I mean, why would you believe something and base your whole entire life on it when you can't even explain half of it and have to resort to "God works in mysterious ways"? Don't you think if he was really all-powerful he'd give you knowledge so you don't appear clueless to those you are trying to teach about God?

The theist's mental chain... simplified:

#1. Failure to understand the world.
#2. Assuming a conscious creator for the world.
#3. Failure to understand the creator.
#4............

Error?

Ockham's Razor would suggest skipping the unnecessary steps and just accepting a failure to understand the world in the first place..... It is, afterall, far too vast and complex for a mere simpleton to comprehend.

On the flipside... if they are clearly smart enough to know that a god made it.... then by the same means they should be equally smart enough to figure out the god's motives for making it (or if they can't do that... they could just make up a motive... like they did with the rest).

When will the hatred against them cease and the injustice that they recieve daily stop? How can the violence against them stop and how soon? How many of them have to die before we stop the killing of them? What do we have to do to stop the prejudice against them? Especially against those other barbarians, who will stop it first?

In the Bible it states that God created the Earth in 7 days.

However it is becoming more and more suggested that the 'days' being referred to, needn't be 24 hours like we expect, and could in fact be an indeterminate period of time much longer than that.

I say "it is becoming more and more suggested" because 10 years ago, I hadn't heard anyone compromise on the literal translation of the bible like that before.
Today however, I find it cropping up quite often - that genesis needn't be a literal translation and that the 'days' being referred to could be thousands of years.

In which case, does it look like there are going to be any further compromises on what to believe as time goes on?
A compromise here or there to stop it alienating a growing number of people?

Jesus said, "I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Mt. 18.3

Jesus said, "It is from within, from men's hearts, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a man unclean." Mk. 7.21-23

Jesus said, "I give you a new commandment: love one another; just as I have loved you, you also must love one another. By this love you have for one another, everyone will know that you are my disciples." Jn. 13.34-35

Perfection may not be required by striving towards self correction is!

So if we condemn Atheists or gays, In what ways are we exhibhiting Love? If we dont Love the way Jesus Christ wanted us to Love, can he still be considered a Saviour?

What might that "singularity" be?

I'm intrested what you have to say and what your own thoughts are.

Personally, I believe that everything was perfect and that singularity is perfection. But, somehow that perfection had to be broken if it were to explode. Result: philosophers came up with the best way they could to understand this: religion. This has lead me to think that maybe religion is just a simple form of science.

Create a new account. Pose some questions to everyone as a theist. Be serious, or be a troll, or whatever, but look at the atheist's answers. Gain a perspective on ourselves.

Not intending to pick on them, but they are the most prominent ones I've noticed. A question will be posted like 'For christians.......' and it seems half the answers are from athiests rediculing the questioner. Same goes for questions directed at athiests, many of the answers are christians screaming their own beliefs. I'm assuming there are examples from every view point. My question is, why do you feel the need to answer a question that isn't directed at you?

I was born into a religion known as Christianity to most people. Yet I have my doubts whether God exist or not. I try to be open minded on people's view on religions, but won't follow them.

If he really ever intended man to live in paradise forever, he never would have put a forbidden tree where men without knowledge of good and evil could get their hands on it. In addition, he never would have created a place that WASN'T paradise.

When you fix dinner, do you make the majority of it crap that you and your family won't eat, or do you simply make what you want them to eat?

Someone told me a story where this super-being exists that you can't look at or you'll die and made two people out of clay, then those two people had babies who populated the world.
Then this being killed everything on the planet except for ONE family, only a few thousand years ago.

Then those people repopulated the earth and this being picked a small club of people to be His favorites and then did all kinds of miracles and then had his people kill buttloads of other people over and over again (even though there's no history of any of this)

Then "God" (who is three people in one) sent one of himself to change everything again and so he could defeat Satan and rescue everybody in the world

they told me to use this incantation to summon this God, but I just didn't feel or see anything.

And the really scary part is that he told me that if I didn't believe this story, I'd die and burn forever!
Is this like one of those chain-mail scam things?

Who would believe this stuff?

Often when I ask a Bible question and one comes in to bash on us, I go to their open questions and either they have them blocked or resolve them immediately , could that be they don't want us to have the same opportunity as they do to jump in
and express our opinion in their area ??? just curious as I have been checking this for months and it APPEARS that way to me but I am only one person
