Two questions:
1.) Do you find that a Christian band can sometimes be better, because they have inspiration and (to them) a good reason to sing/make music? Like how I think Rise Against (Atheist) is a better band than others because you can hear their passions (vegan, treating others the same...

...children? It must be revealed by God? It's impossible to fulfill every law in Judaism for your entire life. No one could do that. Yet people say that all religions are man made. But really, who would make up a religion saying if you don't follow it you'll be stoned and impose that on his...

When do you think we will have an atheist president?
Isn't the bologne that is organized religion just a tool to make life seem more livable because women have no brains and are only good for sex? Doesn't it create the illusion that women are divine and have some meaning or purpose in their lives beyond reproduction? Isn't that what all hero...
