Who decides which religion is right?

What is the foundation to the religion?

Can you prove the supernatural?

Can a non-religious person be moral?

Go.

Tend to Agree more with a Relegeions that Disguise themselves as a Relegeions but is basicly a Philosophy left up in the air for interpetation.

Let's try not to attack..........It's counterproductive to the purpose of the thread.

So, lemme see if I got this straight...you're an atheist...someone that doesn't believe in God?

So your belief structure is on premised on the non?

In choosing not to believe you're stating that he exists but you're choosing not to.

You go rebel.

[Warham]

I think the way I look at it is this...

First I have to decide if God exists or not?

I decided based on the available evidence that, yes, I do believe he exists.

After I got by that step, then I asked myself: Since God exists, is there a chance that he has given revelation to manking of his existence? In other words, are any of the gods that mankind has written or spoken of the real deal?

In my estimation, I believe God has given revelation of himself and I believe that Judaism and then Christianity were his means of revelation to us, based on the evidence that I saw.

I believe that mankind is created in the image of God, as the Bible insists, and that we are very much like him personality wise (He being without corruption). God has all the emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, jealousy, etc. I find that the scriptures definately show all these facets of his personality, and Jesus Christ did as well, of course.

I do not believe in a creator who just creates, then sits back and doesn't care. I've hardly ran into somebody who put a lot of effort into something they made that is spectacular, be it a piece of artwork, invention, etc., then just walk away from it, not wanting the glory of their creation made known. We were created, according to the Bible, to glorify God, and for that reason alone. I suspect someone would suggest that God is vain in this regard, and I would agree. Then when they would ask 'doesn't the Bible say we shouldn't be vain?', I would say yes, because we are just taking what God has given us and manipulating it. He is the ultimate creator.

I also believe the Bible to be the only book written of any faith where 99.9% of the main characters all have seemingly huge weaknesses from the beginning to the end. The Bible makes no bones about showing that it's characters are fallible.

Examples would include:

Adam eating of the tree upon his wife's insistence, not heeding God's instructions.
Noah becoming drunk, and allowing his sons to see his nudity, then cursing his sons for his recklessness.
David having an affair with Bathsheba, then having her husband killed.
Moses killed an egyptian taskmaster before leaving Egypt, and was included in God's punishment that his generation would never see the promised land.
Peter denied Christ.
Paul sought to persecute Christians.

All of these characters have two things in common. One, they are all regular folks who did things people have done throughout recorded time. Two, God has blessed them all for their faith in His plan of salvation. All will be in his future Kingdom, I am sure.

There's so many things about the Bible that I love, but those are just a few.

Sorry for the rambling post.

actually no. An "atheist" is someone that has no belief in religion. Above or below. They neither believe or care. Sign me up.

further more, IMO, people choose to believe in "something" as they can't possibly fathom their own existence without a higher power, instead of just believing in what science tells us. Nobody likes the truth. In this case, the truth, IMO, is scientific and when compared to "God" and "religion", it's just not as exciting. People spend far too much time in trying to figure out where they came from and where they might go. Why not just live your life? Be good. Be moral. Not for the fear of the unknown and a "God written punishment", just be good and moral because that is what comes natural to you.

That is an atheist.

Interesting thing to pick out from the plethora of problems in the post. Subtle, compared to the rest.

However, "relegeion" is what has been committed optical murder for me on this thread.
