Hell, a place on earth?

clifwilson @clifwilson (31) • United States 21 Mar 07

Have you ever felt as though you might have unknowingly died and are in hell as we speak? Do you find it strange that you're only allowed a certain amount of happiness before everything comes crashing down? Do you have people in...

Lailamaria Hello I see that you and I are the only people here who want to be one with God. This formulation we could perhaps come back to, it is much better than going to hell as we speak. Well, over thirty years ago I have had really bad and awful feelings, which...

GOD - She or He?

coffeechat @coffeechat (1961) • New Zealand 21 Feb 07

I wonder why many religions refer to god as a male. In all my readings I have not come across any credible justification of why God should be either male or female. Inviting discussion on why you think God should be considered...

god does not exist

god exists only in the mind of the believer

god is a female

god is a male

god is gender neutral
