Like I said in another thread: between a universe appearing ex nihilo and
a prime mover designing it with a purpose, I'll go with the later. After all,
the geniuses who actually make humans take steps forward seem to be
convinced as well

Besides, it gives you something positive to look at when nearing your
deathbed or just viewing life in general: somehow, reincarnation sounds
yummy biggrin:[/quote:10c1c]

I don't know, heaven sounds incredibly boring, and an eternity is a long long time.

Again, I didn't say anything about believing in a simplistic heaven / hell
concept: I just said I believed in Gawd biggrin:

You cant have a reward if there isnt a test. If it was all good and peachy, why would we need a heaven? The horrible shit you are talking about is a test, if it was easy, how could you prove yourself worthy? Who do you respect more, the guys that have things handed to them or the ones that earn it the hard way? The bible talks of the afflictions of jobe and the sacrifices of abraham. Jesus was tested upon the cross and tempted by satan in the desert. These were tests of their faith so that they could prove themselves worthy. These arent just christian concepts. They are shared, under different guises, by many religions - islam, buddism, hindu, judiaism (sp?) and even the some of the animistic religions had these characteristics.

I also tend to agree with some of the anti-religion remarks, but differently than you might think. It is possible to believe in a god and evolution. It is possible to believe in the bible with thinking it is a nonstop factual account. Many on the anti religion establishment tend to point out the failings of fundementalists. I tend to agree with those arguements, but dont make the mistake of applying their beliefs to an entire religion.

Its all onboard, with an insufficiecnt power supply. If it isnt onboard, it had been welded to the motherboard. They suck and their ads are really annoying, but hell has a controlling market share.

Why don't you beileve in God?

Because he never exsisted. There is no satan no jesus christ. There is only the mind there is only danger. There was only one god and that was adolf hitler. Seig Heil! You are in control of your own mind and destiny.

I come not to try and push my opinions on anyone, or critizize anyone elses but here is what I truly feel...

I believe in GOD and my Lord Jesus, I confess that with my mouth, I know in my heart that throughout my life there has been only that one thing keeping me going in the right direction cool: .

At one time I didnt have God in my life and it was hell, but he was there all along the way as I believe he is in some of your lives who dont believe but He continues to have faith as I do in you. Say what you may want, I am not pushing these thoughts on anyone. But regardless of what anyone may say in my heart I feel the joy of the Lord and know that He is with me.

I have something I could witness to all day, what does someone with no belief witness to? Just a question... what can you witness to? What has helped you along the way?

Ill be honest. There have been times Ive prayed to god for things, and they have come true. So, for that, I believe there is a god.

What I dont believe in is religion. Yes, theres a god. No, there's not the whole system that was setup through the church, the bible, etc. That's my theroy anyways.
