Personally, after reading this topic, i think i am leaning even farther toward atheism. I was before, but im so close im almost falling.
"quick sidebar here, I do find it interesting that almost any post on this thread posted by a Christian is answered fully and extensively by atheists, but the same courtesy is not afforded back to our posts." ~~kawnsentrait (haha i just got your name!)
For the record, im technically a christian and go to church ALMOST every sunday. i've gone for my whole life. if listened, and read church stories to the 3/4 year olds (whoever said they're forcing religion on those kids, you're right).
***when i say god did this, im saying according to YOU, god did this. just a btw...
I think one of the things that makes me thing "are you kidding me" the most is when you hear about groups getting together, and WHIPPING each other on the back, to death sometimes, all in the name of god. in return for their sins. If everyone becomes christians, the death reate is going WAY up. I mean, REALLY? You're saying that god is so wonderful, he wants you to kill yourself? that hes willing to ruin someone's life (The book of Job, re-read posts if you dont unerstand what im saying) just on a dare. if satan's so bad, why was god hanging with him??? If there are bad people at school, i dont hang with them, so why does god hang out with satan? If someone dares me to jump off a brdge 100 feet up, on a dare, i wouldn't do it. Why is god any different? if he's so mad at us for sinning, why isn't there a sap of horrable lightning, and BAM we die?
Another point is that god created everything. including satan. so if we're all sons and daughters of god, so is satan. and yet you're saying that satan has NOTHING to do with god.
oh, and science ftw!
yet another point is that god made eve. he made her curious. he made her take that apple. unless, you're saying that eve is now a separate being, and that god now had nothing to do with her. but then what about now? why are we acting like our lives are all about god? because, if they were, god would have shown us all if we were going in the wrong direction, right? wait - your saying that god leaves us to find the light by ourself? well, then why are you saying that god will reward us, and direct us. cause he sure wasn't directing that guy who shot his 22 yr old autistic son (paper today) or those 3 teen that threw homade bombs out their car window (paper again). Has satan, decendant of god, made them do this? wait - your saying yes? cause then god's directing our lives too, and i just have shown that he is not in fact.
I do, just for the record, belive that there is another life once we die. that we have another chance. i believe in karma. (your karma ran over my dogma, haha) but seriously...
is there something i left out?
