are we supposed to take it on FAITH that ALL the rest of your ridiculous claims are absolute truth as well? please read this before you get banned. No, I said there was only ONE absolute truth and that's DEATH, like religions all the rest is just fluff. Of course I'll get banned, anyone who speaks against Christianity here gets banned. actually, Christians won't see death, just rest until Christ returns to judge the wicked.. unfortunately, those professing to be wise only look forward to a cold grave. what a bleak outlook. oh, and you can have a civil discussion about peoples' beliefs without actually ridiculing the believers. just a suggestion. but i suppose you would only value such advice if you actually had anything worth discussing. Christians want to believe that they won't see death and I wish them all the luck in the world with that, however as we all know wanting and believing something does not make it true, (we would all win the lottery if it was true) reality is the killer of religions, wouldn't it be great if we could all live in our own little fantasy worlds. As for a bleak outlook, my grave won't be cold because I will be dead and know nothing about it, I thought I was being civil, you are obviously not used to having your beliefs questioned because of where you live and who you choose to mix with and I can understand that, Christians hate Atheists because Atheists remind them how fragile and feeble their beliefs really are.

Well how else would they see it before it was taken down besides reading it? It was a message to the people who take things down to say that we all know they don't like both sides to be heard. Like churches Christian websites are not there for the Christians they are there to keep Christians believing, anything that might encourage a Christian to think is removed because Christians must remain followers.

There is only one thing we can say for sure is an absolute truth and that is DEATH and that's what ALL religions are about, they ALL claim to have found the only way to cheat death, which is what makes ALL religions laughable and ALL believers gullible. Please read this before they take it down.

In your perception is Buddhism a faith? If so what do they have faith in? What you are doing is a classic religious defence, If you keep asking questions you will never need to answer any. Suffice to say, you do not use faith in any other part of your life, you may think you do but you don't.

I don't understand the question? Please elucidate or at the very least expound? The Topic is 'Proof that God exists', which everyone seems to agree is true, I am asking, 'If there is proof that a God exists why are religions still called FAITHS?' I would also add that, 'if there was proof that a God existed there would be no Atheists'. Define the word Faith in the context you have posted it, to me? As to your latter sentence, it presupposes that everyone believes the proof of everything they are presented with. This is not true. There are many agenda's out there. Please see the added content above. Please define "FAITHS" as you are posting it. Is Christianity a faith? if it is then that's the faith I am talking about.

Christians also don't seem to know what evidence is, they think everyone has their own evidence, evidence is only evidence if it can be seen to be evidence by everyone, feelings do not count as evidence. Religions are called 'faiths' because they are not backed by evidence, faith is required when there is no evidence. We only ever use faith where religion is concerned, we never use faith for anything else, faith is synonymous with religion.

How many people in the US still call themselves Christians? Everyone who is from one of the 27 countries that make up the EU is free to travel anywhere in the EU, they can then get health care where ever they are. What has numbers got to do with it? hundreds or millions is all the same when they are all paying. There are approx. 731,000,000 people in the EU [how many of them are illegal?] which is well over twice the number of people living in the US. Can a non EU citizen get free health care? That is the problem, not everyone IS paying for health care. Im paying for illegal immigrants and others. As I said, how many people in Europe are legal? the EU is very close to a dozen non EU countries, at least in the US people speak some form of English, here we have at least 29 different languages and dialects.

1. The Bible says "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years." Genesis 1:14 Even if prior to this "day" the days were not 24 hour periods...they were 24 hour periods after God created the lights in the firmament. Clearly the division of the day and night by the lights in the firmament should be considered the same time frame as the division takes today. (Unless we find a reason to believe God modified the rotational times of the sun and moon after creation week.) On what day did God create the Sun? If there was already something there to "divide the day from the night and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years" why did God make the sun?

I think it may be time to circle the wagons and bake some apple pie, the US is falling apart, It's not really, the US is just starting to realise that the rest of the world is doing better than they are, a lot of Americans have very little while the top 1% has more than all the rest put together, it's the people in the middle carrying the country.

If there is proof that a God exists why are religions still called FAITHS?

1/ You don't know very much do you? Google and see just how much Muslims invented and formulated. 2/ You wish. 3/ How would we know? How would we be able to tell?

Yea...I respect your understanding of this but a day in Genesis is obviously a 24 hour period. That's how we define a days, weeks, months, and years. If the Bible's definition of a day is an indefinite period of time in Genesis, then it is an indefinite period of time other places. This would make it difficult to determine bible prophecy when it relies on a timeline. Take the Bible for what it says...and don't let evolution shape your principles. But God did not create the sun until day 4 so a day did not exist until the fourth day so what has 24 hours got to do with it? we define days, weeks, months, and years by earths movements around the sun, the first three days could have lasted for who knows how long. "Take the Bible for what it says...and don't let evolution shape your principles"??? what has evolution got to do with the length of a day?

Then what seems to be the problem? everyone contributes and everyone collects when they are sick, it will be much cheaper in the long run and more people will benefit than do now, I think the number of people who are not insured in the US at the moment is over 40 million people. Private insurance will still be there for those who can afford it, the rich will still be able to get preferential treatment, Europeans can't understand why the American poor are so concerned that the American rich do not suffer, the rich have always been able to look after themselves. in every country. I realize that 80% is the number who say they are Christians but the true number of Christians is a lot less than that, people say they are because they want to either keep their jobs or do not want to make waves, the more people who 'come out' the better it will be for everyone.
