well, i am methodist (christian) and i believe that god created the earth (or whatever the bible says) but i started thinkin'. how did he do it. i was like well i guess he was magic or something if he could do everything. and then i was like he got the Virgin Mary prego without having sex!? (it was god right?). and just started to get really technical about all the stuff. well i was talking to my friend about it, he is really godly, and he said, "if you have to think about it, and question it, than you must not believe in him." but i was like, "i do." i really do believe all that stuff, heaven, hell, jesus.
Do you think that i believe in god? (just wondering?) ------------------------ ((really weird question)) --

You could believe in God and call yourself a Deist, instead of Christian. Though, it is said that you will go to Hell for doing so...

i think its kind of dumb...most of the people i meet are so scared of going to hell they force themselves to believe in god and the bible and to pray and always be thinking "i have jesus in my heart" its just dumb....i've had alot of long descussions with my friend, shes penacostle(which is christian as well) and she said when you start to question how god and the world was created its the devil trying to take advantage of your thoughts.....i dont know about any one else but i know i think for myself, and that i don't believe the **** that is the bible :)

It's a natural part of human nature to question things that don't seem right. And don't be afraid that you are going to Hell, because I can promise you that you are not. And a Deist? Isn't that a person who believes that God created the world, but then ceased to intervene in human affairs? I don't quite agree with that, but it can explain things such as why there is suffering in the world. |

I prefer the definition that Deism is the belief in a Creator based on nature, and the light of logic/reasoning better than the one you've provided. |

I think...that you can be someone who just follows the guides of Christianity. I take it that you're a good person who has good intentions, and doesn't sin? Well, you're still following the morals, etc.
It's just that, if you're a modern person, you'll think more scientifically about everything. You might not understand how God created the Earth, but what's more important is that believing in Him makes you a better person, don't you agree? And that's the whole point of religion, isn't it? |

Thinking about those questions makes your beliefs false because if you believe in GOD...you only have to believe in him. No matter what science or common sense tells us.

alas! you do not belive in god. you have found reason!
you have found doubt! you have begun to think for yourself and question the ancient teachings of church! you have begun to use your mind to think things through, and understand how things happen. you have began to understand- the bible says god created earth. but what about the stars? the planets around there? does it say god was there too? the stars don't exist, according to the bible. not the way you think they exist. they can't be millions of light years away. the bible doesn't say light years exist, so light years don't exist. the bible also doesn't say anything about flu vaccines, virueses, bacteria, infection, exc. the bible doesn't tell you how to do CPR. yet science does. logic does. and all you people born in a hospital- you're evil. the bible didn't say you could do that. you'll burn forever. yes, i harbor a lot of hate from people trying to convert me. |
