And how is the sunny UK.... LOL....how I miss it... NOT..
Oh it was at its autumnal best this morning, it was really beautiful. The high winds were swirling the fallen leaves as high as the houses and people were hurrying all hunched into their coats - it was really nice to be on the way home for a brew
jbibiza: Do a little research... the entire Christian myth is based on religions going back long before the birth or death of Christ. Some of us choose to live in a world of reality rather than one based on mythology.
I respect your right to believe as you wish, please respect the rights of others to believe otherwise.

bodleing: Yes you already said you were 'hedging your bets' back in August.
"I am very much a Christian and will say I would rather believe in and worship Christ and find out at the end that he did not exist than not believe and find out he does. its your choice to believe or not.but I know from very personal experience that he does exist and is still in the business of miracles"
Hi freckles My daughter in law and son have lost 2 babies, makes my bloody boil when i'm told God had a reason, and then you hear of children abused and murdered, i really wonder what the 'test' is for that.
lovinglaura: omg-that is so sad. god is not a myth. He does, however, give everyone freedom of choice to believe or to not believe. I wasn't trying to be disrepectful to anyone, but i have never heard anyone who rejected God, even the Satanists believe in God! They just don't worship him. Either you are worshipping God or you are serving Satan. There is no in between.

rickjc25: Solitaire to say Atheism is just another religion is like saying bald is just another hair color. Religion is a belief in a supernatural power, Atheists have no such belief. Therefore it cannot be a religion.

Someone please help!! Who's right, who's wrong? My niece is 4 yrs old with cancer, how could "GOD" allow that to happen. Mystery to me. Many people come to get religion through life experience. Its choice people. Most of us have "HEARD". "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink."

Im an athiest...and dont believe in heaven or hell, the virgin Mary (to me the biggest joke)
why....lots of reasons....
but one of the main one is... why would a god, let a child suffer with a awful illness?....cancer, progeria, tumors, AIDS etc...
or let children die of starvation
most believers say....its a test??....WHAT..
what amazes me, is how many people DO believe...
Well said Freckles I couldnt agree more
