Thread about God and religion.

[ccosmos]

Hey guys,

I really wanted to ask you guys if you believe in god or any other religion? Or are you a full on atheist? Maybe you just dislike the church and you think it became "commercialised". Give your ideas and thoughts about it, I'm really interested to see the maturity here.

Hardline atheist. Hate preachers. No one will change that.

But why? Why do you hate them?

 

[ccosmos]

We don't shove atheism down their throats. They should show the same respect.

Hmm. But that is different in other countries. I am from Europe and I am studying Politics and Economics at the 5th best Politics university in the world and the things that our professors say in our Philosophy and history politics lectures are that belief in god was one of the main reasons our society lived through WW1 and WW2. That believing in god can make people unite (which I one hundred percent believe in even if I don't believe in god/gods). What do you think about that?

There's a difference between a Christian and someone who shoves Christianity down people's throats.

Bible teachings say we are supposed to lead by example and show others the way. Therefore anyone that is shoving Christianity at other people isn't actually following Christian beliefs.

Im not saying you should believe in it, or YOU as a person are going to change. thats youre choice ofc. But theyre just trying to Save you and bring you eternal life Etc.

i really don't care what i believe in, i think of christianity as a guideline for proper etiquette.

Interesting. It's really interesting on how people think about these things. I've talked with a lot of priests here in France and I can say that 40 percent of them are in a huge disbelief in a god as it is told in the bible or in any other place. They think that god, even if it is just a form for ruling us all, is needed to maintain world peace and is just a figure of that peace overall, that there is no real entity behind god. They say that god was made by people to guide them and without that idea we would all be doomed many years ago.

Jess12 roy I Dont mean to offend you or anything. Personally im not a HARD CORE christian, Its just what I was taught, The whole point of preachers in public, is that people think god ( If you believe in him ) has told them what to do, and preaching is that, tell people about "The wonders" of god. In churches there meant to be a pillar of the church whos faith Transfers to everyone. Not saying Im right youre wrong or vise versu its just how it is. THEY believe Theyre Right, THUS they try and HELP like it says in the bible and BRING "HOME" as it says in the bible gods "SHEEP" which is Humans

We can't and should not force people to believe in God. We can show them the way and we can give them the information but ultimately they make the choice.

I believe in god but there are just sometimes where im like how could he let all of these horrible things happen if he were real.

God puts us through challenges in our lives.
He will challenge everyone with what we can handle and in the end, all the shit we go through here on Earth is all worth it.
If we believe in him through the toughest of times and the easiest of times and hold true to our faith that he will bring us home to him, then we have passed.

God may challenge everyone differently, but in reality he gives us what we can handle as long as we trust in him and we turn to him. Too many people, even Christians, just try to deal with everything on their own yet struggle and blame God. If they turn to God, they will be made stronger and will get through it.

Honestly, the hardcore preachers that stand on street corners and on college campuses, outside of sports arenas, etc, kind of disgust me. They are giving Christianity a poor look. I am all for preaching the name of the Lord but shoving it at people and not letting up pisses people off and honestly makes them less likely to change their ways.

 

[MostlySnakes]

I only believe in the flying spaghetti monster. It's really the only sensible religion.

Half of the people who believe in god don't believe in Alliens because they haven't "seen them" but they believe god but never saw him? but anyways I dont fw god, i don't believe that shit. Churchs are just money grab untaxed fucks.

If you want to talk about money grabbing untaxed fucks, research Scientology.

I really dont believe its Forcing rather than encouragement from a stranger. Its Like a gay parade walks up to you and says WILL YOU BE GAY WITH US. and you say no. Its a suggestion but ultimately its youre choice[DOUBLEPOST=1502133198][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well, People believe in god because of certain events and things that reinforce there idea that "God is real" But I mean if people started to get probed people would believe XD[DOUBLEPOST=1502133292][/DOUBLEPOST]Christians Imparticular will always say " ITS YOURE CHOICE " When it comes to religion, the normal ones atleast. Because when youre 15 you get confirmed in most areas. So its pretty young to make a choice like that. But One thing christians believe is that god gave us free will. Which is why they let people make there own decisions, The normal ones atleast

But generally most people arent Like preachers on the side of the street Telling you to become christians, Its the same reason that people Become high members in churches Like Priests Etc, they believe theyve heard a calling
