I'm watching YouTube and relaxing.

I think you look cute though.

But does any of this have anything to do with God's existence or your own beliefs? Are you really so disrespectful of people like me who have faith in God that you HAVE to disprove his existence or you HAVE to disprove the bible's legitimacy?

 

Gods and religion generally don't need to be disproved, because the people involved generally think that their belief in god is a result of righteous faith.

I feel personally compelled to reject something like faith. It's a romantic notion that has no place in a person's world view. It's based entirely on personal bias and cultural tradition, and should simply be disregarded when looking for the truth.

That's my opinion.

Then how do you explain DNA codes? How do you explain how the world started? How do you explain how the trees filter oxygen for us to breathe? How do you explain why the earth has such good conditions? How do you explain life itself and the energy flowing through us that enables us to have these thoughts at all?

The more we find out about the Earth and life itself, the more I find reasons to believe there must be a God. It might be a romantic notion, but to me it's reality. For me, the proof of God's existence is everywhere.

I am not convinced that God exists because the bible says so, I am convinced because to me, he has to exist. I can't imagine a world without God, and I don't understand why people feel the need to claim he doesn't exist. I don't have to rely on the bible to force my views down people's throats, because to me, the world itself is proof of God's existence. But yeah, whatever you choose to believe is up to you, and I respect that, as long as you respect that I have a need to believe in God and I don't see it as wrong to do so. I see it as a natural part of the human psyche.

People have the right to make up their own mind and I think that should go both ways.

Which is like saying you believe that "The Return of the King" is great, but "The Fellowship of the Ring" has no relevance to it.

Are you honestly comparing the bible to Lord of the Rings? I didn't say the new testament has no relevance to the old testament, just that most Christians consider the new testament to have greater importance due to the story of Jesus and how he died for our sins, basically making the old testament mostly irrelevant, because God in the new testament has developed a greater understanding of humans than he has in the old testament. It's the new testament that portrays God as forgiving and loving as opposed to angry like he was in the old testament. The new testament shows a new side to God where he connected with his creations in a way he never did in the old testament.

But does any of this have anything to do with God's existence or your own beliefs? Are you really so disrespectful of people like me who have faith in God that you HAVE to disprove his existence or you HAVE to disprove the bible's legitimacy?

I don't care about the bible that much, because the bible is a book of stories meant as a guide. It's not to be taken literally. I don't see why it always has to be the basis of religious discussions when religion is something up to each to interpret. And besides, when taking anything in the bible out of context you can basically say anything and claim that God says it. You have to read it as a whole.

But yeah, this is a question whether God exists, how you see God, not whether the Bible was written by persians or not.

Either stay on topic or stop trying to disprove something that is based on faith.

I still hold on to that he carries them all in his stomach and barfs them up when he needs them.

I realize I probably scared everybody shitless yesterday. MA BAD! I hit rock bottom for a while and needed some way to vent... I doubt I will ever be pushed that far. I've discovered, however, I am psychologically addicted/dependent to the internet, so I won't be on here for a VERY long time, at least until I can get my priorities straight.

 

Farewell, Friends

*gives a hug* Hope to see you back some day.

There's actually evidence to support the idea that the Old Testament was commissioned by the Persians as a book of moral law. I feel no reason to follow the teachings of Persian rulers 3000 years after the fact.

What evidence do you know of that actually supports this? I'm actually really curious to know.

I don't follow the old testament. I doubt few Christians do. We follow the new testament.

What is true depends on your point of view and perspective. From my perspective I see God every day, in people, in life itself, in how everything in the world seems to be designed by some greater force. The Earth is more than a coincidence in my eyes, it cannot be a coincidence. Life itself is not a coincidence. Christianity as a religion for me gives me hope, a meaning and something to live by, and a feeling that there is something else in this world than what can be touched and seen with your eyes.

But yeah, it's all about what you choose to see and feel. And this is why I don't really post in serious topics that much, because I always tend to be -rep'd for what I say.

"The next bible game is 'The book of Genesis'. For the Sega Genesis. And the soundtrack... is Genesis."

+Rep if you know who said that.

None other than the Angry Video Game Nerd, I assume.

Not gonna give any big speeches. Just gonna say that if you truly hate your father, if you truly think he's evil, this isn't the way to be better than him.

He has a point there.

You don't seem to have any reason to think these things, which is why I can't take your beliefs seriously. If your only reason is faith, then I advise you to take a close look at what faith is, and weigh that information with the knowledge that your own mind is not infallible. It has subconscious desires and can make illogical assumptions, like all people.

It's just how I see the world.

I've wanted to try out the original BioShock for a while to be honest.

It felt very unrelated in the introduction thread.

It's all about what you wish to focus on. If you take the bible too literally it's not going to make sense. It's very symbolic and is meant to be interpreted. It all depends on how you interpret it.

So either way, I really think the world, the universe, and everything living in it is created by God. I think evil and good are forces living in everything, both humans and animals. I see God and Satan as non-human energies existing outside our dimension or plane of existence, and that heaven and hell are more states of mind than real physical places as described traditionally.

Moved your post here instead of in the introduction thread. No idea if this is where you wanted it but it fits here, I guess.

That's strangely sexy.
