GOD: How much do you believe in him?

[Mr Burns]

Hello Mr Burns i will never try to convert you-however i can see something that you cannot and i worship


I see and Believe that's Ashley Barnes

If you worship Ashley Barnes, I'd make the most of it while you can. Gus don't rate him I'm afriad (I did snigger when I found that out recently) hence the need for a new striker.

Nobody knows.

Is the only correct answer.

 

[Mr Burns]

WOW
I will have a £10 bet with you God exists, you can pay me in the afterlife.

Live your life now mate, cause there aint one after you die.

 

[Mr Burns]

My bestest anti god quote of all time

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"

Indeed but this really is not religious-race-colour or creed-it's the person,their soul,the way they are-i watched a programme recently where a reporter/traveller went to one of the last cannibal tribes on earth existed,he spent a week or so with this clan and it was a truly amazing,humbling experience & that was just watching it-

They were so like us or what you would describe as western people it was untrue-very christian if you like,but at the best examples

you do not have to be a christian to enter the kingdom of heaven. Just live life and show love and compassion to your fellow man. I don't believe you are judged by whether you go to.church or not but more on whether you lived a good and selfless life.

Exactly , it's human perception I reckon - which makes all the hatred in "Gods" name ( or equivalent for religion of choice) even more bizarre.

Any other season than last and Ashley would have been the Darling of the North so to speak-Ashley is very good-but God has deemed Brighton ready to move to a higher plain,and if Ashley departs from the beloved,to which i feel he will not,then that will be in our best interests-win/win...

But then you could say, nobody knows if there are a million virgins waiting to pleasure you when you die, if you blow yourself up for the cause?

You use your intelligence and try and work out for yourself whats the more likely. And if you think about it without blinkers on, there can not possibly be a god, anywhere other than inside your head. If people want to live to the bilble bullshit, fair play, but I think its quite cruel to kid themseleves and other theres something else when you die.

OK another £10 says there is, which means you will owe me £20
I am living my life, I support Brighton and life dont get much better

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Be very good if we had rep back now-i would be seriously in the red,but red it would be-the comment's under CP USER would make fantastic reading.

Prove he exisits, you you have all my wordly belongings.


If the Bible is mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust it to tell us where we're going?

I like your first point in this post...a million....as if! But if you DO think without blinkers on, then surely you can accept the possibility of a 'God' - in whatever form it takes?

As I said earlier, no-one has ever convinced me one way or the other - doesn't mean I rule either premise out.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Most of the selfishness and violence comes from people acting in the name of religion though.

That's a common misconception thrown about with no basis in fact.

Most human suffering and war comes from human greed.

Look back through history and the biggest losses of human life had little to do with religion.

Communism is responsible for the greatest losses of life in human history. A political theory devoid of any religious influence.

Ok, how many on here have read the bible from cover to cover? I feel that until you have then you are not in a position to reject god, our indeed fully understand the implications of what rejecting god means for you.

this is an odd position. i know enough of the bible that i cant comprehend how anyone can read, absorb and understand the book without questioning the very foundations of the religion. its clearly two different ideologies, part I is all fear and tyranny, then part II is all about loving your neighbour, something definatly *not* exhibted towards the non-believers in the old testiment. the teachings of Jesus are pretty good way to lead your life, on their own might have more credibility (a bit like Buddism, which is technically not a religion, rather a philisophy), but let down badly by the baggage that came before and the institutionalisation that came after him.

Does a "god" need to be proven or disproven?

The fact if a god does or doesnt exist would be one of the most irrelevant human pursuits there is.

You either do or don't, end of.

I dont believe in any religion and pay no attention to the bible.
Just have my own beliefs through personal experience.

I can accept there is no more possibility of a god, than I can accept the possilbilty one day flying to the moon by flapping my arms very fast.

"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you."

Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions.

I was raised a Catholic, went to Sunday school, church most weeks until I was in my 20's, but when my old man, who was in remission from cancer, was killed by the cat, I realised that it was all a joke, saw through the disguise, and since then have not set foot in a church (apart from the old man's funeral).

If you read the Old Testament you see that God was a particularly spiteful and vengeful bloke anyway, and certainly not worthy of worship.
