^^^^Good points...

El-Dia I always thought you were a Satanist since thats what you portray ALOt. lol
I mean its in everything that you have publically about yourself the symbols and what not.
----------------------------------------------------------------
For me I am of both minds on the subject, first and foremost yes Im a beleiiver in Christianity, my denomination is Earth (when asked). Now I also believe much of what the ags and aths here have said , that religion has been and is used to control populations, and that if everyone believes that their religion is right then everyone is going to hell because you can't commit to everything at once. About how maybe aliens came long ago and started man off in the direction we are going now, that maybe we are all just star dust and thats what we ruturn to , all types of philosophy.
I think about all the arguments against a God and I still arrive at the conclusion that there is one, and He is responsible for creating everything. Science to me basically is used to figure out how God created everything, man trying to find out how it all works.
Do I think that there is God in the sky and a red guy underground?
No.
I think that there ARE parralell universes though and that we cant possibly fathom how all of it works in that respect. I KNOW for a fact that there are supernatural things that happen on earth , I have seen actual evil ass ish enough to know that there is evil not only in people natuarally but that there are supernatural forces as well. Thus if having seen that there must be its polar opposite.
I , even tho a Chriastian, realize that Christianity itself has been responsible for many horrors through out time. I think that (and it says in the book) once your start organizing people into sects your going to get corruption. I find it ironic that the catholic church is suppose to be the big exorciser of demons yet they have perpatrated some of the worst crimes in history all while being a huge standard bearer for Christ.
Even in churches in my city it becomes repulsive to see the politics that stray the whole congregation from the word. I believe that LOTS of people just start a church so that they can have a tax free business and that they are no more qualified to dictate things to people than an imam that encourages suicide bombings of other muslims in voting lines , or at girls schools.
I see that lots of religions have leaders that keep society as whole from progressing forward in lernings and technologies and that they want to go backwards on civil and human rights.
I dont think God condones these things, I dont think these are things of God, I also know that is was written that all these things would come to pass.
The main thing that seperates ,imo, muslims,hebrews and christians is tradition , alledgedly they are all praying to the same God, the God of Abraham. Now after Abraham things get crazy but you can research all that yourself.
Even though I see all this I try and not fault a denomination or religion or persons views for not being mine, I think that do unto others rings true when practiced no matter if you believe or not.
I also believe atheists and agnostics and pure science people are important to keep people from just blindly never advancing in a new way of thinking and sticking to the Dark Ages.
Have I ever heard God talking to me? Thats a good question... I have gone down to the pulpit when visting at churches because people were there with a guy laying hands on them and they are falling out and speaking in tounges and all that and I wanted to see what would happen. Well ...nothing. LOL
Dude put his hands on me and I didnt feel any different than when I came in. lol
Now there is an inner voice that will tell right from wrong and what to do when I pray hard on something.
I have in fact been helped by what I call God to get where I am now, cause for all intensive purposes I should be dead or locked up , and that really wasnt why I was put here, I feel.
I dont go to church I dont trust churches in fact. I am reminded of the story of when Jesus went in the temple and saw that people were just basically selling trinkets and what not and that it was a business and not His fathers word. At which point he literally tore the place up going off on everone. That was in fact about when they started to plot to kill him (again lol). Now that story is exactly whats going on now, "Call this nmumber buy my tape and you will be saved". I dont trust anyone or church that tries to sell you salvation, or the preacher is blingin while preaching..
Essentially ,to me, it boils down to parallell universes , things we cannot fathom, a intelligent design, a loving prescence that will help you if you help yourself, and what we would call spiritual beings (although I have no idea what they are) .
It is a fact actually that when you die you suddenly lose around 20 grams, some think that is the weight of your soul.
I dont disagree with buddists either, finding the Truth is a noble pursuit.You can learn alot from different people and beliefs.
Why do I beleive in God? (not religion) Because to me He is real and for some reason has had His hand on me since birth and I'd be waaaay worse off without him. Cant prove it, just feel it.
Bottom line fellas live right , when you die you will know everytihing or will know nothing. lol
