“Agnostic atheist” is just the quickest means I have of describing my view of any gods. I do not believe there are any gods, but I cannot say I have all the knowledge necessary to positively state that gods do not exist.

Just being realistic. They are asking for something they have no possibility of getting.

Hehe, 3 pages of responses but sadly no one stopped to figure out that this is software that is no longer supported. I doubt you even find any mods to change the functionality.

Quote (kejonn @ Aug. 21 2010,20:55) http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/001-adultery_punishment.htm Did you not see in clear writing in the link you yourself provided: The Qur'an: Stoning is not prescribed.  (See Additional Notes). Additional notes would be rendered meaningless since it is The Quran which is to be followed in Islam. Many Arab countries who say they are practicing sharia law are not practicing Quranic Law. Sharia does not translate into Quranic. As I have said it is Sharia Law in Judaism so If it occurs in Islam anyone who is a Christian and accepts the teachings of the Torah as coming from God cannot speak against it as something “wrong”

Judaism has the Talmud.
Christianity has extra works that define “Trinity” and “rapture” among many other things.
Zoroastrianism didn't stop with the Gathas, but added more with the Avesta.

You might think you are being “pure” by exclaiming the Quran does not prescribe death by stoning, but Islam has grown beyond just the Quran, just as the above religions have gone beyond their original texts.

Deal with it.

A Christian, a Jew, and an atheist are standing in line to be executed during the French Revolution.

The Christian is first, and he lays down on the guillotine. Before the executioner pulls the lever he shouts, “My god will save me!”. The lever is pulled, and the blade swooshes down, stopping just short of his neck. The executioner, believing a miracle has occurred, figures he can't kill this man, as so sets him free.

The Jew lays down on the guillotine. Like the christian, he shouts, “My god will save me!”. The lever is pulled, the blade falls, and once again it stops just short of his neck. The executioner, again, believes God is on this man's side, and lets him go.

Finally, the atheist lays down on the guillotine. He examines the guillotine, finds a rock in the gears, and says to the executioner, “Well here's your problem…”

The moral? There's a time and a place for skepticism.

One day a Catholic Priest was walking down the street and saw a little girl on her front porch with a box of newborn kittens.
The little girl greeted him, “Hello Father; these are Catholic kittens.”
The Priest replied, “That's nice. Bless you child.”
A week later the Priest saw the little girl again with the box of kittens and asked, “How are the little Catholic kittens doing?”
The little girl solemnly informed him, “They are not Catholic kittens anymore, they are Atheist kittens now.”
The Priest was shocked, “What happened?!”
The little girl grinned, “Their eyes opened.”

How many atheists does it take to change a light bulb?

Two. One to actually change the bulb, and the other to videotape the job so fundamentalists won't claim that god did it.

A Jew, A Catholic, and an atheist are rowing in Lake Erie when their boat springs a huge leak. The Jew looks skyward, and says “Oh, Adonai, if you save me, I promise I’ll sail to Israel and spend the rest of my days trying to reclaim the land you gave us.” The Catholic looks skyward, and says, “Oh, Jesus, if you save me, I promise I’ll fly to the Vatican and spend the rest of my days singing your praises.” The atheist says, “Oh, guys, if you pass me that one life preserver, I promise I’ll swim to Cleveland.” “And how will you spend the rest of your days?” the Jew and the Catholic ask. “Well,” says the atheist, “I’m not sure, but I can tell you one thing: I’ll never go rowing with other atheists.”

I can't verify nonsense.

Hi Everyone, Here is a Good video…

Good for what, a laugh?

Seriously Ed, Ron Wyatt was a shyster. Even other Christians thought so, and he was a laughing stock among professional archaeologists.

Combine this with your “bible code” and its really hard to view your posts with any seriousness.

I used to debate mythology too!

17,000 atheists in the Middle East rioted this week after a blank sheet of paper was found on a cartoonist's desk.

The 17000 were later beheaded for outing themselves as atheists.

Turn to god, or turn to another's description of said god? Because without other believers and their holy books, there would be no god to turn to.

Quote (kejonn @ Aug. 11 2010,00:25) Where do get that Joseph of Arimathea was Jesus' uncle? Hi Kejonn, A body cannot remain on a tree all night… Deut.21:23: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

This has nothing to do with the relationship of Joseph of A. to Jesus…

Quote

Legally the body is to be redeem by the next of kin… Lev.25:49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him…

This is the concept of “kinsman redeemer” and has to do with someone who has sold himself into slavery, not about dead bodies.

Quote

Mark 15:43-47 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses(Jesus brother) beheld where he was laid. (Click here for more) God bless Ed J

As that site says, it is all speculation, not biblical “fact”.

But thanks for clarification.

I have to chuckle — but also likewise be at least slightly disgusted — at the way in which I have seen people of the Abrahamic religions justify various parts of their holy books in modern times. They should just realize that their books really aren't that holy and see them for what they are: religious propaganda of a bygone era. But we know that won't be happening any time soon.

I would imagine real scientists are those who carry out experimentation in an effort to validate/invalidate certain claims. Others simply speculate about science.

Its a little more difficult, IMHO, to reduce quotes with this forum software. Almost all other software has quote brackets around the original when you click on “quote”. Here you have the quote in the lower text box and must clock on “preview” to get it all moved to one text box first. But even to do that you need to have at least a few letters in the top text box first.

[kejonn]

It still posted though
