Smart, ambitious and aggressive.

that's a very good point.

HA! How freakin awesome is that!!!

I keep going onto religion boards and trying to spark up conversations... i should know better by now all the same old replies... it hurts my head. I should know all the answers by know, and i do... but i still ask the questions.

i don't know if my wording was messed, but i'm not trying to say multiple gods. But why don't you believe in the buddhist principles? Or Zeus instead of your god... not believing in multiple ones. What makes you say that the god you believe in is in fact actually there at all?

Also, believing that you gave me one million dollars is just a little more believable than a jew walking on water, turning water into wine, and being the son of god... so it takes less away from my character to try and believe that you did that.

With extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence is required.

that comment makes me laugh.

But you're not answering my question. Why do you believe that's true? I certainly believe that so long as you live to my morals you're a good person, but morals are objective, and everyone has different ones. YOu believe some people who are good will be viewed kindly by a "god" but why do you say that? Many doctrines say that there are other factors they must adhere to to be accepted in return.

Why do you believe that? Most religions say he does care very much.

OKay, but why do you believe in that god instead of say the muslim version, or Zeus? etc.

I don't think it will come in my life time... we're making good progress, but places like Texas are making it hard to actually educate someone without religious bias and indoctrination... so entire generations are going to be put behind.

... i feel like reading Assassins Apprentice every time i see your profile pic :)

the natural, real world. And what i don't understand about that, i don't try to attribute to mystical/spiritual/divine forces. I just hope that eventually we might be closer to understanding, and in that time, maybe we can move further away from religions that invoke fear.

Hehehe... you know we have our crossroads of opinion quite often, but i must say i never tire of your posts.

NOt to mention the metal frame underneath it.

Well that's not true. You have to accept that Jesus Christ is your savior and love him before you get the gift.

And also, that's what ALL religions say. "There is an "absolute truth" it is basic, but most people don't recognize the flying spaghetti monster as their savior."

What you just gave isn't an answer at all.

OOOOooooorrrr... there is no god, lightning is a natural occurrence and the statue was a good conductor... maybe? yeah... i think that's what a smart person would say.

As i'm here on this forum, and i've talked with many of you before, i feel as if i'm talking to primarily christians on this forum. However i know that i've also talked with other Mormons, Jews and Muslims.

My question is Why don't you believe in another god, or another worship of your god. For instance christianity has hundreds of different sub-sects, many of which believe that others will not reach salvation because of the alteration of their faith.

Ultimately it comes down to semantics. Do you believe in your ways of faith because of the way you were raised? Did you research all known religions before you made your decision? Do you believe that your religious "knowledge" is more right than another persons.

Ultimately, why do you believe that you are right?

To me, one religion is as false as the other. All religion is is personalized. We see more and more of people who no longer attend a church, but instead adhere to their own form of spiritual adhesion. They read their spiritual texts and then believe more in their own interpretation more than other scholars'.

Discuss.

Thanks
