"Yeah... Sorry. Meant 1,100.
As for the other post, you are only partially right. I had to consult my wife but the word is chi rho which did not carry the same symbol as we see it today. That was Constantine s version of the…"

Is Marriage Reserved for the Religious?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Mads Kapstad Jul 26, 2011. 59 Replies 0 Likes
I am curious how most Atheists view marriage? It is largely seen as a religious act. Should non believers participate in marriage?

Moral Atheist replied to Pahu's discussion 'Science Proves God'"1.) Pahu, I do not know what archaeological evidence you are referring to because I have spent many years studying this topic and I have NEVER seen anyone say that the Hebrew events in Egypt have been confirmed. Common sense says that they…"
Moral Atheist replied to Pahu's discussion 'Science Proves God'"I read through a few of them. All of them are ridiculous. For example, ALL prophecies of Abram cannot be considered prophecies. Archaeological evidence shows us that the 1st books of the Old Testament were written in Israel during the time when King…"

John Dodds replied to Moral Atheist's discussion 'Is Marriage Reserved for the Religious?'"Marriage is not about the relationship between a man and a woman.

Moral Atheist replied to Pahu's discussion 'Science Proves God'"I like how the whole premise is based on getting into heaven. Which never shows up in the bible until somewhere around the middle of it. Apparently worshiping God just because was no longer enough. So someone threw in heaven to sweeten the deal."

Two Christians Walk Into a Bar
Posted on July 7, 2011 at 10:57am 4 Comments 0 Likes
In my case, not a bar but a park. I do a lot of mountain biking and in between laps is a rest area. Yesterday 2 men were sitting there for over 2 hours talking about how they KNEW they were going to heaven. I didn't listen to the whole conversation. Only the bits and pieces I was able to…
How A Christian Lost His Faith

I thought it only appropriate for my first TA blog to be a story of how I lost my faith. Let it be a lesson on how to reason with the unreasonable. First a little background on where I came from.
I was raised in a Christian fundamentalist home. My uncle is a Petroleum Engineer which he thinks…

I am attacked regularly for the supposed oxymoron in the name @Moral_Atheist. The claims are often like the following all from this last weekend.
From: @RonaldusMagnus1
there IS NO logical basis for morals in an evolutionist-atheist viewpoint. Nature takes it's course, no?
From: @clergywomen
