Wow, see what comes out when we just show a little respect? Some great things being said here.

huntingirl: Of course I'm proud of you. If for nothing else than for the fact that you will stand up for your own beliefs no matter who says what. I respect that, even if I don't agree all the time.
I see alot of myself in you. I believed much the same way when I was 18 or 19. Later on I realized that people who did the Lord's work were living blessed lives, while I was not and I resisted the word. Well, I was cast into what is called the "pit of affliction", nothing went right and many things went seriously wrong. I wanted to climb out of this pit of endless hardship and find out what God wanted me to do and live a blessed life. It took me a while to realize it but asking for nothing, doing Gods work and following his Word leads to great rewards in life.


I guess I shouldn't say I believe in evolution because I don't. But I do believe in science, and I've been to all of the Christian science seminars where they rip evolution and attempt to explain that creation is scientifically sound etc. Unfortunately, there are major holes in both arguments and both sides (evolution and creation) skew things to further their own agendas. The problem is that scientists are interested in the TRUTH and nothing more so we are caught in the middle of this giant debate. Unfortunately, many of those who would renounce evolution as a sin are not well educated in science. I wish more Christians would seek to understand and refute the theories they disagree with rather than just denouncing.

As often happens in the world, I suspect the truth lies somewhere in the middle which is why I believe the way I do. I understand the Bible, but I also understand that there are many stories in the Bible where metaphors are used to convey meaning and the teachings lie not in the literal sense. This is why I believe that God did indeed create the universe and all the laws that govern the universe. This galaxy, the planets, life, humans, what have you were all forseen by Him and events have unfolded (evolved) as He has ordained.

Well I'm not going to say if i believe or don't believe. I just see that people are either going to believe or not believe. I don't think less of anyone who doesn't any more then someone who does. I respect everyone's feelings towards the whole religion thing.

RE: God or not
 

brutal-where was i forcing my views down someone else throat? cause i dont think i was. you talk about giving respect and such but yet from the start of this thread you have given me little.

huntingirl u sound like ur the one thats got the ego not me.

RE: God or not
 

sheesh... skin, i wasn't saying YOU had an ego...

i was talking politics... but i won't discuss that with you. as for my ego... yeah... i guess i have one... wanna fight her?

(i am being sooooo good... this whole near death thing has made me so much better... ya'll don't understand... my blood is usually boiling by now but its just lukewarm:D)

RE: God or not
 

i almost forgot... this whole battle thing is one of the reasons that i only poke my head in every now and then instead of all the time like i used to

don't take things so seriously... you'll get wrinkles...

RE: God or not
 

You need to work on being a little less defensive. Nothing I said in that last post was directed at you. If I had wanted to direct a comment to you it would have read skin38: blah blah blah. You need to relax a little your finding things to get upset about that aren't really there. :)

RE: God or not
 

Hi, we enjoy having you around, hopefully you can come back full steam soon. Maybe if you feel like it you could drop me a PM explaining a little bit about what's going on and I can pray for you.

RE: God or not
 

So how do you know? Are you a scientist? Now you say god created everything, but here's a question for 'ya...how did GOD come to be? Did he just appear or something...'cause you cant have something from nothing.

I dont really want to debate on this issue anymore. Everyone has their own beliefs and arguing over it is not going to change anyone's. And starting this thread was just asking for trouble IMO.

This is my last post here.....

RE: God or not
 

i dont believe in god. i like to believe in what i can put right in front of myself and touch it and know that it is real.

but one day science with completely 100% prove or disprove that there is a god. im not talking like they found old bones or an old scripture, like 100% cant be overlooked right there fact. and when it happens it wont be accepted by everyone, but the truth will be there.....

RE: God or not
 

I finally realized something the other day. No matter what your opinion is on God...your still believing in something. If your an atheist, your believing in an absence of God, if your a religous person then your believing in God. So why not err on the side of caution? If you believe in God and live your life as a Chrisitian, and there turns out to be no God then you've lost nothing. If you refuse to believe in God and your wrong then you've lost everything and your life means nothing.

RE: God or not
 

i'm kinda used to it... doesn't phase me much anymore[&:]

RE: God or not
 

who are you to say that my life means nothing because i dont believe in something you do? you dont know me and you have no right to say c*** like that. what makes you think its allright to say that peoples lives mean nothing because they have different beliefs?

[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

RE: God or not
 

oh geez... LOOK OUT EVERYBODY.... FOR ONCE I'M PLAYING PEACEKEEPER!


listen Sure Shot... what Brutal so fabulously said was that IF you believe in God and God is real, then you've gained. IF you don't believe in God and God is real, you've lost. IF you believe in God and God is not real, then you've neither gained nor lost. IF you don't believe in God and God is not real, you won your argument.

CASE SETTLED.... NEXT!

Huntinggirl89, if you don't believe in God just by looking around then you must not have much between your ears, also I don't care if you are an anthropology major! If you don't believe in God then you will 5 seconds after you die so have fun in this life. I believe in God and not just the nice part I know there are demons in this world and I have seen and heard them. SCREW science you still haven't discovered that link between humans and apes geez its a frekin ape not a person!!!!!

God is my Savior

RE: God or not

(hard to believe isn't it washington and brutal???;)) and what concern is it of yours if i don't believe in god... if its real then its my own life that i'm damning isn't it??? not yours.... so therefore worry about your own faith not mine. I have my beliefs... you have yours... now we'll draw a line between us and neither of us will cross it ok???
