    Does God have a right to take life?

    Buddhists are atheists. They are also spiritual.

    Does God have a right to take life?

    Well I'm an atheist and I think that given the definition of God in this thread then yes he owns your life and can do what he wants with it. God, by definition, is right. Whatever he does is right and he cannot be held to any of mankinds ideas of what right is. God is not obligated to keep me...

    Hell and reproduction

    Possibly. If by righteousness you mean doing what God commands, then yes it is different from morality. However I wouldn't mind reading your explanation about where you think the confusion is. Ok I think you're trying to imply that by not reproducing I'm controlling a potential future soul that...

    Hell and reproduction

    If my morality violates logic could you please explain how choosing a course of action that prevents souls from entering Hell is not good moral behaviour?

    Hell and reproduction

    I think the passage you're refering to is from Genesis: Actually that did cross my mind. I think an arguement could be made that we've multiplied enough, subdued enough of the earth and dominate enough living creatures that the statement can be rendered unapplicable at the current point in time.

    Hell and reproduction

    Yeah that would make sense if a person, an atheist for example, believed in heaven and hell. Then it would make moral sense for the atheist to sterilze himself/herself. However, as everyone knows, atheists don't believe in heaven and hell. It's Christians that do, and atheists have no obligation...

    Hell and reproduction

    No it's not. From an atheist perspective (i.e. this is the only life we have) it would not be more moral to start shooting people because they're going to die anyway. My argument has the opposite moral consequence, i.e. it's more moral for Christians to not reproduce because it means that there...

    I struggle with 2 Kings 2

    I struggle with Chrisitianity for various reasons. One of them is the passage in 2 Kings 2: I've talked to a true beleiver about this but I struggled to understand how she could just override the hideous barbarism and moral implications of it. Maybe if I could override the disgust I feel...

    Hell and reproduction

    Hi Given that there is a chance a Chrisitian's offspring may go to hell, shouldn't Christians have a moral obligation to not reproduce? In other words the safest way to spare more souls from eternal damnation is to stop having babies.

    How to find Jesus?

    Hi I'm trying to discover Christianity. It seems to me that a lot of Christians talk about having a relationship with Jesus. I want to find Jesus as well. How should I do it? I've tried praying but most of the time I don't hear anything back. What should I hear? What should I feel? How will I...
