As best I can figure out there's one of two possibilities. The first one is the one I believe, YES God exists. The second one is no, God doesn't exist. Is the existance of God relegated on whether you believe in Him or not?

Could God exist even though you don't believe in Him? Could the Bible be true even though you don't believe in it? Or is the Bible true because you do believe in it? Or is the existance of God or truth of the Bible based upon our beliefs?

I have been to a couple different kinds throughout life, but it has been sometime since I've been to one. My daughter would like to go and see what it is like and I would like to take her, but I'm not sure where to start. I hate to go someplace that as soon as you walk in they make a big deal about it because what if I don't like it and never come back. I personally don't think you need to go to church to be a christian, but I would like to let my children make the decision for themselves. So any input on how you chose your religion and or church would be greatly appreciated.

Patients with Schizophrenia often have hallucinations. Psychologists have observed that when patients with these symptoms stay in close proximity to eachother so that they can talk freely, they often share the exact same hallucinations after only a short duration of time. It is not unknown for several of these patients to share a similar hallucination but possess no other symptoms. The only reason these people are regarded as insane is due to the fact that they believe something to be there that "apparently" is not. The belief in a god is similar to this: groups of people that believe something to be there that "apparently" is not. Logically, either these patients should be released, or all theists should be institutionalized. Which should it be?

Why are you scared of us? Also why is it hard for you to accept that there are people who just do not believe in a god?

I am just wondering what ppl think. I say my prayers daily(sometimes two or three times in a day), try to do good deeds everytime opportunity presents itself, try to do everything by the book, I think I am a generally nice person who always tries to help someone in need if I am in a position to do so. I DO NOT go to church tho for a number of reasons which I don't have time to type, but I am not against church or those who choose to attend with GOOD intentions. I believe being a church member is a lifestyle not just something you do on Sat or Sun depending on your religion. I have a lot of issues with the term "religion" I think it segregates and sometimes makes ppl think they are better than ppl in another group. I have strong faith in GOD and want to spend my eternity by his side but sometimes I feel there is more I need to do. Any opinions, suggestions, comments? No sarcasm plz!!

Why is it that when the going gets tough people blame God for their mistakes and they say if God is a loving God then He will not throw them into the lake of fire for their sins? Can't people just take responsibility for their actions, I mean God is not to blame because they are disobedient and because they are sinful. God Almighty is a faithful God, He's faultless, perfect and all powerful.
I'm not trying to offend anyone just trying to understand why they justify their actions/sins that way.

My brother is taking post graduate courses and is having a hard time getting the books he needs on tape. The Blind Association furnishes a special type of player for their books. How can he get this player and/or where can he get books recorded to order?
Thanks.

As ages have gone past, religions have risen and fallen (often with their civilisations). Will there ever be no religion, or do humans have to believe in something? If there is no religion, will there be as many conflicts around the world?

I grew up being a Christian (Parents and their parents were christian), but I slowly went away from it. Now, I don't want anyone saying anything stupid, only answer if your Christian, please. Anyways.....if you are christian, can you give me some insight? I want to be Christian, but what if it's not true? I know every christian will say it is because they believe it obviously, but Im lost....anyone give me some proof so I can believe again? I mean, of ALL the religions out there, what makes this one so likely to be so?

I am a 36 year old male, married for 8 years and no children. I have come to a crossroads in myself and my relationship. I love my wife dearly but I am in personal termoil. I am certain now (after a lot of soul searching) that I am a woman trapped in a man's body. I have always had these feelings and I just put them in the back of my mind, hoping that they would go away. They haven't and now I don't know what to do. Should I tell her? I am totally confused on what to do.

Ive decided to believe in one God and reject evolution and science and reason. I am now looking at religions and need help.

In Islam, believing in God alone is never ever ever enough. You absolutely must believe in Muhammad, or you go to hell. You must believe in the Quran, or you go to hell. Belief in God doesnt cut it, that only 1 out of 3, and you need all 3 (like a trinity actually).

Anyway, so, I dont want to go to hell, and since so many Muslims believe in Islam, welllll...Islam must be true....right!!! (I have an IQ of below 90).

Ok, so heres my problem. In order to believe in Muhammad, i must believe that God thinks that owning slaves is excellent conduct for all humans to follow for all time. Why? Cause anything Muhammad did, is considered the perfect example for all Muslims to follow. Now, I have a real problem with this...help! How can I rationalize this?

Also, the Quran says the whole EARTH is like a "carpet spread out". Ehhh. How do I unlearn?
