Pat Robertson supports abortion and ran an MLM scam and keeps 90%
of the money they raise on telethons
Ted Haggard ran the Bush Monday AM Prayer services in the Wh and was
ass banging his Male Meth dealer and was making 5 yr old kids pray to
cardboard figures of George Bush
2 things in life: The Religion crowd and Gays ... do your thing but keep it

George Carlin and Bill Maher are 2 fellas I've come to respect as I went to a Catholic HS/ College and most of the Priests are sexual predators and go read David Kuo's book called TEMPTING FAITH on how the Evangelical base got conned into voting for Bush 2 times
It is a great book and makes ya realize the religious crowd is as gullible as it gets

Re: Do you believe in God?
God does indeed exist and he (or she) is in control of your life every second of the day.
We live in a country that controls it's people through religious laws and for that it doesn't matter if your an atheist you have to live a religious life to a great degree.
The human mind has by itself put God on this planet. When 5 billion believe in this God "that invented a mess of a world and must love it when his people suffer" When so many people have engraved this picture of a "Creator" or God in their minds and millions and millions give their only lives away to this "Idea" then again God does exist and he exist to an extent that should blow the mind of any sane human.
The "idea" of the world having a Creator is smart because something has created this world and everything that comes from it, but it doesn't point to a single "human like" God that controls everything.
But God does exist. But his existence is only in the minds that want him to exist. And it's has gone so far as to dictate the way we are controlled and that might be the reason it was invented in the first place.
It's mind control to the highest degree.

Re: Do you believe in God?
I believe in the God in the Bible. Having not been brought up in any church or with any specific denomination or faith, I took it upon myself to read the Bible on my own - to see what it said to me, not the interpretation fo the closest clergy.
I don;t espouse a denominational religion, but I believe there is a God, a supreme being who knows us and wants us to know Him. My faith some days is as easy as being able to see, yet having zero idea how my own eyes work. Some days faith is as difficult as "why me"?
Hope that helps?

Re: Do you believe in God?
Not at all. To me there is nothing more silly than religion.
To me it's like this: Even if there is, why should I care? Does it effect my life at all knowing if there is or not? Nope, so I have zero interest in the topic. Anybody can write a silly book and make it an official religion. All that shit is are different opinions about a pretty useless topic.

So, you think that there's a homo sapien sitting up in the clouds somewhere that's defying all gravity and logic? Is this homo sapien living in Kansas?
Or, are you saying that your 'supreme being' isn't actually a homo sapien?
Its just so confusing.

Re: Do you believe in God?
The real problem I have with believing in a God is it is a very selfish thing to want.
I would love for a god to exist, but for a strange reason.
Deep down most humans are scared to die. Having a supreme being that can save you is obviously something that can be too good to be true, right?
I mean if believing in God and or Jesus can extend your existence then how can you pass that up? But that's the problem with it all.
We die and it's over. No big deal if you live your life to the fullest.
Sucks if you spend even 1 minute thing about death. And thinking about God is doing that exact thing. How can so many humans be so worried about death when you can't do a thing about it?
That I don't understand.
And for that single reason I think religious humans are screwed up in their heads and don't really want to die and God gives them a way out.
It's too good to be true and it's no wonder so many humans accept God with open arms. Why wouldn't they?
Nobody wants to die

Re: Do you believe in God?
You believe or you don't. Nobody really has a clue. I am sure that if Sportgirl or Pioneer had been born in Saudi Arabia, they would believe that the Koran is the word of God, and that Allah is the one true god.
The best you can hope for in this lifetime, is to treat people the way you want to be treated. If there is a God, she will appreciate it.
Anyway, everybody knows that Maynard is God.

They have been arguing this for thousands of years, and nobody has figured it out yet. Don't count on it happening soon.

Re: Do you believe in God?
If I had to believe in higher beings, I would believe more in the many gods of ancient Greece or Rome. Those gods were in constant conflict with each other, and that would explain the constant turmoil here on earth.
It is as good as any other fairy tale.
The scariest thing that man can contemplate (other than the return of Journeyman to this forum) is that when we die, THAT'S IT.
The only fly in the ointment to non-believers, is how the universe got started. Every process has one beginning point. What was it? We really have no clue.

Re: Do you believe in God?
I don't think God lives in Kansas, FK, but perhaps he visits?
Faith is a personal thing and I can tell you that if you are looking, seeking that is, your best bet is the Bible. Read it for yourself, on your own.
Romans 10:17: So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Also, the Bible talks about faith without "seeing" - which is what faith is all about.
John 20:29: Jesus said to him, ?Thomas,<SUP class=footnote value='[d]'>[d]</SUP> because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.?

Re: Do you believe in God?
SG, I think you know me to be a non-believer. However let's assume that the Bible is indeed 100% fact. Now besides the fact that I don't believe therefore don't go to church,confess sins,pray etc., let's assume that I live mostly by the Bible's preachings. Another words generally speaking I treat people better than I expect them to treat me, way more of a giver than a taker, and just and all around good guy ( we are still assuming here:+textinb3). Do you think God would except me on judgement day as he would a true Christian or would the fact that I'm a non-believer be too much of a no-no? Would He possibly even see me in a higher light being that He knows that I was a good guy just to be a good guy as apposed to the Christians that are good people partial because of their fear of God (not saying that is the case with any Christian here but just assuming it's possible)?

Re: Do you believe in God?
Good and interesting question, Ray. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God - as I only came to believe after reading it on my own - then it goes about like this:
You believe, repent and get baptized. upon you baptism - as a believeing repenting adult - you receive the Lord's holy Spirit. It is this Spirit the Lord recognized upon your death.
However, while the Old Testament was all about "rule" ie the 10 comandments, the New Testament is about faith and the Lord knowing your heart. I would never presume to know the mind of the Lord, but I do believe He knows each of our hearts.

Re: Do you believe in God?
Unfortunely for some, that phrase isn't actually in the Bible. When asked what to do to be saved, after they had asked for the death of the Christ, here is the answer given:
Acts 2: <SUP>36</SUP> ?Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.?
<SUP class=versenum id=en-NKJV-26981 value="37">37</SUP> Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ?Men and brethren, what shall we do??
<SUP class=versenum id=en-NKJV-26982 value="38">38</SUP> Then Peter said to them, ?Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. <SUP class=versenum id=en-NKJV-26983 value="39">39</SUP> For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.?

- I don't care how much "good" stuff you do, you still can't go to heaven. You are dead in tresspasses and sins. Your good deeds do not commend you to God in any way. You've ignored Him chosing to live life the way YOU see fit.
- But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6)
According to the above verse, we still come up short even when we try to do good deeds BECAUSE we are not doing them under God's authority. We do them cause WE think they are good. We ignore what God says.
"But I never killed anybody and I'm not a dope addict!" You're still a spiritual crook. You have broken the GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE BIBLE and you are as guilty as a harlot, a whoremonger, a killer, a thief and a liar. What is the greatest commandment? Matthew 22:36-38 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind. THIS is the first and great commandment.
