i know i didn't. i also never asked to be created. so why should i worship some god who forced me to be hear for his own selfish need to be worshipped. if he wants me to worship him then he needs to do a whole lot more for me then just put me here. and for you christians, i never asked for this so called god to kill his own son for me. so don't think that means anything to me. and for those who claim that jesus is god, and he came here to die, then by not doing anything to prevent his own death, he is guilty of suicide.

Nope. Twain said the same thing. Well, he is a bit more deep on the subject, but hey, it's Twain.
"Strange...a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied seventy times seven and invented Hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him!"
I really like he suicide touch there. That never crossed my mind

I didn't ask to be born. In fact, when I was a kid, I often wished that I hadn't been. There's no way we "choose" our parents, what twaddle. There is no way, given a choice, that I would have chosen the parents I had, that was just extremely bad luck. I couldn't figure out why I was here, and I didn't want to be here. After a while, I realized that there were things about life that I really liked, I just had to find them and get what I didn't like out of my life. This "god" is embarrassingly human, fallible, shallow, transparent, jealous, cruel, spiteful, vindictive, illogical, irrational, psychotic, and Jesus was not only delusional, but determined to die a martyr's death so that he'd be more powerful in death than he was in life. Look at how many people felt sorry for Saddam, watching him swing, posting questions like, "Don't you feel a little bit sorry for Saddam?". Execution will arouse sympathy where there was none before. "Oh, he died for this belief - maybe there's something to it." I know what Jesus did, and why he did it, and it had nothing to do with a god, or sin, or anything other than his own agenda.

Then, why don't you kill yourself? This way you will repair the mistake that God made by letting you be born.
But, yes, you are right. Nobody has actually asked to be born. I know I haven't, anyway, but I am so glad I was born. Life is beautiful, especially if you don't waste it on useless debates like science VS religion, which god is better, is there any god at all etc. I chose to believe and I don't really care if you believe in anything or not. It's a matter of choice. Peace.

OK sit your butt down and take a survey of what is going WRONG in your life and think of ways to improve them. Your environment needs sprucing up, either shape up or find a new place to grow because it ain't happening where you are at the moment. Down on your luck? Someone has pissed you off, Don't like your parents? Just remember, your life directly affects at least 20 people so start getting that hate out of you and try something new, and one more thing God is testing you and seeing how you choose in this life. You (we) have one chance to decide where we want to spend eternity Heaven or Hell that's what it is all about man. Either choose Satan who will pick you up by your shoe strings and drag you through the dirt, or choose God who allows peace for your soul.

That is the point you didn't ask God for anything, he did it because he loves you and some day, unless you change, you will open up your eyes in hell and realize that God is real and you messed up Oh yeah and Jesus died to save us from hell so he is the SAVIOR not someone guilty of suicide.

maybe its time for your to look to a different religion. also most people feel that way. but god and the world wont change no matter how upset you get at it. even if you flip off the sky, nothing is going to change. a fist is not big enough to block out the sun. i personally dont think god or jesus wants you to worship him, but maybe he hopes to be your friend.

So you are a Christian (by the statements about God and Jesus being in line with Christian requirements), but resent it. Interesting. Your claim to know what "you" asked for before birth is an interesting metaphysical assertion, too.

noone here asked to be born. life is a gift and its in your own choosing on how to live it. and God doesnt ask anybody to worship him. its up to you to worship or thank him for the chance he given you to live.
and lastly its not called suicide. its called sacrifice. he did it to cleanse the sins. he didnt ask anything in exchange for it.

I would not let someone who had humiliated, tortured, and killed their own child near another person, much less worship the sadistic pig.

This life is a blessing, and you should be thankful to your Creator who has given you countless blessings.
This life is a test, which determines where we are going to live forever after we die.
