funny u should say that as most people that don't believe in god believe religion is a man made thing to make the masses submit unto there gov. but the funny thing is the christians "the ones who believes in jesus and god" were the ones being killed and punished by the govs/rulers for not going with how they wanted them to be.

and the churches were the ones that were corrupt and sold out to the rulers of the day. so for people to say it's all made up to control u really should look at the history of it all. just because a corrupt church took religion and molded it to work for them, does'nt mean the religion is bad, but the ones using it to trick people to believe something thats not meant to be read that way.

i feel i am a spirtual person, but im not a religious person
i believe something created what we know today
i dont believe if your retarded/cant think for yourself or have never seen other races of humans that you will go to hell when you die because you DONT KNOW ABOUT their god, or if a baby dies BEFORE IT ACCEPTS god, it will go to hell
i believe religion is the worst thing in the world, but spirtuality is the best thing in the world

well if u read the bible it says just that babies don't go to hell who ever said that??

in the bible you have to accept god and be a true believer to go to heaven thats what i have been taught

i have never read the bible or will I, but i was brought up in a baptist background

but my family is very religious and hate how i question the bible or archealogical evidence against the bible
