Nope, I think there is no God. If there really is a God, there wouldn't be anymore wars, violence, and stuff like that. And if there really was a God, we would probablly only have 1 religon anyway. Not the countless number of religons we have in the world today! Im sure God would not allow any other Gods to take the orginal God's worshipers...
Also, I think the Bible is an outdated book. For example, in the bible it says masturbation is a sin... Well, in the bible it doesn't say masturbation is bad, but it does say in numerous pasages that lust is bad, and well, lust includes masturbation...
I really think any religon is not real, and the only way to prove that it is, is for the God him self to appear in the sky, and prove to the whole world and not just a few select people that he is infact, real. Look at the God's of the old Greek, Egyption, and Roman empires. No one worships them now! I wouldn't be surprised in the future that no one worships any form of Christianity any more. Who knows, maybe even new Gods and religon just might suddenly appear!
Anyway, I think were all going to hell when we die. According to the bible, were all going to be sinners no matter what. No one is going to be perfect. I think even just being horny is a sin, because your thinking of "lustuful" actions outside of marriage. Also, if you say God forgives all sins, then what about Adolf Hitler? He murdered 6 million people and not including all the soldiers that died because of him! Hey, what about Mr. Bush also! He sent soldiers over to Iraq, and many of them lost their lives because of him! Is he going to heaven or hell? Also, what a CEO of a big company who lays off workers so he can move his company to like Mexico so he can make an even bigger profit? Isn't greed a sin? These are all very big sins, and if I was God, I would defenitly not allow them into heaven!
Im not saying that you should stop worshiping your religon, go ahead, I don't care. Like all of the churches in my town do good stuff for the city such as helping out in the soup kitchens and even letting the homeless stay in tents outside of the church when the homeless shelter was full!
The only thing I hate about religon is when people try to force their ideas on me, and some of the ideas about religon. My parents force me to go to CCD classes, and I was kicked out of 3 classes because I questioned the teachers about issues which the church thinks in bad. I also hate it when Jehova Witnessess come to my house... Where I live they come at the worst times such as during dinner! Some of them refuse to leave and want to preach to me about there religon, so I have to threaten them with calling the cops on them if they don't leave me alone!
Well those are some of my ideas on religon!

Re: Do You Believe In God?
I don't worry about whether he exists or not, because theres no way to prove it. So I'm not going to worship something I can't see or touch.

Re: Do You Believe In God?
Yes, true. A quote I had in my signature a while ago explained that very well: "But surely there is no accounting for faith. The moment it is accounted for rationally it is no longer faith."If you could prove that God existed, then the christian religion would fall apart. It's based on faith, everything we believe is based on faith, it wouldn't work if it werent for faith.
If anyone really wants to look into this issue further, I suggest doing some research instead of just jumping to conclusions. A good place to start is by reading The Probability of God: A Simple Calculation That Proves the Ultimate Truth. I found this book at my local library, so check for it there. Also, read something by Lee Strobel! Either The Case for Christ or The Case For A Creator. Lee Strobel is wonderful; he amazes me.
Whatever our failings may be, we need not lower our eyes in the presence of Jesus...Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual but for the wobbly and the weak-kneed who know they don't have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace. As we glance up, we are astonished to find the eyes of Jesus open with wonder, deep with understanding, and gentle with compassion.

Re: Do You Believe In God?
Ok there is no way to prove that there is truly a god. No one really knows.
I personally believe in one but that is just my religion and everyones religion is different.

I know that time wont change a thing
If we're all moving in slow motion
It's hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down
Tomorrow is always a brand new day.
You're the one thats always there
You make me smile like no one else
When you cry I want to die
And when you hold me,
I get all choked up inside
I love Chad.

Re: Do You Believe In God?
The Bible lies from the beginning. It says that God created Adam, the first and only man at the time. From him he made Eve- the only woman. They had two kids, Cain and Abel, Cain killed Abel and then got married. How could he get married if the only humans on the earth were Cain, Adam, and Eve?

Re: Do You Believe In God?
Because it doesn't go into detail that Adam and Eve obviously had many more children. So he married his sister or some other close relative because that's what they did back then.Originally posted by heavens_sorrows@Jun 25 2004, 02:39 PM
