Yes?
Than haw fortune-tellers can c our future; things, events we get 2 know sometimes in 5, 10 years time? They even can tell us haw and when we going to die.
If one hasn’t been born in certain family, in certain city, in certain time, in certain area... he would think, behave, live life differently. He would be more kind..or less, more emotionally strong, less artistic... Because every little thing happen with us change out way of thinking, character, behaviour, so we can't say that what we are - is pure we and what we choose – entirely our choice or its just bits and pieces of films, books, friends lives, family and teacher lessons...
Say if 1 was more mentally, physically stronger from birth and had parents who were kinder, more clever, more rich, better educated friends (we cant choose these)...he would have become better person without as much sins in his life. And after death would go to heaven (or smth). Do we really choose our lives? No? Then why do we "go" to heaven or hell after death because of some circumstances which make us do things not choose them?

And the universe by way of the Big Bang Theory or Nebular Theory?

I have been a Christian all of my life. Recently, I have found that a "sin" has been haunting me. This "sin" has actually been what removed the veil from my eyes and allowed me to see that Christians have brainwashed themselves with the thought of a God. Their own emotional high that they experience at the altar is to them a oneness with God, when in actuality I have come to think that it is all in the head. Do they not experience a similar feeling when they kiss who they love? Is that God too? Or is every emotion of God? The question is, is God (or Allah or Buddha or any other of the MANY gods) even real, or are the broken people just in desperate need for some invisible being to wipe away their guilt freely?
PS-If you are reading this and you are a Christian and you find it offensive, DO NOT respond immediately by telling me that "Jesus is MY God" or "God loves you" because this only further proves my theory. Instead, remove your bias and think for just a moment. Is it God, or you?

If you are a believer, what would you do if once you died you realized there is no God. How would you feel? You are NOT a believer, what would you do and feel if there was one.

I figure someone will ask....so I'll go ahead and answer myself. I don't dislike other religions...I get frustrated sometimes when I'm in a debate...but I don't dislike people's choices.

I'm talking the 1946 boundaries. No split state with the former Jewish Agency,as the current administrators were then known.

I see comments all the time like; " God doesn't exist because you can't prove he does!" in many different forms. If you agree with that then you should also agree with the following.

The Titanic was actually NOT lying on the bottom of the ocean until it was discovered.
The atom WAS the smallest particle until we found smaller.
The earth really WAS flat until we discovered that it was round.
There were in fact NO micro waves, radio waves, microscopic organisms, bacteria, viruses, or the city of Ancor Watt until people found them.

I'm sure you agree that the above are rediculous assertions. By the same logic, does that not then mean that just because God has not been (and most likely cannot) be proven, it does NOT prove definitively that there is in fact no God?

Isn't it true that the only thing lack of proof proves is that there is lack of proof? Doesn't this prove atheism to be illogical and (for people who reject faith) agnostisism the only logical alternative to religion

Besides online. When was the last time you had a conversation about atheism? Did you talk about fairies? Did they laugh at you or was it a respectful conversation? Plus how many times have you told them to go to hell.

My view, is simply this:
Civilization is not progress, it is just pure chaos and destruction.

"As a civilization we grow food, lock it up, and make ourselves earn money to buy it back."
- Daniel Quinn

Does that make sense to you?

Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, "Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those (who hate You flee before You."

I do not care what it means. All I care is how does it connect to your own life?!

Even when well bled, almost all meat contains blood. Cut up a raw beef roast or some chicken legs and you will be guaranteed to find blood.
If 'abstaining from blood' is so crucial that you would refuse a potentiality lifesaving blood transfusion or medicines containing blood (i.e. some antivenins for snake bite) and choose to die instead, then why eat meat?
Ask any butcher and they will tell you most if not all meat contains some amount of blood.

The retina of your eye is less than 1 sqaure inch yet it contains over 137,000,000 light sensitive cells! How would you like to be the electrician that wired that up!
" To suppose that the eye could have evolved by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree" Charles Darwin- The orgin of Species pg. 217

How could the eye evolve?
