On the "Global
On the "Global Warming is..." thread, I noticed people talking about God. That thread took a long time to load for me, so I am posting here.
People were saying that there is no evidence that God exists. Here are some questions:
1. Where did humans come from? Some of these ideas circulating *coughbigbangtheorycough* are just outlandish- something exploded and a whole race of humans was born? *skeptical snort*
2. Where did that ideas about religion come from? If God doesn't exist (which He does!) then where did these ideas come from? I believe that Jesus came down from Heaven to save the World from sin. And that is why He would save us from anything (@ people on GW thread). He loves us.
3. If we don't believe that there's something bigger than us, we really are in trouble. We start thinking that we are above everything else and all-powerful, and this isn't true. SOMEONE had to create everything in the universe, and if we don't at least acknowledge that then we have no hope.
I believe very firmly in God. I'm a Catholic and proud of it. People were saying that there's no proof that God exists. I disagree, with flying colors. There is so much proof from people everywhere that it's undeniable, in fact. I've prayed to God and He's pulled through in the most amazing ways. My friends agree with me; it's happened for them too, and many other people I know. We've all experienced miracles. I know I have.
Please post your opinions on God here. Summarizing my post: I very firmly believe.

Yeah, no offense Catholics/Christians, but there seem to be a lot more of you guys on this site.

I do not belive in God. Number three makes me mad. Is there anybody else who doesn't believe.
(March 26, 2009 - 3:39 pm)
I believe, but I wholeheartedly support those who don't! :)

Whoa, sorry. I just realized that my last post was in very short sentences. I will try to post more on my views later, but now it's American Idol time!
(March 26, 2009 - 7:04 pm)
Yay! Another non-believer! I'm non-religious, too! :)
(March 26, 2009 - 9:26 pm)
I'm a non-believer, too!
But I do believe that there is some powerful force that created the world...but I don't wannabe one of those people who say, "my religion is the true faith; you are a blasphemous idiot" so I am no religion.
(March 27, 2009 - 11:35 am)
Not EVERY religious person is like that. Only extremists.
(March 27, 2009 - 5:29 pm)
I would post here, but I'm not into things like this. I mean, I have a God, but I don't usually do this sort of thing..... if you know what I mean.......... *looks hopeful*
(March 30, 2009 - 9:20 am)
Yeah, I think I know.
(March 30, 2009 - 5:32 pm)
Hey, Zoe, if Idol is over (how can you watch it??!! *yawn* Not exactly the most gripping show!), can you explain "number three makes me mad"? Also, Falmiriel, why is Jesus a "whole 'nother deal"?
(April 5, 2009 - 1:46 pm)
Um... I really have nothing to say.
(April 12, 2009 - 7:12 pm)
Well, almost all of the Christian people I know are like that, and the rest of my friends are either atheist or no-religion.
(April 12, 2009 - 7:11 pm)
(Which by the way is the same thing.)
Where's Zoe?
(April 13, 2009 - 2:37 pm)
I don't want to get into this, but I do want to say something that I don't think any/many of you have said anything about: I would normally say that I am an atheist, but at the same time I'm not saying that gods and goddesses don't exist. If I say I'm an atheist, that just sticks me in a little box marked "atheist." Same for Christians, etc.--it's all categorizing, to me. Anyhow, if I did believe in gods and goddesses, I'd be polytheistic, I think. I won't even get into Global Warming....
