OK you don't believe in god. But the majority human sense of morality comes from religion even if it was human fabrication. Yes, there are religious wars but in times of peace would not the absence of religious morals cause anarchy. There is crime but there is also majority of good people who donot commit crime because of their own sense of religious morality which stops them first not because of law. Law enforcement reaches after the crime is commited. Our laws of not to kill, steal etc have some religious background. How can human society exist in the complete absence of religion? A lot of laws would have to be struck out for nonbelievers! There are some sick ppl out there.. would you be willing to tolerate cannibalism reverting to nature survival of the fittest? Even if god is an illusion why remove the placebo effect. It won't work with all knowing the absence of god!

If god created man in his own image, then we must assume 2 things. 1) god is good 2) god is evil. Man is both good and evil and becasue god created man in his own image, god is good and evil. Don't forget what it says in Genesis about god flooding the earth. He murdered everyone on the planet excepth NOAH. That sounds pretty evil to me. How bout you?

Would you take a bullet for someone else and their belief? If your friend said " I believe in xxx" and someone wanted to kill him/her for their belief, would you give your life for them?

Why does the devil hate God, it doesn't make sense. What does Satan see that we don't. There has to be something God doesn't want us to know.

I wake up in the middle of the night with a desire to learn more about God. I feel his presence all the time. I feel a drawing toward Healing Ministry. How do you prepare for such a ministry? Please keep me in your prayers that I will continue to be lead by God and his Word.

Has anyone ever used tarot cards and had them turn out to be true, good or bad?

Rather than god??????? That way no position or action could be defended by saying, "god said so" Muslims say god is on their side, christians on theirs.

If we practice "good" and accepted everything for no reason other than it is, the world would be a much better place.

Would you take a bullet for what you believe in? If someone pointed a gun at you and told you to remounce what you believe in, would you renounce or would you choose to die?

From what I've heard, an atheist is someone who says that there is no God. Right? But isn't that a universal statement? It's like saying, "There is no gold in China." But to say that, you have to look everywhere in China, under every rock, in every house, in every chinaman's mouth...And THEN you can say there is no gold in China if you find that to be true. To say that there is no God would mean that you have searched everywhere for God, and have found Him to not be anywhere, or that there is no evidence for Him. No man has done that. So if you're an atheist, you're not really, you're an agnostic, right? Which means that you don't know if there's a God or not. So shouldn't that mean that you should be more open to people who are seeking to give answers, and to really research and see if any of those answers are true? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Holy books instruct us to kill people for working on the wrong day (Exodus 31:15), or because they're homosexual (Leviticus 20:13), and millions believe these are the words of God, so is it possible that religions inherently breed violence, or is it just some religions, or do they only do so if people really take their religions seriously? Most people would condemn a person who said these things, so why do they worship gods who say them?

Thoughtful answers, please.

OK, they may not have to accept jesus, but while were on the topic, where do animals go when they die, and how?

I mean in christian theory, you need christ in your heart to go to heaven otherwise you go to hell right?

Now if you hate nor don't beileve in him,then this question is not for you.Why when people say that this man/woman"is my everything" God is your everything.You put the one you love second.God should always come first,thats what my grandma taught me,she was a very wise woman.And I just wanna thank god for helping me see.Im still a bit blind but I will see in no time.I'm not blind for those people who don't understand the metaphor I just said.It just means im understanding him more and more everyday.

I believe that our moral code arose from survival needs of small tribes. An example being that murder is wrong, is because it decreases the tribes numbers and weakens the tribe.
From this arose mythology and religion. I just wonder, with todays knowledge, why do people still have belief in gods and i wonder how long it will take before humanity forgets about them altogether.

"I wonder how many people will be humping His leg, the day of salvation, begging Him, to forgive?
I wonder how many He will simply shake His leg and you stop humping?" I thought this deserved some attention. Any thoughts?

just a funny thought.

lol

Have a good weekend.
