[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="clayron"] I disagree with the love thing. As the bible puts it: God's love is amazingly unconditional, which is heavily argued. Human love is anything but, its based on a number of conditions and can end just as quickly as it begins. Its just a series of chemicals in the body that make humans feel a certain way (love) towards something else. Now bud, I believe in God, but I do not think love is an example he exist. I just believe he does, I can not explain it, but something is there that makes me believe.clayron
Really? God's love is unconditional? Because it seems to me like putting someone in the agonizing fire of hell for eternity is a pretty cruel thing to do to people that you love. I mean, I could understand this argument if you were Jewish and didn't believe in eternal hell, but it doesn't work so well with Christians.

I am Christian, and I think the idea of an eternal burning hell is complete BS, and is due to something being added and/or severely taken out of context. I don't want to go into it, but that's what is it. And if you read my posts correctly, I said "As the bible puts it...which is heavily argued" One argument against God's unconditional love is that he once said he hated someone. Now, I am not given you the complete picture, and I probably should, but if unconditional love exist there should not be hate. I do not think God can be accurately defined by anything. Do I think he is loving? Hell Yeah. Do I think his love is unconditional? I don't know how God views love, God may have a different view of love than what I believe. So, I have no real way to answer this question. If forced to chose I would say, "Yes, but because of reasons I won't go into because I do not want the crap storm.

So you pick and choose what to believe?

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] No, It's not. Not everything in this world can have "Empirical Evidence", scientists still aren't fully capable of understanding how the Human Brain functions. Do you still believe it functions on the scale they say, even if they haven't proven it yet?

I neither believe nor disbelieve it. I don't pretend to know that which can not be known.
u guys think the world has treated u bad i guess . And that u blame that on god. Everybody has started out beleving in God but im guessing the worlds treating you so bad that youve lost faith in god .Just my 2 centswickedwaffle
1: We are all born atheists, it is only through the teachings of man that we come to believe in what we believe.. 2: That makes no sense...you blame god by...not believing that one exists?:lol: 3: Couldn't be more wrong, I personally have had a good life, I just see can't stand arrogently pretending to know the unknowable. :) 34: lol

Well see...if you don't believe in eternal hell, then that changes things. Sorry for being presumptuous and assuming you did, but you really can't blame me; that is what most of Christians believe.

Everything is just in perfect balance.The birds singing the wind trees the flowers the world is beautiful..This all cant just happen by chance..I mean really come on just because you dont see it doesnt mean its not there.Everybody has a mind a brain a soul a voice that tells them right or wrong god gave everybody free will.And besides ive rather believe in something than not beieving in anything at all.Some atheists act like christians fear death and worry about it..We dont fear it we welcome it when our time comes to be with our family.And you guys think christians follow the rules without disobeying we dont god forgives us.I just dont get how you guys dont believe in God

wickedwaffle

if god gave everybody free will (which means we can make our own decisions without the help of anyone/anything else), then how can god be omnipotent? he would know everything, the past, the present, the future, which means he would know everything we are going to do, so if he already knows what we are going to do, how are we free?

Perfect balance my ass. You know how messed up nature and humans can be? Why does a balanced, peace loving God allow poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease?SgtKevali

Why did a balanced, peace loving god create humans in the first place?

That's my main problem with believing in god.

Why create something that is just going to destroy Earth.

Let me ask you this: if God is all-knowing, then it goes without saying that he knows the future. If we have free will then we can do what we want, and we're not bonded by anything. If God knows the future, how can that be? If I'm at a fork in the road and I can legitimately go left or right, how can God know which path I'll choose before I've chosen myself?

I find it crazy that you can believe in god. There is zero proof to show that god exists, and some books written by man are not very convincing.Id rather live my life on my terms. As for it being an accident, id say its more likely to believe that we just don't have the scientific knowledge yet to decipher why it all happened. In 6000 years the Bible and all other religions will still be the same (unless of course people finally abandon religion which is happening more and more as time passes), but our understanding of our universe will have grown immensely.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="tigertechie"][QUOTE="jalexbrown"] Do you ever stop to ponder why God would allow us to destroy his perfectly created world? Or why an all-knowing God would instruct Adam to not eat from the Tree of Wisdom, already knowing that he would eat from it? Or what ever happened to the REAL miracles, like Moses parting the seas to escape Egypt during the Exodus?

Satan tricked Adam and Eve. God warned them.

Satan tricked them (you say), yes, but God is all-knowing...which means God would have known that Satan was going to trick them, correct?

Also, according to christian belief, god created ALL...including Lucifer. And due to his omnipotence, god would have known that Luficer would rebel and deceive humans, and did nothing about it. Therefore god is responsible for this, anyway.

For me personally I never believed in god. I think my parents are Christians but they never attended church or had us pray before a meal or had Christian symbols around home. Basically there was nothing being forced on me or against me. The concept of religion wasn't a big deal. It wasn't until seeing other families that were more religious that I was more aware of people truly believing in god. Still any time there was prayer or something along those lines I just went through the motions of "play" instead of thinking that it was a very serious moment of showing belief. I got older and whatnot and hearing about religions and beliefs I came to my conclusion of "I'm kinda shocked that people are really this religious. It seems so out there and goofy". So here I am 20 years old and I feel that I will never be converted to any religion and will forever be an atheist who has no issue withother people being religious. On aside note Christianity kind of creeped me out as a child. Seeing Jesus on the cross and paintings of people loking miserable made me not want to visit churches and I remember I told my aunt to put down a picture of a "St. Something" because "that scary lady keeps looking at me while I'm trying to sleep" haha

Yeah, pretty much. But I accept that the odds of getting even one pious member of this thread to accept or even consider that logic is slim to none.

