God IS ALIVE> GOD IS REAL. if you feel alone he's there to comfort you. If you need a friend he'll listen. I talk to him all the time! It's amazing what God can do for you. All you've got to do is ask him to live in your heart and he will.

The truth to all afterlife is easy to understand, once you realize that one day we will have developed supercomputers sufficient enough to create a simulation of mankind, and the God of that mankind made of individual artificial intelligence will simply be the programmer who wrote that piece of individual code.

Then in that simulation at one point those people will have developed their own artificial intelligence and will run a simulation in a simulation. Once you realize this stage in the future, it's a strong possibility that we are a computer simulation. And the infinite parallels of universe stacked on each other would all have gateways between them, the supercomputers which holds universes upon universes inside their memory.

On a different note, vaporizing is awesome. I'm pretty ripped, all i had was a 0.1 !

Interesting approximation of human existence through technological metaphor.

I was raised as a christian as well as my older brother. As he grew older he I noticed he wasn't for it as much. I myself am on treading water with the religion I accept but, have found my prayers answered [please dont flame] For example: Last night I said the longest prayed I have ever said and I asked god for my forgiveness and that he not send my brother to jail today when he went to probation. My brother was supposed to have a drug test today at noon and we smoked a joint like two days ago. Let's just say he's home safe with no worries. It's time's like this that make me think there is some superior.

A few interesting facts:

Christianity has between 1.5 billion and 2.1 billion adherents, representing about a quarter of the world's population.It is the state religion of at least sixteen countries.

In the Modern Era, Christianity was confronted with various forms of skepticism and with certain modern political ideologies such as liberalism, nationalism, and socialism. This included the anti-clericalism of the French Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and general hostility of Marxist movements, especially the Russian Revolution.
Christian commitments in Europe dropped as modernity and secularism came into their own in Western Europe, while religious commitments in America have been generally high in comparison to Western Europe. The late 20th Century has shown the shift of Christian adherents to the 3rd World and southern hemisphere in general, with Western Civilization no longer the chief standard bearer of Christianity.

not to be racist or anything, but could it be that europeans created what we would call "civilization" while black people did not progress at all and just stuck to their tribes and what not in africa, killing things with spears and living in huts while we developed guns and furnished homes? and the only reason blacks are on the same level as europeans now is because they were freed from slavery and allowed the same education system and what not?

call it racist, i call it truth

and i think alot of the reason people become atheist is because god never answered their prayers throughout life (i know he aint answered any of mine when i used to pray as a child) but then again god wont give you what you want all the time, but you'll get what you need and whats right, even if that means having the total opposite of your prayer happen, cuz everything happens for a reason

i dunno, i was listening to a country song today about unanswered prayers being the biggest blessings, n it got me thinkin a lil bit, the song was about how when the guy was younger he prayed for this girl who was his girlfriend and then brokeup with him, and later he metup with her while he was with his wife and found out she and him had totally changed and didnt have much to say to each other, and he realized that his unanswered prayer basically led to him meeting the love of his life, even though at the time he thought the other girl was the love of his life

i love country music, i wish the singers would write their own god damn songs though, makes it kinda lame, but i just give props to whoever writes the good meaningful songs
