the demons believe there is a god. so believing isnt everything. X-mas is a symbolic holiday but in all reality it is winter solstice which was and is a pagan holiday. same with easter which is spring solstice. A crazy guy named Constantine came up with he made Christianity as a religion that is acceptable to all people the catholics and the other religions. opps just ramblingYes and Pagans believed in many of Gods. But they still had one main god. If it wasnt the sun than Zeus....either way almost every major religion believes in a main god. Also, Constantine did not create Christianity, he created it as a church because he had a vision if he fought under the christian symbol he would win. There were christian believers before him....

Not real knowlegable either, you can drill me with questions and I prolly couldnt answer a single one, put its not going to change my beliefs. Sure its prolly a sin to never go to church, but I work hard and hopefully I will be forgiven91teggy;197890 wrote:

Evolution does not disprove God, I've always wondered why peopled thought that...If God is all knowing and all powerful, which I believe, then the laws of Physics and everything that control the universe are there for a reason. He made everything the way it was so there could NEVER be any definitive way for us to prove/disprove his existence. Proving he exists forces people to believe in him which is something he doesn't want. I could go in depth but I'm too tired to.
Suffice to say, he made everything for reasons we'll never know until after death.
Wish I could have said it that simple....

According to the catholic religion missing mass is the same as murder, sex before marriage, contraceptives i could go on all day but you get the point.Well the only problem with that it is a double edged sword. Since I am assuming a catholic could have a bad thought in their head throughout the day, such as, damn that chick may be hot and I want to bone her. That would be regarded a sin and a sin is punishable to the eternal fires of hell. It also says in the bible that no sin is greater than the other. So murder=bad though tin head....technically.

Exactly and catholics stand by this as other religions kind of stray from such obscene rules. I guess you could call them CRAZY.FIX.T
j/k.... catholics are strict, I love the traditions and values that they have. The only thing that bothers me is that they judge and no one should be judging other than GOD.

SmitEvo, you really know your shit.I believe this thread will just continue to be one big argument. No matter how hard anybody tries this argument will still continue without one person right or wrong.
This argument has not been settled even after thousands of wars, thousands of deaths, and thousands of years.

i was researching on christian history and the sponsored link on the side of the page was for the movie golden compass. arent they the ones complaining about how the movie is anti-god?
sorry for the rambeling.

QFT! You will never make everyone happy and we will continue to fight until the end of times. Everyone has to find out their own way one way or the other. Thats the tough thing about religion.

Theres no argument here their is a GOD there is Jesus there is a Hold spirit!! try proving the bible wrong the bible is holy words. No book has stood the test of time like the bible has there is also evidence that there was a man named Jesus and that he was crucified by the romans back in the day. I just finished Teen Challenge which is a 13 month faith based treatment and just seeing and hearing god talk to you and others makes believers of all. People that were so lost in there life of drugs came to Teen Challenge and became completely new people. Ignorance is bliss

yeah have noticed the whole strict thing at my church. This is prolly also a sin, but alot of the diehard catholics at my church are just downright assholes. OOps i didnt say that.
But like i said earlier, i dont follow my religion strictly, and I believe in alot of the things, yet others are a little unnecessary. And I am also against the judgement thing. Nobody should judge you except for god himself. Nobody else can determine if you are worthy of heaven.

The one thing about the "catholic" version of christianity that always got to me is that no matter how much you sinned your whole life, you could just ask for Gods forgiveness and all is forgiven. That's at least what I was taught.Not True!!!
You are granted forgiveness ONLY if you are truly sorry for the sins you committed.
I believe this is a good thing because like Used posted earlier, throughout peoples sinful life they may be changed and become a totally different person. They discover jesus and they really want his help and his forgiveness.

Yeah, seemed to me like alot of catholics have that attitude, but i'm not sure if thats what they actually teach. Thing is, if you're really a christian, you're not supposed to have the attitude of I can do whatever I want cause i can just ask for forgiveness. If you are really a christian and believe in God, and are truely following him and letting him lead your life, you should WANT to do what the bible teaches because it will make God happy. This is part of what the bible refers to as the fear(a healthy respect) of God.

I think the number one threat to "Religion" is the "Church". If you actually sat down and looked at it, many things the Church/high religious authorities do or say are contradictory to God's word. Any church that hates homosexuals or anything like that is a hypocritical institution I believe. If they TRUELY followed God's word they'd leave the judgments to him and do everything they could to help people follow God and be saved.
I think this is a big reason there is a fairly strong anti-religion movement lately. The church is becoming oppressive again it seems and is really doing a good job at turning people away from morality and anything even remotely religious in nature. Pretty sad if you ask me...

I agree very strongly here, thats why there is different christian beliefs they basically believe the same thing but corruption and stupid shit has split people and cause turmoil for hundreds of years.
