Personally, I dont believe in god. I honestly think that religion is just something that people use to fill up the space of the things that cannot be explained, or things that we dont know yet.

-The Bible: how do we know this is real? There is no physical proof proving that it is indeed factual. There are also many proven scientific facts contradicting many of the bibles "stories". Such as: Adam and Eve were supposedly created out of nowhere, and were the first man and women. Sciene proves that everything evolved from bacteria in the oceans, therefore going against the adam and eve story.

- Miracles: miracles are just a matter of opinion. anything these days can be considered a miracle, anything from someones shoe finally untying, to someone surviving cancer. Its just a matter of trying harder, and believing in yourself, not believing in some celestial being.

-Sins: its a matter of opinion, some thigns may be considered alright to some people, while those thigns might be considered a sin to other people.

if god is so forgiving, how come he made all the 10 commandments, if he would just forgive it anyway?

and lastly, if killing is against the ten commandments or gods rules, didnt he break them himself? with the whole great flood thing? Honestly, the whole idea of christianity is like a cult to me.

-Evolution is as much as a theory as the story of creation. Where did the bacteria come from if everything evolved from bacteria? Science also proved that spontaneous generation does not happen. But if a ominiscient, omnipotent being were present, he could create man from clay and a woman from man's rib. Now you'll ask, where did god come from? I will respond, God is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. He has always existed. Physics says time exists when matter exists. God created matter. So he existed before time.

-For Catholics (I can't and won't speak for other religions), the rule of thumb is if it's against the 10 commandments, it is a sin.

-God is forgiving, but you have to ask for forgiveness first through the sacrament of penance and reconciliation. It's not like you can beak a commandment and assume you're forgiven.

-The great flood occured before the ten commandments were made. Noah came before Moses.


I have to eat breakfast right now, I'll be happy to clear up any questions about Catholicism. If you have anymore.
