Well I guess I will weigh in on this subject....

I personally believe that there is a God, yet He/She is nothing like what we humans think God is like. IMO, God is like a big ball of pure energy, light if you will..... now, at some point God wanted to know himself/herself, but being God, being the ALL, that was quiet difficult, because you cannot know what you are, until you know what you are not. So to rectify the situation, God "split" itself into an infinate amount of "Godstuff" (that would be me, you, and everything living thing on earth)..... In essence, I believe that we are all God, as we are here to allow God to experience things through us. If you clear your mind, calm your body.... and just listen.... you can many times hear the whisper of God in your ear.... or feel the kiss of God upon your skin as the wind rushes by..... or see God in the eyes of an animal or child.

As to the spiritual part of it..... I believe in the supernatural powers of God, and I believe that each of us has the ability to re-member how to use the supernatural powers that are inside all of us. For instance, when you grow close to another person, many times you learn to anticipate what they are thinking.... know what they will say before they say it.... ect.
Now, many people would chalk that up to just learned knowledge about your friend.... however, I have "freaked" people out on many an occassion, because I possess the power to understand, deeply understand, whatever pain it is that is occurring to my friend at that moment. I have the power to take some of thier pain into myself, giving them a bit of relief. And, I beleive that we all have the ability to do that, but we have to KNOW that we can, and we have to be willing to love another person as equally as we love ourselves, our car, our house, or even our family. That is what we are here for.... those who have found their path, and know with an unwavering faith who and what they are, are charged with helping others to locate the path. That doesn't mean we TELL another were their path is.... for each person's path is different.... but we support them, even when they choose the wrong path, with an understanding that it is up to them which way they will go.... and in the grand scheme of things.... we are but a small 'blip' on the cosmic timeline.

Our earth is 3.5-4.5 BILLION years old.... our NASA programs have recently uncovered planetary systems that are 60 BILLION Lightyears from Earth.... and yet we still fight and kill because we think we are the be all and end all in the WHOLE process..... it is really quiet laughable to me.... to think that we are soo important. Of course, I must handle people with patience, because many of them think this world didn't begin until the times of just before Moses and Noah.... that is what they have been taught. Having been raised in a Fund. christian family.... my mother was always cautioning me as to what I read, and it wasn't until I was out of the family home that I began to discover just how wrong my parents understanding of this world was.

So.... shelve the bickering and the fighting.... and let all people have thier own opinion about things. Stop trying to "bring them over" to your way of thinking, and just rejoice in the diversity that is human life on this planet.

Cool

Thank God for you Mayor_LaLa.
That is the most intelligent thing I've read all week, fair play.
You know, Isaac Newton, when he wasn't thinking about apples in orbit around some strange planet, used to spend most of time attempting to crack the Torah code The Equidistant Letters Sequences in the first five books of the Torah he believed, as traditional Jewish belief suggested, that encoded in the Torah is a documented account of everything that has ever happend, or shall happen.is encoded into the first five books.
_Prof. Eliyahu Rips, the man who claims to have cracked the code using a computer, suggested that ther might even be a more detailed account of everything that ever happend, or will happen, written into the fabric of the Universe itself.
Just as isaac Newton once did.
.
Sorry to ramble on there I'm a bit stone..
But yea, I'll go along with that.

Smile Related but kind of not related..?

"i think, therefore i am".
If you question the existence of a god, then you question everything that the HUMAN existance is about. I am, for one, a questioner of the existence of anything beyond the physical existance plane. But the more i looked the more backwards it got. I would always end up at the ever looming question "How do i exist?", let alone a "heavenly being" that is apparently responsible for all things that you see before you today, but still can't mannage to help his/her/it's apparent children. If we are "Gods children" we must be bastard childs or something or other? But what i'm so desperately trying to get at is, how can we be dealing with oh so many deep, confronting issues when we don't even know ourself (the inner workihgs of the human mind and reason for OUR existence). Or maybe we should just accept? All i know is that we should be trying to solve the things that we know exist in the first place before we trivialise over myths and legends.

We are real yet we do not know how so...
...but i guess we all just get side tracked with the trivial issues. And just one for the road...
What are your views on the meaning of life?
To accuire utopia, complete knowledge of all that is around us or is it just purely to pass on the genetic code within all of us?

Put on a bit of Tool smoke a J and give it a thaught.

Lightbulb Ah...another one

Christians, (sorry lads), taking up space.
Atheism is just as ridiculous as Christianity. We are monkeys just down from the trees. We have problems thinking about anything infinite. Just as we have a problem with anything beginning from nothing. Nothing is infinite by the way. Just as infinity is nothing.
I don't mean to be cruel about the Christians it's just I find their arguments totally uninspiring and meaningless. Equally as meaningless as the arguments put forward by the Atheists.
Mayor_LaLa you sound like a very interesting girl. I would like to know more about you.
Someonehigh, you also sound interesting, yet very pissed off. Who could blame you. But I would like you to know that everyone in this world at some point or another shall curse God, existence or what ever in such a manner as you have. You are not alone my friend.

~AETHIESM~

First off to Stunty like the old adage goes my friend:

"He who decides a case without hearing the other side, even if he decides justly, cannot be considered just"

So on the affirmative argument on religions you loose all attention, all i hear is a diatribe nothing but noisome words no matter how jocular u state it is you wont go far with that.

