I do NOT believe in god

[Kymberli0529]

I completely agree with you, I'm an atheist, and I can't stand all the religious bullshit there is on these boards. I don't go around screamin about bein an atheist, so why should they be bombarding the boards with their god bullshit?

You poor soul.

Again, exactly what I'm talking about but I think it was you who said it.....to each their own.

[Kymberli0529]

I don't know how this was a question, but I will reply anyway, ummm, don't know what this is going to do for you. Well I know what you are throwing away, the precious gift Jesus Christ gives to you, but that is your choice, not a good one, but still your choice. sin can not be taken away any other way, and you can't take it to God, since you don't believe in Him in the first place, but then again, How do you believe in yourself, since God created you, and you don't believe in Him, weird huh, guess that one doesn't make much sense.

Most obviously, if I do not believe in god, I don't believe 'he' created anything.  Weird, huh?

although i grew up going to church, it didn't make me automatically believe in god. i had many questions but it felt like if i asked someone a question about god, they would say i'm going to hell and i shouldn't question him. i feel that the teachings are of what any person would want in life like not to judge, treat others like you want to be treated, etc...

Kymberli0529 > have you ever read about some other relegions? try to understand them? if you don't beleive in one relegion doesn't mean that God is not exist, and if you had the chance to meet someone is really relegious he would never say that the other one is going to hell because he doesn't beleive this is number one rule in any relegion don't judge others Only God judge because only God knows what is really in your heart, in my opinion if you really want to find out you can by reading about other relegions and consult your heart for what you reading and if you really wanna find GOD , God will guide you to find him and good luck

A. You obviously didn't read my original post...I have studied numerous other religions and faiths.  I never said god doesn't exist simply that I don't belive.  I don't disrespect anyone or their beliefs, as I said in my original post...everyone, in my mind, is equal.
B. It may be the rule to judge not, but it's very rarely followed.
C. Also, don't recall saying I want to find 'him' but thanks.

People who say the bible is man made are foolish and haven't really read it to well and or are liars. There are thigns so divine that some of the most brilliant people on the earth cannot understand all of its mysteries but we who have known God by spirit and truth know his word and we hear his voice. The bible calls you a fool ma'am as the proverb says the fool has said in his heart there is no God watch John Hagee hes not the slightest bit confused about Christ and he has lived through the times where Christ has been perverted in this country and has gone away from the traditional Godly family and has stayed true. look him up on youtube. Any questions about anything you can look up www.answersingenesis.com and www.wayofthemaster.com At least have an intelligent conversation there are so many things such as Giant bones found proving Genesis 6 and the fact that EVERY archaeological finding has lined up with biblical descriptions of nations and regions and times. and individuals. Also the 2500 prophecies and of which more than 200 are fulfilled doctors who told people years before pariscopes that they needed to wash their hands in running water in fact this was in Exodus thousands of years before modern science. Also in Leviticus 17 it states the life of the flesh is in the blood which would have prevented George Washington probably from dying (though he's in heaven now much better and it was just his time to go) but that the bloodletting they used to do would have not gone on if people believed the doctors that is because the life of our flesh is in our blood and once you remove it you remove the life of our flesh.

See true science. Be intelligiently designed don't evolve with hitler see this. This guy came to our church and he knows what he is talking about and his evidence lines up unlike evolutionists who have a LOT of speculations. They found DINOSAURS in the SAME TIME as HUMAN BEINGS! DISPROVING GREATLY the theory of EVILUTION!

Honestly, I'm just so over all the religious posts and debates on this forum.  It's like some people are using it as their personal soap-box for religion/anti-religion, etc. and I'm tired of signing on each day to see twelve more posts about god.  I mean really?  Good for you that you believe in something that you feel strongely about but are twenty new posts by twenty new people entirely nec.?  Most of the time, which is what really bugs me, is that the posts aren't about bringing people closer to your faith it's about trying to spark some debate.  Believe me, I'm all for debates but it seems like religion is too heated a topic, I just wish people could keep god to appropriate topics (gonna get backlash over that 'cause I know some of yall think god is appropriate for everything) but a topic/debate about the presidential election or the race of your significant other really shouldn't turn into a battleground for religion.  I understand this is a freedom of speech type of place and everyone is entitled to their own opinions so I just posted mine.  End of story for me.

