Then where did god come/what created him/her/it?

And, after you give me the wonderfully inadequate "god was always there," please answer the following as well. If it makes sense for god to have always been there, then why does it not make sense for the universe to have always been there? In other words, if god doesn't need a creator, why should the universe? Or, could one perhaps say that the universe is god?

(Note: If you can provide a less woefully inadequate answer to the first question, the others may not apply to you. Though, seeing the kinds of questions I pose, you may be able to anticipate a few that I might respond with and answer those as well.)

but i say i did. who's right? i suppose i can have a debate with god and we can settle this. since nobody can prove i didn't it's my word against his. being that he is not bound by time, finding the time to debate me should be no problem for him. if he doesn't show i'm with the winner.

I believe we are all born sinless and yet some people want to live life having this guilt of never being good enough, my question is why. Try to answer this logically and refrain from quoting from that book which man wrote.

Social order people from their birth, like if you are born to a high caste you are allowed to have special standards and low caste you must have the low cast jobs like plumbing and cleaning what ever your education level. Is it true?

I have run across many Christians who say this part is symbolic and that is literal in the bible, couldn't the whole Jesus story be just another symbolic part which was doctored up a bit.

What follows “Middle”? Has our language doomed us to end our civilization because of lables? Or, are we connected to the greater Being (or interconnected to each other) causing us to lable 1000’s as “Middle” thereby forcing our “End” here and now?

What will happen if civilization as we know it lasts another 10,000 years … is calling the years 1000-1800 “Middle-Ages” appropriate?

What happen to you (no one personally pointed out)? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? So many people seem angry on here today criticizing and everything else... we all have different beliefs and to be honest none of us can prove our cases 100% fact in the eye of Man. As a Christian i see dumbfounded questions on here too, but if you don't know the answer don't try to bring the person down, but just research and try to find the answer out for yourself. God wants us to Love and respect everyone. Yes as Christians we are humans too, but if you get upset clear your head a few minutes and be that light to the world that God wants you to be =)

Remember: There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle

God Bless

I will look to other faiths as these people have helped me to conclude that they have completely lost their minds.

Do they do this to you too?

The definition of an Atheist is one who claims "there is no God" But to make an absolute statement you must have absolute knowledge.
Does the atheist know how many grains of sand make up the sea shores of the world? No. How about the amount of hairs on their forearm, NO
Thomas Edison said that we don't know 1% of ANYTHING in the universe. But lets say I give any atheist the benefit of having a whopping 25% knowledge of EVERYTHING in the universe, to have 100% knowledge you would know what was inand under every rock inthe universe. I then ask, is it possible that ample evidence for the existence of God exists in the other 75% knowledge you just do not know about yet??
If you are HONEST you are FORCED to say...yes. (because you do not have all knowledge) Therefore the atheist cannot, by the very definition, exist. You're agnostic.
So you must state, "With the limited knowledge I currently have, I believe there is no God." This makes you an agnostic. Atheist, you do not exist.
