Earlier today I asked:

What would it take for you not to believe in god?

If you say that nothing would shake your faith, please describe how your faith is different from a cult. Do you have blind faith?

If so also give reasons why you think blind faith is good.

If not please tell why your unshakable faith is not blind faith.

Now most of the respones I got were similar to this:

"Faith is not blind. First you have faith, then you will see proof of it in answered prayers and insight."

My question now is: How do you know which god to put your faith into?

Isn't just assigning these "answered prayers" to any one god a leap of blind faith?

How does one determine which god has better "insight"? There are several religions that I think have "good" messages, how do I choose?

Not everyone who don't agree with your beliefs BASH ppl.
Just because I'm a Christan dose not make me have the right to bash others.and The same go's for non-believers,
we may not agree, but thats your free wiill and mine to do so.

The only reason Christians testify of their faith in they (because of what they believe) have a concern for other Human beings. And we wish you well and that Heaven will be your Home. It's love that motivates us. (please rember we really belive) you may not thats your choice but don't we deserve a choice also?
and I'm sure there are many many good intelligent non-believers and believers alike, I don't judge you, just love you.

Let's not judge everyone by those who are hate mongers who like to disagree with anything. just to get thier jollys.
Everyone even ppl. we don't agree with have the freedom of choice and faith so lets not bash, let's love each other.

See I partied all weekend and I got drunk. I missed church b/c I felt so ashamed b/c I betrayed my religion just to have a good time. Do you think if I pray hard enough He'll forgive me?

Joshua chased down a retreating army in order to slaughter them to the last man, while God chucked hailstones down at them....and kept the sun out so that Joshua could stab fleeing people in the back while it was still light out.

Sometimes when people put up prayer requests on R&S (which they shouldn't, it's solicitation not a question) for something like a driving test or a sick pet, I ask them if instead they would care to pray to God to eradicate malaria. That's because any god should consider someone's driving test of little importance compared to a vile disease that kills an African child every 30 seconds. I wonder what kind of god puts such a disease on Earth in the first place, and I wonder what kind of people think their driving test is more important, but we'll let that go.

Scientists are on the brink of a scheme to eradicate malaria. They aim to release genetically modified mosquitos into the wild which are immune to the malaria parasite and which are better adapted to survive than malarial ones. This technology is grounded on evolutionary principles first established by Darwin and Mendel. Evolutionary theory in practice is about to defeat malaria where prayer has always failed.

Your thoughts?

"Why do you say the bads things people cause are their own fault but then all the good things that we are responsible for are God's blessings?"

This is a 2-part issue:
1>Personally, I don't believe ALL bad things that happen to people are their own fault. A majority is MAN's fault. Things such as illness aren't. I do believe that a majority of the bad things that happen to us are brought on by ourselves or others. For the most part, we can overcome a lot of those issues, by simply making better judgments on how we live our lives. (think of an example yourself)
2>The other part of this (which is seen through the wording) is that the "good things that we are responsible for" proves my first point. If we make better choices with the things God allowed us to discover then we can make this world a better place and help others.

Example: MONEY
Bible says "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil."

Good Choice> Share the wealth.
Bad Choice> Horde the wealth.

And that there are 2 realms....a spiritual and physical. If so, then spirits can roam the earth now, but we just can't see them...right? Only the gifted in sight can see them...if you are one of these people...please contact me.

...Or do you believe in whatever makes sense to you? Do you follow your religion to the T, or do you follow your heart (still making decisions that are morally based, of course)?

When the demon take over me, I have a six packs, nice pecs, and my arms look more toned. I'm skinny and have very little muscles but when demon take over, I change. Why would this happen? Doesn't god want everyone to be in good shape while demon want the opposite?

Episcopal Priests Halt All Weddings

Priests at an Episcopal church in Massachusetts have vowed to stop performing all weddings. The priests at Grace Episcopal Church in Amherst said they would not marry anyone until they can also officially bless same sex unions. They are calling their decision a "holy fast." Other priests around the state are considering doing the same thing. Earlier this year, worldwide Anglican leaders gave U.S. Episcopalians until September 30 to state clearly that they will not authorize blessings of same sex unions.

It seems to me that if God created the universe then he would have also created the concepts of Good and Evil. If this is the case then god cannot be only good as he would have to have a capacity for evil to create it. So if god loves us all, he must also harbour an equal amount of hate - since hate is his creation he would have to possess ultimate hate as well as ultimate good....your thoughts?

The religious people on here are so radical, they want everything THEIR way and condemn people who don't think like them. Spirituality is about angels, kindness, cherishing the Earth, animals, it's all positive. Maybe Yahoo can change that.

My life is so miserable, my boss yelled at me, yesterday for building a decent wall, and he yelled at me for 15 minutes, and it was only my first day on a new shift, that I didn't want. I have to go to work at 5:15 p.m. I have no money, and I have nothing.

I am in $15,000 in debt, from cell phone bill, and credit card debt, and going to Chicago State University, and they are suing me for the money.

The internet don't work at home, and my dad yelled at me all the time, and the worst part I can't even see my face, I have no clue to find out what my face really looks like.

I am suffering people, and it is time for me to move on, and I am going to be homeless next year. There is no reason for me to live, none whatsoever.

Can someone tell me what my face looks like to them?
