Religion & Spirituality - 10 June 2006

I need to know so I can get tips and stuff on how to write like it.

“Mom, I’m back,” I called, walking into the house. Patrick closed the front door behind him, adjusting his book bag strap. There was a faint reply from one of the other rooms, and I walked into the kitchen, going to the fridge first. “Soda?”

“Sure,” Patrick said. I grabbed two cans for us and headed up the stairs mindful that my dad wouldn’t be home for awhile. That was good, considering he always brought up some ridiculous comment that suggested Patrick and I were an ‘item’. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. As cliché as it sounds, I view Patrick as some sort of sibling, or something like that. It’s not a sibling thing really, but I mean to say that we have nothing going. Never have, never will. I know he feels the same, though there was a brief incident back in our sophomore year. He came up with a whole stuttering speech about how he felt something more than friendship. It all just made me laugh, which

I think I do. It makes sense, especially since the bible was mistranslated to say eternal in a lot of passages instead of temporary.

If god created heaven, hell, earth etc then who created god...........and please dont tell me that it just pop up one day all by itself..........
I am a athiest and I get told by Christains all the time that god created, heaven, earth, hell etc. In the same manner you christains should at least be able to tell us athiests as to who created god and i dont mean jesus but your father in heaven who sent god down to earth. If the father in Heaven is the "main man" why do you all pray to Jesus who you say was born of a virgin..........(this is also very funny. I will post another question in regards to this as well later)..............

How you can have faith in god when there is no reassurance? We need to look into our hearts isnt an answer. Why do we live our lives by some set of rules that doesnt really make sense any more? Do you believe that the bible was something like a law book except instead of punishment it promised reward? If Christ is real, why are there so many other religions?

Shouldn't all things be done to edifying, or for spiritual growth? (1 Cor. 14:26)

I have come on boards like this before answering questions against Christianity for apologetics but know people don't really listen anyway. What makes people reconsider is seeing God's love in you, and they can't see that over a computer.

All that the debate does for me anyway is get me annoyed and focused on head knowledge rather then growing in my relationships with God and others or becoming more like Christ.

So what's the point in being on boards like this, or at least for this section?

I am a real spiritual person and I was visualizing. All my goals and plans in my mind were already accomplished. It would be very hard for me to fulfill anything else because everything I wanted I had and would just living like what next? Which brought me to the conclusion that when we accomplish things no matter if we conquered the world, there will always be something else we are hungry for in life. This is why I now know what it means to find Jesus Christ in your life, he is eternal happiness(Serene state of mind). I just wanted to know if Anybody feels the same way. If you had everything would you still not be satisfied with life?

We ask ourselves daily what came first The Osterich or the Egg (they came from Africa they were here before chickens) and to develop it into the perspective of "Creation vs. Naturalization" means to ask "What came first GOD or The UNIVERSE?" right? We spend endless hours debating the Bible-Koran-and ultimately "In The Beginning.." The religious type need no proof they have their faith to guide them-well that and their fear that they will burn for eternity if they deny THEIR God. The scientific type uses tools and knowledge passed from mankind in his pursuit of "Where did we come from?" and we all want the truth. I will take credit for being the genius to finally figure out THE TRUTH and we can all go home and laugh about it and you can believe which ever side you want but ultimately be thankful that you are alive and an American where because of OUR system of Justice and Freedom of thinking allowed me to tell you this-The Big Bang was God being slapped on the behind by Mother Nature!
