I don't know how you think you got here on earth, but my hat is off to you. It takes so much more faith to believe that you evolved from a bunch of accidental events into the amazing human that you are today than to simply believe that there is a Supreme Being (God) ought there in charge of everything.
The difference is that if you are right, then I'm just dead (as are you). If those of us that believe in God are right, then you are going to have to answer to Him some day. For someone as bright as you, I would think it would be an easier choice to pick the one that is most in your favor. Just as thought......
“But you are a chosen people,a royal shredhood, a rippn' nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into the streets and garages to bomb."
1 Peter 2:9

THEY probably think you do, but more than likely, although they have heard of Jesus, most probably don't know Him, and fewer still are known by Him. Of course, this is just a guess, and probably applies also to the population at large, but who can know, hmmm?
I cant stay, I have work, but i have good thought:
Its easy to say there is no God, overthere.
But can you deny the creation, the happening.
Even right now there are relationships ans convergences making what is in front of us. What is their power? And is it their power?
There is a force that moves through this moment, and the past is our memory of it's old shape, the future is it's shape to be.
We live in the fountain. The creating force. We play in the fountain, the children of the creative force. We make love to our wife, and look how the creative force moves into new life, a child, displaying intelligence in design even it's visible face.
You can deny god, but how can you deny the creation? in it God says, "I am, all your power is founded in the power of my fountain, and even your power is mine, for all power is in me and of me.
God has sent our lord, the image of godly, man, and has given to this image faculty to find his fountain and dance in harmony with it's will. This harmony is the son of God, man's choice to chose his father's image our lord.
--- thats why they write the contemporary church songs "there is a fountain, who is the king."
So the atheist denies god only in his vanity. When god reavels to him, the light of him, then the atheist will turn away from his vanity. And if he refuses, it is by his pride, which is is the love of his vanity, an inhibitor to the fountain, and a power that cannot exist in the kingdom of heaven. When the pride rests, then glory is revealed as the son becomes one with his father.
Words are light and these words will live forever.
Great post! I stand corrected. I don't live a "Christian" life, I live a "Moral" life.
Not to worried about science vs. god after I die. I'll be dead.
Rick
When you die, if you havent had your eyes opened by that time you will care. There are people who felt the same way and said they didnt need God and then when they died nurses heard them screaming that they were burning at the top of thier lungs. They were entering eternity without God. Sad place to be. If you dont believe in God you have certainly never accepted him or felt the presence of God which is very real. I pray that you are saved before you die my friend, God bless you.

Appreciate the thought, but as to nurses hearing them screaming, it's as much BS as the actual belief in god.
How can anyone honor, much less believe in a god that allows children to suffer. Screw that. If there is a god, he/she is a complete asshole.

Rick, God doesnt cause children to suffer that is brought on by the sins of the world and it actually comes from satan, lucifer, or the devil whatever you want to call him. If you had seen the things I have there is no way you can deny him. I have never specifically heard someone screaming, but I have seen someone healed of a disease right in front of my eyes. I myself have been healed of a thyroid condition from someone praying for me. I had it we prayed and then its gone how do you explain that one bubba? Listen, your eyes wont be open until your are saved and accept Christ for what he did, but when you do then you can see the miracles God can and will perform in your life. If people believed in him then the children you speak of wouldnt have to suffer if they had someone who knew the Lord to help them, or if they are old enough they can cry out to him their self. Anyway God bless you and I hope the best for you, not looking to get into a msg war, but I do know God is real and I hope you do before its too late.
I've asked this before but I'll ask it again. Put 10,000 or 100,000 or any number "true believers" you want (definition of a true believer is someone who agrees with your belief) and have them pray that god will regrow someone's severed arm. Won't happen.
I'm told that god will answer prayers if god wants to. It's a crap shoot. Pray to a tire and you have the same chances of success.
Believe what you want if it helps you through the day. Religion itself is not offensive. Organized religion is the root cause of most of the problems in the world.

Your wrong, some folks from my church have been at a service where someone grew toes by the prayer of someone who has faith. Someone with faith could absolutely make it happen. If you had seen it then you would believe. Its a shame you havent seen God work.

I officially call bullshit. Show me the video of it. Doesn't exist because it couldn't happen.

Well that is why its called faith my friend. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I know it has happened and I am telling you myself I have been healed. You just dont want to believe it. I pray that God will allow you to see a miracle in your life, and when he does you are going to be ashamed of the way you talk now. You will look back on it and feel grieved just as I did. Anyway I do agree with you that organized religion is a huge problem. I go to a nondenominational church and we dont follow any passed down religious ordinances. We follow the Word of God, and by his spirit we are moved. Its the best thing to ever happen to me and I am so thankful to have Jesus in my life. I never knew how empty I was without him until I found him. I truly hope you experience this someday.
