Bring it on people. I wanna hear what you think about the Creator of the heavens and the earth. I wanna know what you think about the dude that created me, Todieisgain, Ronaldo7, ServinmySavior, ManUK, TheRonaldo7, Moonpig, Ragarsha, Lee, MainEvent, and all the other people on this site (sorry if I didn't name you, I don't have time for everyone. Don't worry about it though, Jesus loves YOU) and the whole world. Bring on the disdain and arguements people. The question is why aren't you saved. You know your gonna' go to Hell if your not. (I'm probably gonna' get banned for didsurbing the peace, but I hope it will make it through the staff.)
I give complete glory to GOD for every goal I score, MVP award I win, and game I play. He is the reason I'm on this planet, and the only reason life's worth livin
Heaven will be to glorious to worry about football. Soccer is great and all, but Hell is forever. There is no purgatory where you can make it back to heaven. Eternal darkness, flesh always on fire, and your alone. Heaven sounds better
Agreed 100%. I'm not religous, as in I don't believe in A sinlge god. I do kind of believe in Confucious and his sayings about things to strive for in life
Then why does man always make movies and myths and legends about the end? Man has a gut idea about an afterlife. Think about. Is your heart hardened to my questions? Or are you sincere in your answers?
People always say, "Jesus ain't coming back. " Well, hear this. The Bible says that the Lord will come as a thief in the night, at an hour when the world is not aware. And he is a thief coming to take the redeemed. Hell on earth will be opened as a second and final chance to those in rebellion. Don't be fooled. After all the christians are taken to heaven, hell on earth occurs for 7 years, and then the judgement
Yes it is The Truth. Did you know the Bible has never been proven false and some religious documents (the Koran for example) reference the Bible as a good book?
"Okay I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready? "
"Uh huh. "
"Dinosaurs....
You know the world's 12 thousand years old and you know that dinosaurs existed, so you think they existed in that time. Well, you'd think it would have been mentioned in the f*****g Bible at some point. 'And lo Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus.... With a splinter in his paw. And oh the disciples did run a shriekin': 'What a big f*****g lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw and the big lizard became his friend'”
Well er, not that I'm defending the believers, but as I mentioned earlier (and have now confirmed through wikipedia), dinos went extinct 65 million years ago. Certainly had they been alive and kicking 12 thousand years ago, we'd all be worshipping t-rex today. Sorry, I mean T-rex
"Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money. "
George Carlin (one of the all time greats along with Bill Hicks)
Bible thumpers make me lol. They preach like the storybook says and I'm like, "yo dawg, pics or it didn't happen. " yes I'm agnostic and yes I think logically. Funny story! I went to my bro's bible study cause he's into that garbage and I destroyed the session within 5mins of it starting with a single question. It gave the simple minds in attendance a headache and the pastor or whatever was visibly upset. LOLz
Aw that's kinda mean, but fair I guess. Most the people in that room either have not read the bible past the front cover, or if they have don't understand it
Taso doesn't know what he's talking about but allow me to explain. Greek orthodox is and has been the least changed religion since the idea of religion. It has been proven to be most like it's original state. However, everyone has the right and can believe in whatever god(s) or idea they want. I feel that this subject may be a little too serious for the site and this is all I'm going to say. But I do respect all religions and ideas on the site so don't stop posting because of me
Abstract. This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. A number of other consequences of this result are also discussed.
You say that, but 100 years ago, people were 'pretty sure' we couldn't ever walk on the moon. And prior to that. People were 'pretty sure' the world was flat. And only half a century ago, people would never have conceived of the idea of watching a football match Live, on a tv with only millseconds of a delay. Or picking up a mobile phone and talking to someone on the other side of the world....
The theory is simply that if we believe that we can ever get to a state of technological advancement that would see re-creations of our world inside a computer simulation (through the use of advanced AI), then we must actually be in a simulation right now, as we would run soooo many of these simulations (that would see millions of years simulated in a fraction of a second), that it would be highly unlikely that we are the first intelligence to have made such a simulation.
Complex, but very very plausible. Certainly more so than an all-knowing omnipotent God that put dinosaur fossils on the earth as a prank to 'test our faith'.
