S. Graham replied to Lisa Lark's discussion 'Seven Proofs for the Natural Immortality of the Human Soul'"There is no religion that is successful. They all fail in some manner. Why is this? Because ALL religion has been created by some man who thought he had a good idea.

S. Graham replied to Lisa Lark's discussion 'Seven Proofs for the Natural Immortality of the Human Soul'"Anyone who defines their faith, if they are Xian, by the words of Paul, or more correctly by HOW the translators have defined the words of Paul, is going to fail in epic proportions in their so called "faith".

Stutz replied to Lisa Lark's discussion 'Seven Proofs for the Natural Immortality of the Human Soul'"I think we condemn him on his own terms. He claims to be the human incarnation of an infinite, omnipotent, omniscient God. Such a being would not make mistakes. Besides, I don't think we condemn his entire oeuvre of teachings as worthless, but…"
Gallup's Mirror replied to Lisa Lark's discussion 'Seven Proofs for the Natural Immortality of the Human Soul'"Likewise, the presumption is that exposure to green kryptonite-- the remnants of the planet Krypton-- will eventually kill Superman. These effects have been well documented in Action Comics and in other Superman comics since the 1930s."
Michael replied to Lisa Lark's discussion 'Seven Proofs for the Natural Immortality of the Human Soul'"The presumption here is that the breath or spirit of life is indestructable and eternal and can quicken the dust of the ground or anything into living creatures.

Fear:
People fear death, people fear opposing their friends and family, and people fear being alone and having to fend for themselves in such a big, bad world. Religion exists because in a time with very little explanation for why things were the way they were, people began making up stories to try to explain it all.

Continue My Journey to Atheism, and a view into a 'good' church experience

I am a 21-year-old college student, and I have been atheist for about 4-5 years now. I was raised christian, going to a presbyterian church from the time I was born until now (my mom often makes me go when I'm home for breaks...especially around christmas). Church was a big part of my life every week, and my mom was even one of the sunday school teachers. Many people become atheist because they had a bad experience with an overbearing, boring, or just plain rediculous church. I, however,…
