Great news! Nicholas Cage has been famed for many of his great skills in the past, now he can be thanked for giving us the opportunity to be saved and not be "left behind" in his new thriller.

Lets let Duck Dynasty star tell us about this wonderful opportunity to bring your heathen friends and save them.

Man those Left Behind books were freaky, not great literature but if you already believed in the rapture and end times, they were powerful. Like a combination of masochism (WHY AREN'T YOU A BETTER CHRISTIAN?!?!) and superiority complex porn (HAHA I won't say I told you so but I TOLD YOU I WAS RIGHT AND YOU WERE WRONG!).

My only problem with atheists is that they base all their arguments on the interpretations of god/creationisim on abrahamic religions; there are a few other religions out there with completely different beliefs.

I'm an atheist, and I don't base any arguments (let alone all) on just the abrahamic religion.

I'll be as clear as I can:

All religion is bogus. I believe in the Abrahamic god of Judaism, Christianity and Islam the same as I believe in Thor, Zeus and Aphrodite. I believe in the monkey god of Hinduism as much as I believe in the all powerful Xenu of Scientology bullcrap. All have roughly the exact same amount of evidence - that is: zero. To be even more clear: I also don't believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, leprechauns, witches, devils, demons, pixies, magical unicorns that fart rainbows, or vampires that twinkle in the sunlight and fall in love with moody high school girls.

I think the difference in the west is that there are a lot more Christians around, and thus Christianity is pushed in our faces more (certainly in the US, and even moreso in the Southern US). It's hard not to make fun of Fox News, but they aren't usually discussing Scientology or Hinduism. They do occasionally discuss Santa though, so I will mock them for that too...

The bible, qur'an, or whatever other holy books exist are as believable as a Spiderman or Bazooka Joe comic are. Atleast with comic books, there's fun pictures of the science fiction taking place.

He is very active in his youtube comments debating people, in some situations you just have to say they are not very bright, and debating someone this unintelligent you just waste your time and effort even acknowledging them.

Over the past few months something has really changed with my mom. She has always been a religious person and i live in a fairly religious family but now she has become way more religious than i have ever seen her. In my 20 years of life i've never seen her act or talk the way she has over the last few months. Going on about witchcraft, demons in our house and the fact that me not believing in god apparently means that i believe in the devil.

Last Sunday i went to church for the first time in years. It was an African church so things ran quite differently than the other christian church i went to as a kid, and i have to say that it was one of the most eye opening things i've ever seen in my life. Seeing a room full of people act like they're having a seizure while yelling out "god, god, god" over and over again made me realize that i honestly have no need for church or religion.

Before i was on the fence about religion but after that and some of the stuff i heard my mom say it made me truly believe that i have no need for god. I still haven't told my mom and she told me that if i don't go to church with her than she would put me out of the house. How do i tell my mom about my views on religion without her kicking me out?

I'm very sorry to hear you're in that situation, Hockey_Ninja. If you don't mind me asking, where do you live and how old are you?

I'm 20 and i live in the SW. I'm studying at SAIT and my mom teaches there in a different field. I love my mom with all my heart, she's a great person and i don't know what i'd do with myself if something bad happened to her. But when it comes to religion, please keep me out of it and let me live my life the way i want too.

NO!

How about there is ZERO evidence of any creator let alone a religious one!

"GOD" is imaginary, science and common sense proves this.

You could continue to go to church to appease your mom while you are still in school. Once you have graduated and got a job to support yourself you can then tell her your feelings about God and religion.

Be honest with her, she'll understand your point of view. my mother was the same way.

Comeon man, At 20 only an idiot would go to church to appease his mother.

How about if she kicks him out of the house, which she has threatened to do. With him being a student, he doesn't have the options you believe. Things aren't quite as black and white in this world as you think they are.

My reading skills are quite fine, thank you very much!

If he can't afford to live on his own while going to SAIT what should he do other than call her bluff?