The way i feel about religion is quiet evident i feel religion is SUPERSTITION and what is SUPERSTITION?:

-To belive in spite of evidence or without evidence.
-To account for one mystery by another.
-To belive that the world is governed by chance or caprice.
-To disregard the true relation between cause and effect.
-To put thought, intention and design back of nature.
-To belive that mind created and controls matter.
-To belive in force apart from substance, or in susbstance appart from force

i can go on and on about atheism but if u are an atheist like really passionate about it then u wouldnt have to follow societys rules and norms so basically religion thats been altered my many people including kings the most who tangled it to theyre liking is just basically rules they set up to keep people in line and not get out of hand in there perception and i honestly cant take that one bit i respect others TOLERENCE but i try n make it obvious like this for example:

if i belive something to be true, it is because of the weight of eveidencein it's favour, not because of superstition, wishfull thinking or the assertionsof religious leaders. (if a church changes it's views on a subject, followers are expected to simply cease believing the old version and start believing the new- X was true yesterday, but now Y is true and X is false) just my opinion thou.

GROWW ONN-peace o u t

Edit- one more thing Benjamin Franklin was an aethiest ... wich is why he wanted to know more beyond what "god" created so he took hes kite n key ...but he wasnt all good he had (not precise cause its what i heard from my anthropology teacher from class) but about 6 kids outside his marrige and his son deliberately joined the opposing army cause he hated his father soo much soo Ben there didnt follow the norms either but he said nothing about it to the rest or else he wouldnt be what he was. But he questioned and went about finding an answer! wich is mutual to Aethiests...

hehe, thanks so much.... what would you like to know? Ask away, and don't worry too much about offending me, as I am not easily offended. I am a pretty open person, and if you ask something I would prefer not to share, I will tell you, all I ask is that you not be offended if I decide to refrain from telling all there is to know about me at this point.... lol, a girl has to hang on to some mysteries.

Red face What?

Nice speech HighAztec. And I’m sure there are a lot of heads nodding in agreement with you.
A couple of things you pointed out I feel need an explanation though.

1:Quote "He who decides a case without hearing the other side, even if he decides justly, cannot be considered just"
What makes you so sure I haven’t seen both sides? Most Atheists I know come from very religious background.

2:Quote ‘So on the affirmative argument on religions you loose all attention’
At what point did you make your mind up as to what it is I actually believe?

3:Quote ‘The way I feel about religion is quiet evident I feel’
With this I presume you mean the evidence for religion is in the feelings you experience when contemplating existence. We’ll I agree, the evidence is certainly there. As to what that evidence actually proves, has so far, been claimed by nobody else except the only two schools of belief, arrogant enough to do so. Let’s have a look what you said again, ‘religion is quite evident’, Mm...
The other school guilty of such single narrow mindedness brings me to my next point.

4 ‘I can go on and on about atheism but if u are an atheist like really passionate about it then u wouldn’t have to follow society’s rules and norms and then there would be total chaos so basically religion that’s been altered my many people including kings the most who tangled it to they’re liking is just basically rules they set up to keep people in line and not get out of hand in there perception and i honestly cant take that one bit i respect others TOLERENCE but i try n make it obvious like this for example’
Who said I am an Atheist? Atheism is a belief isn’t it?
You go on about rules and regulations like you’re convinced that that’s what religion actually provides you with. I don’t need to mention how many wars, deaths and over population of our species religion is responsible for in this planets history.
Atheism in my opinion, is as blind and as arrogant as Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism………You get the picture. So before I draw your attention to point one again I would thank you for any apology you feel you may owe.

5: Quote ‘all i hear is a diatribe nothing but noisome words no matter how jocular u state it is you won’t go far with that’
So far you have pigeon holed me, judged me and insulted me.
Pointing out the style in which something has been written, and putting it on a platform of self righteous pomposity for like shallow minded idiots to ridicule reminds me of how the church once used the evolution of the eye, to belittle and render timid the theory of evolution. Well joking aside my friend, if you think that I’m going to crumble and run away you are very much mistaken.

Maybe this time you will hear me.
We are animals, a primitive form of intelligence making uneducated assumptions as to what exists beyond what we know to be real, all due to our inadequacy to accept the harsh, naked truth of this existence and be happy with it.
If there is a God so what? Likewise if there is no God then so what.
NOTHING IS INFINATE. INFINITY IS NOTHING

don't u think we r such an incredible creation? have u ever thought about what runs our body ??? what keeps our bod breathin when we r asleep what keeps our heart pumpin our brain workin,what is our energy source (a car uses a battery etc). my personal belief is that we r all a piece of god/creator like a star shattering into a billion pieces and everything we do we do it for the experience. it is no coincedence that we have FREE WILL (even though religion and government say u cant use it!). i also believe what someone was saying about quantam physics.

hello stunty, so you believe this is the only reality, isn't it possible that there r other such realities on other dimentions? mind blowing but just because we don't see them, doesn't mean they r not there. our eyes only see what our brain believes!

i'm not judging anybodies beliefs or religion, i'm just asking the question "isn't anything possible"
