would you give up your religion and believe that there is no god at all if it were to end all wars?

Question

No offensive answers please im just curious...

Jan D: Man started all wars true, but most wars are because of religion and "man" is to be blamed for the whole concept of "god". By the word "god" I mean gods and goddesses of all religions. So don't get offended and not that I don't believe in god it's just that it's a fact that man invented/discovered the notion of "god".... if god really exists or don't is not for us to find out

Answer 1

im an atheist, so yes

Answer 2

Wow, I was talking with some friends from church recently about this. I also had this feeling deep inside, "what if God didnt exist?" We talked for hours, debating on facts. Our conclusion: Yes, God exists. I'll try to give you some insight on what we went over.

Ok, let's not get too complicated and just give an everyday example. Suppose you got home today, and there was this beautiful chocolate cake with icing and everything, on top of ur table. Now, we have 2 theories of where that cake came from:

1) There was an HEB truck this afternoon going by ur house, and all of a sudden, a car hit it at 70mph, and the truck rolled over violently. There were eggs, flour, all sorts of stuff in the truck, and they all got mixed up in the crash, and the truck caught on fire, and the extreme heat baked all that stuff, and as the truck continued to roll on the street, the stuff flew through ur window and miraculously landed on ur table.

2) Someone who knew how to bake a chocolate cake, went there and did it, and then put it on top of ur table for you.

Which one makes more sense? If you answered #2, good! Then God created the Earth and everything in it. If you prefer to believe in an absurd and very creative theory called "the big bang", in which somehow gases mixed up, just in the right proportion, and then everything exploded and the earth was formed ... my friend, you have a very creative mind. First of all, how were those gases there? Someone must have created it. God. Stuff doesn't just appear.

=D Doesn't that make sense? Ok, now, let's get a lil more complicated.

Scientists say that man evolved from monkeys or whatever their creative mind came up with. Well, it has been proven that over time, living beings only lose genetic material, constantly. Therefore, evolution cannot be possible. The human body is so complex, there is no way it just "evolved" from something. A project called GENOMA, just recently finished their research. Their task: make a complete mapping of the human DNA. Many countries joined forces to complete this project, each taking a body part, like arm, leg, or whatever, and finding out the DNA code for it. Germany was in charge of the human eye. At the end of the project, they said that the human eye was so complex, that there was NO WAY it could have evolved from some other animal. It's a fact. Scientists researched and wrote it down. Aren't they contradicting themselves now? Ok, I believe I made a point on this one. Mankind did not evolve. God made man in His image.

Ok, now back to the big bang stuff. The NASA has been measuring the distance from the Earth to the moon, and it's a fact that every year the moon gets further and further away from the Earth. Fact. It's been proven. It's also a mathematical equation. So, if we take that mathematical equation, and do it backwards, we come up with how long since the earth and the moon we're almost touching. The calculations say something about 10 thousand years. It can't be more than that, otherwise the moon would have been rolling around on the earth.

Also, it's possible to calculate the rate of aging of the Earth. Every year, scientists calculate the rate at which the Earth is aging. It's roughly the same. If we then backtrack how long since the Earth was relatively "new", the calculations vary from 10 to 12 thousand years. It's fact.

Also, the population of the Earth. Today, we have roughly 6.5 billion people alive. Populations, increase in a mathematical progression. In other words, there will always be more people alive today, than there are people dead. Fact. It's not possible to have more people dead than alive. Draw a sketch of a simple family tree, and you'll stumble upon the same conclusion. So, if we backtrack how long since the beggining of population, the results say somewhere between 10 to 12 thousand years.

Every fact that we can backtrace, falls upon the same range. 10 to 12 thousand years. In other words, the Earth is relatively new, not millions of years old as some scientists say.

So, why would scientists not agree with this? Why would they come up with these ridiculous theories about some big bang or whatever? The answer is simple. At the very moment that they agree that there is an all-powerful being, a God, that created everything we know, they realize all their sins. At the moment they realize their sins, they know that they'll have to eventually have a commitment and a close relationship with God. They don't want any commitments to anyone. So what's the easy way out? Make up some random theories that we evolved from monkeys and that the Earth just happens to have been created randomly by a Big Bang, that they themselves can't explain how it supposedly happened.

I sincerely hope this has opened your eyes to the truth. Thanks for reading this, and I really hope that you now accept the commitment that God wants you to have with Him. If you're already commited with God, then I hope this text has restrengthened your faith.

God Bless all of you, and have a great day.

Answer 3

First of all God did not start the war, Man did God did not make Religion man did I have know religion I just believe that Jesus died for our sins to save us and give us eternal life, Why you have to blame wars on God for i have know idea, Jesus loves us all
he is all about Love and peace not wars
May God bless you and have a great day

Answer 4

No, just because there is an end to war does not prove or disprove the existance of a god.

Without war there would be even worse problems, starvation and plague to name a couple. As sad as it sounds, war keeps the world in balance.

Answer 5

The Bible is pretty clear about complete peace on earth - that is one of the signs of the end of the world. Not that I'm a crazy fanatical Christian - I'm just saying world peace probably would be a little too creepy (considering it has never ever existed ever). But, nevertheless, God is real - it doesn't matter if I believe in Him or not - he still exists regardless of my belief in Him.

Answer 6

In a twisted way you figured out a way to perhaps eliminate most of the wars. There would be less separation and hatred among different nations.
Religious wars of the past have triggered hatred throughout the centuries.
The minute you accept one religion you are separating yourself from all who don't join your faith.

Answer 7

No I wouldn't, and it wouldn't do any good either. Jesus said there would be wars until the end, Revelation talks about wars and the end of time, and so on. War will end once this earth has passed away and the new earth is created.

Answer 8

How could I grieve my God in such a way?
Even if I forsook my God just to end all wars, what else could I give up just to end the rest of human evil?

Answer 9

No, that would be committing one sin (telling a lie) to "prevent" another. It would never work.

Plus, it would be mental and spiritual prostitution: knuckling under to an athiestic philosophy for a "payoff" of "peace", which would never really materialize anyway!

Answer 10

That's impossible, because man's sinful nature makes him fight. Denying God gets you no where.

Answer 11

Nope.
Hatred still exists in those who don't believe in God.
