I mean why couldn't he have just done it without letting people torture him? Who's he trying to impress? I’m not impressed I just think he was stupid. Well I think he isn’t real but you know.

Everything God does is always wrong. God's actions are wicked. Find me verse where God does not change his mind with another verse. Better yet, find me a verse that will prove to me God is Good, not by mouth, but by action. *Remember a creation of sorrow does not count as good.

This is my last question for the day. I have always wondered how unpredictable life can be. When I was young, I used to think my life is invincible that I will never get into accidents, or suffer from disease and live healthy till 80 or so.
But soon I realized the unpredictable nature of life with several near-death expereinces. In one occassion, I almost drowned to death and in another, I almost got hit by a car while riding bicycle. Those incidents made me think about life from different perspective.
I sometimes read on obituary section of newspaper about people who died from heart attack, car accidents, or illnesses. It is especially sad to read when the victim is young person with bright future ahead. I ask God why He chose to end that person's life when his/her life was barely starting and had so much potential for future.
Has anyone thought about the unpredictable nature of life? Can you share some of ur insights or thoughts with me?

...I try to get it to go, but it just sits and idles. Every once in a while a light comes on that says 'praying for movement'. Should I just scrap it, and get an AMC (Agnostic Motor Company). I hear they travel under their own power. I just have to drive it.

Have you ever tried not praying, not believing God exists, or anything else to give non belief a chance?

Or, read/studied anything that supports non belief?

If not, why not?

God is the entity that is supposed to tell us how we came to be. Since Darwin succeeded in doing that , shouldnt we call him God?

By the way, scientific american's new issue is dedicated entirely to "how man became man". Get educated and read it.

NOW, ALL THOSE WHO ARE SCARED OF EVOLUTION AND HAS NEVER STUDIED IT IN ANY DEPTH, COMMENCE YOUR ATTACK.

God doesn't make mistakes, so Lucifer's influence on Eve had to be intentional and everything which followed. For man was a creation of God, and God does not make mistakes. To say that we created the mistake is to say, God created a mistake. The cycle is endless, but none of God's actions ever proves God is good nor that God is love.

Agnostic here not trying to convert anyone.
I hear a lot of people in my life who say they believe in God. They base their believes primarily on a book, and from what I can tell is an expirience that I am not sure if it is God or a hallucanation.
People say they pray, yet if someone prays to the other guy's God it becomes a coincidence. One woman told me she prayed to Jesus and got a new car.
What causes this in people. What if that same woman were born in my home. And I taught her the gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. If she had a hallocentic expirience would she attribute it to His Noodly Appendage. Would she pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster and get a new car.
Is authentic belief in God or the Flying Spaghetti Monster possible?

I've been defending Christians saying I believe there are some wierdos but mainly it can be authentic. I have only read agnostics defend an authentic belief in a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Why?

Why do Christians not defend Pastafarians ever?

Say you are a Christian. You were born into a Christian family and you kind of took the fact that you were a Christian for granted. One day you decided that you want reallu look into the Bible so you could be a better Christian and be able to spread the word better. So you read the whole Bible. After finishing you say to yourself "Alot of things don't add up". Then you say that you don't believe anymore. You die and you were wrong so you go to Hell. Does it make sense that you were going to go to Heaven before but after reading scripture and searching for truth you become worse and go to Hell instead. In life it only makes sense that we are moving foward, not backwards. This same story could be applied for athiest or any other religions. I focused on Christianity becuase there the one with a Heaven and Hell. Another thing is why don't we just kill off all Christians before they change there mind? Then we would save them from damning themselves. You don't have to answer last question.

I am Apostolic, was raised in the Apostolic church, but lately I just feel like I dont belong there, and I do know from my friend that the Church of Christ is almost exact opposite in beliefs.

Has anyone been to both churches , and what do you think about each.

I haven't been to church much in the last month, and now everyone and their brother is calling me wondering where I am at.

I like the Apostolic church, dont get me wrong, just dont feel like I belong there anymore.

I am to the point now I dont know what to do. Stay where I am or find somthing new.

When you consider all the sperm and all the eggs that never formed you but could have done and all the sperm and egg cells that could have formed your ancestors all the way back to the beginning of life you are grotesquely lucky to be alive and not an entirely different person. You have on average 75 years in this universe what are you going to do with it? Are you going to use it wisely and try and learn more about the universe you live in, in order to try and make it better for people in the future, or are you going to waste it sitting in a corner talking to your self in the hope of something better after those 75 years are up which probably isn't real anyway? The choice is up to you, which will it be?

I know that there's no such thing as Hell or the boogie man but I just want to know what a religious person would say.

I was raised accepting that God existed and was good and whatnot, but even then I never bought into creationism or anything crazy like that. So around age 15 I realized that while I prayed every once in awhile and wanted to see loved ones again, it all just felt like empty gestures that would have been just as useful directed towards Merlin. So I decided that I'd be honest with myself and stop pretending to believe for heaven. So I was atheist for awhile but then learned about Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha in a history class and it was love at first sight. So now I'm an atheist/buddhist and act on what the Buddha said about never following anything you haven't seen evidence for yourself, and I've never seen anything worthwhile in God's favor, and also hold the buddhist belief that all gods and religion are wishful thinking and delusion.

Continued in details.
