Oh you’ll never get to heaven
In an elastic bra
‘Cos an elastic bra
Won’t stretch that far.

Oh you’ll never get to heaven
In a bottle of gin
‘Cos the Lord won’t let
No spirits in

I'm an atheist but since I started yoga I have started to explore spirituality (as opposed to god).

I like some of the teachings of the Buddha. Most organised religions encourage people to look externally for solutions e.g. confess your sins to god to be forgiven. The Buddha believes that you need to look to yourself for happiness and enlightenment. In other words don't put your problems on god its down to you to sort them out. If you want to lead a good life then do good to other people.

A simple philosophy that I can understand. I have never understood why a parent who loses a child is told this is god's will.

Anyway I am not a practicing Buddhist it's just he talks commonsense. As for other religions well whatever floats your boat just respect that there are many paths to god / enlightenment

All the religions quoted are second to money.

It is a material and naturalistic world and man worships what he needs to survive in it.

It has therefore become a threat to mans existence to consider a supernatural miracle which the resurrection is and there is fear and bias against the bible and christian beliefs.

There is a theme running through all the posts against christianity.

That is fear of it.

I don't mind religious people - they tend to be good natured and well meaning on the whole (much like non-religious people, in fact).

Live and let live - you believe what you want, I'll believe what I want.

I take a little bit of issue, though, with people who disparage other beliefs. If you're so secure in your own beliefs, why does someone else seeing things differently bother you so much?

May God, Allah, Vishnu, Buddha, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Fry and/or Ricky Gervais smile upon you all

Top Ten Signs You’re a Fundamentalist Christian

10 – You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 – You feel insulted and “dehumanized” when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 – You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the “atrocities” attributed to Allah, but you don’t even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in “Exodus” and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in “Joshua” including women, children, and trees!

6 – You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 – You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 – You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs — though excluding those in all rival sects – will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most “tolerant” and “loving.”

3 – While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in “tongues” may be all the evidence you need to “prove” Christianity.

2 – You define 0.01% as a “high success rate” when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but still call yourself a Christian.

Sad but true.

I was an atheist from when I was about 11 or 12. It used to annoy my RE teacher that I was top of the class when we did exams. I think everybody else professed some faith but were not interested in reading the bible.

I saw a documentary about the creation of the King James V1 bible (the one we all quote). The language is beautiful and yet the scholars took liberties with the translations. They gave examples of well known verses and how they properly translate. That doesn't take away from the general meaning of the passage or the beauty of the language. However it does make you wonder why some people say this is the exact word of god every full stop every comma.

Totally deluded codswallop.

You have no clue about religion and how the Christian Bible came to be.
You would rather indulge in blind faith which excuses you from actually facing reality.

"The damned of Hell suffer eternal punishment because they experiment with the loss of God.

"In my own soul, I feel the terrible pain of this loss. I feel that God does not want me, that God is not God and that he does not really exist."
"Mother Teresa talking about her faith"

Leo X was the idiot that thought indulgences were a good idea. His stupidity was rewarded with the Protestant Reformation. He had no further to look than Matt. 21 : 12 - 17 to know what Jesus thought of the idea of turning the Church into a commercial enterprise.

Even many Catholics I've spoken to accept that Martin Luther had a point.

If you believe I suppose nowadays JC would storm those "born again" Christian television programs where the answer is not a closer relationship to Jesus, but rather that the pleading for your money at some point during the program.
