There would no war(most war are about who's god is Baeter)
We could exeacute peds rapeists & murderes with out
anyone yelling thou shelt not kill
and everyone would be treted right no mater if they gay or not gay
Most minersters don't prech the word of god any way.

I am not an aithist or sitninist ( I am budist becuase I stomich
cristyanty any more) and I am not saying to ban religion
I just want know if world would be better out religion

I've asked something vaguely like this before, but want to try a slightly different angle on it and see what the people here, now, think.

please name a crime that truly deserves infinite punishment.

I've talked to and read alot lately of people finding the idea of by our nature, deserving of an infinite punishment, and calling that justice! I just cannot wrap my head around this concept. how can someone think that they, as God created them, are deserving of such?

I don't claim to be perfect, but I am certainly not so bad that I deserve infinite punishment... in fact i'd go so far as to say that *nobody* really deserves infinite punishment. some deserve a whole heck of alot... but eternity is a long time. and what is the point of punishment if theres no chance to learn or repent or even try to make up for that wrongdoing?

what line of thinking is it that leads one to accept such a concept readily, as deserving eternal punishment, at all, let alone by nature.

As most people know, according to the story in the Bible, Job's entire family died, he lost all his wealth and was afflicted with a horrible sickness just so God could win a bet with Satan. At the end of it all, God gives him a new family, wealth, and health as a reward for being so good and faithful.

Doesn't this scenario strike anybody else as being really wrong? Is Job really supposed to not be sad about his old wife and family because he has a new one? Is it fair to his old wife and family to die for a measly bet? How can people think that "God made it OK" by giving him a brand new family, as if it were as easy to replace a family as it is a worn-out car?

Any thoughts?

P.S. I know there are other interpretations of this text. I'm asking specifically those people who take the story at face value, the way I was taught it should be regarded when I was a Christian.

I'm an Episcopalian (Anglican) Christian and in my theology class we've been discussing Catholicism and the Reformation that has created Protestant Christianity. My question is where do Episcopalians fit into this spectrum? I know generally it is a sect of Protestant Christianity, however in our Nicene Creed it is said: "...we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church..." Does this mean that Episcopalians are what exactly?

Thanks for any straightforward and helpful comments. They are much appreciated.

Isn't it terribly conceited to think that we are modeled after a God?

If there's a god, it seems like just some being, and it DOESN'T see what we do, know what we think, hear what we say, or care at all whether or not we follow man-made rules.

Grow some bacteria and try to read their single-celled minds. Watch their actions, are they good or bad?
But wait, you created the bacteria! Why can't you read their minds? God created us, and he can read OUR minds, right?
