A true God is allways visible and hides from no one. A true God takes charge over all that is his. A true God does everything and needs no one else or thing to do for him. Where is the god of the Jews? We want to see him and meet him. Lets look at it logically. Moses was the #1 sorcerer in Egypt. He led the Jews out of Egypt and used his knowledge of sorcery to create a new nation. Everything about the bible revolves around Moses. Moses gave them the 10 commandments. Moses led them to a new land. Moses just used his knowledge or sorcery to lead his people else where. Today what most doctors or scientists practice at that time would be known as sorcery. So where is God?? Oh God where are you hiding. Peek a booo where are you? Are we playing hiding go seeeeeeek? When will the game end?? We and I mean Quatrillions to infinity across the universe would like to meet you. Or are you like the infamous Santa Clause that parents say to there children ""Be bad and Santa bring you no toys"".

Have you visited the open house tour? What did you think of it? Are you a member of that church? What comments do you have about visiting there, generally? Did it change your views or knowledge about that church/religion before and after your visit?

How did early Christians and Jews of Bible times view birthday celebrations?
“The later Hebrews looked on the celebration of birthdays as a part of idolatrous worship, a view which would be abundantly confirmed by what they saw of the common observances associated with these days.” (1Cor 6:9) The Imperial Bible-Dictionary, Vol. I, p. 225.

What is the origin of popular customs associated with birthday celebrations?
“The various customs with which people today celebrate their birthdays have a long history. Their origins lie in the realm of magic and religion (Leviticus 19:26).The customs of offering congratulations, presenting gifts and celebrating—complete with lighted candles—in ancient times were meant to protect the birthday celebrant from the demons and to ensure his security for the coming year. . . Down to the fourth century Christianity rejected the birthday celebration as a pagan custom.” Schwäbische Zeitung (magazine supplement Zeit and Welt), April 3/4, 1981, p. 4.

The infamous number 666 merely referrs to BEASTS the main word used. Now beasts means or referrs to all carbon based life forms. What are Carbon Based Lifeforms. 6 electrons orbit around 6 neutrons tied to 6 protons the scientific definition of what Carbon is and that is the proof, or 666. Man is made of mostly carbon. Meaning if you take any man, woman, or child in the street and chemically break them down into pure elements by weight and volume, carbon is the main element mankind and basically all life on earth is made of. The animals are all made of mainly carbon. Plants are made mainly of carbon. Most life forms are carbon based on this planet. So the bible said ""Who needs to know will know or will find out."", so now you know what 666 is speaking of. Beasts. Men kill men, monkies kill monkies, all of the beasts of this earth kill each other be it over money, land , women, what ever you call it we are all savages is what it truely means. The worst beast is a serial killer.

I know discussion about reicarnation had been cirling on these boards many times before, but i got to have my 2-cents on it. I'll leave out the details on what is "reincarnation" b/c if you don't know what it mean you have no bussiness answering this question. In recent years, the concept of reincarnation has grasp wide attention among Americans. Either it is negative or positive, the idea of reincarnation is opposing to "heaven" or shall i say very different from each other. Perhaps, many of us are brought up with the notion of heaven, which led us to disregard reicarnation in our possibilities. Reincarnation is it good or bad? What harms or good will it have on humanity? Society? Why is it so intriguing for some? Why do some oppose to it as rediculous? Although i am a buddish I am open for disscusion. I seek "truth" and kowldege. Please explain in a logical manner.

From your death, whether believer or not, will come life. Is that not reason enough to embrace your death when it comes? To know that you will live again as millions of entities?

Or is it their nature?
Or a little of both?
How many of you would believe I am out to bash other's beliefs just because so many of the R&S responders do? And really, how many of you would research some of my answers before judging me as a belief basher?

God created man for what purpose? Why not appear before man every so often so that we know he exists? If he is so powerfull and indestructable a true god should appear before man every so often in person. If I was god, I would let them know I existed in person. Where is he. God could never ever be to busy since he is a God. Gods never have to little time, or to little of anything. Where is He? A true God cannot become like man overworked since he is all powerfull. Can a God create imperfections, meaning can a god make mistakes as to make killlers, rapists, terrorists. God knew the future that is biblical. So how can God create imperfections. Mankind is and examples of GODS FAILURE to creaate perfection or is it? Are we perfect killers, rapitsts, terrorists in his eyes?? What is true perfection? A true God is perfect and from him should only flow perfection, for anything else to come from him would mean that he is not a GOD, but a being more advanced than mankind.

Honestly. I choose to follow God. I choose to go to church. I am an intelligent person. I wasn't always a christian. No one programmed me. This was a free choice. So why are we always thought of as naive and brainwashed? I think it is those who are against us that are naive and brainwashed.
