Respectful ways to explain my non-belief to Christians I am down voting this because "Atheism, when actively practiced, is as much a religion as Evangelical Christianity." contains so many and grave misunderstandings about atheism that I doubt your ability to make sense in the rest of the answer. |

Is it possible for an atheist to be moral? Having this question at +6 though, doesn't really send as a good message as the OP would like. |

What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Meh, I think you are still not addressing the concern. If insulting the foot of God was particularly bad, asking why that part in particular is not sufficiently answered by saying the foot is God. That's not my point! I know who/what the HS is. However one can be blasphemous against either part of the trinity. Why is is the HS special? |

What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? s/can't/doesn't want to/ in the last sentence. If God wants to change someone's mind it's certainly in His power. Besides that, I am curious as to why the Holy Spirit is different from Christ or God in this respect. |

Why is rape condoned in the Bible? The link you provided does not address any of the passages in the question. This is NOT a valid answer to the question. |

What evidence exists for post-Biblical miracles? -1 because it did not for 7 billion people. Either it did or it didn't. It didn't. |

What evidence exists for post-Biblical miracles? @Flimzy that would not cut it here (as you need to distinguish natural phenomena from miracles). E.g. 1000 people seeing a lightning and thinking it's a miracle does not make it a miracle. |

What evidence exists for post-Biblical miracles? Cancer has well known remission rates. Witnessing a cancer remission and thinking it's a miracle only means you are not familiar with modern medicine... |

What is transubstantiation? So in practice "it's actually the Body, but 'masquerades' as bread"? |

Are people possessed by demons today? What is the modern Christian perspective? Can you point out credible examples of possession? |

What is the verdict on an unjust judge? I think the point of the question is that according to the OP there are crimes that are much harder to repay than that, if not impossible. You should address those cases, instead of the "smallest infractions". |

Who created God? Thanks for the edit, the quality is much better. I still think the logic is shaky: the moment you say "God is not an effect", you already postulated the answer. I think the correct logic flow should be that if God has no cause, then He is not an effect, and not vice versa :) |

Would the story of Jesus hold more significance if he were a man like us? @mas so shouldn't it be more appropriate to refer to Him as Demigod? It would be the technically correct term! |

Would the story of Jesus hold more significance if he were a man like us? You lost me in the second paragraph. First you say He's a man, just like us. Then you say He's also God. Assuming that you did not mean we are God, then this is a contradiction. He can't be God, like us, while we are not God. Do you mean that He was a man with extra powers? And, if the power is to forgive sins, aren't priests forgiving them as well in Confession? I am puzzled. |
