Sure, but I think it's important to have these discussions.
As long as I live I want to know as much about the universe in which we live. Science has provided so much for me and my understanding of
how we essentially got here.

^^^^I only laughed because of how "matter of fact" you said all that...like there was any proof and like it wasn't all opinion
-Like we aren't taught to believe in any one religion
-Like Jesus Christ is universally a savior to all people....even other religions

It is that humorous, you make it sound as though we atheists/agnostics can't possibly lead a life without Jesus.
And what makes Jesus so great? Why not be a Muslim? Hindu? Jewish? What makes Christianity so great?
Humans don't need to believe in anything to be a better person or have some sort of morality. Although many of you here would like to think so, it just isn't essential.

I don't know why this is such a hard concept for religious people to grasp. They are so stuck in their own little bubble of ignorance that they fail to acknowledge the fact that other religions and philosophies consider them the atheists.

I want to answer these questions in an intelligent, cogent, and persuasive way, but honestly I lack the knowledge of my own faith and the words to provide a rebuttal. So, let's just leave it at that guys.
Carry on.

Christianity is a continuity of Judaism and Islam is a continuity of both Judaism and Christianity. So for Muslims, they believe in Jesus and the Jewish prophets, but Jesus as a prophet and messenger of God.
There are so many faiths and religions and most of them claim as to be exclusively the true religion and the truth. I just cannot grasp how there has been religions since the beginning of mankind whether they worshipped suns or the moon or transcendent figures, and they have evolved so much and continue to evolve whether some die off or others are newly created or others transform. There cannot be just one true ultimate religion.

Exactly Anton. People who are Christian view themselves as having the "right" form of religion. And the same goes for Muslims, Hindus, etc. Yet they themselves deny every other form of religion that is out there(making them atheists in a sense), but they can't seem to understand why we deny them and their beliefs.
So who is really right? How can any of these religions possibly make a case for being the best? I don't think they can.

Religion (no matter the denomination) is just a guide to live by.... basically to keep you morally in line. there is no true religion.

"Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
By the law(10 commandments being part) are ALL condemned. Religion is irrelevant. Humanity is radically depraved as we can see by people's reactions/feelings towards it. Some blatantly disregard it, while others trying to pass it off as irrelevant, as if an archaic law for another people with no application towards us. 10 Commandments will always be a mirror of who humanity is, how they fall short of Yahweh/Jehovah, and man will NEVER be able to fulfill the law.
By Moses came the law(10 commandments, and all other laws in the Pentateuch), but grace and truth by Jesus Christ. The gospel is simple, God's wrath had to lay down on humanity. The law and sacrifices were never the means to save humanity, but shown to the Jewish people that they needed to trust on another, because of their inability to keep the WHOLE of the law. All the sacrifices and offerings were only a picture of Jesus Christ. The cross that Jesus Christ died on for a payment for humanity towards God. Only God Himself could justify God not destroying all of mankind. God is not only a God of love, He is a God of justice. And whether you believe in the Bible or not, we will all one day face God, not as a Saviour, but as the judge of mankind. Disregard his Word, disregard his Son, but it is a fact that we will all face God.
Your only hope is trusting in Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation, by his death on the cross, his burial, and his resurrection. If this is not true man is still cursed from God, and waiting for his wrath until this day, however...
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree"
Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son or ye shall all perish. In this life, and eternity to come.

You also seem to be ignoring the answers religion gives that are illogical and morally wrong.
I mean seriously if you strip away every mention of GOD, the miracles, and any other mysticism from the bible and pay attention to the parts that tell you how to be a good person and do what's right it's just a bunch of philosophers changing their views over time or one rigidly unproven philosphical view that ppl can easily realize isn't morally right.
All of the moral dilemmas religion provides good answers to are rational and logical. I'd like you to provide some answers religion provides to moral dilemmas that a logical and rational person could not come up with. That would be rather amazing.
