I'm a atheist, but regardless of whether intoxication is a sin, just don't do it. Trust me, I spent 6 months last year getting totally wasted, often passing out and generally getting messed up. It's not fun. And its not easy to tell yourself to stop once you start going. Don't drink until your...

God hasn't shown me anything, he hasnt even shown himself, a concept that you would think would be the first thing he would have done if he wanted people to believe in him. Instead I am suppose to believe that because a book tells me something, that I must believe it or be eternally damned.

....what? The son was born from the father therefore the son is God,.. sorry that quote was entirely confusing

God is not showing me the right way to act, because if he did I wouldnt have done so many stupid things over the years. No, I learned the right way to act the hard ways, learning from my mistakes.

If society goes against my beliefs, I won't change my beliefs to meet the status quo. I don't believe that lynching black men is right. However I would be lying if I said that my beliefs are entirely my own. If I was born in Europe I might have different beliefs than if I was born in the United...

It obviously is a option, otherwise everyone would believe in God including myself. If there were no option, then Free Will would no longer be free will. If God is real, then he has given us the ablity not to believe in him. I do not love others because of Jesus, I love others who love me back...

I was born and am being raised in a agnositc family. I haven't gone to church a day in my life. For those that do believe God and do go to Church, do you like it? What exactly do you do?

Why would I follow commands if I don't understand the orders or who I am being commanded by? Why blindly trust in something without a notion of who I am trusting?

The concept of Jesus is a bit confusing to me. Is he God's son or God himself in human form? But if Jesus is god, how can he be God's son? Was he a average joe who got possessed by God? What exactly was Jesus?

How do you know that they didn't recant but had the records wiped away by the church around the same time several gospels were removed from the bible for whatever reason. You werent there. And how does any of what you say prove that that a person who is dead, with little blood and a non-working...

Jesus wasn't resurrected because thats physically impossible. And I am not arguing that Jesus wasn't real, I think he was a poor jewish rabbi who most likely did not want a entire religion to be named after him, and did not want to see millions of people killed in his name.

And what evidence supports Jesus's resurrection other than the bible?

And that something quite unique in your opinion is God?

How would it be a sin to play a fictional video game that has no basis in reality?

I don't think anything is wrong with modern youth. People are beginning to think for themselves. I would say without a doubt that a majority of the Christians in this forum had christian parents. People just blindly believe in something without question because their parents told them to. I was...

All of the sources you have quoted were hundreds of years after Jesus's death. No writer of the Bible has had direct contact for Jesus at all including the very writing of his birth. I still fail to see how History proves God is real. Saying God is real because some writings in the bible detail...

The New Testament was written during Medieval Times, not the First Century. Again just because the bible has information on some events that may or may not have happened BEFORE it was written doesn't mean anything.

The Bible was written hundreds of years after Jesus's death. Historical events are just that, historical. Just because the bible has some elements of a history book doesn't mean God is real, it just means the people who wrote it likely had some idea of what was going on in the world.

Yep, sounds right. Driven a few times out toward hudson when I was taking the long route home from school on the country road doing 55-60. :D
