OK, this pinhead at work keeps after me, telling me I need religion in my life.?

Spank him. That should be sufficient to bring back all the religious school nightmares and butt ramming at the hands of priests. He may even say, "Thank you sir, may I have another?" over and over again.\n\nShould be good for a chuckle among your coworkers.

Get a grip dude.  I am real and I am here and will be here until I am not here.  God is in the eye of the beholder so save your sermon for the religion section okay.  Have a blessed day....whatever THAT means.  Peace out!

So, from some of YOUR questions, I assume you're a politician, a cartoon (well, at least your avatar is) a homosexual and a philosopher, right? I mean, you posted in all of those categories...\n\nAnyway, atheists don't believe in god, and atheism is not a religion. But we do believe in religions (i.e.: in the fact that they exist, and are here for a particular purpose which some of us don't like). So, on top of being manipulated by churches, we ALSO have to endure it quietly? I DO NOT THINK SO.\n\nBTW, he IS imaginary.

You may be in the wrong church, mine still preachs about his evil ways. He is as real now as ever. Speak to your pastor about how you feel, we don't sugar coat anything.

IT IS STRAIGHT UP BUTT-F time!  You are but another instance where government has slammed heavy foot down on to another Commons's neck!  You see, it is a bit different with you.  But had you not been discovered to be faulty with your anger management, you may not have other wise posted this question: You'd be uncovered threat lurking in the shadows.  Tight money seems to be your present problem because now, for whatever reason/s, you seek that helpful counseling in order to become sensible and grabbing in that answer you see out lurking out there in the mist of the void, some plausible solution/s such as they might or probably will bring an increase in your self-order and the secondary gains of better reputation immense.  Alas, the church based holy-F'n cure is gonna require you knee-knock a tad and show up with expected tithing fees for buying gas for minister's plane and Lincoln, and the mental-health crew sets their fun card game aside for picking up their Re ports' Pad, the AGENCY/AGENCIES (Require you bring your own Vasiline), the stigma you sense is the results of that two-pound sledge hammer smashing your toe tops.  Correspond with me and I'll hook you up within yourself and we'll make those connections and changes expedient or we'll quit the project.  I'm more than qualified to assist you and seek no money since I have enough of it and time.  If you are for real for getting the tools to help improve yourself via making essential mental changes then we shall conclude within the span of ten lengthily exchanges where only truth will be considered important.  Spell checker does not like performing on these longer mentions, so kindly correct this un-edited spelling.  Have a nice day.

Nope.  At the very least it shows that I am important enough to that person that they are willing to make the effort to remember me in their prayers.  Why would anyone get upset that another person is concerned about them?  It's not like they're trying to convert me to their religion.  They are simply appealing to their beliefs to help me.

They have no hold on you. Just walk away. \n\nNow that you have lost your belief, religion and the church are an irrelevance and a curiosity. They have no legal claim to you. If they do send you stuff just asked to be removed from their lists. You may have friends from church - if they respect you and are open to other ideas they will remain your friends now that you have left. If they don't they clearly weren't worth the effort anyway. \n\nGo out, see the world, experience the world for what it is rather than through the dark glasses that religion forces upon you. It is much more beautiful that way.

why would i want to change anyone's mind? if i were a jehovah's witness, then it would be part of my spiritual job, wouldn't it? you sound like you're venting and maybe you're angry--perhaps you should check it out and see what's bothering you about this forum. Peace

this is starting to look like a blog . . . \n\nvboy who knows what is up with him and who cares . . . I know he asks a lot questions about homosexuals, cheating people, sex positions, how to cheat, how many times you had sex, etc . . . etc. And in the end he says all Muslims, homosexuals, and sinful people should be killed because they are going against gods will . . . \n\nTeaser . . . I don't give a damn if you are bi or not.  This is not the place for that.  If you are truly christian . . . don't the scriptures say to forgive the transgressor . . . for he know not what he is doing.  Ignore him . . . and leave it be.\n\nTZ - if thou is without sin, let him cast the first stone.  If not, back off . . . and get off her back. Do not judge lest ye be judged.\n\n- - - \n\nAs for myself . . . I don't really believe in god anymore . . . but I have studied in the past (while in search of god) . . . I have studied 15 major religions . . . I have also been an ordain minister, a pastor, a rabbi, a priest, an oracle, a vedic, even an akond  - but found everyone of them to be hypocritical . . . saying one thing while performing another . . .\n\nI am not perfect and I am not judging . . . but get off your high horse everyone . . . this is a place where people are supposed to ask questions and receive the best possible answers from their peers . . . this is not a bash site.\n\nHopefully this ends this and you take my advice and end it and live in peace.

Do yourself a favor and wake up.  Religion was invented by men.  You are basing your life on something dreamed up thousands of years ago by ignorant people and passed on from generation to generation as fact.  You're expected to just believe it and without any possible way of getting confirmation until you are already dead.  You want to spend this existence worrying about invisible beings that someone else told you about?  Get a grip!

Do not let these religious fanatics get you down.\nYou're a child of God....nobody gets special rights to this...not even Baptists.\nMove on with your life. Make friends. Love your neighbors. Adopt children. \nWhen it's all said and done, you will have lived a good life and loved many.\nThat's all that matters. The other stuff is just that...stuff born out of fear.\nYou're better than that.

I've never quote thought of it the way you just stated, but I myself have decided to cut out the middle management and talk to the boss himself. Like the middle man in sales, I buy direct and avoid other's profit$, (prophets?) I don't make a point a claiming to have any great revelations for the world, in fact, I make a point not to, as I know most people would have about the same interest in my divine revelations as I have in their's, not to mention being considered a nutjob. Why don't some of the bigmouths today such as Pat Robertson realize how they must look to the world? I don't even take much stock in what the prophets of old of any religion ever had to say about the almighty ultimate power of the universe. Some people might say things about the problem of having every ding-a-ling on the planet running around touting  his own brand of theology, but that doesn't seem like it would be a problem if that's how the master of the universe wanted to disclose himself to the world. To me, it's all about controlling other people with fear and superstition while gaining prestige and nothing more. God's judgement sounds to me like just another way of saying "You just wait until your father gets home." Well, my father has an open-door policy and allows me to communicate with him about whatever is on my mind without having to go through the middle man.  - 'nuf said!

I am not religous but i believe that what goes around , comes around in a strange sort of way. I would really let this man suffer as he has a total disrespect for human life, he is weak & this will show in the coming months.

Go see your local priest, whichever your faith may be. Tell him your concerns and ask his advice. I shall say no more. Good luck in your endeavours.\n\nCheers, L

A religious leader saying I've got dibs on another member to grow my empire; an  organization which does things in the name of God, but not really for God.

i think this person is trying to say that science (physics) and religion (10 commandments) are opposing forces and that while most people order their world around science, this person prefers to use religion...now why they think the 2 can't coexist is beyond me
