I'm going to reply to that, but I'm not going to quote it.
I'm not here to start an argument with you.
You have your opinions and I have mine.
I stopped believing in God because I'm aware that I have one life and I'm young only once. I will not go to church for an hour every Sunday morning and listen to a man in a dress tell me that Jesus Christ still exists in spirit. I refuse to sit and listen to people tell me how I should live my life.
Your sarcasm wasn't necessary and furthermore pissed me off.
You have no right implying that I am ignorant.
You do not have any physical proof that God exists, or ever DID.
You do not have VISUAL proof, and you do not have PHYSICAL proof.
I believe that Jesus Christ existed. Past tense. No longer alive, whether it be breathing, or lingering around in the sky somewhere.
You call me simple-minded, but I am not. You don't know me well enough to make that accusation do refrain from doing so. Just because I think that the things you believe in are a waste of time and good value, doesn't mean that I'm wrong. It doesn't mean that I'm right, either, but I'm not pointing fingers. You are.
I have a high comprehension level. I do not 'comprehend' myself on a regular basis. You need to think about the things you say before saying them.
You say that everything in our universe came from somewhere. That's true. But, wait a second... God's a part of our universe too. Explain to me where "He" came from, because you don't seem to know the answer to that question as I had posted prior to your reply. [Incase you missed that one.]
When you say that you could "easily" stare at your computer and say there's no physical proof of humans, that's what makes the least sense.
Humans DO exist incase you've completely forgotten that you are a human being. We see other human beings. We feel other human beings. Human beings have been around since the beginning of time. THAT is physical proof. The physical proof that can't prove God exists.
The statement you made about the Bible, I agree with. But, as I said before, you have your opinions and I have mine. That's all there is to it. I believe that it's been man-handled in at least some kind of way. A book from so long ago, cannot be the exact same replica today without any tampers whatsoever. It just can't.
Your ignorant statement didn't make any sense to me.
These people are christians. People who are well aware, more than myself, of the christian religion. A 2 year old does not know the answer to a math equation because they have not studied it. They aren't old enough to comprehend things such as that, but grown men and women who have been christian's for many of years are.
They are old enough, and they KNOW about it. That's why they should've given me an answer, and because they didn't is why I believe that I'm right with that statement.
I'm going to say this again.
You have your opinions... and I have mine. I'm not sure how many times I must say this until you understand it, but that is simply that.
YOU believe in God, but you do not honestly have a complete factual amount of knowledge that he exists. Human beings are programed to have emotions and feelings. Where that came from, I don't know, and I'm not suggesting 'God', but they are there. Love has nothing to do with it. Sure, someone can't explain it, because it's an inexplainable feeling, But it does exist. There's PROOF that it does. Look at people who spend their entire lives with each other. People who are completely faithful to each other for their entire lives from the day they wed and then some.
If a Christian cannot follow the 10 commandments, and that's why Jesus Christ died, then why would those rules still exist to this day?
That's basically saying "Here's the rules to be a good christian. Break them, take advantage of my constant acceptance to you, because regardless of how many times you commit adultry, it's ok! Because I'm Jesus Christ."
It just... makes no sense to me.
My statement:
What I'd like to know, though...
There are millions of other religions. Those who are not Christian... are not promised the same fortune as those who believe in Christianity, and follow every rule given by "God."
Was referring to the fact that there's no way people follow every rule of God.
The questions in my passage that I had asked were not directed towards any individual. They were merely unanswered questions, that I felt should be answered.
Let God decide, because I'm well aware that you can't.
You say that you praise God because of the things he's done for you.
What has he done for you?
Tell me exactly, because I'm not entirely aware of the fact that God controls people's every movement, decision, emotion and thoughts.
I was pretty sure that we have that to our own advantage.
No one but yourself commands you to do anything.
Everything you do is reflected off of your decisions. Not what God tells you to do.
If you are successful, it's because you wanted to become successful. If you are happy, it's because you wanted to become happy. If you are in love, it's because you wanted to have someone close to you that meant something and felt you meant something, back.
All the things you have... you have because you wanted it. Not because God made it happen.
