the_forgotten_thought well, i believe in god. but i don't believe he wants us to go to church to prove our loyalty. i think that all that matters is if we're good people. and then, even if by some off chance i am wrong, then at least i was a good person.
I like this one. Yes, I go on occasion, but I dont believe you have to go every sunday, be participant in everything, etc in order to go to heaven. I believe we all have a private relationship with god, and we all have our own purpose/purposes we are sent here for. And yes, for some ppl, I think that being mega-involved with a church is their purpose. they keep it going, and spread the word. That is an important purpose, for sure, but not mine necissarily. I have not found any major purpose as of yet, but so far I set a good example to others (i am to many ppl, the more honest and good hearted person they know!), I spread a message of tollerance (which in modern days is an important one), and I reach out to those who are often unaccepted (in high school, my "posse" was the fat kid, the nerd, etc). So I'd say I'm generally on to a good start.

Je Suis La Vie To me, there could be a 'god', but I don't believe that we have to worship it. To me, worshiping something is quite stupid. I am a Buddhist though.
how can you be a Buddhist and not believe in worship? confused
anywho, I believe with my whole heart that there is a God. there is no unstableness in my faith on that because my soul is too important to me to gamble on.I believe in the God of Abraham,Isaic, and Jacob, the Great I Am, ect... I believe all humanity is born into sin because of Adam's mistake brought about by satan's rebellion towards God. I believe that God saw that people were being trapped by their sin and doesn't want them to go to hell (which was made by God for the punishment of sin, since the Bible says the wages of sin is death) And therefore loved us so much that He sent His son to earth who willingly died and bled and became sin and bore the punishment of the sin of every human being so that if we put our faith and life and belief on Him and accept that he paid the price for our sins, we might have eternal and everlasting life with God our Father.
This is the correctly named Christian faith.
if you have any questions for me, please go ahead and ask. I don't want anyone to hesitate ok.

Maybe ... I don't know. For the time being, I'm an atheist, but I suppose that if I want a happy life that I should follow a religion. I think that really, there is no "afterlife", we just die, we stop living, we have no soul, we become a life-less shell and bodies get buried in the ground and rot. But if I believed in a religion, then there would be an after-life, a heaven or hell, something to look forward to, to be with God. Looking at burial for religious reasons, we plant the bodies in the ground so that new life can come from the earth (Copyright FFVII ...). But what if there is a God, what if he/she/it gave me the life I have, and this is how I repay the Supreme Being? Back to one of the earlier posts, "I believe there is something bigger, better, ect. But is it God?", there is always someone or something better, something important, your parents, boy- and girlfriends, husbands, wives, those who know more, family, friends, ect. Pets are probably the best things that matter to you with pets, but they get the most s**t the world has ever seen. People don't appreciate that pets and animals have lives to. Every time you crush a fly, kick a dog, flick a bee, think that someone or something has taken their time to make that animal you just hurt, maybe not God, but the parents. Fellow humans get tortured every day, insulted, hurt, killed, someone or something made them too, taken their time to create that person and when you insult that person, you insult their makers for making them in-perfectly. If there is a god, why do they let bad things happen, the attack on the World Trade Center, the Izmit Earthquake, the death and starvation everyday, to the innocent people who do nothing wrong, the believers, the dis-believers, they are treated alike, the sinners and the do-gooders, so why are those who just live their life in harmony with everybody else are killed and tortured for nothing, they do nothing wrong yet are prosecuted for the wrongs of others, tell me, would a god, would the God do this to innocent people? But maybe there is a God, one that makes people live in harmony, to show others the error of their ways. "Deliver us from evil", they are sacrificed to keep others safe, the needs of the one or the needs of the many? If there is a God, am I doing wrong? Am I going to be sent to hell? But if I am, will God ever forgive me?
