Most do not need to. As with propaganda in politics, I've seen enough commercials and/or advertisement about this church and that church to be curious about it. If I were a child, and I see these ads, I'd be swayed to go and find out more about it. And once I'm in a Church, I am promised that there is He, who loves me unconditionally. And as a child, I would think, what a good deal this is. I can't go wrong with my Heavenly father who would ensure a place for me in Paradise and all I have to do is believe in him...

If I were that child, I'd change/convert my faith in an instant.



But some haven't seen God's miracles but they claim they do to please their parents/neighbors/friends. Religion is almost like a drug and there's peer pressure. Trust me on this as I've experienced discrimination of this kind for not being a Catholic.



I have said that unless I've experienced it for myself, I wouldn't believe it. I don't have much faith in Man and their talks of religion, because we are flawed and are prone to greed and sometimes, we too much of the truth.

Men are corrupt and sinful. Don't take others word on it research it yourself read the bible.

Open your mind to believing that there is someone greater than us.

It is logivally impossible

but maybe it isn't our time with God yet.

choose not to go to Church every Sunday (or rarely at all), because the Churches I've been to use 'collection money' to build more Churches instead of helping out the poor. Maybe I've been to some wrong Churches... but still, these men of faith only sought to make religion into a business. I cannot believe in them.

with pleasure...

alright, to begin...

so you hear that people who have faith in God/Adonai and Jesus/Yeshua, whatever language you call his name by, are going to be much happier in their lives if they do... oh man... WRONG!

dude, if you really have faith in Christ and his Father, you will know that life is going to be like a prick in your @$$. Theres going to be so many spiritual warfares and trials to go through, its unbelievable. Your boss is gonna cuss you out and fire you, and you dont even know WTF just happened. ofcourse the smart believers know that satan/the devil, whatever you call em, was in charge of that crap. Yes God allowed it to happen. He wanted to see if you would curse Him out if it happened. it was a trial.

so your a happy camper believer, but gossip starts around you, and now your friends are hatin on you for some reason. WTF RIGHT? spiritual warfare. satans messin with ya. but never forget God is there, hes watching. he's seeing your reactions. hes testing you. he wants to know if your the RIGHT guy/girl to be with Him in His presence. Oh but i forgot, He already knows that you belong with him, Hes God. He knows all. He just wants you to realize that you belong to Him. God works in mysterious ways. Ways we will never comprehend.

cough: i need to preach in a black church :cough

moving on...

oh so you dont believe in him now, you dont SEE him now.. hunh.. oh boy.
when you come face to face with Death, and you see that there is no way out, OH MAN, your gonna SEE HIM, your gonna SEE HIM and His mighty Glory, and your gonna break down, surrender and cry out to Him, and he will Save you, because you SAW HIM.

You know what, yeah, cuz i said so. Your gonna go to church one day, and your.. hmm.. ok I'm pray on this. your gonna become a preacher someday and be preaching to everyone. YEah i can see this happening. God loves you, and when you find out, you will surrender

I need a drink of water. i see now why pastors drink water in front of the church. goodness..

I mean when you die, you die, theres no heaven or hell

I used to believe in god ......... but then I started to realize that god wasn't real...

Yeah Jesus is a Jew but his followers are now Christians. Jesus-the Messiah, Chosen One, Savior died on the cross for us. When he was alive he made many miracles so that we will believe that Jesus is Christ, God's son.

They is extremely untrue. That is how you can tell you haven't been around TRUE Christian. Alot of people say they know the Lord, but they do not. Half of the Christians I know did grow up in church. But that does not mean they believed, many did not believe until they were teenagers eventhoguh they were brought up in the church. The other half came to know Christ. Their parents would NEVER take them to church or they left everything up to their own decision. They saw the works, they knew that there was nothing to lose. They knew God is real, He is omnipotent. Nothing anyone could say could ever make me doubt who God is.

Men are corrupt and sinful. Don't take others word on it research it yourself read the bible. Open your mind to believing that there is someone greater than us. I beleieve the bible because I believe God. God spoke through these men. These men accounted what they saw there is no way that they all experienced the same thing and it not be true. It is logivally impossible

That is true because sometimes it not the right time for you to believe, but you never know when your last day will be.