Ha, I guess you can say so. Look at the OT & the NT and you'll see inconsistencies. Hell being a major one. I have posted before why I do not believe in Hell. 1. God claims that the heavens and the Earth will not always be. So, if the heavens and the earth are not forever, why in the hell would Hell exist forever. That seems like God is punishing people for the sake of being evil. 2. Bible claims that all things return to God. If Hell exists then apparently that statement is a blatant lie. 3. Eternal damnation did not take prominence until the NT was established. Why are those of the Old Testament not so concerned with Hell? 4. The wages of sin is death. If you have paid for your sins through your death, punishing you for all eternity seems ridiculous. You are clearly punishing people who have paid their debt to you. Again punishment for the sake of punishment, that's evil.

As food for thought, i submit to you that the beauty and ridiculously accurate order of Saturn's rings is the result of complete chaos and natural processes, as observed via telescope. If something as bizarre, beautiful and ordered as Saturn's rings can occur through pure coincidence and chance, why is it so ridiculous to not believe in a creator?

I think the universe seems orderly and balanced. Things tend to work with seemingly no intervention. Mankind may not be orderly, but the universe seems to work just fine.

If God created everything, then why is like 99.99999999999% of the universe completely inhospitable?

GabuEx
Not to get us too far off track, but isn't that a bit presumptuous? We can't conclude with certainty what percentage of the universe is inhospitable. Just because a planet couldn't be inhabited by humans doesn't mean that it couldn't be inhabited by something else with different needs from our own.

We also can't say what percentage of the universe is empty space, because we've not seen all of it. But, admittedly, I'm just nit-picking on that. :P

I think it's really simple to get. You look outside and see all this stuff that "must" prove God exists. I look outside I see how evolution and other biological occurrences have happened to create the world. You see birds singing, you think it's balance. I see birds singing, I think that birds are communicating with each other and the sound is just beautiful to our ears. I am a very scientific person. I need to see something to believe something. I used to believe in God, but then I started realizing. Where is the evidence that God did anything? The Bible isn't proof. Anyone can right a book. Sorry for quoting Assassin's Creed here, but "Nothing is true...everything is permitted." Now look at evidence for evolution and the like. There is tons and tons of undeniable evidence. In reality, the only thing keeping evolution a theory and not a law is that there are just too many other things that haven't been proved yet (like religion). Evolution is accepted basically as a law, but it is called a theory. How can you deny that these things, with so much evidence supporting them, are not actually true? Another thing that someone already brought up. We look back to Greek times and wonder how they could ever believe that all those gods lived on Mt. Olympus. To us, it seems absurd, because we know that it isn't true. Yet back then, they didn't see how anyone could believe that the gods didn't exist. I believe we are in the same state of mind. We believe that there is a god there because we don't know how things can happen. The same as the Greeks. The didn't know how lightning happened, so they assumed it was a god. Err...no. We all know how lightning forms, so we know that it isn't a god. In a few hundred years, our ancestors may be looking at us and saying, "How did they not realize that miracles are only coincidences?"

[QUOTE="SgtKevali"]

[QUOTE="clayron"] I am Christian, and I think the idea of an eternal burning hell is complete BS, and is due to something being added and/or severely taken out of context. I don't want to go into it, but that's what is it. And if you read my posts correctly, I said "As the bible puts it...which is heavily argued" One argument against God's unconditional love is that he once said he hated someone. Now, I am not given you the complete picture, and I probably should, but if unconditional love exist there should not be hate. I do not think God can be accurately defined by anything. Do I think he is loving? Hell Yeah. Do I think his love is unconditional? I don't know how God views love, God may have a different view of love than what I believe. So, I have no real way to answer this question. If forced to chose I would say, "Yes, but because of reasons I won't go into because I do not want the crap storm.clayron

So you pick and choose what to believe?

Ha, I guess you can say so. Look at the OT & the NT and you'll see inconsistencies. Hell being a major one. I have posted before why I do not believe in Hell. 1. God claims that the heavens and the Earth will not always be. So, if the heavens and the earth are not forever, why in the hell would Hell exist forever. That seems like God is punishing people for the sake of being evil. 2. Bible claims that all things return to God. If Hell exists then apparently that statement is a blatant lie. 3. Eternal damnation did not take prominence until the NT was established. Why are those of the Old Testament not so concerned with Hell? 4. The wages of sin is death. If you have paid for your sins through your death, punishing you for all eternity seems ridiculous. You are clearly punishing people who have paid their debt to you. Again punishment for the sake of punishment, that's evil.

well the Bible dont say that and well only one thing to say all of you just go read it like a child reads a book openly treat it like you have no opinion thats how i read it and im not doing great but hey im alive unlike some othr ppl

The argument I hear the most against God is "There's no empirical evidence" :/

Without Faith there would be no Religion.

So by proving religion, thus eliminating faith, I can make religion disappear in a puff of logic.

and if I ever disprove religion I can make religion disappear

Damn well I know which side of the argument I am leaning towards.

Why would something perfect create so much imperfection?

For teh lolz.

So a perfect God has enough downtime to watch us suffer for His amusement? How very uplifting.

Ok, I have no idea what the hell you are trying to say. But, if you are saying that I am wrong, I can actually find and post the verses.
