    Thread: Do you believe in good and evil?
Post: RE: Do you believe in good and evil?
The Hebrews were practically saintly compared to the people who lived around them, who engaged in human sacrifices, wild sex orgies, rampant homosexuality and pedophilia, and all the other evils that ...

I've been reading the forums for a few days and I've come to appreciate that it is a very difficult thing for an atheist to "come out" to his or her Christian family? Do you believe this "coming out"...

    Thread: What shall we do about theists?
Post: RE: What shall we do about theists?
This kind of thread is why Christians fear and distrust atheists. It's not funny to talk about rounding people up and putting them in death camps. Atheists have a bad history of actually doing this.
