I mean after all, if atheism isn't a religion, then why are you always in the religion category on here?

Yes I believe in God, I bellieve Jesus died for my sins, But, I dont understand, one person dies at 16, another 23 and so on, it keeps going, this person dies and 104. so this person has 104 years to learn and a chance to hear the word of God. But this 16 year old any gets 16 years and maybe heard bits and peaces, that can go for the 23 year old also. where is the fairness in that? not to mention the different ways people are raised. I was not raised in a Christian home, in no way. maybe that is why I can question what I am reading. please dont tell me to read the Bible, I have, many times and I still do. yes its a great book to teach and live by. you tell me the Bible talks about Hell over and over again, yes it does, but what is that town called, geneva? or something like that, isnt that the word they Got hell from? isnt that a town where they burned Babies and made God mad? if I remember right? Hell comes from many different words really that was translated into Hell because they

And don't you think when they find GOD the search is finally over?

We are a society that has so much, people have thought if I only find that ideal job, that ideal spouse, the children I wanted nice friends my search will finally be over, BUT WHAT HAPPENED???

People are still on that never ending search, will they ever realize the search ends with GOD> he is the ALPHA and the OMEGA and we are living in temporary quarters with that PERFECT HOUSE that is being prepared for us where all search is over and completion is the key to every question we ever had is answered and fullfilled>
What do you think?

Let's assume for a minute there's a God.
Why can't He lie?
Let's just put His assumed qualities aside for a moment for, He just could have made it all up, all part of His secret evil scheme. Along with the Bible and other ways to get to men.
Can you answer without resourcing to your Bible or to your personal experiences, since all of this could just be part of His charade, His farse? Remeber His own son's performance could also be part of His act.

This is for people who do not believe in a god (including agnostics)

Does everyone that knows you know your stance on God?

Elder Boyd K Packer said that he felt the feminist movement, the gay/lesbian movement, and the intellectual movement were a threat to the church. Do you agree with him? Why or why not.

One of the doctrines of the Mormon church states that Mormon men, after they die, will inhabit their own planet and, along with their many wives, will produce numerous spiritual children. When this spiritual family becomes large enough, the father will be given the power to create another world (or earth) for those children, both male and female, and they will be sent to that earth in order to learn the difference between good and evil, learn and follow the teachings of the Mormon religion, and also produce children with "temporal" (or earthly) bodies in which the spiritual children from the father's previous world will enter (in the case of this earth, the number of spiritual children already exceeds many billions). These earthly children (males) must then follow the doctrines of the Mormon church so they also will become gods over their own planets when they die. It is through this progression that the Mormons teach how Adam was born on another planet and then came to this earth.

Is there a test, so I can know what I am, if I am any of these.
I am not into labels but would like to know. Also if there are others that I need to know.
Thank you for your time in this.

I think theists, in particular Christians, can do quite a lot. All they have to do is stop meddling in politics, stop hindering scientific research, stop teaching children anti-knowledge (creation nonsense), stop assuming their morals are better than someone else’s…well, it’s a long list but it all comes down to Christians giving up some of their influence.

But atheists don’t have much influence, political or otherwise, so there’s virtually none to give up. And all atheists want is for children to be taught the truth, truth that is proven with evidence. Maybe some atheists could be a little less arrogant, but that’s all I can think of.

what I need is a bible that is not contradicting, sorry, my spelling sucks. I have seen spirits and weird things since I was a very little girl, I have had dreams come true all my life. yet, the Bible says that I will go to hell for a gift that God chose to give me? does that make sence? no it doesnt. My daughter and my son have this Gift. Yes I believe bthat rapist, murderers and child beaters should have a place called Hell, but people who have lived a great life, doing for others and all in all very good people, would go to a place with them, is just wrong. I have tried to believe it, come to terms with it, and I cant, its just plain wrong. If I am taking chances with my soul then so be it, its the way I feel, and if God is cruel enough to send me to hell for loving and caring about people, then I guess I am going to Hell, if there is one. who else feels this way?

Im looking for more than just "Oh I only report haters" or "I only report people who make inane remarks". Be specific, define what a hater is to you an give an example. Dont worry, I am huge on free speech so I wont report you for any language used in any example.

Also, would you like to see your vision of speech made universal, or is it not a wise enough policy to be applied outside your world?

Yesterday I asked the forum if they thought that their religious leader was infallible.
Everyone who answered said the same thing. THAT THEIR RELIGIOUS LEADER WAS HUMAN AND FALLIBLE

Here's the Questions:
1. Then why do you demand infallibility from Joseph Smith and the Current Mormon Church Leaders?

2. How do you know that the stories your religious leaders and Anti- Mormon websites have told you about Mormons are not blatant, ignorant, lies?

Faith gives many people the strength to get through hard times, but I also gives many people incentive to commit horrible acts (eg. witch burnings, the Holocaust, the 9/11 attacks, etc.).

So how do we know if we have "good" faith instead of "bad" faith? Do we have to have faith in faith?

Isn't it better to serve a God that gave his life for you, instead of a god that demands you give your life for him?

Why would anybody want to serve a god that has to promise virgins to get you to do something for him?

Why would women follow a god that uses them for bait to get men to do what he wants?

Why would women follow a god that promises them nothing aas far as I can tell except slavery as a virgin?
