Dunno, Tpt... That's why I like Buddhism... You can be atheist and Buddhist... And the best thing is, you don't have to accept every aspect of the philosophy, only what you believe to be true.

sorry hun, but you're making an assumption on the religion is why i said, read the other post. cuz we were talking about the peeps in the twin towers and what they said, about their God.

The reasoning was the same!
Its not that different!

Yea Budhism is cool.

Except when you have to memorize all the sects and the path's and stuff for History, Then It sucks!

I'm sorry you feel that way about God. But think about Job in the bible and the things he went thru, Job hung in there not matter what, and looked what happened. He multiplyd everything of Jobs.
I'll tell you a story about myself, I served God as a Kid every time I prayed God always answered my prayers, No matter what it was I asked, He was so awesome and done so much for me, But....I turned my back on God and walked away from him.
I got my life back on track about 4 or so years ago, when i prayed do you thk god answered me right away? NO he didn't, why? Cuz of the way I took advantage of him before, I was NOT rooted and grounded in the Word of God, and I walked away from him. So, this time when i came back, I honestly believe God wanted to know: Are you going to serve me this time, and if you are how bad do you want to? To get to the place where I am now w/God was very hard....I struggled But I told God this time, I will NOT walk away from you, I will serve you no matter what. Yes, he does answer my prayers, he just doesn't give everything to me right away like he did when i was a kid, cuz i was selfish and took advantage of that. I've grown up and i've matured in God now. He will teach you, he will lead you, guide you, and fill you with things you lack. Trust in him and have faith in him, NO matter what. HE's there!!!

And tell me, how is it that you know any of the events in Jobs actually happened? WITHOUT referencing the Bible?

I'm sorry, but there's something about this whole blind faith thing that just strikes me as bullshit... What if I had a kid, and he got some disease, and I prayed with every fiber of my being, and I believed 100% that God would save him if I just had FAITH.... And then the kid died? Would God still be able to save me, teach me, lead me, guide me, and fill me with things I lacked? 😱 Somehow the thing I had been praying for being dead kinda ruins the whole idea. It was a nice one though, while it lasted... 🙁

How do you know the things you think God has gifted to you "over time" were not just luck biting you in the ass? Maybe I will burn in hell for all eternity... Too bad for me, I guess. 🙁

🙄 you just said What if... ...

...so What if God saved him? 🙄 🙂

I realized writing that post that somebody was going to say that. I know a person who that very thing happened to... So don't try to tell me I just made it up.

🙄 Well, it depends to the person to whom it had happened to. If he did blamed God for what happen to his kid or to his family, then sorry for him. 🙄 He would probably blame and mock God for the rest of his life. That would be his choice. But he still has a better choice... return to God ... if not ... then let himself forever condemn his life. How pitiful choice would that been. 🙄

there is only 1 God, Finti is trying to say, that the God I serve is the same god that they call Allah, and it's not it's a false God they serve. My god is not evil!!
what strike me is the arrogance shown when we talk about faith and believes, it aint more than a matter of opinion so to call someones believe false is nothing but plain arrogance and ignorance. My personal view toward religion I keep to myself cause it is my view, but if I were to share it I would offend the hell out of the religious people, regardless religion.

Finit is trying to say, thats the same God i serve, it's NOT my God is NOT evil.
No he aint evil, according to the bible he wiped the earth clean of people with an exception of a chosen family.
So the fact that a lot of innocent children and infants getting killed aint an evil act it is just cause this god regretted his actions so he gave us a rainbow for consolation toward his action. This all loving god might not be all loving due to the fact he had a chosen people, and they could kill and conquer what they wanted even if they just received some rules, like 10 of them, where one of the rules clearly stating that Thou shall not kill. Guess they were the exception to the rule cause god loved them just a little bit more.

So who serve the right god then, protestants or catholics

So not seeing it the christian way is pitiful?

Being a Christian is not pitiful finti. no2 .. not pitiful.

🙄 and, indeed, you are. 😐

Being a Christian is not pitiful finti. .. not pitiful and, indeed, you are.
read what I wrote you ignorant fool I asked if it was pitiful to not see it the christian way, you obvious do.

🙄 ... So, I'll rephrase my answer ... Pity are those who do not understand what being a Christian is all about. All they can do is mock. 🙂

Pity are those who do not understand what being a Christian is all about
it aint really that much to understand dont overestimate the christian way of living.

... and mock ... and mock. 🙄

well if the truth is mocking so be it

😂

Good point. Also, after god wiped the earth clean and sent the dove with the olive branch to noah, what had changed? I can't remember. Was the point of that story just to instill a fear of god in the common man?

Fiery Eyes, have you ever even considered the possibility that god does not exist?

I think her posts speaks for itselfs regarding that question
