Like I mentioned earlier it never hurts to read a good book on this subject. I would seriously look into the books I listed on my other thread.


For all you people interested in science and do not believe in God then May I suggest reading 2 books....The first Book is By Marvin L. Lebenow TITLE Bones Of Contention the second book Author Lee Strobel TITLE The Case For Christ This is a journalist's Personal Investigation of the evidence for Jesus. These books may help you understand things you didnt know were there to know.

These books are intense!!

Okay, Ammie and Mrs Potato Head... so these things happend, ok, but why does it mean that God exists!?! It doesn't make sense.. it's like "Something good happened, so God must exist"????? Mrs Potato, think about this - why would God help your mom to save that woman from an accident, but do nothing to stop the World Trade Centers being destroyed, or stop all those children in that Russian school from being killed!?!? NOW do you still think it was an act of God?

I'm sick of people praising God for good things that happen, and not blaming him for bad things that happen.. if he is leavin us to free will, why would he do good? surely if he can do good, then he can stop bad from happening? It doesnt make sense..

people should start taking responsibility for their own lives.. instead of 'trusting God'.. because you praise God for the good things, but that doesnt stop bad things happening.. so youre not really any better off

anywya, im probably gonna get flamed for sayin that, so yea

thats just how we feel about the situation in our hearts that dont me u have to feel the same. I had and overwhelming feelin when all this happened to me and i knew what it was. He made himself very real to me. People always want to balime god to all the worng and bad things but ur forgetin hes not all thats out there its a battle everyday good vs evil eveyone knows that. God gave us the freedom to make our own choices and deal with the repercusstions. But again ill say this just because this is how i feel about things and how i make sense of it dont mean anyone else needs to do the same

Are you aware of the size of the universe? Who is to say that Earth is the only planet in the entire universe with walking, talking and thinking creatures? .

Hmmm. I didn't really say god created human I am studying the old testament @ my University this semester & Taking biology ironically at the same time. I think it's helped me quite a bit in trying to understand but it's fruitless.

The old T and sources J E D P
To be honest with you it's just a published book well the first ever published book. Do I beleive it No!(It's just beliefs once again) but I respect it's words like none other. Honestly our creator could very well be extraterrestrials. Like you said cleve "BIG UNIVERSE". I mean something that big. look at all the possibilities on earth alone. The universe and possibilities seem unimanigiable. In all the time in the world Mankind will never figure how to make life without manipulation. Something sooooooooooooooooooooooo complicated

Look at evoulution for a second.
The day of the lizardinasours...prehistoric 'hot'
The day of the mammals:Mammoths.Sabertooths...Ice Age 'cold'
The day of monkey/man:???/ .....'Both'
lol what's next
Ther's alot to be explained. Are we habitating ourselves or is something habitating us.

The begginnig for mankind had to be bruital,Yall agree right. I mean women wher straight up property. Without the Belief of god (remember god represents all of good. Since it made us and all) women would still be property the poor would still be slaves the nazis would of owned the world etc etc"

The belief helps us not go apeshit over everything (The average citizen especially 'man' has much capacity for hate like you would't believe) and end our very own existence. Yet a belief brings us to a better life. You not need to believe in god because the person right next to ya probably does. It makes a great balance.

This thread is pretty cool. none offense takin

well i'll admit it, i only read the fdirst couple postz, but anywayz, the simple fact ov the matter iz that god dint write the bible, so i dunt c the point in followin it. itz anybodyz guess az 2 how thingz came 2 b. spiritual/religious ppl will prolly have faith in a religion or philosophy becuz they need sumthin 2 beleive in, an 2 sum who dunt even truly beelive in the history of the religion, it offerz a spiritual peice ov mind. im not a very spiriutal person az i choose not 2 belive in anythin fer certain until itz proven 2 me. i agree wit wut ghost wuz sayin , if there iz a god, y duznt he make himself clear 2 all ov us. i'll b on again later wit more say prolly hahah.

Another History lesson courtesy of the F L E S H

Before the realitively new wave of monotheistic religions (i.e. Judaeism, Christianity, Islam), in Europe anyway, women were not property by any means. In fact, women were considered more sacred than men, given the simple fact they're the ones who give birth. Pagan religions often had women as priestesses, and sex was not an 'obscene' act, it was a sacred spiritual and physical act which creates life, it was something to be embraced and loved.

Sadly, the place of women gradually deteriorated for many many reasons, most of which are still not understood today. What is unsderstood, however, is that in the early part of the 4th century A.D. the Roman Emperor Constantine held the first ever Church Council in a city called Nicaea, near Constantinople. There, much of the Christian faith was discussed and made official, and Christianity pretty much became what it is today. Much of the dogma agreed upon there was for purely political reasons, since Constantine didn't really give a shit about religion, he just wanted to control his empire. There, the final nail in women's freedom's coffin was driven in, as it was decided that Original Sin is entirely Eve's fault, thus all womankind. Thus, women and everything associated with them was vilified, first and foremost sex.

Did you ever think WHY sex is seen as something dirty and to be ashamed of? Did you know that the Church considers any sex whatsoever, except for the sole purpose of procreation, sinful? Anyway, I don't know too much about this subject, but I know a bit. Just remember that 90% of organized religion today is more politics than faith, and that goes for ALL of them.

Mrs Potato, think about this - why would God help your mom to save that woman from an accident, but do nothing to stop the World Trade Centers being destroyed, or stop all those children in that Russian school from being killed!?!? NOW do you still think it was an act of God?

I was just relating an experience my mum had (I love her and respect her and believe that her experience was really what god is for her). I have chosen to not "follow" a religion or a human ideal of what god is. I am willing to respect people and listen to people who share their experiences of spirituality (not text book preaching) because I find it not only interesting thing but beautiful.

A question for Torog . How is it that you can't understand people that smoke pot not believing in god? Your government (am i right in thinking you are an avid supporter of the Bush government) hates pot smokers and judges you in the name of your god? Shouldn't you be asking them why they don't believe in the miracle of god known as marijuana? Pot is obviuosly a large and important part of your life but you support this government