That is why you have to be careful of what church you go to. There are many churches like that but there are also many churches that do what is right. That is why I love my church, for the reason that it speaks the truth and acts of what it says we should do as giving money to the poor, and to missions, and other things

ugh you piss me off kid. dont tell us to read the bible. and dont talk of imposiblity. dont talk about "TRUE" people because you can tprove you are one of them.
seeing as how there are no such things that is...

The response was that they can further improve the Church... ARGH.. there are hungry people out there who can use this money instead of improving a Church that already has so many members and is still so NEW.

Your Church sounds awesome.

Though people will be more prone to come to places that look nice

okay, im gonna start something new. if i go murder some child, why should i have to go to hell for it? after all, god is perfect. god knew that i was going to kill that little kid. if he knew it was going to do it, then i couldn't have possibly changed my mind. if i changed my mind and let the child live, god would have been wrong. and god is perfect. so why should i go to hell for my 'mistakes'? i shouldn't. whoever thought up god should have thought a little harder.

I wasn;y talking to you if you didn't noticed i quoted uninspired. You tell me not to talkof these things because??? I did not say ture people i said true Christians. As in not eveyone who says they are a Christian is a Christian. I am one. I don't have to prove it to anyone except God because he is the only one that matters. I can't say everyone she incountered wasn't true, but by the statements made by those they couldn't/could be true. Idon't knw anyone's personal walk but my own. So i was assuming. There is no such thing as true people, wow you are really losing me there. Am i not mistaken that your s/n says jewishbabey, and that Jewish people believe in the Old Testament where it is talking about these things??



not all the way awesome. I do love it, but i don't agree with everything like you said improving the church. I say people will hear the Word no matter if it is a rundown building. Though people will be more prone to come to places that look nice

okay, im gonna start something new. if i go murder some child, why should i have to go to hell for it? after all, god is perfect. god knew that i was going to kill that little kid. if he knew it was going to do it, then i couldn't have possibly changed my mind. if i changed my mind and let the child live, god would have been wrong. and god is perfect. so why should i go to hell for my 'mistakes'? i shouldn't. whoever thought up god should have thought a little harder.

Dog...(the only i way i will refer to god ne more)

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new Muslim students to stand and.....

Professor: You are a Muslim, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student :Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student : From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student :Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student : No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student : No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality.You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable
protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir.. The link between man and god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving alive.




Something I read from my friend's xanga.

All you need is faith. If you believe in Jesus, he's there for you. If he exists or not doesn't matter as long as you have faith.

For those who are arguing that God does not exist and that we are just insignificant pieces of matter living on a piece of rock, I ask - why do quite a lot of scientific geniouses of past and present, who should know better about this universe than any of us, believe in God?

Wow, the Professor got owned. Awesome story.

why do quite a lot of scientific geniouses of past and present, who should know better about this universe than any of us, believe in God?

this topic pisses me off because people [such as the pope] are just so blind.[like bush] they can only see their own religion and no one elses. not everyone belives in jesus[miss-that-was-for-the-uninspired]
nobody said that i was uninspored, idiot.
i belive.
just not in a retarted school teacher, properly shunned mind you, named jesus.

there is no god. point finale

it's god that made you. but it's up to YOU to do the right thing. he can;t save you there.

What about miracles? Unexplainable things that defy the meaning of him.

For some reaosn, I bleive he is there. Not because my parents force me to goto chruch or anyhting like that. But I just feel, like when I sit down and pray, that he is next to me listening to everyword i say.


How do you think life was created?
Just a ball of gas or something.

Our heart beating, our food digesting, our brain sending neurons or w.e to type what we THINK irght now is a miracle right here.

But hey, thats just my opinion.

I don't need proof for everyhting.

I don't belive in science anyway. It's not meant to be done

If religion is the cure for to blindsight, come now and give me vision, for right now I cannot see.

lol, i don't know what agnostic means.

wow i feel dumb....what does atheist mean...

Atheist is someone who has no religion; neutral in a way, I guess.

Just because YOUR jewish (obviously) DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN BASH OTHER PEOPLES RELIGIONS!

Especially jesus christ.

Ohhhhh, wow.
Please stop. Before I take further actions.

Religious people can turn around and say the same about you (being blind that is). There's two side to this story, if you've forgotten.

Was that a note for me? sorry, I don't get it?

especially jesus christ? how ironic. what makes your religion more significant than anyone else's?

I used to be Agnostic, then I asked myself why I wasn't fighting something that kills thousands of people every year. So I moved on to Athiest. Now I'm content.
