Guess what ?
I do include God in my life and still Im going to hell.
These people that say If you don't believe in God then you're going to hell ,this really drives me nuts.
Also what they are doing is judgeing which is a sin in itself.
There is such a thing as people following Gods words without even realizeing it and without believeing in his existence.

The truth is some people would have a better chance in going to heaven then I ever would.

Lets say I did every sin in the book except I believed in GOD.
Well the Devil does the same thing.

Now lets say a person didn't believe in God but never did any other sins.

Who would you think has a better chance going through the pearly gates.

NOT ME!!

Am i the only person out there who doesnt care? I mean I care to know but not to dwell in the fact. I know how I got here and really thats all I care to know.

Especially since there are many theories out there and not any of them have been 100% proven.

When it is, I will accept it. Until then my major is international finance not beginning of human science...

I'm really just sick of the constant evolution vs. creationism posts. its like thats the only argument christians think is valid and hold over atheists heads. "well you think you came from monkeys"

as if evolutionist, with the proof they have come up with, look more remidial than the proof that christians havent.

and on that note....being an atheist cant surely mean that you automatically believe in (darwins theory at least) of evolution.

hi,

i've recently begun seeing this guy whose from the african american descent - and i'm not. We're not out and proud and rather hang out as friends up until now, but all we do is hold hands while walking in public. I don't know what it is, whether its the gay thing that bothers them or the interracial thing but they seem to give us the weirdest stares and im very self-conscious. my bf doesnt care so much - but I don't feel like going out in public with him. We argued about this earlier today. I like him and I dont mind it but I hate being judged and it sucks.

There are far more people going to hell than to heaven. Wouldn't it make more sense to use us for his own personal army against the minority in heaven? This is after that whole big battle takes place the Christians believe will happen. Even if Satan loses that great battle they await, he has eternity to come up with another attack plan with all his troops, right? That's what I would do if I were Satan.

You can go ahead and tell me this is a dumb question, but I already know it is.

I believe that Jesus was a perfect man that came to earth teaching about loving every one. and that is was betrayed by his own people and died for every one's sin. I believe Jesus loves every one. I think it is 1000% wrong to be a gay basher. I respect homosexuals just like any body else. I try not to judge people and condemn them. I don't think Jesus would be the person in High School and haning out with the so called "popular kids" or even the "Good Kids" i think he would talk to every one to the drugs dealer and theives to the "Good Kids and the "popular" kids. Lastly I believe I am no better than any one else. Not a gay person. Not a Atheist. Or any religion.

Faith does not ignore the reality of science

But

Science ignores the reality of God&faith in God.

Explain why you agree or disagree.

Suspend disbelief and take it for a fact that you have 7 days left to live. What would you do? How would you spend the last 7 days of your life?

4. None of the above ... What & Why?

Suspend disbelief for a moment and take it for a fact that you indeed have 7 days left to live.
How would you spend them? (I'm not expecting you to say I'd run out and find God, I'm actually interested in what you would do for real).
Thanks!

my meaning is initially when nature was created spirits might be created then some spirits sent to world as i heard from vedas that it was difficult to run the world for the God because spirits were going to the original home . then God created more and more maya so that spirits should struck in maya wheel. ok that is fine it was initial phase . but now why the spirits come back to worldly life from the heavenly life or brahamha lok life.what could be the possible reason. i am not saying wheather it is true or not . i am saying suppose it is true then why it happens.

(Before answering PLEASE read my definition of what a science is. This question (unlike the hundred others posted here) is NOT asking you if you think evolution should be taught in public schools. It is asking you how it could (or couldn't) be taught in a science curriculum)

Science is defined as acquiring knowledge using the scientific method. Scientific method is essentially gathering observable, measurable evidence. Based on this evidence a hypothesis is created. Based on experimentation a theory is reached. A theory comes from the experimental evidence created that proves the hypothesis as true.

Now that we know what science is. Please explain to me why you think (whether you are Agnostic, Atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish... I don't care) evolution could (or couldn't) be used in science class. Basically, how would evolution be taught if it can't be measured, dissected, etc... ?

Why do people who claim to be "Spiritual, NOT Religious" get so upset when you disagree with a purely religious dogma?

I've noticed that the ones who say they are "not religious but are spiritual" are usually more religious than most. Why are they ashamed of being religious?
