Beliefs

[naomi24]

Where opposing beliefs are concerned, we are all atheists, so why are yours right and other people's wrong?

[ponjee]

im a girl, i am fourteen. i was raised as a christian, but my grandparents are seven-days (they go to church on Saturdays, and dont eat pork and other stuff)

[naomi24]

So what church do you attend?

[bobjugs12]

Mr. T took Mother Nature from behind. We refer to the event as the Big Bang.

Thats where the universe came from (thanks to www.4Q.cc for that information)

Why would God create disease, famine and war?

[ponjee]

i dont go to church anymore, but that doesn't mean my beliefs are going to change.
i still strongly believe in God

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, in the same way that standing in a garage doesn't make you a car.

[ponjee]

i dont know the answers to everything im not a pastor.
to me it sounds like you guys have something against me being young and on this site, if you guys do, plz tell me if there is a problem.

I have a thing against utter cobblers

[squarebear]

No problem at all ponjee but if you are going to say that you believe the universe was created by a man waving his hand about then you are putting yourself up to ridicule. In a similar way to someone genuinely believing the Tooth Fairy or Easter Bunny was real.

[ponjee]

well i used to go to church as a christian. and i still say that i am a christian.

[naomi24]

No one has anything against you ponjee, but if you give an opinion you have to be prepared for that opinion to be challenged.

[naomi24]

Oh and by the way - pastors don't know the answers to everything either. They just tell you they do. ;o)

[ponjee]

i am, i don't mind the challenge. i was just curious, and im happy to fight for what i believe in. but we all have the right to an opinion.

[naomi24]

Quite right. :o)

[ponjee]

so are you an athesists? if so, what made you become an athesists?

[squarebear]

All the doom and gloom in the world, poverty, famine, disease and seeing the amount of war religion brings. Innocent people dieing and having limbs blown off.

I can't believe anyone would create such a thing and do nothing.

[naomi24]

The word is atheist, and I became an atheist because I read the bible.

[ummmm]

Tony...did you get my email address? (sorry Naomi)
