agnostic. I know too many religious people that will wind up going to hell because they mistake everything the bible says. I'm not jumping on that band wagon, that's for sure.

Protestant. I practice low-christology. I think Jesus was a
human, and he was a normal everyday guy until he was 30 and started his
public life. I dont believe in hell. It's dumb; just a
scaretactic. I think that if you are a good person and arnt a
**edited** to otherpeople you will go to heaven. If you arnt you wont.

I'm sort of an agnostic.
Thw way I look at it is: We do not know if there is an after life or not. We also have no way of proving it (think of Plato, then re-read the last sentance). We might as well stop worring about things that we cannot even beging to prove or comprehend (the "after life") so we might as well rock out now, and have as much fun as we can now (with in the bounds of "morals" and the law)
(By "We" I mean the human race at large.) (By "morals" I am referring to the whole judeao/christian value system, and the 10 commandments. I know it is sort of ironic if you think about it, then re-read my post, but the way I look at it is that that value system is the fairest and most balanced that we can come up with. )

Maybe because he chose to give everyone free will. He doesn't
force anyone to go heaven that doesn't want to own their own.
Also, for those who said they are christian, but don't let anything
pass their own judgement. Your own judgement is the only thing
that can keep you from being a christian. The only thing you can
do to get into heaven (according to the Bible) is surrender all to
him. Surrending isn't going "Alright, but I'm not giving this up,
it's my judgement."

You go to hell by turning your back on god. I hate it these people who say "I dont believe in hell" Then go and and talk about heaven. In the bible, hell was created when lucifer fell from heaven. Its a place for lucifer and the other angels that rebelled. It just shows your own ignorance of your own religion to say "i dont believe in hell, if i dont belive in it, i cant go there" ive heard this one a lot too.

I like how you use the word "hate" in every other post, and boast on

When you think about it, if you're evil and Satan is evil why would he torture you? Why wouldn't he be like, hey let's hit a strip joint. So that gives me the notion that satan isn't really evil but just the "bad guy" parent who does the punishing. I beleieve in Heaven and Hell and think all the good folks will go to heaven whiel the evil people wont. My CCD teacher used to tell me that all these evil guys would go to heaven anyway.

Satan doesn't torture you for fun, but God can't use someone
successfully with sin in their life, so when satan tempts you and you
submit you're only furthering yourself away from God. Which is
satan's entire objective.
And there are going to be alot of "good" people going to hell
(according to the Bible), because they didn't submit their lives.
Submission and a relationship with Jesus Christ is the only way into
Heaven.

Well, I believe that Satan will be tortured along with the other people in hell. I don't think he's a ruler of hell, just another victim of it.

We will all see one day because Jesus IS coming back.
Once you accept Jesus in your heart you can feel that he is indeed real and your Savior.

At this point it isnt even an issue of if I choose to believe or not.
I choose not to follow a "Being/higher power" just because "it" feels it can bully mankind into conformity under the guise of "free will." By "God" saying it is "my way or Hell," he does not present a true option of choice. It is more in the realm of forced conformity. Also, I choose not to follow a being that is hypcritical and intolerant to those that dont choose to be a Christian conformist.
If I burn in Hell for my actions or choices that I made during my existance, than so be it but at least I will know that didnt blindly conform just so that I could have a pleasant after death existance.
I dont think it matters if God exists or does not. I would live my life the exact same way even if I had a prefect knowledge of a God's existance or non-existance.

Strangely, I finally realized that this is what I believe a few months ago. You can't prove God exists because to do so would remove the need for our free will. I think you can have it proven to you after you have enough faith to believe... but I digress.
I really don't like these threads. They get pretty nasty, particularly with all sides bashing everyone else.
I really should get around to my 'religion thread' idea I've been planning for a while. I think the forum's calmed down enough to try it. Details will follow when I post it.

Not true, I'll get the scripture when I get back from school.
And there IS proof and points to the validity of the bible, and I'll get those once I'm back from school as well.......

You should research before you make that decision. You are sinful and GOD isnt he cant be around you with sin because you would die instantly. Jesus was the only person that lived a sinless life so he took them for us. He is the only way to be with GOD who loves you regardless of how you feel about them.

If my only mortal sin is not believing in a "God" and having not faith in "its" saving grace, then I think I will have lived a good life. If this doesnt earn me eternal salvation and I end up being just an altered state of energy, I am comfortable with that.
I gave nearly 20 years to religion, and religious research before I came to my findings/conclusions. I found too many kinks or what I would concider fallicies to believe in "religion."
I am not ruling out the possiblity that a "God" does exist but I feel that if one did exist, it would have very little similiarities to what is believed to be God currently.
Personly it is comforting to pretend/believe that there is someone out in the universe looking out for me, but is that feeling enough for me to believe it? I personally dont think so.

True, it is not reason alone discredit a belief or existance of God but motive is one big factor and having the eteral, All knowing, All powerful being on ones side is enough for most people to accept it.
Hmm.. Comforting to know someone is oout there to protect me from any harm and save me if I just ask believe or all alone in the big ever expanding universe at the mercy the earth's element and/or social deviants.

God never says no hard will come to you. Nor does he say that we are all alone in the universe. Actualy, in the bible it hints quit to the contrary. There is a passage were god says "I have spoken to another flock" I think this might mean aliens. Lots of very interesting stuff.

I started this topic I never it expected it to as far as aliens ok.
Here is what i believe:God sent his only son Jesus Christ to die for our sins upon a cross. In his death our sins were paid for in blood. However we must believe and confess our sins and ask for forgiveness and for Jesus to come and live within our hearts so that one day we may enter the kingdom of fire.
On another not hell is real God wants no one to go there, but if one chooses to turn away the greatest gift anyone will ever have the chance to accept. then hell will be your eternal home.
There is a scripture in the bible that somes all of this let me recite it to you all: JOHN3:16 , For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever will believe in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

Eh, it wasnt the world that was flooded. More likely the area between the two rivers, or the firtile creasent. And its not that far fetched. And besides, much of exodus is parables and not fact anyway.

You started the thread only to voice your own opinion?
I hate to tell you, but I believe that it's all crap. I believe that we came from an evolving race of humaniod creatures, all of which have been dug up and shown to have existed over 2 million years ago. Each dying out when they could not survive the drastic weather changes and continental shifts. I believe that when you die, that's it, no more.

How is it the same god when the writings are different, the goals and means on getting to the afterlife are different? That makes people act different, conduct their lives differently, and have regard for other religions differently. If it is the same god, then how do you explain many of the other religions that have come up, with just as good of arguments as christianity. Shintuism, Buddhism, mythology.

Exactly Faith is nothing more than believing something strongly through your heart. And yes there are religions that have more followers than christianity such as Islam and their faith is remarkable i mean blowing yourself up for your god that is strong faith unfortunatly it is not the right path.

Faith is usually blind by definition.. belief in something without concrete or even substantial evidence.
I know for a fact that God exists, but I can't prove it to anyone because my facts sound absolutely absurd. Like I said, I don't think you can prove that God exists to a person unless they already believe to some extent. I try as hard as I can to get people thinking, hoping that some day somebody might be intrigued enough to try it.
