Yoohooms, you are sweet . An evangelist me? I think not, softening my heart, well i am a very soft hearted kind person. Im a doer, will help anyone who needs it

Peachy some of the most powerful evanglist have been one that in there prechristian day did great harm to Chrisitans. They search until thejy could no longer.
The Palastinian's why do they hate Gods people if Gd does not exisit what's the big deal? Do they just like to fight? Here's a thought you wonder why American's are so bent on Gd? A condensed story for you George Washington fought with the Indians for land ect. He became feared by the Indians they thought him a Gd. One Indian relayed a story much later about incircling Washington and his men ,a shooting galery of sort. What was the clincher to the story the ndian Spoke of beingdirect lilne of sight. Washingtons jacket bullet wholes but washington did not get hit
Needless to say he was feared.. Was washington Gd or superman? Or one of Gods' kid's. God has no grandchildreen

For you Yoohoomrs :) no disrespect meant, these are just my thoughts.

MmMMM im still hell bent (excuse the pun) on thinking their is no god. God as creationists belive is the designer of everything, so that means everything was designed by intelligent design, yes??

This makes the so called God a very intelligent , complex designer, yes? If that is true, well who designed God?

The likely hood of having such an intelligent designer, God who created everything, is about as likely as a hurricane rushing into a junk yard, and viola!! a functional 747 jet is formed, not likely !

No God l think, evolution is the way, science is the way. As science seems to gain greater ground, religion/god beliefs seem to become more and more irrelavant, and more unlikely.

The USA was founded on secular ideas, keeping politics very separate from religion, the way it should be! Your founders would roll in their graves now seeing the mix of politics and religion.

The indians had it right l think with their own very important beliefs, which were ridiculed and forced into the mainstream beliefs.

Hey Yoohoomrs, maybe we should continue this conversation between ourselves, l would find that very interesting, as it seems now as only you and l have input..

So im going to add you as a friend, and hopefully in an intelligent way we can discuss and respect eachothers views! that would be lovely .

Your god religion belief, and me the athiest,

Palestine, the not easy answer, I think it is a complicated battle, and l have no idea why they hate jews. that political situation is so so complicated, l can see no end to that.

Still me the evanglisit no , but l do believe in love for all, and kindness.

I just love a damn good discussion, friends yes??

A recent Nobel Prize winner REdiscovered that the universe consisted of five things - Time, Force,Motion,Space,and Matter. This is explained in the first verse of the Bible. (Genesis 1:1)In the beginning =Time God=Force Created=Motion Heavens=Space and the Earth=Matter.
I don't think even Einstein could deny that.
Believing in God a person has nothing to loose. What do you profit if you gain the whole world but loose your own soul?

Dear peachybum,
I am not relgious, nor do I believe in god. I am a nonbeliever (atheist). I am okay and tolerant with others who have religious faith, convictions or belifs in a higher power. I in turn, hope others are just as okay and tolerant of my choice not to believe in those things. Everyone is different and everyone has a unique perspective on life and the afterlife. You have to find what works for you and accept that not everyone is of the same mindset. Love, tolerance,kindness, and acceptance to the differences we have make us all a little closer to being the same.

Sandylip, well said, I apreciate what you said "You have to find what works for you and accept that not everyone is of the same mindset. Love, tolerance,kindness, and acceptance to the differences we have make us all a little closer to being the same." I wish I was as eloquent and thoughtful. I'll resist stating any more faith statements

Im really enjoying all of the answers here, thank you. Parkiejan, , I completely understand the Time.Force.Motion,Space,Matter idea. But how do you equate god with force in that scenario.

I think l would equate force with evolution. I dont think the world was created with Viola (here you are) a functional earth, with humans all deriving from Adam and Eve, as the bible states?

how does a religious person explain fossils and dinosars. That is not written into the bible anywhere, and their is actual fact with hard evidence that this is what occured.

Sandilip, i do respect everyones opinions, this is just my curious nature asking questions, as to why people believe. Thats a lovely thing if you can believe. I BELIEVE IN LOVE, and science.

So for the believers here, out there somewhere, is a God, who can listen and intercept millions or possibly billions of prayers all at the same time , but selectively decides to grant some prayers (of which l dont believe, i call it positive thinking) and then mostly decides to ignore the rest of the religious praying for (whatever)

how can this God make a judgement, on who to grant miracles to, and who to ignore, l wonder what his/hers/its reasoning is.

And if this God does reason, and think, well it leans to being intelligent, and therefore itself has been designed/ created, therefore who created the creator?

Makes no sense at all! We are all an accident of evolution.

My thoughts on Jesus. So he was born of a virgin, and had no biological father who was involved.

That same fatherless man called out to a friend called Lazarus, who had been dead long enough to stink, but he promptly came back to life?

The fatherless man himself came alive after being dead and buried for three days

forty days later the fatherless man went up to the top of a hill then disappeared bodily into the sky

if you say to yourself the fatherless man and his father ( who is also himself) ( the trinity) that is weird enough?

But if you do something bad,or even do something good, the same fatherless man sees all, even if nobody else does. You maybe rewarded or punished accordingly, including after your death

The fatherless mans virgin mother never dies, but was assumed bodily into heaven

bread and wine if blessed by a priest (who must have testicles , meaning not being a woman) become the body and blood of the fatherless man

Mmmmm what would an objective antoropologist make of this story.

Hey if anyone is interested l could tell you all about the amazing , expensive scientific study conducted by the church into prayers, thats a good story

Have you ever explored your heart for a deeper peace and understanding? Accept Christ in your heart and you will experience a peace the world can't understand. I also have Parkinson's......

I honestly dont understand what that means, accept christ into my heart? I dont dispute that there was a Jesus, but l do not think he was the son of a God . (As i dont believe in God) I believe that there was a Jesus, a good man, with a good message, teaching people how to respect eachother, as for the published miracles in the bible, well no no no, didnt happen, just a fairy tale.

Why would believing in Jesus that he was the son of god , give peace? I dont understand that. Just because you believe that jesus was the son of a god, does not guarantee anything, does not guarantee you will go to heaven. Read the bible , I have. I cant remember the section where it advises who goes to heaven, but if l remember correctly the numbers are really ridicilious, on the low side, and the qualifications for getting there are impossible.

I have peace already.

If evelutiion where so then you woiuld still be seeing the results of it
