Do you really believe there is a God???

I completely disagree with you. I see your point on the wars and such in Gods name.... however... that does not discribe every person that believes in God. I do not like the wars in Gods name... and I am certainly not stupid or criminal minded... or dishonest for that matter. I do not push my beliefs on people, and I do not call them stupid for their beliefs. And I dont believe what i believe because it was pushed on me... I believe it because that is what I feel in my heart to be real! I do however, feel sorry for those who have nothing to believe in and have faith in, to me it seems like there would be a horrible void in your life. But.. still yet.. I would never push my beliefs on them either. So before you go calling people stupid please dont try pushing your beliefs on people either. Thanks

Italysmom, Thanks for disagreeing with me. So before you go calling people stupid please dont try pushing your beliefs on people either. Did i push my beliefs on you? In that case I would have asked to straight to give up your faith and start following my way. All that I said is i find believers stupid in their behaviour. that is my view. I see your point on the wars and such in Gods name priests have a vested interest. their craft can last only as long as they hide the real intention behind it. for that they will do anything. history is proof of their acts. lie, deception, fraud etc. not necessarily wars as you seem to assume. I do however, feel sorry for those who have nothing to believe in and have faith in, to me it seems like there would be a horrible void in your life. You don't need to feel sorry for me. that means you want to intervene while denying that you are not pushing your faith on others. this is subtle coercive method. I have something to believe, that is in myself. if it seems horrible void to you, so be it. I live a life of a content man. I trust myself, considers myself capable of achieving my goals. i have been taught that god accepts only self respecting individuals, not beggars who surrender meekly. Sweetchariot, In the Bible it says that Jesus instructed his disciples to go about doing his work, in his name. jesus could have done his work, if he was capable. this sentence gives out a message how cunning jesus was, to get his work done through others in his name. precisely this is how priests live off the masses without doing any work themselves. he could have told his disciples to do the work. that was the right way. jesus was merely taking credit for the work done by his disciples.

In the Bible it says that Jesus instructed his disciples to go about doing his work, in his name. But if someone refused to listen, they should just brush off their feet, and walk away, from that person. As I read your response...my actions are to brush the dirt off my feet and walk away. Your comments are not worth replying to, and certainly not worth trying to explain things to.

Yeah...you see, this is exactly why I started this discussion. What you said it's that you only believe to God because for all the good thing, what happen if the bad things happen to you? Do you still have a faith in Him?
