i am not an overly religious guy, but how can you be so sure that there is no god? is science alone enough to explain why we are here? do you think that we are creatures made from monkeys that have no true purpose in life? everytime i stop and think about wheter or not god exists, i look at the small things in life that we take for granted. take a look at what science has taught us. look at photosynthesis for example. the delicate balance provides us with air while disposing of our waste. yes, it can be scientifically explained, but do you honestly think that evolution could do something like this? or you could look at things at a more wide perspective. take the earth for example. we are just far enough away from the sun as not to burn up, but not far enough away from it to be too cold to support life. this earth has too many coincendences for me not to have some sort of fire insurance... once again i dont want to sound preachy, but telling a higher power that may or may not exist to kiss your ass wouldnt be the brightest thing ive ever done... i guess when it comes down to it, youll never know till you die and if there is a god you havent made a very good case for yourself.
ill see you in hell man😵
and as to the fact about gods telling people to fly planes into buildings... the world is a f***ed up place. people believe in different gods perhaps. i know i am startin to sound almost RBHILL-like, but i wouldnt blame god if some towelhead crashed a plane claiming god told him to do it. these people hate our way of life and everything we stand for. if it werent for blaming it on thier god, they would have something else to pin it on.
lol i am hardly the authority on religion. i live my life to the fullest and never try to screw anyone over. as for ted bundy and dahmmer getting into heaven for repenting on thier death bed...no way. if there is a god i believe he is fair and just. i dont think he would give a murderer and a fence rider the same punishment.
Originally posted by scoffs2001I believe you are mistaking what people do with what God does, or as bad or worse what people do in the name of God. In God you have your being, everything good comes from him, what we do with it is another thing altogether.
look around at all the trouble in the world. what kind of God would want you to fly planes into buildings? what kind of God would make you confess your sins to a man (probably gay or paedaphillic) in a frock whos not allowed to marry or have sex (which cannot be healthy)? what kind of God would make you speak in tongues about things only your soul underst ...[text shortened]... and if there is a God that thinks any of these things are holy and good then he can kiss my ass
Originally posted by scoffs2001Nope.
maybe you are right. but arent i also right when i say if there was no religion there would be less trouble in the world (or maybe we would just find other reasons to kill each other).
Religion is just one of the excuses the ruling classes use to convince plebs like us to do the killing for them.
What it's really about is power, money and land.
Originally posted by scoffs2001Do people murder and rape without religion? Do they use positions of power and authority to trample over others without religion? Religion is a source of great evil in the world, I'm a Christian and have no trouble saying that. Just as the beliefs of religious people have also led others to think of others over themselves too, even to giving up their lives for others. I believe that in the end, we will see that truth will win out, also when all is revealed we see things for what they really are, much to our dismay, and joy.
