So long we are alive we are thankful to 'God'.
What is the ultimate goal of the life?

******* and money

I am constantly trying to discover that answer,,,,so far my best guess is the goal is to make a positive impact upon the world....to leave behind inspiration and hope for others,,

i guess for some people it's to thank "god"...

good point, we are also here (according to common belief) to give glory to God,,,and there are many ways in which we might do that


I think one of those ways is leaving a positive impact, inspiration, and hope

Isn't that just a religeous belief, not a common belief?

...to touch......that which in spirit form is unobtainable..

I think its both,,,

It was a marvelous creation indeed. Three dimensions, color, sound, light, taste, touch, feel, and it all seems so real!

Good Job everyone!! Keep up the good work.

This would be better posted in "Christian singles" but I'll answer it anyway.

Everyone has a purpose to their life. Maybe it's to minister, feed the hungry. I don't know. Nobody know their purpose until they ask.

That's why the "Meaning of life" is not known. It's different for everyone.

Now I'm wondering why you think that this would better be posted in the "Christian singles?" Christians don't own God. I believe in God and having a purpose in life -- and I'm not a Christian.

It's not that they "Own" God. Nobody "Owns" God. God is a living being. You can't "own" God.

However God does have a way of working. He does have rules and ways that he does things. I think it would be better posted in "Christian singles" Because those people would actually know what they are talking about!

Nobody would argue about fables or scientific theory's. They would give this person the correct answer! Not some off the wall nonsense about ghosts or lawn gnomes or what not

Now you are saying that only Christians know what they are talking about when it comes to God.



That is exactly what I mean when I say that Christians don't own God. Stop hogging the God concept.

But if you want, why not post another one in the Christian singles forum. Then you can go there and you won't have to deal with other people's concepts of God.

The point I am trying to make is your assumption that only Christians know anything about God and can discuss this subject. That is "owning God."

Here you are claiming that Christianity has the correct answers and nobody else's ideas are right, not even science.




Here you are expressing you view of what God is and what 'he' does etc. And you are stating that only Christians know what they are talking about when it comes to God.

If you don't call that trying to "own" God then I don't know what it is. You are owning the concept of God and making the claim that it is the only correct one.

Everyone else who believes in God doesn't know what they are talking about. That is what you ARE SAYING.

You are owning God.

I hope this clears things up about what I mean by "owning God."

Someone feels attacked...

Just because others have concepts about God does not make them true.

Atheists don't "Own" evolution! I'm free to believe that the earth rides on the back of giant turtle! That is my concept.

I don't feel attacked at all. I just want you to realize that when you say things like that that you are trying to claim that Christians OWN GOD. You don't even realize you are doing it.

And nobody is talking about owning evolution. I did not mention evolution and I don't ever talk about 'evolution.' I don't even know why you even brought that subject up. Its completely OFF TOPIC.



And that statement INCLUDES YOU and Christianity. So stop trying to own God.

That's like telling an atheist they own evolution.

They don't own it. They simply know what they are talking about.

I created a parody religion in which we all evolve from advanced clowns. Does that mean that what I say holds water? (Seltzer water maybe) No, just because someone tells you something (Like that God is female) does not mean you should believe it. Or that it holds water.

If what the other person says matches what you read in the Bible or know about God for a fact. Then yes, it's the truth.

Which is why I said this person should ask people who know God for the answer.

Atheism is an example.

Long story short Christians do not own God.

If you want advice on how to handle a cold you see a doctor
If you want to know how the world works you talk to a scientist
If you want to know about God who do YOU think you talk to?

Someone who has their own idea? OR Someone who studies that sort of thing?

You go to the person with the facts. The person who studies it. Anyone else is guessing.

See you assume that all atheists MUST believe in evolution. You pit your religion against evolution probably because it is more scientific and logical than your religion so it poses more of a threat to your beliefs. I know many atheists who know nothing about evolution and just don't really care to know.

If I tell someone I don't believe in their Christian concept of God many people automatically jump to the conclusion that I believe in evolution and that I am going to defend evolution. I don't know squat about evolution, sorry to disappoint them. They are all ready with their arguments and they are sorely disappointed.

I know God just as much as any Christian. You think Christians own God. My relationship with God is personal and I am not Christian, nor am I an "evolutionist."

Atheism has nothing to do with what I am saying here. You say that Christians do not own God, then walk the walk. Stop implying, and insisting that they do.

You assume that only Christians "study" about God. Are you serious? Are you living under a rock?

You said that only they know what they are talking about when it comes to God. That is you saying that Christianity owns God.

If this does not clear things up, then you just have blinders on.
