lol Psst you are in for a few rounds......she's a heavy weight in her class lol....

i'd pay good money for a good fight i love boxing....
lol

stick around there is always a good spar in this area lol.....there might be alittle action on the the 10 reasons to be a christian lol......

lol yeah i might have added fule for that fire....
I’m having a little battle of my own in World Events & Current Affairs section over immigration...

uh oh I'll have to check it out...lol

Please show me where I had said ONE God is special..when I CLEARLY said that God doesnt need us..then afterwards I said in reply when you asked..do other Gods/goddess.need us..I again said NO...therefore I said NOOOOOOOOOOOO to both..and here you are again......so i'll spell it out for you Zannie

IMO God does NOT need us

Other Gods/Goddess Do NOT need us

now is that clear as a bell for you??

If you want to banter on at me...............GO FOR IT BIG GUY..I'm here

LOL @ boxing

The 10 reasons to be a christian thread is funny..but seriously true

I understand your reasoning manapa... but many great people have a belief in a higher power, they enjoy every minute of life and are motivated to make society a better place. They don't see a belief in God as a weakness, but rather a partnership. The relationship is centered on respect. Whether this relationship is purely created by the person's imagination is debatable, but it is the end results that count. Sure there are folks that abuse their relationship with a higher power, probably because they view it as a dictatorship, free to do what one pleases with no regards for others. But for the respectful believer, God is merely a gut-check, an ego destroyer, a motivational source of unlimited strength.

And I respect and appreciate all of those who do, it's the ones who use it to control, or their own agenda such as hate, and then hate all others who are supposedly against their god that bothers me, and unfortunately those are the majority of the people out there...
But like I said I’m not going to judge people by whether they believe in god or not, it's their actions and deeds that I go by and I have had the fortune to meet quite a few that I know and respect, for me it's to love of life and attempting to understand more then just their own selves and religion that I appreciate in anyone no matter what faith

There you go again.....You mention just ONE God.....which God/Gods/Goddess/Goddesses are you talking about?

I never said that you said one God was special.

Well, I assume that there is only one Creator, instead of a whole stable full of them. One Creator would tend to provide a more consistent universe, whereas I have never seen anything good come out of a committee. You know the old joke, “a giraffe is a camel designed by a committee!” - Mako

Arty you are speaking of diesm not religon...religion is not about a partner ship with 'god',
or you describe enlightened ....lol

God is our father he has eternal love for his creatures he watches and protects over us but he can also be wrathful to those who are disobedient towards him.I can't imagine a world without him it would be worse then Hell.His light shines forever and oneday we'll all know who he is when the time comes

Think of how bad it is with him: How much does Jesus love the little Children?

How much worse could it be without him.....

good point zan jsut have a look and it wil be obvious just how bad things are lol.......

There is only ONE God I pray to and believe in and thats the one in heaven with his son Jesus....but he AINT the christian God thats for sure

Was it Gods fault for mans fall or that serpent on our tree of life who persecutes us day&night if we can't except the father the son & the holy spirit in our lives we suffer.In some cases the Angels are powerless to help for man think they're selfrelient but we all being lied to by a bad force which can lead you to death knowledge is the what we have to appease God and vanquish Demons

I wasn't speaking of deism directly although it is a religion. For many, religions are about a partnership...the believers give of themselves to their source of worship and in return receive what they believe is guidance or enlightenment from their god. Both are working together...a partnership.

I don’t know, if a small child get seriously burned because you didn’t tell it that fire was dangerous, is it your fault or the childs’ fault that it was injured? Adam and Eve had no knowledge of right or wrong, they were as young children, so how can what happened be their fault. You need to lay the blame on the actual culprit, through ommission – YWHW/Jehovah!

You know alot of wars start because our belief in a god/gods. Why do you think the crusades attacked the muslims? If we didn't have religion(just a theory) wouldn't there be no wars? I mean I know there are other reasons, but it's mostly religion and god/gods.

