exactly (previous post) religion tells people what to do so they dont have to think for themselves
and what religion tells us to do changes all the time! it reflects what people WANT it to tell them to do!
ie, in the middle ages, religion told us to burn whiches, religion tells anti-abortionists to.. i dunno, do their thing
religion tells terrorists what to do religion tellls doctors what to do(yes of course it tells people to do a lot of positive stuff to... but r u seriously telling me that if it wasn't for the bible.. u wouldn't know that stealing/killing was wrong?)

well here's another idea... if you want to talk about the existence of God, why not talk about the existence of Satan? If there is a God at work, why couldn't their be another being at work trying to fool things up, and shit...
but really, this discussion is pointless, cause we each have our own views, and we're not gonna prove anyone right or wrong...

When you say "when we die..thats it gone" .... there could be life after death, i.e. re-incarnation - but then that's 'off topic' isn't it?

The idea of Satan being responsible for all the bad things, is the same as God responsible for all the good things - I personally prefer to think that these things just happen, and it's out of our control (to a certain extent!)

ya if satan were responsible for all bad things.. and humans were responsible for all good things.. (even though "good" and "bad" are human creations themselves..) then u dont have to think very hard to realize that just doesn't work!
then are humans (or any other living thing) not responisble for anything good or bad that they do?
r we just puppets? (yes, god/satan must be making me type this right now)
plus everyone's definition of good/bad is subjective some might say sept 11 was satans work... and people somewhere else are thanking god for this merical

exactly good and bad are defined by society...which is created by man good nor bad were created by any god
they do not exist...only where sociarty defines them do they have precidence

I guess I am a Christian and stuff, and I have experienced all the things about being turned off from Christianity and all that... I once scrapped my beliefs in God, because of all that which is stupid... I do believe in God, so who cares what other people do... so that's my view now, I don't let other peoples hypocrisy bother me, cause I'm sure people probably think I'm a hypocrite... well, all I can say to someone who might think that is that I'm not perfect... as far as proof of the existence of God, well I have personal proof... I've experienced things in my life, personal things, that prove to me that God does exist... now I know that's not good enough for a lot of people...

The idea of re-incarnation is hard to get to grips with for me . . the fact that you wouldn't remember the life you had, in a previous life...and so on!

jedi chris, ya i dont take the idea of reincarnation that seriously.. but still, i would not pre-emptively (spelling?) dismiss it
those little kids that remember shit are pretty cool... but like i said i have to read more.. and i think that chances are overwhelming that it has some other explanation

of course most religions are based on pretty nice ideals.. but no-one actually follows through on them
they believe only as far as is convenient for them

I think that Christians have a bad name because a small part of the Christian population may be hypocrites who preach one thing, and do another, and judge people, and all that... but true Christians are not like that, and it's a shame that Christians have been stereotyped like that... and another thing that you must realize, nothing about Christianity says that you become perfect when you become a Christian... sometimes I feel like people expect that... the thing is, we have certain beliefs, and we TRY to stick by them as best as possible...
