Well I´m off... time for a little siesta before I head into work... this 7 days a week crap is really getting old! It´s been great running into some old friends today!
SirenLydia: So if you don't worship a god you are a bad person?
That is very disrepectful.
it's not a matter of being a good person...many church goers are not saved, it's a personal choice to accept God. i didn't say anyone was bad. i was saying that there is no in between. i just don't understand that's all. i am a teacher so i encounter many parents, children, and co-workers daily. I have never heard anyone deny God. They may not go to church or discuss him, but i just never heard anyone deny his existence, i do not mean that any of the people on here are bad. I apoligize for coming across that way. i just didn't understand it. i apoligize for sounding like i direspected anyone.
reasoned debates yes, Im all for it but this thread is just an attempt to start a flame war - the false profiles stick out like a sore thumb and Im simply not getting involved.
it amazes me that people on here believe in god.do you still believe in the easter rabbit and santa claus ? don't get me wrong i respect people for their beliefs and respect religion, but much of religion is man-made---like the pope--and his rules as infallible-he is simply a man just like us.
heaven and hell are myths set up to have control over people-during the potato famine here in ireland the priests told starving people if they took soup from a protestant soup kitchen they would go to hell-so spare me !!!!

I have never heard so many aweful and hurtful comments about our God before in my life. It saddens me to see that the people that Jesus Christ died for are still mocking him and rejecting him. Nobody else will ever love you as much as he does, so how can you make jokes about the one who suffered a horrible death on Calvery just so you could have a shot at going to Heaven. I do not understand this rejection and non-belief.[/quote It's just in the prophecy that there will be a turning away of the church in the last days. i pray whoever wishes to laugh at my religion and love for God. Enjoy the laugh and embrace the light of this life.
It's ok to post threads on how much of a joke God is, but it's bad to say i love God? So, much for respect. I thought i was free to post a thread on Christianity and not be harrassed by non-believers. I did post under Religion, so i thought it was legal on here to express my love.
Many people dont beleive because of intellectual vanity. Their too smart and have an abundance of self-love. They cant be wrong. Im not a gambling person so I will beleive and if Im wrong the only thing that can be said is he followed something that didnt exist..lots of consequences in that! And I wont be the only one. If the no-beleivers are wrong their are consequences and they certianly will not be alone.
gingerb: She's new. Maybe we need to go easy on her and give her time to build up to where others are.........Changing beliefs rarely happen overnight, and usually require a lot more education than people who make those kind of statements have...........
My what an egotistical set of statements!
How do you manage to put up with all of the mere mortals in the world your grace?
You might want to pull this from your profile so no poor schulb will get the idea he has a right to hold an opinion that is not identical to your "one truth".
"I think we just have to be looking for the positive qualities we can accept and live with, and hope that a mutual respect will take care of the rest."

they hate me and laughed at me just because i believe in God. I wrote this under a thread for Religion! If they didn't want to hear about God why did they even stop in the forum to be so ugly and hurtful? I never entered into anyone's threads to insult them. i thought the religion catagory was about discussing relgion, not hating the writer of the thread.

It amazes you so see so many atheists here. ... hmm okay. Welcome to the rest of the world
It saddens you that people reject Jesus. ... Reject? Wrong terminology. There's nothing to accept or reject.
Nobody will ever love me as much as he does. ... and you know this because what? he talks to you about approximately 300 million people in the world who are not Christians?
Heaven? Is that in this solar system? inside the black hole maybe?
Mockery? Call it what you wish. To me, it is just as sad that an adult can believe that people go to heaven, that a dead man loves people, etc.
That's an interesting post. The problem is it's Faith.
You have it and don't need to have a proof. You don't have it, and won't have a proof too, because you need to have the Faith to have a proof....
God loves you much than Jesus Christ did. With Jesus, you just have a sparkle of God's love. But you need Jesus and Christ to know a little little little bit of God's Love.
Don't be bothered by people you're describing. Act as Jesus did, Love them, and give them an helpful hand if they need it. One day they will know and understand it in their own manners.

and you forgot all the other civilizations.... gosh, we're not alone......
Heaven, in a black hole ? in a parallel universe perhaps ? don't laugh but you're maybe right.....
We now just a little bit about us. Only what we can see... We're outside, in the dark. We just have a small light to light around us.
How scary is that !!!!
Grow up, children, time is coming to become adult.
Beware Laura! the intellectuals are out to pounce. Modern man will not accept what he cant see. Those who beleive in a higher power CAN AFFORD TO BE WRONG.

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.
So thats a liberatin thought.
Either I serve your God created by the romans or I serve the devil.
Listen lady, I dont fancy your judgement so I will judge you here and right now.
The book is written and editted by romans.
My GOD doesnt answer to romans, catholics, jews or muslims.
My God listens to all.
The church of Peter is the one who follows Satan.
Peace be with you and I hope you dont believe in Satan.

Maybe, just maybe, people aren't really interested that much to go to heaven at this time?