The Europeans attacked the Turks because they needed a common enemy. It not only gave them a respite in an era of constant internal struggles, but unified the Catholic Church of Western Europe with the Orthodox Church of Constantinople. If they hadn't used religion as an excuse, it would have been something else (most likely race). The Crusades were not an effect of religion, religion was simply an excuse for it. Keep in mind that Western European knights on a campaign against the Turks actually got so sick of being beaten by the Turks that they attacked and sacked the city of Constantinople (their "brothers in Christ"). These Western Europeans held the city for about 2 years. They can't have taken the religion aspect too seriously.

As for God, I believe in Him for a lot of reasons. I'm a despicable thing, yet He has an undying love for me. That kind of love is difficult to not reciprocate. I believe in Him because I've felt Him a lot. I believe in Him because when I pray, He responds. I more often than not get what I ask for. If I don't, I get something better. I believe in Him because humans are horribly flawed beings not to be trusted with their own lives; I need someone to look after me. I believe in Him because I'm not alone, ever. I believe in Him because He is infinitely intelligent; he checkmated Satan with one man's death. I believe in Him the most because I can FEEL what kind of person I would be without Him. Without a higher standard, a higher requirement of me, I would be a terrible thing. I'm no saint now, but God keeps me from being a monstrosity.

He's got a wicked sense of humor, too. "21On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." 23Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died." - Acts 12:20-23

Okay, thats sick, but freakin HILARIOUS. I can just see God glaring at Herod and muttering "Shut up, newb."

Keep in mind God isn't really a He either. That's just the common pronoun.

Wow a skepitic who believes in something they can't see... That's a first.

I dont believe in what I havent experienced.

I've experienced God, I haven't experienced anything paranormal.

hey i figured it out... we all just need a common enemy and we can be united....
the church used religion to fight the turks, the pope called for the crusades.... they didn't need enemies they had enough of those just between them selves

Arty I hesitatie to be trite but i must its not a partnership if it involves worship....its dependence i thought you for a moment were describing a interdependent relationship each works together for the benefit of the whole ....If gods is all things why the need for worship lol?????

I feel you on that, Ferran.

A Posteriori religious experience! Good point.

Sheri, I wasn't speaking for myself. I was merely pointing out the beliefs of others and how it affects their lives. Many people view their relationship with God as a 'give and take' one. They give of themselves, God takes.. God gives through spiritual awareness and the individual takes heed. Although it may seem abstract, it works for a lot of people...they just have a different way of reaching spiritual peace.
You know you love to be trite Sheri jk

We dont need a god, the first gods were pagan which was a way to explain why the sun comes up and the changing of the seasons when time was young. then the cristians took parts of all the pagan religions and made cristianity. Now we have science we dont need a god, because we can explain everything properly!

Do you not have belief in yourself???!!!!! Because that would constitute belief.
I feel sorry for any person who does not have belief in them selfs or their family.

what do you mean by that? if you mean do i belive in a god then no, i just truley belive in evolution.

This behavior has been ingrained into us as small children as a sign of ultimate respect and love for the Lord. I myself was taught that even tho now as an adult I have way too many questions about all of these things I can accept and respect that people do this.

My apologises that statement was aimed at eden grange, thus i quoted him/her.
As long as you have belief in yourself then that is all that should matter.

Evolution is what we have proved, so based on the evidence we have i would be inclined to agree with you.

Yes.. Nowadays truely there is no worship inbetween husband and wife only workship exist.. never beleive in a married life.. better we can lead bachelor life and end this..

So are you denying your existence if it were'nt for God this world will be worse then hell It was the Angels good and bad who taught us knowledge of our surroundings look at Leonardo Davincis work and the prophetic work in the Bible which is all based on fact we would all be hunter gatherers without God

THANKS... SO CAPS HAVE SO MUCH MEANING IN IT..

so let me try polite and nice... patience

God is in total control and keeps the world together. If it weren't for Him it'd never exist...and even if it did it'd be mayhem.

It is mayhem LOL

Well, why do I need God personally?

I don't really. But I sure as hell hope there is one.

If this life means nothing, and after all the hardships we go through, we die and that's the end, then nature is one cruel SOB. I have no idea if there's an afterlife, or even a God, but I hope so. I just hope he's not like the God of the bible >.>.

