Evidence shows that victims of childhood indoctrination are highly suggestible and unable to differentiate between fact and fantasy.

Why does God ALLOW discrimination to continue against Women???...
Looker, you and your cohorts seem to think IF there's such a thing as a loving god, then he would be proving himself here today? For everyone to see!.....
Obliviously you've never read the bible?.....
otherwise maybe your questioning would have more relevancy? .....
Even the mediators say, "you gotta do the work"!.....
y'all seem to be trolling for bait....

Nah, I didn't get that stuff.
Okay W, what's with the short circuit? It's got like 4 notes. Crankloon. Gross Materialist, superiority, and fundamentalist certainty. Kinda simplistic and humdrum feedback loop. Looks kooky from the outside. Kinda repetitive. What gives?

i think if you look around there are more child indoctrinated, dis-believing the gospel than visa-versa.....
many have grown up loving spiderman, yet you barely see anyone dawning the red and blue suit?

I believe the same answer applies to this as to all of the questions about suffering and people doing terrible things. Basically, we have free will (Genesis 2:16-17), humans chose to take advantage of that (Romans 5:12). Just as parents give advice and children still have to make their own decisions. In the same way, there are consequences for those decisions (Romans 6:23).
I think a lot of these questions come from a person's perspective. Seeing earth and thinking that that's the end vs seeing earth with an eternal perspective can change things.
There's also the hurdle of getting past the antiquated scientific belief that women had different evolutionary selective pressures resulting in underdeveloped brains (Kelves, Fee, Darwin, Vogt, Van Valen, etc etc etc...)
;) (just being annoying with that last bit, not trying to start something)
Some people say, thank you God, when something good happens.
I wonder if they also say, fuk you God, when something bad happens. I think not.
Not fair, don't you think?
Some do, some don't, probably. I believe we should give thanks in all things (Romans 5:3-4, James 1:2-3, 1 peter 1:6-7, 1st Thessalonians 5:18). I don't think this means that we can't grieve or be sad, but that we have that long term, optimistic perspective.
I believe God knows how we work and gives us all the tools we need to live a rich life. I also think that people try to mimic what people who study the Bible have known, thinking that they are new ideas. We were designed to spend time in prayer (now people meditate) and we were told why we can give thanks in all circumstances (now people use cognitive behavioral therapy to improve their outlook). With Christ and each other I believe we have what we need.
The Love on ST is just so AWESOME. I sincerely love you all! I don't think it's possible to hate someone unless you've lived their life and know exactly how they became who they are. That, and we're supposed to love everyone because that's how people will know you follow Jesus (John 13:34-35)

Good roooot although short, me and Charlie Porter found it.
Keep sh!t simple, anything beyond that here will never work and will over tax the simple brains here.
Although most nothing works here anyways ..... :-)

Do I have to keep posting stuff here or will God let me go to sleep? It's past my bedtime.

I beg to differ...

I heard about this organization years ago at an AA mtg on a military base.
MAAF maintains a roster of Atheists in Foxholes, just in case there are any rumors that we don't exist. The next time you hear someone repeat that old myth, just send them here to see how atheists have served honorably in combat - always have, always will.

Go away culty as#@&%es. Go to your holes and threads of stupidity. Go mingle with other fanciful thinkers on religious sites to find out how stupid you look.
You're being as#@&%es by gumming up the front page with selfish prosthletizing lies.
Christians have made me hate them. Bad people, really.

The cat herding video is awesome. I remember when that aired during a superbowl.

Aw Christians are OK.
I've got leprechauns of my own,
creeping around just out of sight,
tucking me in to bed at night,
helping my brain get some healthy respite.
We all do.

You know, if they passed out a nice cider donut at Communion, instead of that wispy bit of styrofoam..... or at least offered a selection of toppings for the wisp... I'm thinking a dollop of whitefish spread.... the Jewish people figured that one out - donuts AND Whitefish!
As for "Ask a Christian," I have no query. But I really have no respect for people who tout their religious faith(ANY faith) and then go on about their day with only their big mouth to show for it, especially when the mouth contradicts what the rest of them is all about.
I went to Catholic grade school, and several times during my early life(up to 25 years old, actually), had thoughts about sisterhood. It was 9th grade and the nun who tried to hit on me during the private music lessons she was supposed to be giving me, and then stopped even bothering to show up, that I realized I could be just as of service without hitching my wagon to something so fallible as organized religion.
I still respect "faith," but I resent hostility from "the faithful." The only thing that chaps my hide more, in that regard, is some recently discoverer of eastern philosophy using "namaste" instead of see ya later."

Ditto that....
Although the REAL BALLS award will go to the first "Ask a Muslim" thread.
