I don't think anyone who truly practices "religion" the way it was intended to, as a guideline would say that God has any influence over mans choice to decide.

I didn't mean just in man's choices made. How many times do you hear 'Oh poor Timmy, he was entirely too young to die. Only threeyears old,' only to be followed by 'Well he is with Jesus now, God works in mysterious ways.' There's nothing mysterious about that.

There is no point.
It's just something that people decide to do b/c it fulfills something for them psychologically.
There are also people that have spiritual experience that reinforce that belief.
This is a typical problem. People think there has to be "a point" to everything.
Not everything needs a point. We are not meant to understand everything.
Right now, we know a fraction of what "existence" actually means in this Universe.
And until someone actually does know all of it, there will always be questions.
It's your choice to believe what you want, and accept the fact that others will do the same.

As a former baptist, I asked myself a similar question a long time ago. Its a win/win situation right? But ultimately, if God was the God I beenreading and hearing about then I knew I couldn't fool Him and I should stop fooling myself.

Do I believe in a supreme being waiting to judge my soul? No
Do I believe there is a higher power which regulates the universe? Yes

For the fellow Atheist in here, Bravo. Congrats on making the decision to make yourself susceptible to all of the ridiculous debates you are now made to engage in. Congrats on not using the 'God did it....that's why' card. Congrats on not being happy with such ******ed notions of the world being made in six days and that some people are sinners because they don't genuflect at the idea of some magical man in the sky. Bravo for not being part of the problem. With all the morons that cry of some religious persecution, understand that you, the Atheist, have it worse.


Oh and be grateful that there isn't a god. If there was, he is doing a terrible job.



Oh and I implore you to join Atheist United if you want to change all of the wrong perceptions of Atheist.




couldnt agree more

Should I? should I? lol.........Ive answered this a bunch of times, if somebody never had a true chance to know and "reject" the gospel God willjudge you by your heart and intent, this is the meaning of "Blasphemy" that people get so wrong, Blasphemy is rejection of the holy spirit inGod's word done with your heart, "the unforgiveable sin".......myself I was born into a Christian house hold but I neverrrrrrrrrr said "thisis it" I looked at what other believed with an open mind, if you are brithed into a hindu believing family that does not mean you cant search foryourself......you are not dammed or stuck to that mind set just like I was not

There's a difference between belittling a religion and questioning it, believers get this mixed up when they are in a debate with atheists.Non-belief in itself is disrespectful to religious folks.....that includes belief in anything other than their Deity. This is why various religious factions goto great lengths to convert the nonbelievers and in many cases throughout history have even attempted to annihilate nonbelievers by violent means. It'slike getting everyone on the planet to believe your religion somehow validates it.

Eh, too much to say.

" God sure does work in mysterious ways "

Again the rest of the "hindu" family has the same choise and free will to believe and not to believe or I should say reject, do you beieve everythingyou hear? I sure dont and when it comes to where you are going to spend the rest of your life you better check all of them out and see what truth is not justtake somebodys word for it..........and God made us different in personality and looks, not what we believe, we did that with our own freewill! he warned us tobe aware of these things but he give a man freewill to believe what he wants......you can believe you are God if you want! he wont stop you, just like whenyour parents will tell you not to do something bad when you are growing up, they can tell you but you are going to at the end of the day pick for yourself

[youngprodigy10]

but why did he set us down here already damned......and then 400 years after jesus comes, he talks to prophets and tells them the WORD. my whole point is thatChristianity hasnt been here forever. so when there was no Christianity, everyone who had the freewill to think for themselves was damned and spent eternity alake of brimstone and fire? its like us making a new religion right now and saying to find out what it is and it'll save you for eternity.....but the otherppl who are practicing their beliefs and damned
