Matthew 12:31 "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."

Yes, my father is a pastor. He is non-denominational.

Just because someone plays a video game, doesn't mean it is their intention to do the actual things in it, though. And, to my knowledge, never is it said that God will actually count it as a sin for having temptation (other than lust), only if you actually give in to it. "Lie" is a bit of a...

My opinion on Christians and secular entertainment, is that it's totally okay for a Christian to enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with one playing a video game like GTA. You aren't actually carrying out the sins in them. It's all fake. You just have to be careful to not actually indulge to them...

Of course, not. Religion is obviously much more complicated than that. It's just something I like to use when someone seems a little confused on what atheism is and how believing something doesn't exist is a completely different thing from not believing something exists.

I don't know. But just because I don't know the origins of the entire universe, doesn't mean a divine creator had to have made all of it. I totally understand your point, though.

I've heard/seen plenty of "miracles". But I don't believe God has done any of them. I've seen plenty of people get better after being prayed for, just as I have seen many people get worse or die after being prayed for. And just because we don't know how else someone could have gotten better...

Thanks for the advice. I really like your opinion on religion. I don't really think I'm a seeker, though. To be honest, I don't want to be a part of any religion. I'm actually hoping no one can prove to me that any god is real. I like the freedom and not believing there's someone always...

My family is Christian. Sorry, should've specified. I'm not convinced that there is no God. I'm just not convinced there is a God. Think of a gumball machine. To me religions are like that. All these different people are claiming there is a different amount of gumballs in the machine. But they...

This sounds a lot like me soon before I lost my faith. I know a lot of people on this forum will probably be upset by what I have to say, but I'd recommend seeing both sides of religion. Watch debates between atheists and theists. See what atheists and Christians have to say. Don't just watch...

Just to clarify, I'm not gay or bi. So I've been an atheist for at least 8 months now. Both my parents, and my sister are religious, but none of them know. I'm not looking to convert my family or anything. I don't really care what they believe, but I'm sick of pretending to be something I'm...

Thanks. I don't really have any questions I'd like to ask at the moment, but I'll keep you in mind if I have any that really bother me.

Hey, guys. I'm an atheist but I'd like to join this community if you don't mind. I'll be as respectful as I can towards all of your beliefs. I have no qualms with you guys believing in something I don't. I understand some of you might have had some rough experiences with atheists. We're not all...
