I hear about the french all the time, saying that our country is below them, like they are better than us, I could be wrong, but wasn't it us that help them get rid of the germans, from taking over their country, I know a little something about D-day, I think it took place in their country, as far as I'm concerned, they should have had a little taste of the camps the jews were in, then maybe they would hold us in a higher regard, I just heard on tv that they want to talk down any english, like the word airbag, they want to have it sound more french, they better be dam lucky they have the right to choose, it could be only german they speak. but just like people will do, you do something good for them, then when they get the chance, they will walk all over you, and spit on you. what do you think?

My mom is Mormon and my dad is agnostic. When my mom lived with us, I believed in what she did, but then I investigated it and Christianity and made sure that there was some solid evidence but I won't go there right now... :)

No offence intended, but If God didn't exist, how exactly do you think this world came into being? I'm not thinking about this being a Muslim or a Christian or a Hindu or whatever, for now I'm just a human being who has a brain and who can think logically. So what do you think how come the sun and the moon have been coming up at almost the same time every day for centuries? Scientists have agreed on human body being a tremendous machine that works systematically, how come do you think it was created? just like that ? don't you think there had to be someone to create something so complicated and systematic?

No controversies. I am truly not trying to tell what I believe is the only truth, I don't want anyone, ANYONE, to be hurt. I just want to know what people who don't believe on God think. I just need to know their explanations of how are things the way they are.

I've come to the realization after such a horrific couple of years in my life that if there was a God, such things would not have happened to me, and after pondering some of the events that have happened over the years makes me doubt it even more.

Like how could a God that is so pure and good let the holocaust happen to so many innocent people, or how could suicide bombers be allowed to terminate people so easily, and there are many more, but this is got to be the toughest one of all...how could God himself, allow for the innocent kids of this world be molested, raped, and traumatized by the sickos that exist, and even worse, in our own CHURCHES !!!

Now explain how there is a God, try not to use blind faith, but rather give an actaul event in the last 2000 years that isn't Bible related that we can say without a doubt this is God's doing and why we should worship something that has never appeared! Again...try not to use the Bible as your source, because you were not around then!

I was reading my scriptures last night and came across these verses in the Book of Alma (Book of Mormon) and it made me think about this site.
Alma 10: 26-28
26: For behold, have I testified against your law? Ye do not understand; ye say that I have spoken against your law; but I have not, but I have spoken in favor of your law, to your condemnation.
28: And now it came pass that when Amulek had spoken these words the people cried out against him, saying: Now we know that this man is a child of the devil, for he hath lied unto us; for he hath spoken against our law. And now he says that he has not spoken against it.

Any thoughts for my fellow believers in Alma's words?

Since faith in the sacrifice of Jesus and an individuals acceptance of him as saviour is vital to salvation, does the fact that Mother Teresa lacked faith and doubted Gods' existence indicate that she is suffering in hell though a Catholic saint?

Genesis is an account of the restoration that occurred after the Pleistocene / Holocene mass extinction of life about 12,000 years ago. Modern animals and plants in Genesis were made "after their kind," that is having a DNA structure similar to the prehistoric animals and plants. Man was also made similar in DNA structure to prehistoric man, but was also given the image of God, that is a spiritual nature.

Denying the holy spirit is an unforgivable sin (look up blasphemy challenge on youtube). If Mother Teresa doubted God, is she in hell despite doing so much good?
