		<description>God wouldn&#039;t really mean anything to someone unless that person would really know who God is. because a lot of people out there say different things about God which wouldn&#039;t really make sense, and will really drive you to atheism..</description>

		<description>who agrees with non-Christian persecution? I don&#039;t..and please don&#039;t think that every Christian in the world agrees with the persecution,too.. it&#039;s a big world, and a lot of Christians disagree to it..and i think those &#039;Christians&#039; who support persecution aren&#039;t really Christians at all

to those Christians there who do support, i mean, Christ died for all the sinners, right? doesn&#039;t everyone deserves to have a chance, at least, before being persecuted?</description>

		<description>a lot of people don&#039;t really care if there&#039;s a god though, because most probably, they do not really know what&#039;s in store for them-- paradise and hell.. and &quot;hell is a very real place&quot;

and a lot of people probably chooses not to accept that there&#039;s a god, and that you&#039;ve got to have morals, because it interferes with their freedom to do whatever they want, i.e., their sexual freedom..</description>

		<description>also, about the propose big bang theory, was it really just a coincidence that the earth was this far from the sun? cause if it were just a little bit further, then it would have been too cold..and a little closer and it would have been too hot.. i think it would have taken a lot more believing that we were just a result of billions of years&#039; explosion than believing that there is a Supreme Being who designed it all..</description>

		<description>if people cannot find the proof of God existing, then i think they&#039;re looking at the wrong place. but the, its pretty hard not look at the right place..then again, maybe yes..

but when you look at  the trees, or the sky, it just looks so beautiful, and coordinated,too, that it&#039;s pretty hard to believe that there wasn&#039;t Someone who created them.

when i read about articles concerning the human anatomy, the human body&#039;s nature is just way too complex to think that it just connected because it so happened..and that from nothing, the dust and a lot of other matters appeared, formed, and had life..</description>

		<description>i read someone who said that an atheistic nation has less serious crime..but then, i think its because its like a situation where it will seem to a person that a person does not transgress(or commit a crime), cause there&#039;s no law existing in them

christian morality and religious morality are, i think, different because there are religions that are christian in the name but really isn&#039;t

there are those who say they&#039;re Christians but then if you look closely, they&#039;re really not..this is probably why a lot of people are discouraged to believing in God.. they probably weren&#039;t able to see those true Christians out there..</description>

		<description>pagans who worship imaginary gods, are in my opinion, no better than any atheist..
and Christianity and religion are two very different things, by the way..
I&#039;ve also read some comments that denounced religion and Christianity, and well, if these two are gone, there wont be a basis for any moral in the world, now..
if there is no god, then everything is just a coincidence, and life do not have any meaning, which leaves us to &#039;can just kill anyone&#039; because the the existence of life is meaningless without a creator.
but then, further scientific investigations reveal the &#039;glitches&#039; in Darwin&#039;s theory of evolution..i just want to say it here that science can also contribute to saying that there is a god</description>

		<description>Funny.  I know many conservative Christians, and few if any of them seem to care one way or another about HP, much less the lives of those who play in the movies.  In fact, I know some who are HP fans.  Oh, there are a few - in comparison to the global population of some 2 billion - who have denounced the books.  But then, there are some atheists who go radical and denounce and call for the eradication of religion. So what are you going to do.  It doesn&#039;t shock me that a young, wealthy English kid thrust into the British high culture is an atheist.  That&#039;s about common.  What would have shocked me is if he said he was religious.  In that environment, that would be the rebel.  But conformity beckons to all.  And it doesn&#039;t shock me a bit.  He seems low key about it, though he can&#039;t seem to resist the swipes at religion - which never fails to puzzle me.  Atheists will often take swipes at religion, and then point fingers at religious people when they react as if that shows something flawed about their religion (but mention atheists and their lack of basis for objective morality, and you get a similar ear full).  Oh well, it shows that atheists really aren&#039;t any different than anyone else I guess.</description>

		<description>I just love how movies like Harry Potter and L.O.T.R. are getting modern kids to consider the possibility of alternate religions such as Wicca and Asatru.  And, just when you think it couldn&#039;t be any better, Radcliffe comes out as an Atheist!  Yipeeeee!  I got the news a little late, but any kiddies who Google him frequently will eternally get the news.  Then, all the rumors that he&#039;s gay (don&#039;t think so) promote acceptance of gay people.  And, as if it couldn&#039;t get any better,  I read some stuff about THAT PLAY.  Hee hee hee!  Hilarious!  The more I read or find on the net, the harder I laugh.  I just LOVE the fact that the little man waited until H.P. was almost at an end and he had a huge fan base and then he went all subversive.  I almost wet em laughing when I think about how funny that is.  I mean, dang, that&#039;s funny.  That&#039;s Gilbert gotfried at a Friars Club Roast funny.</description>
