

    Can god make a rock so big even he can't lift it?

    Come on sir, are you honestly taking word games as a valid rational logical argument? OK, I'll reply with the same kind of logic as your question. Q. Can god make a rock so big even he can't lift it? A. A negative yes or positive no. Pick whatever you want sir.

    Another atheist/agnostic willing to answer questions

    Except my parents went to church after I did.

    Another atheist/agnostic willing to answer questions

    By the way, I noticed you love posting in threads where clearly Christians are discussing things and post your atheist opinions, dripping with sarcasm and superiority. Regardless of your beliefs, which should be respected, you sure do come off as rude and immature. Of course, many...

    Another atheist/agnostic willing to answer questions

    There are many Atheists who end up Christian as well. Including me. Looks like we share the same opinion in that I would be overjoyed should others should arrive at my conclusion as well!
