Is possible to use birthing pod to sacrifice a creature after the destruction of worldslayer has been put on the stack or is the creature that comes from the sacrifice get killed as well? I know regenerate works as putting a "shield" on a creature, so does sacrifice work the same way?

My teacher said that knowing the universe and space exploration is not really applicable to ordinary lives. I stated that, yes, at first it might not seem that way, but take the MRI for example and how it was created from the observations and discoveries of an astrophysicist. He then went on to say that yes, on rare occasions people do find use of it, but the majority of it is wasted money on knowledge that no one necessarily needs. I stated that there is a huge group of people that DO find it necessary and ARE curious about the origins and nature of our universe. He then said that that was not the case for the average joe and that I was simply an exception, a minority. Please help me to pro

I currently live in the bible belt, am 18, and almost about to graduate from High School. First I want to start off by saying that I had attempted suicide once before, when I was a sophmore in highschool. I took a bunch of pills (a mixture of oxycodon, hydrocodon, etc) and overdosed while at school. Nearly died. Yet that was when I was a Christian...and honestly believed that there was something better for me in the afterlife. Well I ended up living.

Now fastforward a couple years and now I am an atheist, a senior in high school, and once again I find myself depressed. I lost many friends recently due to stupid fights, didn't get accepted into the college (or any college) that I wanted to

Such as the fact that they refuse universal healthcare because they feel like it should be their choice not to help others (or actually themselves in the long run), when in the bible it preaches about giving to the poor? Please, I know that the bible is filled with BS already. I KNOW THIS ALREADY. I am talking in terms of a hypothetical "let's take all the BS out of the bible-- more than 50% of it -- and leave the good stuff." I also could care less on your economic views. Whether or not universal healthcare is a good thing is not important.

So do you think they ever realize that by not wanting to pay taxes to help the general good, they are contradicting the teachings of helping the genera

I have a girlfriend and she regularly loves to mention of the workings of the magic man. Whenever I am down on my luck, she usually says something like "Don't worry, God always has a plan." She knows I am atheist, and whenever she says this it really pisses me off. Makes me want to eat a baby. Usually I'll try to change the topic after her responding like this, but it happens every single time. Also, whenever she mentions god it usually has a correlation with me having a bad day or something. Like she is trying to convert me at my weakest moment. How should I respond to things like this?

TL;DR Girlfriend talks about god at my low points. Makes me eat babies.

I hear the debate of morals way too often. But though Atheist morals are questioned for their existence, I have never seen Christians truthfully questioned where theirs come from. They speak of God creating their morals, so does this mean they are simply doing what they are told? They do not ACTUALLY help a poor man, but instead do it because their God says it is the right thing to do? I was watching Carl Sagan and he a made a point by saying our meaning is to give all man meaning. We create our own reasons to live and our own morals. Atheists create their morals for this sole purpose, most will help others because they attempt to give their life, as it is relative to our world, meaning. The

Theists will always criticize atheists by saying "If there is no god, what is the purpose to life."

But I have come to a revelation. If there is an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent God, a Heaven, and a Hell. . . what is the purpose to life? If God already knows I will go to Hell, than why am I not there? What is the purpose to this life? If there is any purpose, it only proves that God is a sadist. I can't see anything around this.

I currently date a Christian and she has attacked me several times for being atheist. I ask her why it had mattered so much. Why could we not just have a secular, worldly relationship? I mean, that's what it was, right? Well I looked on the intawrwebz to see if maybe there was some Christian ideal of not being allowed to date a non-believer, when I came upon this link. The summary of the article says that it is alright to be friends with an atheist but not date them. It also goes on to say that it IS alright, however, to seriously date someone of a different religion? I do not see the logic in this. I would think that worldly relationships distract from a religious person's "relationship" wi
