what , you dont have none, than what if your faith that there is none is wrong,,
if im wrong and there is none , ive lost nothing , but lived a happy and good life,
but on the other hand if your wrong ,it cost you forever in hell .
seems to me , a person has to be absent minded to believe there is no God or hell,
what do you think about it?

Ive been discussing this topic with my parents and many of my friends at school. So far what I've found is that most liberals think he is a liberal, and all conservatives think he is a conservative. Personally I believe he is a Conservative because he sort of set the world in motion without much interference so that we would learn on our own. If he was a liberal he would have held our hand all the way, we wouldn't be as well off and we would be completely and totally dependent on god. Which like any father this is not what God would want. But who cares about my opinion, I'm wondering what you think. Oh one more thing in your answer include your religion, and political alignment.

If he is all knowing, he would have known that putting the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden would cause Eve to eat it, if he was all powerful he should have done all he could to stop her being tempted. And if he is all good, he should have forgiven Eve more making a mistake that he knew she would make. And thus condeming man kind to the world we live in today.

We have different time zones, we think of Jesus' return in our time zone. But what about those who are hours, even a day ahead of us? Will we have to wait till its our turn? If we are behind other countries in hours & even a day, do they go first before we do? Just how is this specific day & time going to work out when we have different time zones as only God knows when Jesus will return.

Even though I haven't been a practicing witch for about six years, and even though I renounced witchcraft about that long ago?

I'm just wondering if anyone else has this.

They don't have to be wearing a pentacle or anything like that, I just sense it. They also sometimes sense it about me, too. Is that weird?

I've decided that the risk of hell is too great, and I don't want to be an atheist anymore. But here's the problem: most Christians on here tell me if I don't accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior, I will go to hell. The Muslims say if I don't become a Muslim, I will go to hell.

So who's right?

According to Vivekananda, "true joy and happiness cannot come about as long as there is desire, but arises from the contemplative witness-like study of objects".

If there were no desire, why would one bother doing anything (including contemplating)? And if you do nothing, you would have no purpose and surely on the contrary be unhappy. Clearly I am misunderstanding...can anyone explain?

For members of the LDS Church, if Jesus is our Lord and Saviour what did Jesus save man from?

Catholic Christians hear this opinion that we are saved by faith alone and we recoil at the thought of faith alone regardless of the fact that the Scriptures condemns such heresy. We see the Bible teaching that both faith and works come from God's grace and that neither come from our own efforts. Surely we have free will and can refuse this grace that can only be the work of God and not of our initiating efforts. We are simply responding to God's call with faith and works, which I believe St. James was illustrating in his writing, saying that faith without works is dead since they all come from the same source, God's grace.

If not, why?

This may sound so unrelated and so unexpected for me to bring up. But for all of you, when you dream, do you not ever dream the most outragous things which you would never believe in in real life, yet in your dream it appears fairly logical. Is this maybe the fact that you're not bound to earth-like things e.g time, gravity etc because of the fact that your body is at a state of rest.

So let me relate this to the afterlife. We can only undertand things in relation to the world we have been raised in. we grew up and live in a world with certain entities eg time, and when we hear of the afterlife, much of these boundaries do not exist, so to relate what we know and understand to something which we have never experienced is just illogical.

Anyone welcome to argue or agree, just don't be racist about it.

I try to be a good person. I volunteer to tutor disadvantaged kids. I try to treat my neighbors with respect. I stay politically active and engaged. I'm not expecting a gold star or anything, and I've certainly made mistakes, but I like to think I've made a few positive contribution to the world.

But I'm an atheist. I realize that according to most of you I'm going to hell, because I don't believe Jesus Christ is my personal savior. I can live with you thinking that. But does that also mean the good works I've done are somehow invalidated?

Is it impossible for an atheist (or a Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, or Hindu) to do anything good by definition? I get that sense from you guys sometimes that you think that.

I am not a member of the Nation of Islam, the group that Min. Farrakhan is the national representative of, and I am not a member of any organized religion. He, I think, is not only a religious figure but a social figure as well. What is your opinion of him?

Ive heard that Jesus was actually born in August at some point, and that Christianity moved it forward to coincide with the pagan celebration that we now know as christmas.
True or not???
And if it was true, why did they bring it forward?? Why not leave it in August?

Is it in human nature to say that anything that we can't explain has to have a supernatural origin.When people didn't understand thunder and lighting they gave it a supernatural explanation saying that it was the gods,when we didn't understand floods we said it was god,the sun use to be god,the moon use to be god,the stars were gods,everything that we couldn't figure out was labeled as the work of the gods.We keep saying it until we finally find out what causes these things.


Is this just human nature to explain the currently unexplainable as god,gods,or the work of god instead of saying that we don't know and trying to find out what it is?
