A belief does not confer knowledge.  Having a religious 'faith' is not the same as knowing where, (or if), you're "going" anywhere.  How many regular people have returned to let the living know such things, (not counting fictional accounts of a jewish zombie)?

There is one thing I learn in World History in religions through the time. That is forgiveness. That is not what I learn in bible. I absorbed that word in my mind and blended it with the forgiveness that I did own. God's forgiveness is not impossible. In supreme of forgiveness, that is what I stay at my highness. If anyone disagreed with my highness and don't believe I am able to stay there. Please give me a chance to teach you something instead God, because I won't get mad to whatever you done to me as God did. God, my Highness, please guide your sinful fellow on a way of liberty of passage.

So with all that has been said, what do you believe in falcon9?  You have a lot of argument against God, religion and the likes...but you don't say what you believe in.  So I am curious.

I don't hold religious beliefs, so the question is a non sequitur.

And as for the question, I believe in God, I feel the Holy Spirit so I know that I am going to Heaven.  And for those of you that want to argue feeling the Holy Spirit, until you feel it, you can not really argue it.

That is not a rational line of reasoning; it presupposes that there is something to "feel", (which is vaguely designated as "holy spirit" and requires 'faith' in a supernatural concept).  This supernatural concept can not only be argued, it can be disputed while requiring that those who claim such a thing produce hard evidence that such a thing exists.  If no such evidence, (beyond dubious 'testimony' from religious adherents, which does not constitute evidence), can be produced, the claim is specious.

I feel that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and their reasoning behind them.

Indeed, I have specified several times that people are generall free to believe whatever nonsense they wish to believe however, please refrain from misuse of the word "reasoning" in the context of belief; there is no reasoning behind beliefs - that's why they're superstitions and not factual.
 
And everyone is allowed to speak their own mind as long as they aren't trying to cram their beliefs down others throats.

Therein lies the hypocrisy of religious adherents; the incessant mention of their religious beliefs can be construed as "trying to cram their beliefs down others ...".  Conversely, those same 'crammers' seem to object to the expression of opposing viewpoints After the initial religious evangelicisms are posted.  Since religious adherents are apparently unwilling or unable to resist evangelical posts, (whether under the guise of 'speaking their own mind' or merely interjected those beliefs into a non-religious subject thread), they have no basis for objecting to others posting dissenting views. Simply put; you are as free to post religious beliefs as others are to post opposing viewpoints to those beliefs.

It remains unclear from your post whether or not you also took an English course, (and passed it), but it is doubtful from what was posted.  Nevertheless, in trying to parse that jumble of words, your offer of evangelicizing here will not go unopposed.

Recently I had time with a man who said he did not believe in God. when I aked him of where he planned to spend eternity, he said he did not believe in that either. I asked him, why? He said he did not believe in life after death the way others (religious people) believed. He believed that the body expires like a driver's license, and the spirit lives on like the law governing the need for a driver's license. He said he has watched a lot of spirit based movies and is convinced that life after death exists in many spiritual places. This is a teaching that is prevelent today and most people do not believe in Christian end of life teaching. One thing is true though, everyone worries about what lies on the other side of this life and fear of not knowing becames the mother of al denials.

I don't believe in deities, divine creators, or gods of any kind. We are each our own god. I'm not afraid of what happens after death, because I won't have the ability to experience it. Soul = Mind/Heart/Emotions/Impulses, which all cease without a living brain to give them meaning.

I am not afraid of where I will go. Simply because I don't believe in heaven or hell. Out of all the religions out there, Christianity and the like are the most unreasonable, mythological and down right ridiculous out there. It is unbelievable, and contradicting. Christians pick and choose which part of the religion they wish to follow. If you followed the bible to the letter, you agree that man has power over women and that women should remain quiet is that not right?

Timothy 2:12, "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet."

or does that part not count?

I'm going to Heaven to be with my maker, regardless of anyone else thinks or believes.
I am a Christian and choose to follow Him :heart:

This is merely a baseless religious belief, (in that it relies solely upon 'faith'), and has nothing to do with what happens after physical death, regardless of holding a specious belief.

I believe in Heaven and Hell but right now I'm more focused on what I'm doing in my physical life.
