I believe in God but I don't believe some of the things you said. I don't believe I'm righteous because I believe in God. I don't confess my sins to God so that I can go out and commit more sins! I confess my sins so that I can be forgiven for them and try to lead a life free from sin. Does that mean I'll never sin again, of course not! We're human! But I am going to try real hard to follow God's way and not sin. If that makes me insane then so be it!

Well,yes I do believe a virgin gave birth, I believe through god his word was written, I believe My sins are removed, but I do not want to commit more, just the opposite. I don't believe I am righteous, but only in Jesus. The Gospel is not about hatred, but about love.

I see precisely what you're saying. And to operate to somebody else who commented - sure free will DOES exist. We as people have the flexibility to do what we decide. and those judgements determined what takes position next. anyhow - I choose i had the time to furnish you an somewhat component answer - even with the undeniable fact that I dont - so! i got here upon some very enlightening sources of suggestion is a few books, i somewhat imagine you need to study them. a million. Sylvia Brown - the different area and lower back. 2. (any e book by Doreen distinctive feature.) you'll locate the solutions on your questions. another element, the way I see it, we actually have the flexibility to create our own hell. there isn't any "firey gates of hell" that we visit if we do incorrect. Hell is the karmic reaction to undesirable movements. we could also choose to do good - bringing good karma. We on the earth - our project is to go back at the same time, unite as one. artwork at the same time, be efficient.

Atheists are believers too. They believe in atheism. Atheism is a faith-based belief system. Atheists cannot prove the non-existence of God any more than Christians can prove the opposite. If you believe that which cannot be proved you are practicing faith.
Now, right back at you:
Non-God believers, how could you not be insane? Seriously?

I agree, many of the beliefs you cite are contrary to reason and compassion, this is why I am a panthiest rather than a dogmatic christian as I was raised. However, I would suggest that you be careful with words like "insane", as that has a technical legal meaning. It means mental incapacitation to the point where one does not realise that one's illegal and harmful actions are wrong. Also, as the christians here will probably explain better than I can, many of the conclusions you state do not follow from their premises, because they overlook the factor of repentance.

It is a fearful (formidable and terrible) thing to incur the divine penalties and be cast into the hands of the living God!
