Because it's choice. That's what free will is, stupid. If you WANT to believe in God, you can, or else, go to Hell when you die. Again, God didn't say that all will go to heaven. Only SOME, the chosen ones, who WANT to believe.

I don't know why you insist personally attacking the poster instead of doing a rebuttal on what they said. You don't go around insulting people since they don't believe the same way as you do. You're just an ignorant person who believes that they're Christian. If he wanted us to have free will, people wouldn't be dying.

Problem 1. Did you read any of the replies to the post; more specifically, my replies?

Problem 2. Why did you repeat yourself?

And I did answer all of your "problems". But maybe you just need to think about what I said before restating yourself again. wink.gif

Wow. This is going to be entertaining. I'm not trying to change your beliefs at all. However, from what you've said, you have either:

1. misinterpreted what they said
2. misinterpreted what I said
3. ignore what people say
4. repeatly said the samething

It's getting old. Please, actually read the replies.

I have stated dozens of times before, but I'll say it again; I'm not trying to change your beliefs. However, I am trying to show the flaws within them.

Humans? I thought it was Jesus's death that holds your faith? Come on, if you're going to rely on some humans, then at least follow the majority of science. Not some crazy people who think earth is 6000 years old.

How about this, provide some examples of work they have and I'll see what I can give you. I think that sounds fair. smile.gif

Funny; I feel the exact opposite. I don't feel safe when an omnipotent god can kill me with one touch. I don't feel like I can do the right things because he's pressuring me to do his will, else go to hell.

However, I do know the difference of right and wrong. Sadly, my version of right and wrong is only an opinion and cannot be defined without it. I know what is right and what is wrong in this working world. One can obviously see that "stealing" is wrong. But was this a crime before or after god "came"?

If it's survival of the fittest, what is the point of helping others. I bet you're going to say so they can help you. So, where did all those proverbs come out of? And plus, I find it hard to believe everything we have here came out from chance.

And isn't it innocent until proven guilty? If you have no definite proof that God doesn't exist and it proves ALMOST EVERY SINGLE THING WRONG in God, then that religion is considered false...

How is it definite? I think it's only because over the many years we have been on earth we have come to this "conclusion" though right and wrong is something we thought up, it's not like nature told us this is right and this is wrong, unless God did, I don't know.

Depends on exactly what it is. Hurting and killing is not wrong if something beneficial comes out of it. Then again, it could be harmful and beneficial at the same time; thus making it only a point of view problem.

QUOTE

Yeah, I love how you guys have different opinions on religious things but still consider it the same. Then how you guys say we're stupid because we don't share the same opinions you do.

QUOTE

All a point of view. I've asked this before also, but no one has been able to do it:

Define good or bad without using the point of view.

QUOTE

Yes it is; however, in the science field, it's "everything is false until proven true".

The books can't prove me wrong. I have already showed that you guys have no basis on your evidence. I have also shown that your only source is faith. Since only one person seems to agree with me and is on your side, I feel like you guys will never understand me.

However, the book it self is exactly what you have presented, except it uses larger words to appear "professional". The books still provide the same arguements, each one with larger flaws than the next. It's incredibly ridiculous that people can still believe in fairy tales.

By moral standards, killing is wrong. It is MORAL standards! Torture is a wrong thing to do, but people still do it. You're right. Most intelligent people don't torture because they know it proves how stupid you are, by stooping to a lower level of intelligence.

There is no point of helping others. Helping others is a way of showing kindness, not a way of proving someone wrong. That proverb has been around for a long time. In the animal kingdom, is it not survival of the fittest? Does a Falcon not eat a fish so it may still live? Does a cheetah not eat a gazel so it may prosper? That is how it is survival of the fittest. If a gazel could outrun a cheetah, the cheetah would know that that animal is not good to go after cause it wastes all it's energy on it, that animal being fitter then the cheetah.

But then, the cheetah LEARNS to bring his allies along, so they may beat the cheetah. Thus, proving "Survival of the Fittest".

Nothing we have here came out of chance. Everything has evolved. Do you know how earth was made? It was made by all the "space" gas and all the matter, and dust comming together and forming a molten planet. Eventually, the evolved and formed oceans and land masses. When the oceans were made, there were one celled organisms called, Amebas (I don't know how to spell that) Eventually these one celled organisms joined together to create fish. And if you really do believe in the evolution process, the fish eventually evolved and "Sprouted" legs and developed lungs so they were able to walk on the earth. That is how nothing came from chance

Where did you get that from? We never said anything was WRONG about god. We were clearly stating the obvious flaws in religion.

QUOTE(Neiji)

Again, where do you come up with this? We never said there was proof he doesn't exist, we stated our OPPINIONS. But answer this, is there any SUBSTANTUAL proof that "God" DOES exist?

QUOTE(Neiji)

How can they "Prove us wrong"? All these books are, are books written by common man to tell people their FAITH. FAITH is not FACTS. FACTS are things that can be PROVEN. "God" can only be "PROVEN" because a book says so.... A book, written by MAN

QUOTE(Neiji)

Yes, most intelligent people would say this. But this world is full of idiots and morons!

Would you consider your religion a "Sheep Herder" and you a "Sheep"? Because from what I can see, you follow your "FAITH" blindly. Christianity is not the religion that you are depicting.

Christianity is a religion where if you believe in "God" and "Jesus", then you should be able to live a good life. Christianity DOES NOT SAY to go around and flaunt your religion to non-believers, and say that they are "Going to hell if they don't believe in god" and this shit and that. You my friend, are not a true Christian since you do exactly, what your religion says NOT to do.
