This is why im athiest:

1)How did adam and eve make so many different races?

2) I dont know when the bible was started and shit, but about 700 years ago, people thought the heart was the center of intelect, and that the earth was flat, what the fuck?

How can the bible not be a giant fucking fairytale?

All we are is the most civilized lifeform on this planet. THATS IT!!!! How is killing another human being considered a sin to put you in fiery hell with a pitchfork but we eat a lot of cows all the time and kill shit? Cows got fucking lives too y'know, all you biblethumpin' mofo's. But burgers ARE the shit!!! Some mayo, tomato, and some Jack Daniels Brand hickory mustard. Oh Shit....on a sesame seed bun. DAMN....I just nutted.

Adam and Eve is a metaphor, but I'll humor you.

Their children spawned and spawned more and more generations, who eventually decided to move to far away lands. As time marched on, the children of these children started to adapt to their new environments, either being born with darker skin, lighter skin, more body hair, less body hair, what have you.

Soon, you had the children of the children of the children, who didn't look a damn thing like the other children of the children of the children.

That is how.

You're right. Knowledge grows and changes with time.

What makes you so sure that you're right?

Two hundred years from now, people may laugh at your beliefs and call them foolish.

How can it be one?

Yes, THAT'S IT. That's everything.

We are incredibly different that all other species on this planet. Why us? Why humans? We're not the strongest physically. We're not the fittest that survived(in most cases). What makes us so special?

Our minds, our intellect. What gave us that? What caused us to jump to this level of intelligence, so far ahead of all other species?

Becuase cows aren't humans.

Good fucking lord. Pathetic.

Why do I bother? I agree with Spiritof22 for once. We should just ignore these idiots.

Op3nYD3, I think you need to read the topic entitled "The mistake all atheists make, except me". I think you are just a little confused. Just because you can find flaws in the Christian bible doesn't mean that there is no god. I believe you should think before you post anything else. It's people like you that give newbs like me a bad name.

Answering these questions will only encourage similarly mindless threads.

Don't base your belief in the existence of God on Christianity.

Christians didn't create God, they just interpretted it in their own way. It doesn't mean they're automatically right, though many of them think they are. If you are convinced that the Christian interpretation of God is the only evidence or knowledge we have of God, you are being very close-minded.

Open your mind and research all the theories, science and religion you can, and I'm sure you'll find out what God really is.

*edit*

I don't mean to come off and say that you shouldn't believe what you believe, because it is up to you, and I've learned to respect people for what they believe in. I just don't like the fact that people accept the christian interpretation of God as the only interpretation of God. I have agnostic friends, atheist friends, christian friends, and catholic friends. I have friends of all sorts, in my opinion, whether you are atheist or christian, one thing is for certain: We all need to just try to get along regardless of religious belief.

I hope that was helpful

Holy shit, a guy whose nickname is FUCK just made a good point. What the fuck is going on here.

we may be in the lead in intelligence , but one could argue that this happened because of surival of the fittest, our brain giving us an agvantage. we became able to throw stones at our predators, instead of just running away from them. we have adapted tgive us an edge over other animals.

i hope this makes some sense, sorry if it dosent

yeah, but that still doesnt answer why we are so far ahead in intelligence.

Spirit of '22's automated response has a point.

Yeah it does, but I'd just like to make a point. What makes us so different from other animals? Nothing, except we think we are. Based on the belief Cogito Ergo Sum, who the fuck (from the animal kingdom) is going to argue with us. (Who has the means to anyway?)If gorillas dominated this planet and had the philosophy "I Beat The Shit Out Of People Ergo Sum", then we couldn't argue with them, based upon that belief. You might want to ignore that bit about the gorillas.

The fact that we are able to think we are different makes us different.
