Why do Religious people constantly use Albert Einstein to justify their beliefs. Do you people not realize that Einstein did not believe in God. When Einstein said God, he was using the word God as a metaphor for the natural laws that govern the universe. This is a quote from Albert Einstein in 1954.

"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

If Atheists say "If I don't see it I don't believe it" then does that mean if you don't see a hurricane then it didn't happen at all? and if you say others told you about it but it wasn't on the news then isn't that the same concept as many people tell you there is a God and his son died on a cross but you don't believe it

I am just trying to mak a point please no rude comments

How can non-believers say there is no God when they really can't prove there isn't......you know what I mean.
four people Mark, Mathew, John and Luke
wrote about the same person same stories. without communication
In Egyt there are Heiroglyphics that talk about the parting of the Red sea.... and many other writings and incedents throughout history.
Mary has appeared to people and in the same way...like where I live in New Mexico

I am not trying to put people down I am simply making a point..Please no rude remarks about religions. thanks

An all-powerful, all-knowing God would know beforehand who gets into heaven and who doesn't. So why try and accept him to get saved? He already knows whether he's going to save me or not regardless of what I do. Free will? I daresay not. If your God exists then it is predestined that I should be an atheist. Thereby, he has already condemned me to this supposed 'lake of fire'. Why preach to me to accept him into my heart then?

Let's face it - the top 3% own most of the wealth and are supposedly creating work for the rest. Does this make any sense? I'm not advocating socialism - just wondering what people REALLY think of capitalism.

Where do atheists get morals from without the ten commandments or the bible. The best answer says that they existed before they were written in stone.
I would maintain that an atheist's morals come from this same place.

how come a lot of the christians that answered said really mean things like 'but namely the deafening of your own cold, black coal hearts'and 'Show some backbone', i didn't ask to be mean, i was just saying how i find it hard when people use bible quotes, and they started accusing me of being blackhearted, and besides, i thought it was the christian faith that tells us not to be judgemental, so why did they just judge me like that without even knowing me

When mankind began to spread over the earth and formed into different nations, their history and stories of old would be past down from one generation to another. But as generations past, those stories would change and grow and become exaggerated, etc. So you would eventually have different civilizations believing different things about God- although they would share common themes because they did all originate from the same facts (i.e. stories of a Great Flood).

So God chose a group of people (the Hebrews) to reveal himself to, to keep the real facts straight, etc. In this way, we have the accurate truth being preserved at the same time as different variations of the truth were being passed down and continually morphed.

What do you think about this theory? I'd like to hear from Christians who know their apologetics, as well as the thinking non-believer who does not feel this idea could be plausible and explain why. I hope a get a lot of answers. Thanks!

"God already knows who is going to make it and who isn't, hope you accept him in the near future, please do."

So my question is this: WHY should I accept God if he already knows whether or not I'm going to his fictional hell? Why does anyone need to accept God. By this theory, God made me an atheist.

Thank you for your time. *Tosses cookies into the crowd*

wonderful and powerful and wish you had gone? Especially, when you return the following Sunday, and the Pastor talks about how anointed the service was.

No matter what you believe or don't believe you all treat us horribly. If it wasn't for us slaving 10 to 12 hr a day your lives would be horrible! All I ask is for a little consideration and thought from you people! Bag your trash, use a good sealed lid on your cans, wash out your cans on occasion! My working conditions would make most of you puke!
I could change my job but its what i do, it puts food on my table and puts my kids through school! Just think about what life would be like if no one ever did my job and each and everyone of you had to clean up your own refuse!

alot of people say yes, i believe in God, but believing and accepting Him are two TOTALLY different things.....the bible says that even Satan believes in God, and all his demons, they know there is a God the just refuse to accept Him as the true God. so how many of you out there truly ACCEPT that He died on the cross for YOU, and accept He is coming back? or do you just believe?
