You might have never heard of The Ten Commandment exactly but the basic morals your p-arents or people surrounding you came from the Ten Commandment because they could've known them and realized they were basic moral ideas. Such as your parents tell you not to lie, don't make idols, rest on sunday. honor them, don't murder,don't commit adultry,don't steal, don't be jealous.

So you're saying that before the Ten Commandments people were savages and babarians who killed for pleasure and they were people who lived in decadence and enjoyed every moment of it? Are you saying that people in Asia, Mid East were all savages because they didn't know of God's laws?

I don't see how you came to that deduction, but already I see it as an incredible offense.

My father is Buddhist, and as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), Buddhism came before the age of Christ. The teachings of the Buddha is older than the teachings of the Bible since Buddhism came to be first.

If anything, his morality branched off of the Buddha's teachings, not those of Christ or Man who claimed to speak for the Lord.

Oh and heathens,pagans and nonbelievers are not the same. Heathens don't go to church you can be a christian and not go to church. Pagans don't believe in God and will not go to church. Non believers aren't Christians, but that doesn't mean they don't want to believe in God.

And...? Did you wanted to clear something up?

not that huge. They weren't blatant accusations. I see it as, if you believe in only yourself and you accomplish something well you are going to praise yourself and the act of worship is praise, so ultimatly you are worshipping yourself.

There's a difference between believing in oneself and worshipping oneself. A person who believes in his/her own worth has confidence, while a person who worships him/herself is vain and conceited, psychotic even.
According to you, when parents praise their children for a job well done, parents are worshipping their kids? I don't think that makes much sense.
The act of worship is not so simple as praise or belief, it's beyond that. Do you mean to tell me that when you worship God, all you do is believe and praise Him? Do you not love Him, honor Him, and respect Him as well? Do you not entrust your life to Him?
There is a great difference.

What I believe is that everyone who says they don't believe there is God does too believe. The thing is they believe there is God, but they don't want to believe IN God. I don't know, what i get from ya'll is that is too easy. That you want to control your life, not God. The way I see it is that I would rather God control my life then have me control it and make bad decisions that will ultimatly question who am i and why do i get so much authority to ruin my life.

That's your own choosing to give God your control, many do not want that and you must respect their choice because they respect yours.
If I ruin my own life, then I have nothing more to say, but if my life is ruined and I believed in God, then God would be nothing more than a person who ruined my life.
