Anything wrong with this?

Question

You follow a religion based all on faith and have no tangible proof of your god.You clam the earth to be his creation and your book to be his words.You claim to see your savior and hear his voice but when others hear voices you call them insane.You remain sin free just in hope being saved from enternal damnation.Do you see anything wrong with this?
Please excuse any mispells or typos I am dyslxix so I have a very hard time remebering how to spell disspite my very high I.Q.

By the way the only reason I added that I have a high I.Q. is vthe instant I say I'm dyslxix people think less of me and they begin to really insult me.Thats the only reason thats there,no other.

Lets see if I mispell a word people insult me,I mention I'm dyslexic and have a hard time remebering how to spell some words people think less of me,then I mention I am very intelligent and people act as if I am saying I am better than them.Then people bug me about my name,its a freakin name quit complainning.It seems no one will ever be pleased here.Damn hypocryts.

Answer 1

i am a christian, so i'm sure i'm biased, but i think that as long as you don't judge other people, then it's fine. and just fyi, no one is sin free. and often times when people say they see God and hear him, they don't mean literally. sometimes they do, but its usually just more figurative. when people hear that someone hears voices or sees things, they jump to judgment and label them insane. its human nature because its not "normal." i can say this because i am schizoaffective (combo of bipolar and schizophrenia) so i hear those voices....but i also hear God's voice. but its different. but i'm crazy, so what do i know? i'm sorry if you feel judged by christians or other religions. no one should judge you. especially not a christian. because christians are supposed to believe that they are sinners, only saved by Christ's blood, so how can they judge? but the majority do. sometimes i hate being grouped with "christians" i just love jesus. anywho. don't know that i did much as far as answering your question, just my two cents.
EDIT: wow, people can be so mean. when i read your question, i didn't think you meant to antagonize anyone, you were just being honest. people just tend to react so crazily to certain things. wouldn't it be nice if we could all just discuss things without getting pissy? when one person gets pissy, then everyone does and nothing comes of it. maybe you meant to be antagonistic and i'm just a dunce with my head in the clouds, oh well, its nice up here.

Answer 2

As an Atheist myself, I can admit to having no tangible proof that GOD doesn't exist or that the Torah isn't the work of GOD, mediated by man, no matter how much I disapprove the theory.

I think that GOD and the bible are two different things - not to be confused in religion (especially the new testament).

We believe that the earth was created by a huge 'explosion' of energy - I propose that the huge explosion of energy, responsible for creation of everything, has been called "GOD" by some believers (at a time when we didn't know what 'energy' was) and somewhere along the line we have separated religion and science but really they are one and the same

Most 'sane' Christians do not claim to have seen or heard GOD, those that do are branded insane by the scientific world in the same manner that anyone else would be.

Certainly the world would be a much better place if we all chose to remain sin-free, regardless of our motivation for this. Why would you oppose peace just because you oppose religion?

You spelled particularly well by the way. ;)

Answer 3

Even pre-humans seem to have had a need for spirituality, a sense of something greater. Maybe it's wired into most brains. It makes people happy, so why would it be wrong? (and I wish people were able to be 'sin free'). So it suits the human race, it makes people think, people at least try to be better than they are. So as long as it isn't used to hurt others, I don't think it's wrong. The beliefs may or may not be correct in the end, but that doesn't make following a religion wrong.

Answer 4

I will not brag about my I.Q. and will not find fault in others.

I find the perfection of my God's creation throughout the life I live and even in within the science I practise (Geophysics).

His Earth is made for us,

His book brings strength and hope,

I see our saviour in the goodness in life and hear his voice when there is someone in need.

I TRY to be sin free because I want to contribute to peace,

Enternal damnation is dying with regret.

If a religion is based on the preservation of a quality life, I dont not see anything wrong with that.

Answer 5

You follow a religion based on 'science' which is in perpetual flux. You clam the earth evolved and the racist Darwin the one who enlightened you. You claim that there is nothing that exists that can't be tangibly seen. You deny the reality of sin and spit at the idea of any moral obligation to God. Do you see anything wrong with this?
You deny the existence of what you can't see just because you can't see it or don't want to believe it in spite of your very high I.Q.

Answer 6

I believe it is called faith. I am agnostic for these very reasons. I never hear voices in my head, only my own conscience and when people start chanting jibberish or speaking in tongues, I think they are psychotic. Guess I don't have a whole lot of faith that they are truly speaking some unknown foreign language when it sounds like nonsense to me. If I can't touch, taste, feel, hear or see it, it is not real to me. Perhaps I am not big on faith.
It is okay if you are dyslexic....so was Albert Einstein.

Answer 7

Nope. It's good to believe in something AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T RESULT IN THE HARMS OF OTHERS. If you're benefiting yourself and others at the same time then good for you. Don't let others run you down just because your views are different from theirs. True, religion has been a basis for many wars and other horrible events, but to some people, religion is the only thing giving them direction in life.

I think it would be good to stop the debate because neither side can win without concrete proof. Just let people live their lives and let them face the consequences of their own decisions.

Answer 8

It is not a matter of what you believe friend. It is a matter of fear of the unknown. Ask yourself this: Do I fear death? If I do, Why? What happens when I die? Do I care? If I don't; then who cares what I believe but me? It is all about whether or not you want to look forward to a happy ending, or no ending at all. I choose the happy ending. We fight wars over this. It is rude to point fingers by simply saying YOU follow a religion... Your high I.Q. should have told you that. Another thing not only you, but everyone, should realize, is that it doesn't matter what you believe... It's just that you believe.

Answer 9

Honestly, yes. I mean, I won't hate someone for it, and I won't try to pass a law that says people can't do this stuff, but yeah, I find it odd. It's a little like meeting an adult who still believes in Santa, and keeps a nightlight on to repel the Boogeyman.

It seems nonsensical to me. The last part of your proposal is Pascal's Wager, and enough has already been said on here against that.

Answer 10

No I don't see anything wrong with this because when things happen out of our control we tend to seek the higher power to help. Since people really are unsure how we got here or why we are they think that something of higher intellegence had to do with it. It doesn't hurt do beleive especially when there's a book out there that's based on how to live in which everyone abides by all or part of.