Kymberlie deserves a medal! I bow before you, maddam.

I can see you chose not to be better than that. Funny that you denounce others for shoving their beliefs in people's faces, yet here you're doing the same thing in defense of your own beliefs. If you really feel people should just live and let live then you wouldn't have made this topic. This is a public forum and if you're displeased with what's being discussed you should just consider moving along to other topics rather than trying to throw dirt in people's eyes. Again, you're acting no better than the people you condemn.

http://www.godisimaginary.com/ - may sound like a silly name, but it has killer proofs that blow the deity daddy right out of the sky.

This is a silly website that shouldn't be taken seriously at all because its arguments are actually more like "yo mama" jokes than a legitimate (scholarly) argument.

[Stealth3si]

Any questions about anything you can look up www.answersingenesis.com and www.wayofthemaster.com

These sites are just as bad as queenofnine's godsimaginary link or other polemical websites, i.e. infidels or religioustolerance. They share the same fallible assumptions as their adversaries, which allows them to achieve their goal to attack them.

Wow, I am so glad that my Spirituality doesn't threaten me or cause mental abuse in any form..........

[Falconer02]

I have seen things like Jesus and heaven and Angels and the future and known about things but always kept my mouth shut until my visions or Hallucinations and Voices got scary. No one ever Knew. Now they think I am Schizophrenic. I guess that is what they would say to someone that sees and hears things.

You know 2000 years ago you'd probably be looked at as a prophet infront of people. But now in this age of information, I'd put my money on schizophrenia for obvious reasons. Do yourself a favor and come to terms with it-- don't go around saying you're hearing things in your head. That's basic for "I'm psychotic. Avoid me." If you hear gods voice, good for you. Just don't tot it around or people will use it against you. And if he tells you to kill people, seek help....and for the love of humanity do not watch the movie Frailty!

GrandMother use to tell me often, "Don't give your medicine away, lest it lose it's power....."

I have always found this very good advice......

I honestly believe that angel is the only sensible one among you lot. I can't stand it when religious people try to condemn you for not believing in their faith, but it also upsets me when Atheists decide that it's suddenly their responsibility to put down the faiths of others.

http://www.cracked.com/article_15759_10-things-christians-atheists-can-and-must-agree-on.html

I found that article to be a very interesting read, even if Cracked.com might not be the most credible source in the world.

Hmm, well I really don't know what sugar-coated word I could use that could be seen as more considerate.  I consider myself lucky for being able to get out of the Christian lifestyle, as most people will not be able to.  They are too far-gone in their brainwashing and so desperately need more comfortable answers when it comes to death, purpose, etc.  My husband was raised strictly Mormon and was able to get out of that on his own; it all comes down to the courage to THINK for yourself and question/analyze everything.

As for having "proof" that god does not exist, no, you can not 100% prove that, but it is akin to my saying that there is an invisible three-headed purple dragon in my garage.  You cannot prove that there isn't!  That may sound silly, but it's true.  As far as I'm concerned, the possibility for god is virtually non-existent so it's understandable why one would just round that figure down to zero.  If the Christian god actually did exist, I would want nothing to do with him based on the Bible.

The scientific explanations for the universe are abundant.  But Christians will always have their ridiculous excuses as to why the evidence isn't good enough.  It's all from the devil, they'll say, or you just got to have "faith" and leave it at that.

No one will change on this matter unless they personally have the desire to.  That is to say it has to be in the fundamental nature/personality of a religious person to value deep contemplation and have the courage to admit that everything they know may be wrong.

As for the http://www.godisimaginary.com/ link, I'm skeptical as to if visitors did anything more than skim it.  Even if it's not written by Richard Dawkins, it brings up some very good points, even if you don't like it's style.  The only reason I suggested it is because it presents its info in a much easier style than other sources.  I would suggest that if that is not good enough, talk with your intelligent atheist friends in person and read actual books by Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris on the subject (try the library if you don't want to pay for 'em).  http://exchristian.net/ is another good source.
