They should really learn for themselves as opposed to being followers.. they follow blindly and easily forget that they have killed more people in the name of God than any other religion. Why do they think that learning for yourself is wrong? Science for example, merely learning what's what and why.. why is that negative? I understand that they are getting better and are encouraged (by their leader) to read the Bible for themselves.. but if the Bible has sooo many contradictions and has been revised so many times, why do they insist that's a guide as opposed to a mere book of stories with false morals written and revised by the hands of so many people?

I'm 16 and am a junior in high school. I take almost all AP/honors classes, do ballet, and have a part time job. I'm so stressed by all of this that I don't know what to do! I just feel like crying. Why does God allow me to feel so horrible?

Why is it that every time a wiccan or witch gets on here and asks a question a christian or some other religious bible fanatic gets on here and preaches to them for believing the way we do. The choice is made people. We choose who we are and what we believe. You can't change us just because you believe in a different thing. I like being a witch and believe in magick and I don't appreciate it when all my fellow believers out there get ragged on when they ask questions and get preached at. Get over your religious stuff and leave us to what we believe. It's not satanic and it's actually really good for us. To each his own.

I concede that believers believe in god, which is fine and dandy, but its impossible as a human to not, even for a fraction of a second, entertain the question of where did your god come from.

Now most theists respond with something like, "god is eternal", or "god is everything" which sounds great until you get really honest with yourselves and ask, "is this REALLY a satisfying answer?"

I'm not saying you don't believe it, or that your faith isn't strong, but does it FEEL comfortable? Isn't there a nagging part of you that wants to know how or why your god came about? Or, can you simply squash this question with, "god has always existed" every time you feel it rise, and not feel cheated?

Also, do you think your god is sentient, and if so, wouldn't a god which purposely created other sentient beings also have the capacity to question it's own existence, it's purpose, and perhaps even it's own demise?

Does your god wonder how it came to be, or if it could end itself if it wanted?

After all, "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God."

"Oh, God works through science, through nature."
I don't know if it's just me but I just find this kind of reasoning as pointless.
You say it's god for the sake of belief and nothing more.
If you did follow scientific thinking and reasoning, you'd see that god, even though unprovable, is above 50% improbable.
Scientists work their asses off all day and then comes along this person saying "god did that".

Some atheists choose to just let them be.
But I can't even do that. I just find it that they're not reasoning the right way, and it's frustrating to me becasue it's very clear when you see it!!!

Were it not for this childish conviction that there's an entity who thinks anal sex is a nono, and whose evil doings must be ultimately good, they would be reasonable on a whole new level.
I just hate this moderate, trying to reconcile the god thing with scientific discovery, kind of thinking.

What do you feel about that? I know I might be a bit on the extreme side but...

A Christian told me that the Bible gave the land from the Nile to the Euphrates and they have a divine right to take it away from anyone without compensation.

How can peace be established with a people who think they have a divine right to take your home away without any compensation.

I have argued that having faith is a necessary property for believing in God. I mean what else would allow you to believe in such a thing? The Bible? But to that at face value is to commit circular reasoning. Such as my essay is without error because I say so in my essay.
So must one have faith to believe in God!

Do you know if you have a purpose?

Are you trying to discover what your purpose is?

What was the defining moment for you when you discovered what your purpose is here on Earth?

I understand being religious, but religion is really old. At this point in time, it is just passed down from generation to generation, so the complete explanation of its origin is lost. And forget about the bible, I am talking about the basics of religion. Nowadays, people are just blindly following religion because that is what has been passed down to them. So, do you accept religion, or just assume it is correct?

The afterlife is the promise of Jesus. But what can we do in that afterlife? Things that define happiness are all earth based. Getting married, having a child, making love, just watching your favorite movie. Does heaven have HBO on demand?
Or is heaven a place where people achieve a state of permanent happiness like being constantly high on drugs? To me heaven sounds like an ultimate dream of a junky.
