im just wondering because it seems like you have no hope.
please set me straight.
I believe that by the passions of two people, I was concieved and created in the womb. My first breath at birth and there after is all that's important. I can't change the beginning of time and I can't stop its end. In between, I do the best I can.
I believe you can do better, much better

| I'd also like to know what "hope" you speak of. I don't believe there's anything supernatural interfering in our lives and judging us based on actions in order to dole out gifts after death, so I believe it's important to enjoy life and make it enjoyable for others and our descendants. Simple, no? because you dont believe in God does that make your belief true? As for death, I don't fear it. If you think about the actual atomic make-up of your body, the raw materials for your atoms were floating around this universe for billions of years until they were forged into atomic elements in the bellies of stars and drifted into this lump we call earth, then a few more billion years of interacting with each other until we got this wonderful little glimpse of life (yes, 70 to 100 years is insignificant on a cosmic time scale), then we go back to being elements in a big recirculating system for who knows how many more billions of years. Stars burn out and die, why shouldn't we? The stars were made for us. I actually believe i am a little bit more complex than that | |

I believe in facts and evidence, regardless of whether this gives me hope or not. I have no interest in false hope. I do not make up my mind to believe whatever makes me feel the best. I can believe all day that I am an immortal billionaire that every woman on Earth finds absolutely irresistable, and that may make me feel fantastic, but it wouldn't make that true. It would make me delusional.
“A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence” - David Hume
Are you saying i have false hope? well i dont. Christianity is built on foundations of centuries of evidence that have been proven through prophesies. Man has access to God if he so chooses. many dont of course and live a life with little possibilities. My relationship with Jesus leads me to endless possibilities. things i cant even imagine. do i sound delusional, well good then. i guess im crazy to you but thats ok. i have a very open mind, do you?
religious believers clearly have tendencies to make-up "facts" and "evidence" rather than accept true research and admit even the simplest of belief failures.
they have strange ceremonies that are virtually pointless but are said to have special significance or power.. we all know certain 'christians' alive today who are fully prepared to argue that they might never die!
couldn't it be argued that such a reversion into childlike fantasy is a telltale sign of mental illness?
Gladiator I believe in the trinity God the Father, the son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, any one of these Gods can take care of all of your gods with one breath.

ok hamilcarr this statement you have posted is very telling. So they basically believe in the world and the things of the world. they believe that they can make the world better by their own means. yeah ok that makes sense i guess

Gladiator, You must know these gods you have mentioned are false gods. Only Jehovah is the true God. You are not free of illusion if you think these gods will do anything for you. God is alive and actively working in my life. What are your gods doing for you? I will pray for you to Jehovah the All-Powerfull Mighty God!
