"First Agnostic person I've seen on here... Since it's pretty you're either Christian or you're Atheist here, I'm pretty sure you've pissed everybody off. =P"Grab the pitch fork we are all indecent people here.(Sarcasm)
religion and atheism are wrong.the answer is gnostiscm
There are no fucking wrong Religions, they're all right to different people.
People who say athiests are wrong.. they are wrong, same with people who say Religious people are wrong.
I Choose to believe in fuck all as far as religions go.
"There are no fucking wrong Religions, they're all right to different people.People who say athiests are wrong.. they are wrong, same with people who say Religious people are wrong.I Choose to believe in fuck all as far as religions go."I went over it again and again, my words fall on deaf ears.
"diz said:"Not true - and shows how little you know outside your own Christian comfort zone. Buddhism is about neither self-fulfilment or self sacrifice.Here is a good quote "They do not feel that is was even necessary for Jesus to pay for our sins. The belief that they hold is that every man must bear and pay for his or her own sins; for Jesus to be punished and responsible for our sins would be unjust in their eyes. Christians believe that man had no ability to atone for his sins. Christians believe that we are hopelessly lost except for the immeasurable gift of God's grace, which is the only means of salvation. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). " Have I studied the ins and outs of all religions vs my religions no(I do not have that much time). In all my comparing it is all about bearing your own sins, which as humans is impossible. As for the Buddha thing, I will pull out another quote "Buddhism teaches that beings experience an endless cycle of death and rebirth. If a person doesn't attain goals in her lifetime, she will live again." The words about the person attaining goals is what I said up there self fulfillment and that is not in the Christen religion No juice will not rule the word (It may try but). 100th post "
Islam believes that only Allah can save you - snap. Pride is also a "disease" in Islam. Why is not Islam as credible as Christianity?
Why not only Allah can save you, rather than the Christian God? What makes you so sure, apart from your upbringing?
Not sure where you got your quote from buddhism about people "attaining "goals from - That certainly is not the popular conception of the faith. Perhaps you should read up about it a bit (like the stuff on annata, for instance). Perhaps you'd surprise yourself about how enlightened you really are.
As for the rest of your reply, you fail to respond to my point on the veracity of your belief system, against all the other belief systems practiced throughout the world's existence.
"God is just a defining word of the world's creation, something way beyond human comprehension...God ain't good, god ain't evil.Suffering is a choice, not an infliction. Pain is the worlds first educator, you're suppose to learn from it, whether physical or emotional. Suffering is what one feels when they choose to dwell on pain ( or fear the existence of it) rather then learn from it.Civilization's built around it's fear of pain and suffering, to the point where it's built a cage around itself. Some are comfortable in it's cage, others are not, and this can cause suffering it it's own society.Our evolution, or spontaneous genesis from two nekkid folk'n'an apple, gave us a self consciousness, civilization wrote the standards that have evolved unconscously in our minds. As we look at the world, mindfull of our social standards, and compare it with our own life we may see "suffering" but that's only how you choose to feel. In the end, it's humanity that inspires social suffering, not god. The idea that god is toying with us to watch us suffer, or even that god's trying to inspire us to "see the light", are both bunk ta me. Humanity's choice to give god that kind of human consciousness is just human vanity if you ask me."Well put.
Here is my standpoint for future refrence:
I believe in the possibility of a god existing, but I do not place my faith in something I do not certainly know is there without any substantial evidence. It just does not fly that way with me.
But I think it may be possible, but I do not have any faith in any gods. Until I know for sure, I do not think there is a god.
"Or you think it is"Same to you buddy. You are very arrogant. And the best part about your arrogance is that you can't see it so you sit on this thread believing in your rightness trying to prove or disprove something that can never be proved. Zealots...gotta love 'em!
that's why its called a leap of faith...there is no way to scientifically prove or disprove anything pertaining to god. I believe there is a god but i can also understand why people wouldn't believe.

Ok I know I'm probably a little late, and this has been said before, but the Bible clearly explains why their is evil. The world was created perfect. Humans were in a paradise, with unlimited food all around them, until a woman came into the world. God told Adam he could have anything except one tree. Then he disobeyed God because the woman got to his head. So God punished him, and made us have to start caring for ourselves and actually working.
I can't take a religion that believes in a talking snake seriously, to be honest. Like, people can be Christians. That's awesome for them, but don't go preaching your crazy religion to me, and saying Atheism is wrong. Because I seriously couldn't give a toss. MMK?

In case you were wondering, I was referring to Pat Robertson.

No, because I was a Non Christen before and became saved. I look on you with pity and that is why I am post here and now. When Jesus cam he ate with the tax collectors and humbled himself to the point of death for us rotten humans.

diz, I don't feel bad for yall, or feel superior. It's your choice. We've all had our doubts. I just feel like we're here for a reason. We can't have life and free will by accident, someone had to give it to us. How could life be created from a compressed ball of gases and metals?

I find most major religions hilarious, with Christianity topping that list off. I just find them so ridiculously selective with what they choose to acknowledge I can't help but laugh.
