I find that if there is a god, for all that is going on in the world, and all this corruption he has let happen in his name all around the world, he's a sadist.

wouldn't u follow god if god came on earth and said im god and if who doesn't follow me would go to hell?

well yes, the main factor of believing in God is in faith, I mean you can try to prove God's existiance and wut not, but all evidence seems to lead to one common thing, and that is faith.

Agreed.


no.
thats stupid, "do as i say or you go to hell."
that makes god seem like a straight-up asshole.


See, i find it hard to believe or have faith in something that i can't see or prove to exist.
Not trying to diss your beliefs or anything, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

My personal relationship with God was believing in him even when I had doubts. Now? I don't. I've been known since I was a child to question everything infront of me, and now, am more notorious than ever for this. I do question the entire fabric of society, and think it would be MUCH better without religion.

Are you telling me that our sins have something to do with the time we die? I can call this false right here. I know of some of the BEST people who have died too early for their own good. And some assholes who deserve to die for all they have done are still breathing. Death isn't fair, and anyone who tries to justify that by saying that they sinned so their time is up is wrong with the way I've seen life and death.

The church was demonically influenced? But, oh, wait, weren't they supposed to PROTECT Christians and Catholics from all demonic harm? I wouldn't feel too safe if I believed in this.

No, Creation and Evolution actually are opposing. Creation believes that humanity evolved from God's devine whim, while Evolutionism is based on the fact that humans evolved from different organisms. Two very contradicting beliefs.

Bringing up what Zane had said prior to this, there are actually proven statements that say that incest causes mutations. Why wasn't Jesus mutated? Oh! Maybe that explains his divinity, sorry to sound offensive. I'm serious. That could explain how he could do these "abnormal" things. Huh. You know, I am a genious.

Then how come a lot of Christians and Catholics choose to "Convert" to their way of seeing God? If, in fact, it is still "God" in the other religions? Tsk tsk. Contradictions, contradictions, contradictions.

Oh, believe me, dear, I've had sex before and I've been called quite gifted. But that's a new story for Chop Suey. My suggestion is after this, go there, and read my recent posts. But, this post was pretty orgasmic. Look at all the raped and satisfied on here.

You're still in high school, right? Do your parents know that you're sexually active?

surprise, surprise. ive known people who were sexually active at age 14, her waiting till she was in high school is alot better than most people.

Im not a bible know-it-all, but wasn't the bible translated by someone into all of the different languages? how do we know they didnt change some of the text, thus corrupting 'gods word'.

I don't know why I expected more of a sense of responsibility from Vicinity. Maybe because she has so much potential with that quick mind of hers.

I knew one girl who got pregnant when she was thirteen. Her Dad beat her with a stiff rubber tube until she aborted. She missed almost a month of school with her injuries.

There are many translations of the Bible. Among them are translations with the original Greek, Hebrew and/or Aramaic. There are also translations that come with studies of the actual translations. Many people have serious issues with the accuracy of some translations. I take issue with the omission of certain books from the standard accepted version of the Bible. For example, I feel that the books of Japher and Enoch should be published with the Bible.

i don't think you can judge a persons responsibility without actually knowing the person.
and are you saying rae isn't responsible because she decided to have sex?

Thats called child abuse, and i can only hope she wasnt left in her fathers custody.

ok then... how do we know the original language well enough that we could get a accurate translation out of it.

Of course it's child abuse. I don't remember what happened to her Dad, but as this was a small, rural midwestern community in the mid-1970s, I doubt if he was prosecuted.
