Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Why Atheists are right: 4 of 21
Professor P.J. Stated " I don't feel a need to defend my beliefs to an atheist-I'm quite comfortable with atheists; my atheist friends and acquaintances respect me and I respect them."There lies the key. Respect.I feel the same way in the opposite direction.I don't defend my non-belief to christians. I tell them what I think ... More..
Health & Fitness > Nutrition & Health Issues McDonald's Big Mac turned 40 in 2007: Time to retire this icon of unhealthy fast food?: 21 of 74
I can't believe this is even a debate issue. The simple answer is "No".I don't even like the Big Mac, and still the answer is "No"So you want to cite statistics, say it's unhealthy, etc.Fine.THEN DON'T EAT THEM.I have never seen Ronald McDonald hold somebody down and force-feed them a Big Mac and a shake.I don't understand th...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Abortion: 20 of 67
Honestly, this topic sickens me.How can you debate the right of a child to live?Yeah, I know I'm going to catch flack from all the women. "What do you know, you're a guy?"And I'll probably get some surprised responses from Christians seeing as how I have written many "Anti-religious" articles.But you know what?You don't have ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Was Mary Jesus' mother?: 10 of 29
On the surface this is a really stupid question. Of course Mary was Jesus' mother, that's pretty well documented.The true meaning of this question is "Was Jesus the son of God?"If you believe he was, then you almost have to answer "No" because you think there was a divine intervention there.If you don't think Jesus was the so...

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Is the Christmas tree a religious symbol?: 15 of 43
I have to agree with Cory. Yes, the tree is a religious symbol. But of which religion?Cory is correct in pointing out that it's origins lie in Paganism. that should not be a surprise. Christianity has no religious symbols nor holidays that are truly their own. They are all, every single one them, usurped Pagan rites and symbo... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms 10 things you would like to say to a rude customer: 18 of 46
Bravo to Rob.The "Customer is always right" philosophy is seriously outdated.The customer does not have the right to be an ass.My first official action when I was promoted to store manager of a very prominent Auto-parts store was to throw out a customer. Much to the amusement of my employees.He brought an item to the counter.... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Non-Christians' chance in Heaven: 59 of 138
You are technically correct in saying that that you are not religious. I think "Christian Fanatic" is more accurate.There IS only one truth. That truth is that God does not exist. You WANTING him to does not make him exist any more than my WANTING to fly will prevent me from falling off that building you spoke of.It's funny h... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Violators of gun laws should be prosecuted to the fullest, rather than restricting the rights of lawful citizens: 13 of 27
MidwestMike and Janet are showing their ignorance I'm afraid.Mike points out three examples of gun deaths in his argument about legally owned guns killing people.The only problem with his argument is that in all three cases the guns were obtained illegally.Janet says that you can get a concealed weapons permit at the drop of ...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism An atheist examination of the Bible: 9 of 16
I agree with the overall intent of this article. But a valid point was overlooked.The "Literal Interpretors" of the bible only choose those verses which they deem appropriate to be "Literal". All the others that point out God's shortcomings and cruelties are suddenly allegories. God didn't really mean what he said, either th... More..
