Does God exist in an atheists mind?

By dchaitanya, published on Apr 8, 2012

The present day society is based more and more on scientific temperments and believes in only the things that are visible to eyes and the rest of the things are largely myth. Among them the dispute of existence or non-existence of the God is one that still is a conandrum to answer to learned people around the world. I do believe that God exists more substantially in atheists’ mind than the persons who believes in God, because, an atheist always strongly opposes in existence of 'God'. When you question an Atheist ‘does God exists’, he says 'God' does not exist at all. If you again question him,... (more)

God is a Morally Reprehensible Parent

By TheTAZZone, published on May 27, 2011

We might as well cut to the chase right off the bat and say that there is no evidence whatsoever that any form of personal interactive god exists. A personal interactive god being any god that directly communicates or interfere's in the life of man. This is abundantly clear, not only in the fact there is no evidence to support the concept of this type of god, but also common sense dictates that this type of god does not exist.

A simple question is enough verification of this. That question being, if you are a parent, and love your children, and had the foresight, and the ability, to... (more)

Female Infanticide: A Decimating Horror in the Land of God

By Barkha Dhar, published on Jun 27, 2011

...is incomplete. She is revered in faith, invoked with prayers and fasting, and implored for blessings and forgiveness. But if this is the devoutness for ‘Devi,’ the feminine figure of adherence, then why does so much abhorrence still exist for infant girls in India? Why is that ‘she,’ the goddess is adorned in every Hindu temple, but ‘she,’ the female infant is slaughtered through violent means? Can devotion for god contradict with the principles of life? Or has religion become a gimmick of greater good?

Sadly, discussion on female infanticide and feticide has remained a... (more)

By Betty B., published on Dec 16, 2011

Mark 11:22-26

(NIV)

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

God Bless America

By JJFCPA, published on May 3, 2010

This Thursday, May 6 is the National Day of Prayer. It is a reminder that we as a country have much to be thankful for. Past Presidents, most notably Ronald Reagan, spoke of the need to remember and pray that God Bless America. His radio address to the Nation in 1982 on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year illustrated the impact that a President can have in reaffirming the original guiding principles of the founders of our nation.

The power of Reagan’s words are still strong and relevant today. He said that day –

Rosh Hashanah… reminds us of the rich and varied religious heritage... (more)
