Can anyone else agree?

Question

When I was younger my parents never pushed any one religion on me. They encouraged me to attend different churches with different religions with different friends and I did. But I am not religious.
I think the Bible is what is it - a book. I think it has great moral stories. Just as good as any Asops Fables or Mother Goose. The Bible just has older stories.
I just don’t believe that people were created by God. I believe in evolution, I don’t believe you go anywhere after you die. Ok.. you go into the dirt. I believe you take what you got and make the best of it for yourself and others. Not because you get into heaven for it. I have all my family / friends, if I didn’t have all of them I would have any reason to live. I live my life for what I have not for what I might have.

Answer 1

There is one thing your parents did give you, COMMON SENSE

Answer 2

I'm afraid that's not what you belive sis, because if it was trure why would you write this quistion, its because you're not ok with it and confused its ok...ok you say that you believe in evolution,...why are there still monkies out there why didn't they evoluted into humen...please recpect your self and be a human... look at the other creaturs arround you...they only live for food, sex friends and family...I'm telling you that not because I hate you or to be judjmental, its because I know you're smarter than those animals, plants, pugs and monkies. ok I answerd your quistion..would you do me a favor for that?? would you plz use your smarter brian and think again about the universe?? I mean if I told you that I was alon in an island and suddenly the trees made me a boat would your smart mide believe me?? so how could it belive that a whole universe was made out this way??

Answer 3

I'm not saying if I agree or disagree. I'm just saying that if you firmly hold your belief, why do you need to find others who agree with you? Believe what you believe and that's it. You don't have to defend what you believe, and you can quietly go about your business believing it. The only suggestion I have is to maintain an open mind and not be judgemental about others' beliefs. You have a right to belief whatever you want, and if that gives you comfort, so be it. You seem like a very nice person so this works well for you.

Answer 4

Hi Nass,
I can agree w/ you that no one should push you what to believe in. Afterall, God gave you free will.

But, I don't agree w/ you that the Bible is just like Aesop's Fable. The bible's record of fulfilled prophecies speaks for itself.
In fact I can cite to you 2 minor ones that are occurring right now. Yes, now, here on yahoo answers. Here they are:

Jesus words: ' I thank you Father for hiding these things from the wise ones of this world and giving it to babes'. In plain language, God has allowed the brains of the self-proclaimed reasoning beings to atrophy!
2nd, according to proverbs: the fool has said there is no God.

Try and locate these verses. Or, ask your parents little help.

Answer 5

Your question was can anyone else agree? I disagree 100%. I believe in the Bible as God's inspired inerrant Word, (I know, because it changed my life), I encouraged my children to trust in God and to attend a good church, I still have my family and friends, plus I have a promise of eternal life besides...not too shabby!

Answer 6

(Did you think that We had created you without any purpose, and that you would never be brought back to Us?")holy Quran

(Does man think that he will be left to himself to wander at will? Was he not a mere sperm-drop, which is emitted (in the mother's womb)? Then he became a blood-clot then Allah formed him and fashioned his limbs in proportion; then from it He made two kinds, male and female. Has He(ALLAH) not then the power to give life to the dead? ) holy Quran

Answer 7

No, i cant say that i agree. Fulfilled Prophecies
The remarkable evidence of fulfilled prophecy is just one case in point. Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled, specifically and meticulously, often long after the prophetic writer had passed away.
For example, Daniel the prophet predicted in about 538 BC (Daniel 9:24-27) that Christ would come as Israel's promised Savior and Prince 483 years after the Persian emperor would give the Jews authority to rebuild Jerusalem, which was then in ruins. This was clearly and definitely fulfilled, hundreds of years later.
There are extensive prophecies dealing with individual nations and cities and with the course of history in general, all of which have been literally fulfilled. More than 300 prophecies were fulfilled by Christ Himself at His first coming. Other prophecies deal with the spread of Christianity, as well as various false religions, and many other subjects.
The historical accuracy of the Scriptures is likewise in a class by itself, far superior to the written records of Egypt, Assyria, and other early nations. Archeological confirmations of the Biblical record have been almost innumerable in the last century. Dr. Nelson Glueck, probably the greatest modern authority on Israeli archeology, has said:
"No archeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or in exact detail historical statements in the Bible. And, by the same token, proper evaluation of Biblical descriptions has often led to amazing discoveries."
Another striking evidence of divine inspiration is found in the fact that many of the principles of modern science were recorded as facts of nature in the Bible long before scientist confirmed them experimentally. A sampling of these would include:

Roundness of the earth (Isaiah 40:22)

Almost infinite extent of the sidereal universe (Isaiah 55:9)

Law of conservation of mass and energy (II Peter 3:7)

Hydrologic cycle (Ecclesiastes 1:7)

Vast number of stars (Jeremiah 33:22)

Law of increasing entropy (Psalm 102:25-27)

Paramount importance of blood in life processes (Leviticus 17:11)

Atmospheric circulation (Ecclesiastes 1:6)

Gravitational field (Job 26:7)

and many others.
The remarkable structure of the Bible should also be stressed. Although it is a collection of 66 books, written by 40 or more different men over a period of 2,000 years, it is clearly one Book, with perfect unity and consistency throughout.

The individual writers, at the time of writing, had no idea that their message was eventually to be incorporated into such a Book, but each nevertheless fits perfectly into place and serves its own unique purpose as a component of the whole. Anyone who diligently studies the Bible will continually find remarkable structural and mathematical patterns woven throughout its fabric, with an intricacy and symmetry incapable of explanation by chance or collusion.

Answer 8

I concur that this is what you believe. And I respect your right to believe it. I don't agree with anything you said, but that's cool. We all have different ways of understanding life on earth, until we don't anymore.

Answer 9

Sorry but I do not agree.But I do like your point considering the afterlife and it treasures.That was very thoughtful,and you were very respectful while stating your beliefs.Thank you.We need that around here more often.

Answer 10

Don't you ever wonder is there something else I may be missing?Why am I here? I just wish you had the security and peace that only God gives.

Answer 11

I agree almost with everything (I only defers by believing in reincarnation). And well done to your parents - I'll do the same with my children!
