-666- wrote Another thing that grinds my gears is that people will automatically assume I am a satnist for how I dress and my beliefs. Its ridiculous,
Also! I feel like sharing a story about what is going on and I would like your opinions
So I am a freshman in High School. I take choir
We are very good and best in the state
So we have a up coming concert at a place called "South East Christian". Let me tell you a story about that "Church" *cough cough* CULT!
When I was originally LDS (Mormon) I went to one of there Youth Group New year party with a good friend.
One of the pastors asked me "What religion are you"?
I said "Mormon"
He laughed and said "Have fun in hell, unless you join this church"
So, I told my teacher that I can not attend due to religious beliefs. So he said NO NO its not religious but if you DO NOT go I will fail you.
How ridiculous is that?

That is stupid. Thats like implying that its a demand to be religious. ):< If there will be religions there needs to be religious tolerance at least.

He can get introuble for neglecting my civil rights, FIRST AMMENDMENT, Abuse of power AND Discrimination

dvdmeece wrote i personally am not very religious but the way the universe came about baffles me. If you have ever hear of deism this best describes the way i am religiously,
deists beleive that there had to be something to create the universe but then whatever something that was just let it go and take its on course and does not interfere.
I simply cannot wrap my mind around "the big bang theory" how can there be nothing then be something? due to this i have no other option than to look to a higher power for the creation of the universe but then that raises more questions in my mind..... how did this higher power come about. If the beggining is ever explained in a way i can wrap my mind around i will not be religious at all but until then i have no other option than to look for a higher power for the beginning of the universe.
thats just my view.

Yes, and thats one of my issues with people saying that the Big Bang Theory is stupid. If everything coming from nothing seems wrong to you, explain where your God came from. This isn't about you dvd, just religious people in general. I agree with aspects of what you are saying.

the entire beginning is what baffles me, and when something cant be explained theres no other option than look to a higher power. its not that i strongly beleive theres something that created the universe its just as of no i have no other way to view it :/

Which leads to part of what I believe. Maybe we aren't suppose to know. If there is every evidence found of a higher power, I will believe, but for now, I'm agnostic/atheist.

Very wrote Religion is a way of thinking. Its fine and dandy if you believe it, just don't TELL people that its true. To me, religion is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Its just something to fight over and debate. If God is so great and all powerful, how about he fixes the issues in this world? If he can apparently develop a whole world, why can't he fix the issues with it. Don't tell me "he is busy" or anything like that, it is said that he created the world basically instantly, if he can do that he can make a few quick fixes also. You believe in Christianity I'm guessing, and Jews believe in Judaism, and Muslims believe in Islam, and Buddhists believe in Buddhism, and Hindus believe in Hinduism, who is to say just one of those is right? And those aren't the only ones. How can so many religions exist? Because its controversial, it is uncertain, NO ONE KNOWS. Have you met God? Have you met Jesus? If you have you might've dreamt it, just as a child would dream of meeting their favorite celebrity. The point is, no religion has substantial proof, so don't say its true, because technically, non of it is. You can say you Believe in it, just don't push it ont

o others, they'll believe if they want to believe. I personally am atheist, if you couldn't tell by now, and I doubt many of you who saw this long paragraph even read it. I hear stuff all the time about religion this and religion that. You really notice how much religion is put into our lives once you rid yourself of it, its just more and more propaganda. Things happen sometimes that people can't explain, something like the creation of the universe and everything we know is one of those things. I believe God was a way to explain something that could not be explained at the time, and has been taken too far. (My opinion)

Leave a Reply on what you think, and again, don't post stupid things like "You're WRONG!" or "God is good" post a reasonable argument, anything else makes you look stupid. Please respect others and their views also. Thank you.

I agree. I have thought this way for a long time. I can't believe people subject their minds to stuff like religen. No one will ever govern my life. We make our own choices and live by our morals.

I understand what you mean completely, but we still have to be respectful to people with other beliefs.

Haha, ya, religion is too big of a deal in everyday life..

RosarioVampire wrote Now, the famous scientist Albert Einstein once said (if you dont know who he is go jump off a bridge) "sure there's no proof that there is a god, BUT is there any proof that there isn't? i believe in god because i have nothing to lose, what would happen if you died and then a god ACTUALLY exists? it would be too late to change your beliefs"

Please look up Pascal's Wager and the "argument from inconsistent revelations". Pascal's Wager talks specifically about this, yet it has so many flaws. How do YOU know that YOUR God is the right one? You don't. For all we know, every religion could be wrong and there could be an invisible floating unicorn in the sky who created us and if you don't believe he exists then you won't get into heaven. With this reasoning, my belief that there is no God will have the same consequences as you believing in the wrong one.
