you cowards...
so wrapped up in your own promises of immortality to accept the fact that you will die. You're afraid to die, and religion, is your garuntee for immortality. It's sad...
I can tell that nothing I say is going to get anywhere with any of you. Every time I finish my statement you all change the subject. You get off topic or you broaden the focus so much that there is no real focus at all. Science doesnt claim to know everything. But they're the only ones willing to admit it.
"The first step in knowing everything is admitting that we know nothing." -
druidgirl Newbiethat's very...deep...idk what to say...but that is so true

alright I'll add my opinion because I can tell everyone of you is begging for it. Just Kidding.
So I read Bob's first post and then there was a series of long posts that I didn't want to get involved in so this is directed towards Bob's first post.
The way you became removed from Christianity is was wrong. The idea that God put other religions on this earth, to screw with our mids and test is total bull. Is that a Catholic teaching or is a that a proclaimed thought of yourself? I don't know catholic teachings. Anyway, those religions I believe are man-made. god gives us free will. Based off of that thought I can see where it's easy to get off-track. I struggle believing in the whole "God" idea sometimes too when I hear about all the tragedies on this Earth. But you know, I think God let the humans kindoff take over after Noah's ark. And all tragedies come from us. I'll wait for your reply b/c I know there's one coming about natural disasters and how that's our fault -
I wasnt only referring to christianity. I have done my research and have found that every religion has a skeleton in its closet. It doesnt matter what religion it is, at some point there will always be hatred, lies, denial, ignorance, and power hunger. And we are supposed to ignore all of that, the very foundations for what we are told to believe, just because we have faith? The idea of faith is something that bothers me. It's willingly saying, "I'm going to close my eyes and deny anything that can be proven because my life isnt really mine."
And you're telling me that my concepts were wrong when I was 8 years old. I've heard a dozen different people tell me why it's wrong and a dozen different people all seem to have a dozen different reasons. No one really knows about anything and the only thing that anyone has in common is the invisible man that lives in the sky. -
Why didn't that change your perspective. How can you backup the concept. I tell you, my concept can be backed up more in the bible than yours.
And how did you get that concept? Is it your own personal thoughts or is it a Catholic teaching.
Bob, there are frauds in everything, this isn't a perfect world. -
I am not afraid to die. I accept the fact that it is inevitable.
You had better not have been talking to me. -
I just stated I don't understand how there could be nothing to live for. I never said I was afraid of death. Get the stick out of your ass and listen to me, what I said was the opposite. I believe death can be f---ING HONORABLE!!!
If anything, YOU are scared to have faith. -
And I admit I don't know damn f---ing everything.
Before you bring that BULLs--- on me let me get something else straight.
I don't believe in my beliefs as a promise of immortality. I believe in it because I'm sure it's there.
So you jump to INSULTING MY HONOR just to prove your silly point. You sir, are an idiot. -
I'm practically spamming here, but I have another one.
Don't go and say "Klingons don't believe in the afterlife because they aren't scared! They have honor!!!!!1!"
First off if you say that you know nothing about Klingons. They believe in the afterlife and faith. But not as some petty promise of immortality. (LIKE WHAT I WAS GETTING AT)
I know it's not the Christian afterlife. But it is still an afterlife.
If anything, you have no honor, and will not be willing to prove otherwise. You'll probably try to give some robotic explanation of how there is no such thing as "honor" or "courage" because you can't see an embodiment of it with your own eyes. -

(my klingon is rusty) -
WTF, I looked that up and it gave me "I do know Klingon I am hope against make you look that honor and glory able be won lack help forth LORD out does neither have against be heaven for out against be honor against your actions"
-
then you and I have a different translator.
I said something along the lines of,
I do know klingon. I am hoping to make you see that honor and glory can be won without help from a god. You dont need a heaven to have honor for your actions. -
Well that's nice.
I already knew that though.
Again, I just figured that we had to live on somehow, otherwise there just didn't seem to be much of a point in being here.
And I believe in God, not as an imaginary being I made up for answers but because I know in my heart he exists.
Probably doesn't make much sense.
But if I had made my belief around a need for comfort I would add that everything is good and there's nothing bad and unicorns crap sparkles in the sky.
