Such is the beauty of being an atheist my friends. May we continue to unite Christians, Jews and Muslims together in their common hatred of us. :amen:

I was contacted by the poster chadlovesjesus because we had a spirited discussion and he was interested in meeting some real life atheists. We both live in So. CA, and I organize a small atheist discussion group in my area. We have been planning to hook up w/ the local UU church, but I've...

Is this Romans 5? From here: http://bibleontheweb.com/Bible.asp Anybody got some Cliff's Notes?

Indeed. I also see that my definition of atheist is much more liberal than other's. This is all very informative though. Anyone else? :thumbsup:

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I certainly didn't intend to post any insult to Jews. But all I know about Jesus is what I have learned from debates with Christians. My purpose for asking the question is this: Christians are always asking atheists to "prove" that Jesus wasn't God, that he...
