So aside from ignorance of the real world, this religion is all about needing an imaginary friend to hold your hand through life? Or am I missing something? |

Live to fish, fish to live!

I know exactly where I am going when I die and no, i'm not afraid of death. |

That's right! You're going to hell because you didn't worship Allah and pray to mecca 5 times a day. |

I really like you Stoned, but why not leave this thread? It should be for people (Christian and otherwise) who just want to be built up in their beliefs even if they don't completely agree on certain points. Why not start a new thread for debates if you find something here that seems questionable (or laughable) to you? |
|
I really like you to Zhaylin but I have to say that I find it not just questionable or indeed even laughable but downright dangerous to subjugate one's capability for rational thought to 'belief'. I recognize that this is for people that want to be 'built up in their belief' and I think that that's dangerous. |

So we agree on some things |

Here's today's daily text. |

I believe in God, but not for the comfort that he'll burn all of my enemies in hell while I chill out in heaven. |

The starz...
The planets...
The intricate and dynamic machinery of nature...
Are you saying,
that all of this was created,
BY A MONKEY??????

Dave, why do you think belief is a choice? Since you keep claiming it is, please do something for a lot of us. Believe for five minutes that you are a billionaire. Truly, sincerely believe it. Then, leave a post about what it was like to believe you were a billionaire. I'm serious. Will you do that? If you do, it will help some of us reconsider the idea of choosing to believe in God. I really want to understand your idea about choosing to believe. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
Universal, I already feel as if I am a billionaire just knowing Jesus as my Lord and Savior. |

Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.
There is no such thing as blind faith, and I wish someone would officially retire this nonsense expression. Every single believer in Christ has a reason they believe. |
|
Thanks Dave and Kingerman. |

Dave, why do you ignore my issue? You seem like you want to preach, so why not help me out with what I am wondering? I am bringing up an honest issue, and if you have a good answer, it could clear up a whole lot for me. Ignoring it is not very polite or helpful of you. |

UM, do you think maybe you could take it up with him in PM? |

This shit never happens to me
No, everyone wants to see this. |
