reaper: It's clear that you believe in God, but the rest of it was a mistery.
i am just curious, why must satan be directly responsible for man's greed? why can't people just be bad or greedy without a fictional character thousands of years old influencing them? the way i see it, you either have good reasons to have certain beliefs, or you don't.
man, i still don't understand how you guys can think it's crazy to believre in god
Hmm, Ok so was this a mistype ????
But in a nut shell, it comes from several reasons/sources. Studying the Bible, studying other sources, studying other Relegions, family teachings, Religious friends, Religious enfluence, but more than anything else, LIFE EXPERIENCES. Everything i've looked at, studies and/or experienced has shown me that both God AND Satan do exists.

For me it does. I can't speak for other people.I could tell you why "I" believe that. I could tell you why I know that. And I could tell you why I feel that.But that would take several more pages.

regardless of how silly it rationally seems.
Quote from: dahangregardless of how silly it rationally seems.i see no reason it would seem irrational to not find a higher power probableyou can say, well we have morals, because of our society, and how were wired after we evolvedor you can say, a higher power made us that wayyou can say,there is a one billion chance for life to spawn on each planet, and it's just chance we are on one of those planetsor you could say, this is the perfect world out of all worlds, and it's because god is part of human lifeyou could make a never ending list like this, but to say it's irrational to side both ways or one way on these points seems silly to meand god fits in with science now, and if it ever doesn't, it doesn't matter, because god could be all powerfull anyways
This is a fallacy. God cannot love everyone and send people to hell at the same time.
c1rcu1try: All I can say is WOW. You'e got some real issues with the Lord there.But I cannot argue or debate any of that with you. Because I feel you've takin ceartain parts out of a "modern" translated bible and severly twisted them into your own beliefs. Either that or you just simply copied and pasted something from a relegious hate thread.
q: Who could believe that an all-powerful, all-knowing, infinitely incredible god would want to have 6 billion 1-sided personal relationships with a bunch of supremely dumb, physically useless monkeys from a backwater speck of dust in a universe that is infinitely small to him?a: mostly people who never thought of it like this...
II implied that the imaginary relationships between humans and a god who possibly does or doesn't exist
humans who have proven for millenia that they think they are much more important than they really are in the face of the staggeringly large universe that surrounds us.
