My my, look at how elitist your tone is becoming! You are reading less and less of what I write. If you looked carefully, I wrote that I would like to share views and opinions, and learn more about your views on morality and religion.

If you want to learn more about our views on morality and religion then read the Bible (KJV)!!!

Re: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and more

Friend, I have been gazing at your posts. Quite frankly, I find several problems.
You claim to not care if God exists, you have not read the Bible yet you question God and the Bible. How can that be?
See friend, only a fool would enter into a discussion where they had not knowledge of the subject matter.

Re: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and more

So you just came here to blow off steam and be listened to by nobody? How tragically futile.

I suppose there's no reason why an atheist would take pause at any course of action, having no morals or anything to guide his actions.

Who cares what YOU think? It's what God thinks that matters.

Revelation 22:18-19
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Who are you, a mortal man, to say what God thinks?

The Bible doesn't tell me about the beliefs of all Christians. As I have seen many people state on the forums, You are different from other forms of Christianity, some of which do not follow the Bible as closely.

...The Bible doesn't tell me about the beliefs of all Christians...

If all Christians were True Christians(tm), then it would. This is not the fault of the Bible.

... As I have seen many people state on the forums, You are different from other forms of Christianity, ALL of which do not follow the Bible as closely.

FTFY.

Of course it does. People like us, who follow the bible, are Christians. People who does not follow the bible are not Christians. There are many false-Christians out there, but they are no better than joos, muslimes or atheists.

It is not God or the Bible that interest me, but the people that follow them.

Who are you, a mortal man, to say what God thinks?

As a saved mortal man, he can rely on what God tells him He thinks:

1 Cor. 2:12-16: Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The Bible doesn't tell me about the beliefs of all Christians. As I have seen many people state on the forums, You are different from other forms of Christianity, some of which do not follow the Bible as closely.

We're right, and they're wrong:

Matt. 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Re: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and more

We're right, and they're wrong:

Thats the root of the problem, isnt it? Everyone thinks that they're the ones that are correct. Statistically speaking, the chances of that are almost impossible.

Christians think that they will go to heaven if they follow the Bible.
Muslims think that they will receive 72 virgins if they do a suicide bombing.

Why? Because something/someone told them to.

There's no problem. We KNOW we're right and they're wrong!

Re: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and more

Sorry, not agreed. There is that little problem of it being physically impossible. And since youll probably reply with "the laws of physics dont apply to the divine", then im sure someone would notice the changes made

A matter of what being physically impossible, exactly?

Are you saying that the creator of the entire universe can't change the words in a few books?

Someone might notice the change, so what? I'd expect millions to notice the change.

That would only be proof that God changed the Bible.

You're not very logical.

[Question.Everything]

Re: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and more

There's no problem. We KNOW we're right and they're wrong!

Muslims also KNOW that theyre right about their beliefs, and so do countless other religions.

I am willing to admit that I do not know fully what our existence means, but I use what I have learned throughout my life (and what I will learn in the future) to form some speculation about it.

But I will not share it, as Im sure no one is interested.

Looks like you have invalidated your own argument. Of course it would be proof, and I agree completely with this post. But it has not happened, and therefore (according to you) God has not changed anything in the Bible, so it was free to be manipulated by man.

Yet they can say that you are wrong, because you do not follow the word of the Qaran.

Its a null argument on both sides.

Muslims "know" that they're right because they follow the Qur'an, which contains the rantings of an epileptic desert nomad who hallucinated visits from the Angel Gabriel and incorporated distorted versions of earlier religions' scriptures. Those rantings, half-remembered by his followers, were later written down in a book. Still later, a power-mad religious leader redacted that book and had all competing editions burned in order to "prove" that he had an accurate record of the revelation.

We don't care what they say. They are going to burn in a lake of fire for eternity.
