How can all these people be so sure there isn't a God.? What makes you so sure? What makes you any different than believer's. We have the Bible which was written by people whose thoughts were influenced by God, quotes from Jesus Christ himself. Thousands of witnesses that seen Jesus's miracles. You can believe something written on a piece of paper or written inside of a cave thousands of years ago. Why is it so hard to believe there is a God? The bible was written in different time periods, when Gods presence was strong. Woundn't you rather go through life believing there is a God waiting for you after you leave this earth, and die not knowing if there is or isn't. Or go through life without God,not believing in him, and die, and find out there is a God and hell?

Isiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, GOD THE MIGHTY, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.

John 1 He was in the world, and the world was MADE BY HIM, and the world knew him not.

John 8 They said therefore to Him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak to you. The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM.

He also said, I and the Father are one.

Muslims pay attention to these verses. The Koran is wrong about Jesus.

Since it seems like the question gets asked what everyone else thinks of us, I'm giving "US" the opportunity to answer back.

Personally? I can get along with everyone, religious or non-religious, I just wish everyone could understand that our differences are what make life exciting. If we all believed the same way, the world would be quite boring.

And yet people who haven't even read it say its ludicrous. Have anyof you ever read the story of the golden cal fin the quran? Does it not really mean that we make things more complicated than necessary? Can we not just believe that there is a God ( what ever you call him/her/it?) and let others believe as they choose? And if you are an aetheist can we all not agree that it is your choice to do say and that you shouldn't be judged for that choice as it isn't our place?

God is said to have created us. We are suffering now because of our inperfections. Question; why did God give us imperfections?

It's like he created us in the full knowledge that we would do wrong, and yet he punishes us for it anyway. Kinda puts to death the idea that he's "all loving".

Dumb or what?

If you hate Islam and you think Muslims are so wrong in their way of life - Why don't you leave this matter to be judged by your god? Don't you think your god is capable of taking the right judgment?

if God words collected in a book called "Quran". and Muhammad words collected in a book called "Hadith" and if you compare the Quran with Hadith you will find alot of differences, it's absolutly not the same identity. then who sent the Quran?? especially that Muhammad can't even read or write, no way he could read the Bible or the Torah.

It will be a clashes between those who love Truth and Those who do not. A Clashes between those who embraces Truth and walking in the Light and those who loves to do Good & Evil but are walking in darkness as God is not with them.

Yes, Doing Good without God is worse than doing Evil !

That will means at least 90% of you people out there , am I wrong to says that ?

Let's hear the champions of those who lives by the Tree of Knowledge of "GOOD" and Evil; What say yyou ?

My friend and were talking about how Christians have divided over time and have never looked beyond what makes us different from what we believe. He wants to create a group called Faith in Action, which brings Christians together on the very foundation of what Christ asked of us, which was to follow his move in that we must help one another through acts of goodwill in that we put our hard work into something without asking anything in return. A major focus is to eliminate the barriers that divide Christians and the very concept of denominations in order to focus only on why we are Christians in the first place. This group would place focus on a life AGAINST materialism and luxury in favor of how the resources we gain can be used to help others, as well how to help us identify who we are as Christians who live by the teachings of Jesus. This would not be easy and as one who has issues with modern-day Christians, I want to know how one could make a change in how we see ourselves.

The Holy Bible says that if a third testament is written then it is not the word of Jesus or God but from the devil correct? If so, then why do Mormons say their book is the third book and read both the Holy Bible and their book, dismissing what the Holy bible says about that?
If you know please answer, thank you.

Just curious since I got some rather angry reactions to my last question about not wanting people to pray for my sister.

PS I know some Christians would be glad to have people of other faiths pray for them; but I have seen prayer requests here turn somewhat nasty because some Christians didn't want 'devil prayers' being said in the name of a Christian.

Apparently, there is a story about how we all came from one place in the beginning of time, and God seperated us into different religions/languages so that we couldn't go back.
a) do I have it right
b) if so, then are we supposed to learn this one lesson in life: merge, learn from eachother, with open arms and and open hearts or we can't go back?

acording to apple.com. It's origin is unknown, but it's used as a substitution cypher to protect writings (''magical writings from prying eyes'' to quote apple.com).

Is it a simple substitution cypher?

Does one simbol equal ''a'', the next equal ''b'' and so on?

Is it only used in english?

Is it kind of a standard, i mean, out of all the substitution cyphers is it the most commonly used?

Is it specifically wiccan/pagan?

Could you give me a link to the full Theban alphabet? (and if you could please do so)

thanks!

p.s. i'll probably only use it to write in my diary anyway, so none of these answers are crucial to my existence or anything. thanks again.

blessed be

(i'm not wiccan/pagan but i'm looking into it)

I think I am in the appropriate position to respond to his book, mainly because I am agnostic (I don't favor either side). I read SOME of the book, and Dawkins sounds too extreme about his beliefs. He makes it seem as though there is absolutely no possiblity in the world that a God may exist. Furthermore, when he attacks religions he does not take into consideration the answers that some of them have. For instance, evolution does not contradict Judaism because Jewish people believe that evolution had occured, that God placed the material to form life - and evolution took over.

But Dawkins does not take things like that into consideration. I could find way better arguments against God's existence than the ones he proposed...
