I think if you believe in the Christian God, it is impossible for free will to exist. A Christian would say: "accept or deny Christ, that's free will." But I say if God is real, the Bible is true. And if the Bible is true, it is right in stating that God is "all seeing and all knowing," therefore he would know whether you are going to heaven or hell: knowing your fate, if you will. This would mean that even if I tried to commit an act of free will, it would never be possible (such as saying I will drive to the store today, yet when I'm on the road, I decide to swerve into oncoming traffic for no reason), because I was meant to do it all along. It is the idea of "what if" and "I wonder" thoughts being what determine what will truly happen. We don't know what will happen. When we speak to someone in person, we are both seeing each other at the furthest moments in our lives. Actions that we perform in these moments are pre-decided. We aren't in control. We are pointless. Your thoughts?

So if a person is saved, then later in life goes out and rapes and kills a whole bunch of people. Is that person still going to heaven? I want to get other peoples opinion on this because I don't believe it.

My landlord just sent out a new lease, on it regarding Megans Law, that they will NOT be responsible for doing background checks, it is up to the tenant to pick up a copy of sex offenders if they want to continue to live here. We have lots of kids here, there are two childmolesters in this park, both are charged with having sex with a child under 14. I have lived here 5 years and some people have lived here 20 years.

I have been looking through your version of the Bible and I am curious if you interpret the following verses to mean Jesus created all things?

Colossians 1:15-17
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,

You know, the ones who have better things to do than disprove beliefs that they don't believe in on an Internet message board.

My parents were catholic and forced me to go to church every sunday morning. I had to go to bible school too. I hated it. Church was boring and bible school took time I would have rather used playing with friends.

I don't remember ever believing in God when I was younger. Maybe I did, but don't remember.

The reason I don't believe now is because 1) there is no proof that any god exists and 2) all the evil that has been done (and continues to be done) in the name of religion, and 3) science is the best tool to explain reality.

Could it be that the resentment I felt with being forced to go to church started a chain of events that caused me to become atheist?

I have a friend of a friend whose parents were extremely religious. When they found out he was atheist, they kicked him out at age 18 and wanted nothing to do with him. He had to work and pay for college all by himself.

If I were to write down a story about a magician who was a little crazy- and embellish it a whole lot and then claim that hundreds of witnesses saw it too - and put that in my story, and then get three other people to write the exact same story in a kind of competition - then later, a man who never even knew my main character would also be kinda crazy and get the idea that this story should be really believed -

If all the original writings of my stories were lost, but some copies were found and then a big religious group got them and selected the "best" parts and then threw out over 60% of other accounts within the story and then added to them,

Would that make my story really become true?

I want to know if you have any extra ideas for me to use. I'm already going to wear white tights, put on pink make-up, curl my hair and put a bow in it, and put my candy in a basket with a spider tied to it. Thanks!

Their claim is that the founders of The Watchtower only used the Bible as their source for doctrine, etc...

While the whole time their Bible was only a few books chosen out of hundreds from the same era, by Catholics who wanted it all to seem to fit into a certain context?

Since the Bible is wholly unreliable as History and truth, any religion based on it must also be unreliable.

So, I'm having a bunch of people over here Tues., Wed. and Thursday. 30 people with 10 people each night as DD in case we need drivers. We're gonna watch a bunch of "scary" movies. The quotes are because none of us actually get scared lol. Anyway, we've got the Halloween series, the Saw series, the Friday the 13th series and the A Nightmare on Elm Street series. I'm not sure if that's enough or too much for three days. BTW, we're including Freddy vs. Jason. Each movie is about an hour and a half long. Some are way more. 29x1.5/3=14.5 We might be able to add one more movie. What do you all think? Should we add one more, lose one or two or leave it as it is set? Thanks in advance.
