god can not exsist

[Checkminus]

I'd have to say we're on the same page. I wouldn't say "all" one-god-religion people are like that, but a crap load are and should learn to use that funny little part of their brain that enables critical thought.

I agree with you, I guess you could say im a "one-god-religion" person. It's true that most christians try very hard to impress their lifestyle onto people. And exactly as you said, many many people fail to use the logical thought that (at least in my, probably flawed, oppinion) God gave us. If we weren't meant to use it, we probably wouldn't have it.

Here's a question for everyone...

There are literally an infinity ways and reasons to explain stuff. So why single it down too just ONE. To me, there's just to many options, and to single it down to one is arrogant. I think when people have religions, they reduce their capabilities to interpret stuff around them. They become 'close-minded".

Howdy naturalmystic,

I agree,that some folks can be close-minded,if they are thoroughly 'steeped' in their religion,however,that's mostly true for the less educated person of Faith,for those that are more educated,they are in a constant process of reconciling new data versus accepted belief. But the data that they process,is not used for rejecting their Faith,but rather,to see the Hand of God in all things.

My Faith,has made me more spiritual,not less..being a father and a man of 46 years,I have seen much that can only be explained as the Hand of God being involved,in fact,I often have circular reaffirmations,on a daily basis,that God works in mysterious ways,indeed. The longer you live,the more that you will experience,that can only be explained as the influence of a Higher Power. Simply becoming a father,made me more spiritual and I realized that our children,are indeed a blessing from God, and I have been humbled many times,having to start over from scratch..sometimes from the street. I give all credit to God,for what seemed miraculous at times,the providing of what I and my family needed. Events have come together in such a way,as to defy any other explanation..and you have to be spiritually aware,to discern the mysterious workings of God,but you can grasp it to some degree,if you simply pay attention. However,we are warned not to go to far in this particular discerment..but rather,simply be grateful and humble and place our trust in God.

To me,Science merely reinforces my Faith,as we discover how the Universe works..it does not lead me away from God..but rather,leads me back to God.

Have a good one ....

By refusing to even accept the notion that there may be one true religion, you could be considered close minded. But on a whole you're probably right.

That's very true. It could go both ways i suppose.

What did God do during that eternity before he created everything? If God was all that existed back then, what disturbed the eternal equilibrium and compelled him to create? Was he bored? Was he lonely? God is supposed to be perfect. If something is perfect, it is complete--it needs nothing else. We humans engage in activities because we are pursuing that elusive perfection, because there is disequilibrium caused by a difference between what we are and what we want to be. If God is perfect, there can be no disequilibrium. There is nothing he needs, nothing he desires, and nothing he must or will do. A God who is perfect does nothing except exist. A perfect creator God is impossible.

That makes good sense. Like I said before, as humans we cannot think of something beyond ourselves, nor can we form a mental image of something we have never seen. If there's life in the Universe other than on our little planet, can anyone truly say that they have an idea of how the extra-terrestrials would look like? It's the same with God. It makes no sense to give God human emotions like being bored, or angry, or vengeful, because he isn't human (if he exists at all)

the answers will never be known as fact on either side of the debate.thats what makes it so fun.
