why would you, believe something with no reasoning? Options

[redsoxbaby87]

to people who say that they believe whatever the bible tells them...

so basically if the bible says go jump off a cliff you will? if it says kill your mother or hate G-d you would? do have a problem with thinking for yourself or something? i just think that is stupid. you must have reasons other than just becasue the bible tells you. you must have a brain and be able to think for yourself...

personally i am jewish and i believe in the torah but i have my own resons for believing and disbaliving what it says. i does not believe everything, which do not make me any less faithful.

why do you "just" believe. don't you need some personal reasoning and what is it?

[Sa-Chan]

I agree. Why believe things that are written down when they have no true proof. I don't believe in the bible, I don't believe in the Torah, I don't believe in anything having to do with one god, or many gods. I don't believe in any religion.

Well, no, let me phrase that better. It's not lack of belief, it's just lack of reasoning. I don't not believe, I just don't claim to believe anything. I don't believe in nothing, I actually, don't really care. Don't get me wrong, I'm not atheistic, but I'm not religious either, I'm agnostic.

ag·nos·tic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (g-nstk)
n.

One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.

Yes, I admit it. In religious areas I sit on the fence due to lack of care. I'm not saying you should see things my way, see things however you wish to see them. But also, somethings without proof I believe in. Like love...

If you don't believe in love, then you don't believe in anything...

So, I don't know exactly where I stand on this. Somethings are unplausable, but still real. You can't prove everything, but you don't have to believe everything either.
