I believe we're born from nothing, and when we die we go back to nothing. What happens in between is a combination of hard work and luck. Heaven & Hell are cute concepts invented to keep people in check - concepts that people accept b/c it's nicer than reality: rotting under the earth.

Yup.
And if I were to believe in God, it wouldn't be the God written about in some nonsensical book that is full of contradictions and fantastical make-believe.

My biggest problem with religion vs. science is that it's as if you have to choose.
I firmly believe that science and faith can co-exist; in fact, they explain each other quite well.
There's so many versions on the story of The Bible and God though
I mean, God was Jesus' father at one point. Some say they're the same person. I mean I just..
OKAY OKAY. I read everyones post and I want y'all to ask you one thing......... What are dreams ?
Idk what to make of dreams.
Sometimes they creep me out a bit. Like when you have the most random dream about a person you haven't seen or even thought about in ages...and the next morning you run into them somewhere.
No, I think that different religions lining up despite lack of globalization was the result of all those religions aiming for the same thing: to control people.
But do they really line up? Most of the wars - and deaths - in history were/are b/c of religious differences. Awful.
Very true. Although, from what I've studied, they do all have quite a bit in common.
And regarding the control of people - I believe that's the government, media, and corporations. That's who makes up the New World Order. Not a bunch of musicians.
I get what you're saying. If you keep tracing back, where did that very first spark of life come from? Who knows? Maybe it didn't even come from Earth. To which you'll ask, what started life on the other planet? We'll never know. That's the mystery of life. It's better to say I don't know than to come up with some simplistic explanation like, "some guy named God up in the sky created everything."
A question for those who are christians or believe in god in some way.
Has there ever been a moment where he's spoken to you? Like, I know theres a little voice in your head that speaks to you and everything, but has there ever been a moment in your life where you are SURE youve heard a clear distinct voice tell you something, and you know it wasnt your concious? because it's happened to me, which made it easier knowing I wasnt just praying to nothing, you know? I guess thats when my sprituality wasnt at its best.

It's weird, because its like I hear him through silence ... when I'm praying I don't need a verbal response because I can feel it .. idk, it's weird.
Okay. So my subconscious can show me the future ? I have had dreams that came completly or partly true. If there isn't a God then the supernatural world shouldn't excist. I believe in the supernatural world.
I want to tell y'all a story.
There was some kind of prayer group at my middle school and at that time I had given my life to Christ about a month or two ago. One day the prayer group went to all the classrooms and said "If you are a child of Christ, you come right now without questions". I went and so did a couple of others. It appears someone of the school was going to summit suicide and the prayer group asked us to first thank the lord, worship him and then pray that the dude wouldn't do it. Well I felt really weird and uncomfortable by the way the people were praying, singing and dancing and stuff. Then while they were praying really loudly, it was like if they were fighting in a other world. I closed my eyes and I pictured the guy comitting suicide and going to hell. I suddenly became mad and started to pray like crazy. I was saying a lot of things and very fast, I was praying faster, faster and faster and then suddenly I felt fire going true my mouth and I started to speak a langauge I couldn't understand. I couldn't stop it. It just kept going. My tongue was going crazy. There was no way to controle it. Then suddenly after 10 minutes the whole group stopped praying at the same moment. I was feeling very dissy and confused. And then the leader of the group asked if someone experienced something and without thinking I said "I was speaking in tongues". One hour later the guy returned to school and said that he almost comitted suicide but he heard voices calling him back to school.
You may think I'm crazy, but I have experienced some pretty crazy stuff. I for one think that dreams are linked to the supernatural world. I am not as christianly as before more because of the gay thing, but I do believe in God. And despite everything that I saw and experienced, there is no way in my mind that I can believe that God is sending that many people to Hell for just being gay or having sex before marriage or not living the "perfect life".
Freebitch - not to be an asshole, but how about instead of co-signing on all of Nicole's quotes, you post some of your own opinions.
ok, i don't believe in god because there have been so many other religions before christianity and there are so many things that don't even make sense in the bible plus what about those other people that lived way before us since they didn't believe in god where did they go?
