We all have the take things on blind faith when it comes to our origins.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the Catholic church teaches that you have to do good works to get into heaven, but Jesus clearly stated that the only things you need to do is have faith and believe in him.

For myself, I am perfectly happy, and not miserable with what I believe. At any rate, when I was christian, I pondered, and asked, where did god come from? Who is gods god? Eternity? I was told not to waste my time asking questions that couldn't be answered. Where would we be if we be if nobody asked questions we didn't know the answer to? No Galileo, no Newton, no Aristotle, no Darwin no technology. I'm a curious guy, when I did find answers to questions that made since, I felt much like Laplace when asked where god fit into his theories, "I have no need for god." Christians challenge atheists/agnostics to read the bible for answers, but themselves are unwilling to read even The Origin of Species. I suspect that we share similar reasons why we don't read each others materials, "I'm happy with what I have." Finally, I respect a person who TRULY believes what they believe in, if I agree with it or not. I also respect people who stand up for what they believe, even if I don't agree with it. I dare say that the christians I have a problem with are those who want to say they are christian, but are unwilling to actually incorporate christianity into their lives further than being baptized and saying "I'm christian." So Jeremy, I don't agree with you, but I respect you, and having someones respect is much better than having them agree with you. Dan also has my utmost respect.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555275651188316485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-90521290213550390922009-03-30T14:17:00.000-07:002009-03-30T14:17:00.000-07:00So like, I've always wondered what happens if you ...So like, I've always wondered what happens if you were murdered by a relative who repents on his/her death bed.

God created time and space. He exists beyond our realm of comprehension. He is the origin for everything we know and see. Without him, we would not be here.<BR/><BR/>I can tell you something that cannot originate from itself, is information. Information always has a sender. This is a basic law of nature.<BR/><BR/>Your statement about atheists not hurting other people is ridiculous. We are all human beings who sin against each other. Trying to blame that on religion is a logical fallacy. Many horrible things happened in communist Russia under an atheistic rule.<BR/><BR/>Just because people blame someone like God does not make it true. That's like the en masse slaughter of dogs and cats during the black plague.

There are thousands each day. That would be silly.<BR/><BR/>@ Jeremy...<BR/>Your Bible points are well taken, but if one does not believe the Bible was written by "God", it is not instructive. Like all aspects of spirituality, without faith in it in the first place there is no substance to the talk.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Pagani's points, a common reason for belief in god is that "all of this" had to come from somewhere. But if that is true, then "god" had to come from somewhere. If god can come from nowhere, then so can everything else. It is simple logic. <BR/><BR/>You might say that god is the only thing that can just always "be" and that everything else has to have been created but that again is a matter of faith, there is no logic in it.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to say that it doesn't matter to me what other people believe, but the truth is that it matters to all of us. More death, torture, discrimination, injustice, war and misery of all kinds has been wrought in the name of religious beliefs than any other single cause BY FAR. Atheists do not habitually become suicide bombers, commit genocide, go on crusades, or deny certain elements of society their rights because they are not "right with god." <BR/><BR/>Though this blog post was meant to be humorous and is not attempting to convert anyone, I firmly believe religion is a dangerous element of the human psyche that causes people to do terrible things they would not do otherwise.<BR/><BR/>But it is human nature and we are stuck with it.Pirarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340738828876740970noreply@blogger.com
