joey go say his opinions/queries though pleasies.
OK..
1. You said the reward of Heaven is a pretty big reason. If i became Christian for that wouldn't it be selfish, only believing in some guy( who in my inner core i don't), just to get into heaven.
2. As a more scientific person, i asked my friend what this companionship is, can he see God with him, like an invisible friend. Does he hold conversations with God. Or... has he made himself believe something grater is watching him and somehow cares for him. He told me he does speak to God and that i could too. Since that would be my ultimate proof and i would believe in a God if he truly talked to me. I seriously sat with my friend and prayed with him for God to come to me that day or in my sleep and talk with me. Now that didn't happen, you might say because i had a closed mind, but i was generally interested to see if his strong belief is true, surely if God wanted me to believe he would have come?
3. Isn't this quite negative? If a family member dies, surely my friends and family should help me through it, i should not isolate myself and stay with God. Also again does he literally speak to you to comfort you, i am never given true examples of what he says.
4. Not exactly fair. Surely as a Christian you live for God, as an Atheist, all i can live for is other people, helping my own kind. Also in a way, doesn't the fact that, to me, this world came about by evolution and looking at the tiny percentages this happened. I would actually find the world and the animals that evolved even more amazing? But again you get depressive people where ever you go.
5. Interesting, so these drinks materialized or... they were already there, your Uncle hadn't told you and you happened to look under his jacket after you prayed? Was this your favorite flavor juice? I would have assumed God would give plain water, since that was his "invention".
6. At the end you enforce the Heaven bit, to me it is the main attraction to religion, i mean w all fear death. But it seems a self centered reason to join, just to save my ass. I'm not going to ignore all my beliefs for that, i'm sorry gut like i said before, i can't believe in something, i can't believe in.
7. About the drink again, you asked for it, God gave you it.
Can you tell me why you got a drink when you didn't NEED it, but in the case that i give, the persons prayer was not answered.
Ok two years ago now my mum got breast cancer. Luckily it hadn't spread but at the same time it wasn't exactly the most non aggressive cancer there is or anything. The majority of my family isn't religious. MY mum is rather agnostic, but at the age of 7, when i questioned Santa, i also questioned God, so i was/am more Atheist. The only very strong Christian was my Dads mum( died last year, very bad heart attacks). She prayed that my mum wouldn't have to have a partial mastectomy, which the doctors had said would have to be most of her breast tissue, that the radiotherapy itself would cure her. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and they actually had to do a partial mastectomy on both breasts as they feared the other one had cancer cells too.
Now praying to God taht she woldn't have to lose her Breats and have implants wasn't exactly a selfish prayer, your begging for drink when you truly didn't NEED it would slightly more selfish. So was it because my mum was not Christian that God didn't get rid of her cancer, or because my mum having her breasts removed was part of some plan of his?( don't see what plan that could be in all honesty).
Apart from not being a Christian, my mum is like the nicest person i know. She et my dad stay with us even after he left us for three years while he was depressed, then he left again and doesn't like her. Yet she still isn't angry at him!( i am). She hardly ever gets cross, she works really hard, although she works in Genetics, is it punished for her working in a sinful science, although she using bacteria only, not stem cells or anything, and it could cure diseases.
I just don't understand why God gives you Juice and wouldn't help my mum get over cancer without mastectomy's, oh and PLEASE PLEASE don't give me " Oh but God stopped the cancer spreading" SHIT! The doctors did! If she hadn't of gone to the doctors she would probably be dead right now as they had caught it when it spread to both breasts, lymph nodes would have been next. On top of that she has to have hormone suppressants because it's a cancer that feeds on estrogen, so she suffers from hot sweats and nightmares and constantly migraines because of a hormone imbalance she has to save to stop the cancer coming back.
I'm sorry if i'm getting angry and attacking now but thinking about it again has made me upset, why did you deserve bloody nice juice when you didn't need it and she didn't deserve her breasts! WTF is that, again is it because she isn't Christian? So God is all loving, but only to those who worship him i suppose. The rest really can go to Hell eh? I can really feel the love, Jesus tells us to love everyone no matter what, i guess God doesn't follow that though. AARGH
