No I don't think you are sick sasuki-san. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want. If there wasn't a god what would happen to our souls after we die? Does it all just go black and we are really gone? I believe that everything happens for a reason. I'm an aboriginal and I believe in the traditional beliefs. Ever heard of the cleansing of the planet, I'm guessing that's what happening with New Orleans and that huge ass earthquake.

Seriously, an 'all mighty being' who can hear everything, see everything, control and listen to everything you ask while having one mind is really possible?? How easy it is to just make up a reason to explain the unexplained. Maybe its sometimes good just not to know.

Listen to my story, this may be our last chance.
Id have to say yeah

i mean we didnt just show up here one day, cause someone had to start everything, and thus leaving GOD as the only explination, but then there is "well if GOD created eeverything, then who created GOD?" which is a very great questions...in fac ti believe in GOD(or a higher being) and always ask priests that question, and i have yet to recieve an answer. Like its hard to explain, but i believe we all were put ehre for some type of reason, no matter how small, to take of someone or something, to change history, or do something, but we dont know what it is. I also believe that there is an after-life, i dont know about a hjeaven or a hell, but there definetly has to be something else, this cant be it...thatd be pointless. I also believe that any religion is fine. The christians teacht aht other religions are bad and that gays are evil and from hell, which is definatly false, thus thats why i left the catholic church. I am now part catholic and part animist. I have different ideas on everything. Like no matter who you are you can get to the good aprt of your after life so long as that if you've done anything bad, you truly feel sorry for it, and i think that most people would. Now if you hoenstly didnt feel the least bit sorry for killing someone, you are not human at all, and thus you should go to the abd part of the after life.
I also think that, religion is important, i think that everyone no matter what it is, should have a type of belief, but im not going to force someone to have one, or try and convert people., cause i think people should be able to do what they want anyways so. Yes but that is just my thoughts on religon and GOD.

I'd have to agree with Tidus with the question of,

Quote:
 
Well if god created everything who created god


That is a very good question and how did all the other gods like Shiva and the 4 faced god that was the first to walk on the earth how do we know if they r true and when u die i think that u just stay asleep in ur grave forever it's quite a sad suggestion but that is what i believe and no1 will take that away from me.

God always was. He is uncreated, which means that He has always existed, even before the creation of the universe and 'before time' (whatever that may mean).

Random side comment: I think it's 'before time' because God created time. Oh well. Sorry. XD

I think there's a God. There's no other explanation for me on how things came about.

Exactly. If there is a question of 'who create the universe? It couldn't have come out of no where', wouldn't there be a same question about god?

You know, its a theory, but I think, like a circle, the universe had no beginning, and no end. It goes in a cycle. Starting, ending, and starting again.

Big bang anyone?

oni that sounds reasonable enough for me, now dont get me wrong, i most definetly believe in GOD, and an aftert life, but im still curious, and waiting for an answer from a priest on who created GOD, its an un-answerable question, and it makes priest go nuts, lol, kinda cruel, but at the same time im still wanting that answer, ya know?

Thats because, they can't answer, rather, they don't have an answer. According to them, their god is almighty, all knowing, all powerful. If it was created by something else, it wouldn't be the almighty that they potray it as. I think they define him as the beginning of all. "No one created god. he is the most powerful of all." Which basicly means, no one did. But if no one can create a god, why couldn't no one create the earth?

Seriously, they say he can 'control' everything, with no trouble at all. But we are slowly discovering the world's mysteries, and discovering how very wrong we were; and a lot had a base aroung religion. ie Aristotle's universe that revolves around the earth and Galilleo's universe that revolves around the sun. The universe revolving around the earth came from religious beliefs that we are the supreme ones; species and world. (I'd go into the whole 'animals are here to serve humans' thing but..not now). Religious 'stories' are becoming a myth. Like, Noah's Ark; if that really did happen, then we would find many, and i mean, many fossils proving a massive extinction through the flood. Just because the situation is perfect. Things are best fossilized when under water. Have we? Not at all. Same with the world being created only a few thousand years ago according to the bible? People nowadays like to make excuses and say a year that god meant isnt the same as a year we use. That just makes no sense then. whats thepoint mentioning a year when we don't even know what that means? Might as well just say 'it was created some time ago'. Seems like excuses for the bible's major flaws to me.

Onigirl is right no priest in the world can ever answer that question because they don't know them selfs it's like they just created him for like ummm i dunno churchs and everything and what is with the holy water how do u know if it's holy where did it come from, or does it have something in it to make the priests think that it's holy and what about baptism it's kind of weird that when a chlid or adult wants to be a chrsitian they go into a pool and the priest dunks them in 3 times for 5 seconds priests think that when u do that that u r washing all your sins away i don't get it.

And with the bible just like Onigirl said people are just making excuses to make more people believe in God like 1 thing that Jesus was put on a cross and left there to die how do they know this did they just make that up?
And then 1 month later Jesus got put in a cave with a huge blouder blocking it then 1 week later the blouder was moved and Jesus lived again i think this is just to make more people believe in him and yet again how do they know this?
