We're atheists. What's God going to do about it? Not exist at me?

I&#039;m sure atheists view it pretty positively. Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:13:59 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8506273 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8506260 Atheist want evidense.

My question is, what pills and how many will for sure do me in? I don't want to wake up in a hospital room with brain damage and a huge bill.<br /><br />Golly, I don&#039;t want that to happen either. How about you avoid the eventuality by not killing yourself?

We&#039;re not. We&#039;re all going to hell whether we convert people or not.

You could just mention she had a lisp, and maybe hae other characters comment on it. You could always spell it out (I tend to favor that), especially if she&#039;s a minor character who...

I have to ask: What makes a good young adult fiction novel?<br /><br />Vampires, apparently. But in all seriousness, I think for a young adult novel it&#039;s good to have a happy ending (I&#039;m a sucker for happy endings) and include deep themes, but present them in a way young people can relate to.

But the problem is tht I can nevr finish them! I get so bored with it tht I just abandon it & move on 2 something more interesting 2 write about. How do I stop this?<br /><br />Ha, my sister does that too. Try writing out the ending of the story when you start it, so you know where you&#039;re going and have something to shoot for.

It sounds like you&#039;re saying that miracles shouldn&#039;t be used to justify faith because there are no such things as miracles. What exactly do you mean?

It&#039;s always fun to give gifts, and I get to spend time with my family. Plus there&#039;s candy canes everywhere. All in all, I love this time of year!

In other words. Do you really think that God is not going to disclose Himself to you at some point so you can make your decision?<br /><br />Um... yeah. Obviously. If an atheist thought God was ging to &quot;disclose himself&quot; at some point they would be - oh, what&#039;s the term? - NOT an atheist.

Why then can they not extend to me the same courtesy?<br /><br />Golly, I guess I&#039;m just a big jerk, aren&#039;t I? What with all the times I&#039;ve personally attacked you impeded your worship. (That&#039;s sarcasm, for the record.) Look, I&#039;m frequently snarky on this site, I&#039;ll be the first to admit, but don&#039;t say I don&#039;t support...

It&#039;s by far the most awesome, and Im not gonna lie, my decision is influenced heavily by the fact that Toph is the Chuck Norris of avatar.

Other than that the grease goes on the dogs&#039; food.

Or an option that the question asker can set, "too many people use/abuse the rating system as an "I don't agree" rating...<br /><br />I disagree. I rarely comment but uprate all the time. I uprate questions that I think are good, useful, or funny; sometimes I just go around randomly uprating because being uprated is always nice. And I always uprate answers to my questions - every single one. If I - and everyone else - had to...

Rhetorical questions are sometimes asked for a laugh (which I can appreciate) and inflammatory questions can be kind of fun - you love to hate them. My only complaint would be with useless questions: statements and...

But I do want to caution you against excessive chivalry. Personally I find it irritating.

You know, an equal opportunity spewer.

Are they trying to learn or are they putting down other people's beliefs?<br /><br />Both; a lot of people are really curious and the great thing about AB is that you&#039;ll get answers from people who actually practice the religion in question. You can read about a religion all you want, and proabably get a pretty good understanding of it, but personally I think it&#039;s best...

Your metabolism will slow down to fit your eating habits, so drastic dieting only hurts you. Eat healthier instead (less junk and more fruits and veggies) and not only will you feel great, you&#039;ll lose wieght.

Most people are good because they want to be, not because anyone else does. Or so I hope.

I&#039;m sad for any lion in a den of Daniels.

Some people honestly are curious, and it&#039;s nice to inform them. Some people are morons, and it&#039;s always nice to laugh at them. Either way I&#039;m sure to get entertained somehow.

(Stay with me on this one.) There&#039;s a bias present, I find, which leads people to assume that every non-insertreligionofchoicehere is just an insertreligionofchoicehere who didn&#039;t know any better....