I'm not into all this BS like "Well, you give meaning to your life". It doesn't mean so much when you're gone and dead, eh? I'm talking about a real meaning.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm sorry, but evolution is far from proven.

There is no way to scientifically PROVE origins. The scientific method, which is the agreed upon method of proving anything scientifically cannot prove either creation or evolution.

The Scientific Method requires that the scientist:

1. directly observe an event or process

2. develop questions which will help him/her focus his/her further observations

3. arrive at a hypothesis or theory based on these observations

4. conduct verifyable, independently (that is by others on their own) repeatable experiments

5. evaluate the results of the experiments

6. determine whether the results of the experiments prove or disprove the theory.

The fact we are unable to do step 1 (we can't travel back in time to the origin, so we can't observe) by itself prevents proving, but we are also unable to do step 4, so from a scientific standpoint evolution and creation hold equal footing as UNPROVABLE THEORIES.

As to the question of why do we need a God?

The answer is simple: because God created us to be his companions. He built us with a need for intimacy with Him.

Religion was created in a time when we knew nothing about ourselves or the universe. We needed to know where we came from and what happened when we died. Religion gave us those answers and also scared people into being good("if you be bad you go to hell").

But in this day in age when science can explain many more things than religion can there is less of a need for religion.

Science is the new religion.

Isn't it called scientology?

Do you plan on having children? If you do, wouldn't raising them to live and enjoy their own lives be meaning enough to live, even if there is nothing after death? It would be meaning enough for me. I personally think the idea of the "afterlife" was thought up by very selfish people. I mean no offense to you though.

Uh, no. There would be no purpose in living.

What makes you think that?

You're born, take all kinds of crap from adults as a child, then your body turns on you and embarasses the hell out of you during puberty, that ends just in time for you to get a job so you can eat and that's all there is to life? This is all there is to it?

No one leads a completely care-free, problem-free life, even dopers have to search for the next hit, rich people have to guard their wealth, everyone struggles in some way, and there's nothing else!!!!

No. I will make the best of my short existence here as someone who admits i'm completely broken and worthless, accpet God's gift of eternal life, do the works He prepared for me, and at some point go to my mansion on the gold-paved streets.

Even if it turns out that I was wrong, I'd rather face death knowing it's only the beginning, that my rewards are just coming, that a life of complete communion with God is finally here and when I die, if I was wrong, then I'll never know it. But if I'm right, what a horrible shock it will be for those expecting to just cease to be when instead they face a God they always denied who will then simply return the favor.

EXCELLENT POST..short sweet and straight to the point...

I found my reason to live..when I had my child...I now look forward to every single day....I believe in God and in heaven...but even if I found there was no such thing....that wouldnt stop me from enjoying my life, watching my child grow

The part about the afterlife..you say it's brought up by very selfish people....I disagree with you (sorry)...but it's NOT selfish...its hope...that when you loose a loved one...you like to think, there is an afterlife for them, and you hope that one fine day, you get to see them again.............like IE - your mom...dad ect..even if one of your lil kids passed on......I KNOW I would spend every waking hour thinking of how I want to see her again ...*touches wood it will be a mighty long time before that happens*

I don't accept or deny the existence of god. I simply live my life as best I can with the knowledge that I don't know what comes after death. Nobody knows what comes after death. All we have is belief and hope as far as we know. But personally, I don't care for "communion with god." If god exists, so be it. It will make no difference to me.

I'm sorry for that comment about selfish people. It was just something I thought, but I understand your feelings. It is really sad when people die before experiencing a full and happy life. It still stands though that nobody knows. A lot of people hope for an afterlife, I don't hope for one, but I'm not against it in any way. ^^

Of course nobody knows for sure...I am aware of that, but for those of us that believe...thats what gives us hope...I dont see it as selfish...I see it as hope...

Either way I liked your post

Thanks. I like alota your posts too. It's great to see a believer who questions things. And yeah, I admit I was in the wrong on that comment I made about selfish people. I can't believe it slipped my mind that people miss their dead loved ones. -_- But anyway, that is a good reason to hope. I do think there are some others though, that hope because they want to live forever, or be favored by whatever god they believe in. Those two would be selfish reasons in my opinion.
