All those tribulations I understand they will be awful. People getting shot for steeling a turnop out of someones field. Dont you think it would be best just to die a normal death and skip the end times all together. BB

1. Evolution is a fact because we're here

2. The proof that we came from monkeys is human's existence

3. I know God is fake because I feel it in my heart

4. Christians have to be evil because they need a book to tell them not to be evil

5. How could you believe in God? IT'S JUST A THEORY
(This is what Christians say about evolution)

6. You may not believe in the tooth fairy but she still loves you

7. I know the tooth fairy's real. Someone smacked me in the mouth and my teeth didn't fall out. She saved me

It's easy to be flippant and say you won't care because god will make everything bearable, but unless you are fond of mind-control, there will be memories. There will be the knowledge that people you loved and cared for, people who may have been exceptional, kind compassionate human beings in life will forever be suffering.

Some of you claim you won't care. Some of you are so certain that the intoxicating effects of heaven and the potency of being with your maker will alleviate the sorrow you'd normally feel, but lets be honest... this would be a sham. A self-deception. A way to rationalize an ugly truth about your religion.

A truly evolved person wouldn't deceive themselves like this.

A truly evolved creator wouldn't anesthetize its creations like this.

What an interesting place this heaven... where you go to give up who and what you are.

That is, isn't it more mystical and silly to think that everything just BOOMED into existence than it is to think there was some intellectual design and creator?

I mean, come on! It's not like, BOOM! and we have a supercomputer.

It seems more like an easy way out to say "God doesn't exist" than it is saying that things can happen at random (i.e. the universe).



You can't prove the existence of nothing, can you?

I'm looking for a LDS perspective on whether on the "The History of the Church" by Joseph Smith is considered doctrine or scripture or something else by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That's it. I'm not interested in general views on the Church, just on this specific question.

In times of loss, some will say, "It's all part of God's plan." I don't think I believe this anymore. Why would He need a plan?

Im american.
I was taught a pre trib, but i looked at the bible, and studied it, not 1 true prophet believes in a pre trib rapture.

Its going to be worse then ww2 and the holocost combined. Jesus said it will be the worst time mankind has ever seen.

Did you hear about HAARP? These mind control waves they inflect tourtue via satelittes and/OR Via mark of the beast?

They make u kill people who dont have the mark, or u be toruted and drop dead.

Patriot act 2, false flags, 911 inside jobs, now they can come into your homes and exucute you.

There going to round people up, and touture them all tied up, and then chop ur head off, after you watch it happen to other people. ww3, 3 billion dead

I think The Mark will look like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IAO-logo.png

Were going to starve, econmic collpase, neighbors trying to kill u, no law, no order, no rules, police will kill christians.

It is much worse then that, im outta room, but u get the idea, im scared

I've seen people attack christians for voting "no" on homosexual marriage and abortion and other things moral related time after time, angry that christians are simply voting their beliefs just like the people who don't agree. Alot will say christians are trying to control people lives who they sleep with ect.

But why is it so wrong for a Christian to vote for what they believe and not others?

Would you ever consider putting you're conscious on the backburner while voting for things?

Why do you think christians should?

I dont want any hate rants on how christians are stupid blah blah. I just want geniune answers from genuine people?

Do you think christians, or anyone else for that matter should(for the sake of their dignity) vote against their beliefs and for someone elses belief that they dont believe in?

People who go the evolution route seem to assume that we do nto believe that dinosaurs existed.

I believe they exsisted..I believe there are still some around.

The Bible mentions dinosaurs.

But I a curious, is it thought that we do not know that dinos were real?

Here's the statement

"They were brainwashed early on into not to think critically about things they don't understand....ask no question, pray away to the great mythical sky marshal and if things don't work out it's still your fault for not praying enough"

Basically it's a collection of bones, or "fossil record" whatever. I mean, all you do is theorize it with bones. If a T-Rex femur or a Peking Man skull had something like ‘I AM REAL’ carved into it, maybe then I’d be more likely to believe in evolution.

comments?

These are facts

Fossils - the order can be determined by stratification alone (no radiological dating) it is unarguable and life started simple and got more complex.
* Anatomical similarities between species.
* Chemical similarities between species.
* Mitochondrial DNA regressive studies. - This comes only from your mother and the only changes to it are through mutations. These mutations occur at a known rate, and converge world wide 150,000 years ago give or take. If Eve (6000 years ago) was the only female, it would be almost identical world wide. It is not. The flood gives a second bottleneck that matches the facts even less well.
* Geographic distribution of related species. Meaning related species are usually near each other.
* Wisdom Teeth - there isn't room on your jaw for them anymore.
* Your little toe - totally useless. Nice intelligent design here.
* Your appendix - totally useless now but it does digest cellulose in other species.

We are in human bodies, limited by our senses and ability to comprehend. Think of a cat trying to do algebra- it is beyond their physical capability. So what makes any human think they could possible comprehend the Universe, God, or whatever you want to call it? While we are in these bodies they limit us a lot.

skeptics feel the way they do because they have earnestly approached god and the possibilities of his existence.

christians love to portray them all as sinfully choosing, in hateful ignorance, to attack the concept of god and objective morality.
Many mistakenly say that skeptics only want to defeat religion so that they can do the things that religion prohibits.

It makes no sense how christians approach the idea of why these people are in dissent.

people attack the bible and its reasoning because they love humans and they believe in morality.

I know christians here think that you have effective, competent apologetics to all skeptic questions, but the truth is, at best, many things are VERY contentious. the fact that so many things in the bible need apologetical answers is also an issue.