Oh I sooo completed your sentence (before I had finished reading it) to "The bible predicted the world was a sphere.... Before IT WAS A sphere". That would be something
Actually, they never believed the world was flat. Hardly anyone did. Ah contrare you say, history backs it up, well I challenge you to find books from back then that say "we believe the world is flat. " I believe it was Washington Irving who brought the flat earth myth into popular belief. Before then, it was used by scientists to discredit Christianity
Oh Look, Some Facts (seems the bible didn't predict it at all)!
The belief that the Earth was flat was almost universal until about the 4th century BC, when the Ancient Greek scientists and philosophers proposed the idea that the Earth was a sphere, or at least rounded in shape. Aristotle was one of the first thinkers to provide evidence of a spherical Earth in 330 BC. By the early Middle Ages, it was widespread knowledge throughout Europe that the Earth was a sphere.
However, throughout history, many intellectuals and individuals continued to support the notion of a flat Earth. Modern hypotheses supporting a flat Earth originated with English inventor Samuel Rowbotham (1816-1884). Based on his interpretation of certain biblical passages, Rowbotham published a 16-page pamphlet, which he later expanded into a 430-page book, Earth Not a Globe, expounding his views. According to Rowbotham's system, which he called "Zetetic Astronomy", the earth is a flat disc centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice (Antarctica), with the sun and moon 3000 miles (4800 km) and the "cosmos" 3100 miles (5000 km) above earth.

I'm a believer of God, for those that disagree go and do the ouiji and tell me how that works. And if the ouiji board works from 'spirits' then God, and stuff must exist aswell.
Of course this is not the only reason why I believe but it is a factor
The Ouija board, like most things, can be explained with science. It is the result of collective human energy rather than some greater force at work. Essentially, the glass moves as a result of unconscious thought / energy transference. Bascially, people 'willing' the glass to move in a certain direction through tiny movements influenced by a group mentality.
Derren brown once did a show called Seance, where he conducted real life experiments, and demonstrates once and for all how Psychics, Ouija boards, and Ghosts, can all be explained with science, and simple cold reading techniques.
Lol strangest answer i've ever got from the ouiji comment. But "collective human energy " :/. "unconscious thought / energy transference".
You forgot about mind control but maybe nxt time. Jks.
If youve ever done one I doubt that. And if that if true then how come when you ask certain questions about urself, it can sometimes know the answer when none of the people around you know the answer? And you know your not doing it.
Just a question Lee but do you believe that we are just apart of a cycle? There is nothing greater? That we are here because of evolution and the journey of life? You don't believe in anything! Extra ordinary?
Btw that video watch about 9:00 min when she is asked if she touched it. You can see her trying not to smile. She was lieing. But yea I'm not saying everything like that is true, ofcourse a ton of it is bullshit. I don't believe 3/4 of those things.
But after doing the ouiji board a few times imo it works
Yes it did sound a bit star trekky. I was trying to say that it's just basically the people sitting round the table that are making the glass move, and that any spooky things like it answering a question about yourself correctly is basically coincidence, or as a result of the will of others (and yourself), collectively, but unconsciously pushing the glass to a meaningful answer. Anyway if you watched the clips, you now know....
As for believing in anything greater, I won't have the audacity to tell you I know anything of why we're here or what comes after. That's the point - nobody does. I understand why people need to feel comforted in thinking there is meaning to it all, or an afterlife, but in all likeliness, this is all it is, just one take, before becoming part of the food chain like every other living thing on the planet.
I don't believe in heaven or hell, it's a man-made concept and if there is a truly higher power out there, people wouldn't be punished simply for not following whatever happens to be the 'right' religion. Every religion is based on a set of outmoded, weird and conflicting rules that were ultimately written and interpreted by fallible men.
I'll stick to the things we know are fact, we are born, we live, we die. Somewhere in the middle we have the opportunity to try our best to make sense of it all, and enrich and make better the lives of those around us. To quote Belinda Carlisle, - "Heaven is a place on earth". If you spend all your life worrying about what happens afterwards, or what life is supposed to be about, you may just end up missing it.
Now if you don't mind, I need to go fetch my sick bucket, and light some more incense.
