Well, nothing makes sense because you'er calling catholism Christianity. I used to be catholic until I started reading the bible for myself. Then things began making sense and now they make perfect sense. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water, but I do recommend that you throw out the dirty bath water.

ive always thought christians (and other religious people) need to believe in something because they cant stand or grasp the thought that we are not special. Believing in religion or a god is incredibly egotistical as it means you believe that humans are special and are more important than animals or the world or the universe, because god supposedly created it all for us.

An athiest can accept that we are an insignificant species, who have evolved out of pure chance into what we are today. They can face the fact that we are not created beings, and that we are not special in any way other than the fact that we are sentient. They can also face the fact that there is no life after death, no heaven or hell, nothing. This is often seen as a bleak view on the world, but to be honest i am 100% non-theist and i take great comfort in the fact that im not going to be burning in hell for the rest of eternity when i die.

in 100 years time the religions we have today will have died out or changed completely from what they are today...

So your talking about minipulating our selfs to question are personal non secular beliefs.. both way you look at it on the properly of the day not some thing will replace, Atheists and Christians will bypass on believing what they have believed all alongside, so that you get them to imagine slightly and spend a 1/2 a 2d on the option crew, and takeing a glance at particular element of perspectives doesnt replace whats already programed in someones ideas and ideas, i'm not a non secular nut nor am i in sum devious cult, all of us die on my own, to be put in a niche as trifeling as having to question are personal beliefs is hypicritical who're we truly if we positioned each and everything we believe in, interior the trash for some seconds to ensure yet another attitude, were placing are self up for dissapointment, reason if we hit upon that we were beliveing a crock of shyt are entire lives then what ?? ... We turn to a distinct faith or cult that must be a crock of shyt besides ....

Being a Christian I have learned that you are either a Christian or your not, there is no in between. You either believe or you don't. I can take the bible and type in different text to try & convince you, but I'm not going to. I just leave you with this: There is no better feeling in the world than to feel loved by God in your heart, and if you have that you will love everything else. What is better for you, to love all & believe, or to love and not feel loved?

Brother This is the View that People Should have!!!

Image what the World Would Be he We All Lived Like This!!!

Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).

2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.

3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.

4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.

5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.

6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.

7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.

8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.

9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.

10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.

11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.

12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.







Hokahe!!!

There are an untold number of ways/beliefs of how we work or 'get' to God. But what easily makes the most 'sense' to me is that there is no amount of work or goodness or anything that we can have on our own to have fellowship with our Creator. If we could do it ourselves, Jesus wouldn't have had to die for our sins on the cross. So, the one belief or faith that stands by itself is that we must trust Jesus to become a Christian.

The more compassionate, open-minded and respectful point of view is preferred.

The more rude, self-righteous, and arrogant is less desirable.

Goes for both.

BETTER IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD WORD

PEOPLE START THINKING THAT YOU ARE SAYING YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THEM, AND GET OFFENDED.

IN CHRISTIANITY THERE IS HOPE
THERE IS TEACHING ABOUT LOVE
ABOUT SACRIFICE
AND THINGS SUCH AS LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.

BUT EVEN THEN IT IS UP TO YOU
AND NOT FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE
TO JUDGE YOU.

IM SORRY FOR THE BIG TYPE, BUT I NEED GLASSES

HOPE THAT HELPS

If nothing makes sense, then you should probably consider the other viewpoint.
