The bible was written by man.
Which means it's total bullshit and cannot be taken seriously.


As for God, I think everyone has their own. I feel that God is a journey not someone you have to constantly worship and pray to get to.

I completely skipped over hers until i realized it. But shes right. My friend told my Jesus wrote it yet they could prolly be new from this year. Okay... maybe someone copied it but seriously! It was written by a man which means its just a pile of s**t that people actually believe! And I wont be rottin in hell if I dont believe in God. Even is he is real he aint gonna send me to hell for not believin...
 
     
 
i believe in the idea of a god so much as the actual existence.
i think if anything god is the name we've given our conscience, sin is what we call our taboo ideas and feelings or things we regret, people have to give them names because they cant let go of the idea that there isnt more after this. this is it, this is life its all we've got so why not do something with it? religion is an excuse to become complacent and put the blame on someone else because we dont want to admit that we DO have control over these things.

that is acctually a very interesting perspective on things. it is a good way to believe in something and put logic behind it so that it is more concievable

I say, no proof, no god.

Just because the bible Is there dosen't mean anything.

The bible Is just a bunch of stories that have been mixed and matched for thousands of years.

So, believeing every single word of the bible Is annoying, In my opinion.

Also, without religion, to be honest, we really wouldn't be anywhere.

We would be lost, and think of something else to believe In.

So... In a way, he 'exists' In the mind.

But, I still don't believe.
     
Dear DLS, I love you.

well, I have always believed in God, I was raised that way, and I go to church and everything, I have lost faith before though and things seemed to get worse in my life during that time, but I am proud to be a Christian again, there is no way to prove or disprove God, and I don't need physical proof that God exists to believe in him.

God exists as long as man-made literature says he/she does, and as long as people believe in it. Just as Satanists or w/e religion can prove they're god as long as they believe in it.

WTF kind of fantasy language pronounces "aois" as "eesh"? DX


It's Irish

Well now it all makes sense. You have to be drunk to speak it! XD
 
I'm polytheistic. It just makes sense to me. They could always be some "outside forces", rather than beings, or they could simply not exist at all, but I choose to believe. Makes me feel more comfortable about myself, you could say.

-Ernest Gaines
No, I don't believe in God.

No so-called "sacred" text shown to me is sufficient proof. They were all a collection of mythologies before them, and were written by men, no matter what others say. I do not adhere to the teachings of any "higher being". I make my own choices, I decide what's right and wrong on my own, I live with my mistakes, I live my life the way I want, I choose my own destiny.

All religion has ever done throughout history has spread war and bigotry, and I do not wish to contribute to that by any means. I believe that if there truly were a higher being of any sort, the whole world would adhere to the same set of beliefs pertaining to this being.

From a scientific standpoint, I believe that if my body, as well as that of any living thing (be it animal, plant, bacteria, etc.) were the result of intelligent design, there would be no such thing as disease or injury, seeing as how we were created by a perfect being. Besides, I for one take pride in knowing that I am a being whose complexity took billions of years to develop naturally, rather than being created from the dirt, or whatever it is one may believe.

As we have seen, throughout history, countless times have people credited "miracles" for the things they cannot explain. Many of the things people could not explain in the past were eventually explained by science. To me, it seems that people always try to find an answer for something, but if they cannot make sense of it, "God" is always the fallback option, which everyone accepts without hesitation. As time progresses, science will show us how more and more things work, and before long, God doesn't explain s**t.

Ever since I was a small child, I wondered, "If God exists, why is there so much violence, disease, and poverty in the world?" I always thought that if God allowed this to happen, he either doesn't exist, or is some sort of tyrant, in which case, I wouldn't even think to worship him.

Finally, I stand firm in the belief that just as ancient religions such as Egyptian, Norse, and Greek Mythology were dismissed and are now regarded as literature, I believe that in time, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and other modern religions will meet the same fate.

What gods do you worship then?
 
     
 
So if God exists whats up with all the shitty stuff in the world? Okay well I tell my friends that I dont believe in God and they always say the same thing... "Arent you Jewish though?" Yes I am Jewish but that means nothing. Being Jewish doesnt mean you have to believe in anything. And besides I never went to anything for my religion so yeah it dont make sense.