A lot of gods seem kind of unpleasant to me (a major contributor to my atheism was my growing conviction that if god did exist, he probably didn&#039;t deserve to) and not like the kinds of people we want running everything.

If yes, then why, when you could get away with saving a ton of money?<br /><br />I enjoy giving gifts ths time of year because I like to see people smile. I guess Christmas is just a convenient excuse for me to give my family and friends gifts and bake inordinate amounts of cookies for people. True, I could save money if I didn&#039;t, but what fun would that be?

Do they live in your neck of the woods?<br /><br />Chiggers suck. They&#039;re the larvae of some mite or another, closely related to ticks. Although they have six legs at that stage they are arachnids; not that you can tell since they&#039;re almost invisible. Chiggers don&#039;t burrow into your skin, and by the time the bite has begun to itch...

They are so cool.<br /><br />They are cool, and they make great pets. we used to keep them when I was a kid; we had one live onour curtains for several months longer than they live in the wild (I guess our kitchen had a more hospitable climate!).

Also, it&#039;s my personal belief that the guy was a ditz. Without any exposure to suffering, he could not be compassionate; without any compassion, he could not have understanding; without any understanding, he was kind of thick. Probably naive.

Man evolved from monkeys. No matter what you or anyone else says ever, the theory of evolution claims that man evolved from monkeys. 2.

If religious people are envious of our lack of decency and human emotion, though, they can feel free to convert. It&#039;s not like you&#039;ll feel bad about it afterward.

I have a statistics exam in 5 hours to study for and I'm a bit drowsy and feeling unmotivated. Would you kindly offer me some assistance, motivation, or encouragement?<br /><br />Forget THAT, you need caffeine. I&#039;m in almost the same boat, except my exam&#039;s in anthropology (so way easier) and I&#039;m really only up to finish an assignment. It might help us both to get off AB and just get to work.

Maybe it&#039;s the technology we have now to depict things; what really scares you ought to be what&#039;s in your head, not what you see on screen. A good horror movie should make you think of something terrifying instead of...

My name is "Aryan" it means Country of Iran and inderct to a Persian Hero but Cursed Hitler used "Aryan" as symbol of racism , I love my name do you think I should change my name does it bother you<br /><br />The negative connotation is unfortunate. That douche also ruined the toothbrush mustache for everyone! If you like your name, you shouldn&#039;t change it because of Hitler - then it&#039;s like he wins.

You might still get docked points though - I swear people just randomly go around downrating benign questions for...

Agree or Disagree?<br /><br />Well, you probably ought to have a more compelling reason than &quot;I don&#039;t like them.&quot; So tentatively agree. Why tentatively? Two reasons: Firstly, not everyone who hates gays does it for brownie points from upstairs. And secondly, proving god&#039;s existance seems like an awful lot...

Is it true that meds hurt creativity?<br /><br />I don&#039;t know about effects on creativity, but I have heard negative things about medication for that disorder. But that&#039;s no reason not to take action. You still need to see a doctor; that&#039;s a tough thing to deal with on your own. Remember, they may not prescibe any medication, and...

Thing is, I'm not depressed right now- the super opposite- but I know it's coming back, I can feel it, and I also know that when it sets in, I won't be able to tell. It's like the 5th "cycle" so I know.<br /><br />Just tell her. In my experience, if you don&#039;t do anything about it, it just gets worse. If you&#039;re living with your mom, I assume you&#039;re still in school? You could try seeing the counselor there.

Some atheists may have no faith in man whatsoever, and, conversely, many religious people do have faith in man to solve his own problems. B: Man does solve his own...

If you believe 100% that there is nothing after this life and we all just turn to dirt, then surely there's no point in anything?

OK, why DOES the LDS Church prominently use this & other occultist symbols on it's Temples and not the cross?<br /><br />Here&#039;s a crazy question: Who cares? So what if they use a pentagram? It&#039;s not like it means they&#039;re worshipping your devil. Anyway, that symbol didn&#039;t always have a negative connotation.
