Society & Culture - 17 August 2006

Seriously...I've heard it time and again that people should always fear God. Why? Is it because He allowed his only son to be sacrified for our sins? Because He is all knowing, all powerful, and can banish us to Hell in a moment's flash?

Some of us have been through some major trials in this life. After all that, why should we be afraid of God?

One would think that God would want us to respect Him out of love not fear. Isn't it considered abusive in any other relationship when one person fears the other?

Now, don't go getting all upset at me...I'm not trying to be inflammatory, just asking questions.

There are three options given current & historical events (natural disasters, wars, genocide, etc.):

1. God does not exist

2. God does exist but is evil

3. God does exist and is good but is non-interventionist

Which statement is true?

Remember what you thought last night?
But there's no scientific proof for that.
So you never thought?

They are not being a good example of their own religion when they do that. No religion promotes lying, so why do people do it?

I dont know! I will never know!! Everybody says something differnet.

For people who believe in the Post trib rapture. What about the children?

The bible says he forced everyone to take the mark of the beast, and who takes it will be tormented with fire. He will force children and babies to take it, and babies wont know what they are doing!!

I dont understand!!!!!!!!

I mean, I live in america, 86% Of america believe in a god. But in other counties its as low as like 12%. Its like Flip a coin. If its head, You goto heaven, If its tails you goto hell. I hope heads come up.

What I mean, As I was born in america i am lucky to have known about Jesus and God and christianity, But if I was born in a 12% believing in God country, I would have grew up atheist and be an atheist now, Because of the infulences and bad role models etc.

No where in the bible does it say all atheists goto the lake of fire.

It says a fool is an atheist.

It says all fornicatots, Liars drunks, idorators, etc goto the lake of fire. But no atheists.

I think the only way to goto hell is To believe in Jesus, Believe in God, Understand and believe in the plan of salavation and reject it. And that will send one to hell.


What do you think??

If me and Leanne accidentally on purpose murder Fiona because she's annoying us will we get away with it? Have you got any tips on covering it up and making it look more 'accidental'? And which method would be the most enjoyable for me and Leanne?

*Question posted under community service heading as we'd be doing a service to the community in ridding them of the evil that is Fiona.

Me - a glass of shiraz, a plastic figurine of Mr Burns (where did that come from?), a cutting of a recipe for prawns in chilli and plum sauce, a picture of Borneo and my very old cat (at a very awkward angle).

Yes, I'm a wee bit bored, go on and humour me with your desk top items!

You say God dosen't exist because there is no scientific proof he is real.
If that's the case, can I safely conclude that you have no soul?

Considering there is no scientific proof you have one at all.

I was naked in my garden while a group of boyscouts, with a very strict teacher of mine as their leader, were marching towards me. I couldn't get inside my house so I was just standing there, while the boyscouts were laughing at me.
When the group passed, I could get inside.

btw.. I'm a 14year old girl.
What does this mean please? :)
