Even though I live in the Bible Belt of Texas, we have never talked about Creationism in any Science class, only theories regarding evolution. We are also taught about the Big Bang, rather than seven day Creation. Even though I am religious I am extremely grateful for this and believe this (or...
My question is rather straightforward, as this is often a touchy subject, thanks to many Western Islamophobes citing that Muslims want to enforce Shari'ah upon the West- but, do Muslims believe that if a society was mostly Islamic there should be no form of Government or regulation outside the...
I acknowledge the absurdity of a God, but I also acknowledge the absurdity of life amonst other things; yet I still have a deep seated faith in this 'God' character. Why? Personal experience has led me to such things- in my mind I agree that it is impossible to prove or disprove this God...
In my mind Satanism and Christianity are only titles which you yourself give meaning to. I could consider myself a Satanist, or a Christian, however what I believe and hold to be true in the way of ethics, and morality remains the same. All that changes is the name. To myself, the Christos or...
We decided what good and evil are (though to greatly varying degrees) then decided that we would worship this personified notion of good or this personified notion of evil.
While I agree with you in theory, (i find it easy to play devils advocate (: ) it could be argued that either A. God did nothing to stop it, which is morally unacceptable in most cultures (Ie you witness someone being murdered and you could have stopped it but you didn't). or B. He created the...
Well considering they are the two largest, they are the most diverse- and controversial. There are many arguments against them because their modern state is the result of thousands of years of both the best and the worst examples of human nature. Neither are secure in their own beliefs, though...
Though many common thoughts of a soul would be compromised by such an argument (which in most cases I agree with) those however such as myself who don't believe in the 'immortal soul' which comes from pagan tradition, notably Greek, are in agreement with this. I myself do not have a very...
"If there is a god he will have to beg for my forgiveness." -quote found etched into the wall of a Nazi Concentration Camp
A peculiar quote which makes one reflect. If a God does exist in an omniscient, omnipresent ect ect manner, would this God deserve to forgiven for the act of creating a...
Though I still vaguely associate with the idea of Christianity, in my mind, Christianity (just like any organized religion) has become futile and stagnant. Centuries of politics, and intrigue have corrupted the simple message of Jesus Christ. I consider myself a follower of Jesus, Isa, Yeshua...
Most world religions typically do not approve of it.. it is a psychological defense against giving into what is considered carnal material desire which many faiths wish to abandon. As for me, I see no problem with such a thing, until however the very act, the lust for such pleasure becomes what...
So the premise of the question, is that atheist, or agnostic people often claim lack of evidence for the support of God. Theists reject evidence which some parties posit claiming it disproves God. But could there be any event or discovery which either totally eradicates any belief in God, or...
I do not believe in a traditional Abrahamic 'Judgement Day'. That seems counter intuitive. I believe people (if there is an afterlife in any traditional sense) will be 'judged' by the state of the figurative heart. In my mind, I believe there is a state of being after this one, but not one in...
