Dude i beleive in God,and you are even confusing me. Are you equating Evil deeds with non religious people? If so you are off because you do not have to be non religious to commit a crime or murder. HUMANS in general are capable of both good and evil no matter race,religion,creed,backround as well.

ok obviously you dont even know what i was talking about. I wasnt even preaching about my religion i was just saying that nobody knows for sure of the origins of the universe so the only thing anyone can do is have a belief, christians believe in God who created the universe and humans and athiests believe that there isnt a god and usually believe evolution. I was just saying that neither creation nor evolution has been disproven or proven so why are christians and athiests wasting their time telling each other that their ways of thinking are wrong? Neither one even knows for sure.
You are absolutely right. We don't know, but somehow both said parties pretend to know. Beats me
What?
Atheists simply do not believe in a God.
No one said anything absolute lol...
Agnostic is in the middle, with no opinion either way.
Seems to me the only group that pretends to know, are theists!edit on 3-25-12 by paradox because: (no reason given)

General question. I'm still confused about a fundamental thing:
Why have Atheists adopted the greek term "atheos", which simply means "without God", but are now screaming bloody murder when we call them that?
And the dead horse moves again ... lol.

Re the paranormal. Do you believe that only matter (atoms, molecules, etc.) interacts with what we perceive to be "reality"?

it is monotheism's word to describe the opposite of life which is ignorance and darkness.

not really.. it is like a euphemism or a condensing of language to make it more proficient...
in a way modern english is very good at this, also many other languages which in a way could be called "slang"
yeah that's it, it's Christian slang must be?
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Honestly, the more I read about Atheism the more confused I get. And I really don't mean that in a condescending way. It seems to me that the term has so many different meanings that there is not even a consensus among Atheists themselves.
