Answer 2

I'm not expecting you, or anyone else for that matter, to believe me when I say this, but years ago I had a major epiphany. I had never seen things so clearly in my life before that time and in that time I could see and understand why we are here and the purpose of our existence. It saw a great deal more than just that, but I never saw there being a God. Now to this day I will not say there is no God, but that when I had this epiphany, that I didn't see a God.

Now one of the major things that I saw, was the root of motivation. Everything that we do, think, or say is driven by an energy. Or in as for a lack of better term, a motivator. It's this that gives us the drive to do things.

So what does motivation have to do with the churches. Take away all the messiah, God, Jesus, Mohamad, etc.. and look at the buisness of the church industry. A Church is driven to have more people in it rather than trying to discover any truth's. A Church will never go back on anything that they say because people consider that to be a form of instability within the church, hence they lose business. People don't want to go to church and hear the minister or pasture saying, yesterday's sermon had not been fully accurate. If you check the pamphlet on the back you'll notice the corrections that I've made on the Book of Job. Instead people go to church to feel safe. They want an answer to the universe and regardless of truth or not. They don't really want to know. I'd say that there are few people in this world that would like to go through life living with the question "What happens when I die". So rather than search for the truth, they take what is given to them. It's ok that Christians believe what they do, but to me it's an easy answer to a very complex universe. I just wish people would believe that there's far more truth within themselves than any Guru, prophet, messiah or any nut job can tell them. I have yet to meet someone that has seen what I have and I'm not saying that there haven't been others, I just haven't met them yet. Nothing about this made me better than anyone else. I had just opened up something that I know few have done.

So going on, there's much that clarity has to offer, but there is so much you have to sacrifice to keep it, and I know, from the last remaining moments of my experience that the next person who experiences it and decides to pursue teaching other people, will change the world.

Answer 3

A lot of the things in the Bible have been found not to be so. For instance, the part in the Bible about the Earth being the center of the universe and the universe revolving around the Earth. That is not true. It's just things like that.

The Bible was written when not much was known about the Earth or anything else...

Whether you believe in God or not, never stop looking for the truth. A lot of Christians, etc. never even are allowed to question their belief or the Bible because it would somehow go against God to do so. I believe that you NEED to question and research things before you can truly commit yourself to something. I think one reason Christians aren't supposed to question their belief is because of fear of what the conclusion will be once they have questioned it and realize that maybe not everything is in the Bible.

Answer 4

Because scientists have PROVEN, with scientific evidence that the world was not, i repeat NOT, created in seven days. it was a long gruelling process that most likely took millions of years. Simple as that. And as for the brainwash thing. Well.... Maybe you are brain washed.... maybye your not.....but... Kids today are forced to believe in god from their parents from a very young age. They were never taught evolution or anything of scientific fact because their parents were to God Believing to even give it a second thought. So they never had anything else to consider except that god exsists. If that's not Brainwashing then i don't know what is.

P.S. And to the answer above mine. Science has Theories.... once they are proven....the turn into laws.... which in my opinion are facts. Your right...god is a theory...one that will never be proven.

Answer 5

We call it brainwashed because the concept of God is mostly based on the writings and beliefs of godists from long ago, not from personal experiences. I want to believe but It is hard for me personally to believe primarily because of suffering, which religion offers no reasonable explanation for. Not believing in God does not automatically mean that the non-believer believes in science. I appreciate science because they are concerned with proof, facts, logic and reasoning - all the qualities that are conspicuously absent from religion.

Answer 6

I do believe in God, but I don't believe in church, and that is where people are being brainwashed, because you all get to hear the "socalled" truth while judging those that don't believe your way.Now how is that possible, can all of you be right?
I believe there is a God, he is good, and we should live like Jesus did, or Mohammed, or Budha, or any of those enlightened sould that did right by God

Answer 7

Yeah there is God period and his son and ect. OK If you are christian we dont preach to brainwash anybody, if you except our faith that cool if you dont hey......good luck to ya. Here is something funny a rock exploded and made earth right right yeah I thougt that sounds crazy my self. Look if you ask god for help and forgiveness he would help you. God is not going to come down and start saving people out of the blue. Its is you to prove him that you are worthy of any blessing or anything that ever happens to you.

Answer 8

I believe in God and what I can't understand is why people say that science has facts, what science has are theories, and God is a theory. To believe that one day a star exploded and here we are is just as ridiculous as some might say God is. It isn't about facts, it's about faith. To have no God is to have no faith.

Answer 9

i dont beleive in god nor scientists, why believe a scientist that can lie.. why believe a book writted by men long ago who could have lied as well, why do you think that because a person does not believe in god that they automatically beleive in science? if a bible beleiver is told something that opposses their faith they fall back to the arguement" thats not in the bible , so its not true",, ever wonder why that is?.. its because to a beleiver nothing can be true but what was written 2000 yrs ago.nuthing proven now can compare to what was written in blind faith thousands of years before they were born....

Answer 10

I believe the scientist because they have something called 'Facts' to prove what they say. Religion has, as yet, given no proof to any of its sayings, nor does it believe that it should prove anything.

The idea of Brainwashing comes from generations of children being force-fed Christianity from a young age, to such a stage that they cannot see beyond it. This is why i am in favour of the full secularisation of schools, the abolishment of state-religions and the liquidisation of church schools. 'God' has no place within our children, or within societies development, so it shouldnt be taught

NB
Lexicon, why is it a religion? We believe in the fats of scientists, because they have been proven.

Answer 11

Science will never, ever, explain everything. Nor will it explain some of the simplest things. So why is it so easy for some people to disprove God?
