Christianity, why deny it

when many think of christianity they think of the Church but there is really so much more to it. its about having a personal relationship with God himself. I dont know how people live their lives thinking things are only real if they can be explained scientifically but you must look beyond that. if one looks at the Old testament you will see that it is the only book of prophecies to ever be 100% fulfilled without being wrong. its not really about seeing is believing because quoting from the bible"Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'" (John 20:29).

i know many of you on here are atheist and believe that religion is just a way to keep the masses from going crazy but i honest to God believe that is wrong. i believe that many of you are just scared of the unknown or dont even try.

so why deny it? its all around us

Correction, it's all around you.

because there are other religions too

Nostradamus's writings have never been proven wrogn either. The reason? Because the writings are so vague that they could mean pretty much anything. As it is with the passages in the bible.

So is obesity

I'm scared of a god that sends me to hell.

Why? I was basically raised Christian started at about the age of 9. I took to it really fast. But then slowly, through pain and experience in my own life. I've decided to not trust a God I don't believe cares about me.

You're right, it is all around me, and I wish it'd would go away and leave me alone.LightR

Illogical.

what makes the christian god more real than all the other gods of the world?

but whatever you can believe whatever makes you feel better, I just dont wanna hear the preaching.

On a side-note, this is why astrology is still a thriving business today.

many of you are just scared of the unknown or dont even try.

And I think you've got that backwards.

I will deny it, you cant prove if God exists.

Thank you for your inquiry. This is a profound question indeed.

So many religious threads tonight. This is just what I need: an excuse to focus even less on my homework.:P

Hey here's a thought....how about keeping your religion to yourself and not push it onto others.keep your mouth shut...why deny it?

if you look at how everything happened in the universe you cant trace it back to one thing and thats why science isnt successful coming up with a reason as to why everything happened. most other gods besides greek and roman gods were created hundreds of years after the death of christ. science is just as much a belief system as religion is when it comes to how everything happensboba707

Or perhaps I just don't care...? And even if he came down from the heavens I still wouldn't care that is if there is a God

if you look at the muslim religion all it really is, is a copycat of several other religions. look what happens in the end of the Koran. mohamoud flys away on a pegasus. the new testament isnt full of legends and innacuracy. it is full of things that were very real at the time such as roman law. boba707

Christianity does not come up with a reason for why everything happens either. It merely pushes the first cause back one by saying God created everything, then not giving the cause of God (the Bible cops out by saying he has always existed:roll:). Science, however, actually does have a solution to this problem. Causality was meaningless in the pre-Big Bang mass. General relativity broke down and things did not have to follow the laws of our universe or happen for any kind of reason. Therefore, the Big Bang did not happen for any kind of reason as we understand it. There really didn't have to be a first cause in this case.

I'm not scared of the unknown, I believe in ghosts and the supernatural, I know there's countless things out there that science doesn't understand yet and many more that we'll never understand because our understanding is extremely limited.

I am a spiritual person, I am even open to the possibility of a higher power (maybe conscious, maybe not), I just don't believe what any of the organized religions tell me, because they are man-made. Priests, regardless of their title, are humans just like me, and they are just as clueless as I am, no matter how desperately they'd like to believe otherwise. The simple truth is humans just don't have the answers, and a title of priest coupled with some fancy clothing and a 2000-year-old book aren't going to change that.

Wrong. Science is open to improvement and re-evaluation. Religion is not.

Not to mention that Science is not about worshipping a god.

Isn't it possible that all religions still stem from one Truth that while every religion and ideology got part of right, much could have been misinterpreted based soley on incomprehension. MystikFollower

Muhammad was illiterate, and he had never studied any other religion. Also, he didn't fly on a Pegasus. I have no idea where you got that from.

Also, what does Islam have to do with Christianity in this topic?

Hahhaha,

You DO REALISE that Christianity, Judaism and Islam ALL STEM FROM THE SAME STORY right? They are simply 3 different forms of worship. They all worship the same god.

im saying my religion is the truth and what if me and all the other millions of christians are wrong,we have nothing to lose but all you nay sayers have everything to loseboba707

I agree with the statement about keeping it to yourself and quit trying to push it off on people.

What you lose is freedom and free thought.

Consider this. If you had been born in India, would you have ended up a Christian?

Not when you have to go to a Catholic school and Religion is a mandatory subject. :(

Yeah, I'm not sure I should get involved here.
