how is he promoting Atheism? and even if so.. Who cares? and whats wrong with Atheism? express your opinions to me.

Gay should have the right to Mar, however they shouldn't use the term married, in fact only people who were married through the church should use that terminology. The church came u p with the term of marriage and if a vast majority says it goes against their religion then they should be allowed to marry through the church, I myself Am agnostic, but I believe all religions should be respected in some way, and if the church says no to gay marriage then I'm sorry but you cannot be wed that way.

When they abort the "child" it isn't a child yet. The cell still doesn't know they it's supposed to grow I to a human.

Now tell me how many were given up at birth, and how many who where born before 1973. also, i noticed there are musical artists and actor? actresses, if your going to make a list of people who did important things in there life, dont put celeberties who dont do anything.

by the time it is ok to abort a child, it is not yet a human. Infact the cell doesnt quite know what it is yet. Also, with abortion there are many more benifets then if you are forced to have a child. people always say atleast have the baby then put it up for adoption, that is more harmful then hulpful. i say that because in orphanages whenever a child isnt adopted they then see them selfs as unwanted, or not good enough, which will ruin them phycologicaly. even if they are adopted, they still think they werent wanted, this is because their parents didnt want them. But i digress, the benifets of having a child aborted helps aid stem-cell research. this could help people walk again, recive organ transplants, recive skin graphs, ect. So, if your loved ones needed a heart youd rather wait for the perfect match after waiting for years to reach the top of the list, or would you rather not wait to get to the top of the list, and still recive a heart that fits perfectly?

If you already have bias towards one side with no hope of changing sides... then why would you make a debate on the subject?

I do not have a closed mind in any way. I see how I may have come across that way but i am not I try to believe and see peoples views in their religion. However, these stories to me make no sense to me. For example, people today, if they inbreed (which Adam and Eve had to do) children tend to be born with genetic defects such as down-syndrome and others, explain to me why that is a parent today but not then? Also Isn't it a sin to have intercourse with a family member? Another thing, when the first thoughts of evolution not much was known but today we have scientific evidence connecting us with animals that are nothing like us today! So, The tale of Adam and Eve was created to help people understand how we came to be (due to the fact we didn't know at the time) but has now been turned into a lesson. I didn't even come to that conclusion, to me it was just a story, but to all my Christan friends its a lesson that i didn't care enough to figure out lol. Nevertheless, people no longer believe in these stories they are now just life lesson stories to keep faith in what you believe which in my opinion, in most cases, is a positive thing, But these stories are not something of fact but life lesson, so if you expand you mind a little more you might see that. (btw that last sentence wasn't meant to be taken as an insult but opinion.)

As long as you teach them all religions then even atheism and theism and let them choose for themselfs then it is not brainwashing

Dude.. Just because you don't believe in it doesn't make you a better person, you keep talking as if your superior. Your not. I'm on your side of the argument but take it down a notch bro. Your being straight disrespectful and making this wole side of the argument look foolish. Btw that goes for all the posts I've seen by you.

I guess you could say that but I'm quite sure his "imagination" had that the whole bible doesn't have. Facts.

I'm quite sure scientists have already disproved Adam and eve. Found that Noah's arch told the story of the black sea over flowing and I'm pretty sure that if you were in a fishes stomach then the stomach acid would deteriorate your body.

Not all atheists follow that guide line although that tends to be true some (like myself) are good people although we don't believe in the biblical stories. Truthfully if you think about it, the theory of god doesn't make too much sense, where did he come from? Oh ya the imagination of a man named Abraham.

You cannot debate on which is better due to the fact the capitalism is an economical system and democracy is governmental system. People these days -__-

I'm not going to lie, fencing is difficult it takes quick thinking followed with quick reactions, there are strategies and takes solid concentration. However wrestling is more difficult. It's not having someone's ass in your face it. Is nothing but hard work sacrifice and strategy. I'm not going to lie it does look gay for a distance however if you took time to learn the sport you would see how difficult it really is. Furthermore those two sports can not be compared. They are different one is stratige from distance and the other is stratige close, one takes strength and the other takes finess, one takes a lot of sacrifices, the other (I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say) minor sacrifices. However if we have to compare apples to oranges then wrestling takes much more out of you and let me say, you can fence year round, but you have to take a break from wrestling or else your body will cave in on itself, that alone should tell you people on the other side that wrestling is much more demanding and just plain difficult.

God does not excist, if there was a god he/ she/it would have made it's self apparent much sooner, also why would it let there be so much suffering in the world unless if there is a god he is not a positive thing in any retrospect, however science can disprove just about any existence of god and this is the reason atheism is growing.

Personally I get annoyed by the statement, I mean you can call yourself anything but if you were born in America you are American, especially if you have been here for generations. I couldnt care less if your parents grandparents (ect.) came from Africa, Europe, Asia, or Australia, if you were born in america you are American, it doesn't matter if your skin is darker then mine thats what you are. I don't mean to say give up your heritage but don't expect any special name just because of where your grandparents came from.

I'm not gay but I believe they should be aloud to marry however if it is not in the religion for gays to we'd then they should respect that. Personally I have no preference of religion but I believe all religions should be respected in their own right, plenty of people are not wed through the church, a mosque, temple ect. But overall I believe gays should be allowed to be wed. However this is about if it's a civil right, I don't believe any marriage is a civil right, if you truly love someone you don't need a ring and a certificate to say so.

Correction, veauge story's kind of match your "prophecies." and also I just want to throw this in, if god existed why would he take the lives of young children, how could they have possibly done something to deserve that while murderers are still walking doing whatever they want. To me that is very backwards, if god is real he is definitely not a positive thing.

There is no proof god exists but science is solid and so in turn means that if there is no god then science reins supreme.
