I will look into buddhism more. I have some things I like about it(from what I know about the religion) and some things I like less.

Yes, well, the problem with christianity, despite its noble idea of the importance and eternal value of the individual, is as you mention the idea of ...

I just wondered. What is your opinion on religions and such things? What has made you believe there is no God?
July 07, 2017 at 23:41
Yes... Do you believe in God or anything like that?
July 07, 2017 at 23:37
Thank you for your very fine reply. And it is good to see that someone has experienced something similar to me but yet came out at the positive end. I...

Yes... Christ is perhaps the more interesting and certainly the more mysterious one. As I said, I wouldn't even doubt to say Christ if it wasn't for t...

Interesting... Well believers are what make faith difficult for me too. As soon as I started to meet other believers, I felt that the lust for Christ ...

Thank you very much...

Yes but take the rest of that passage.
July 07, 2017 at 22:34
Yes and I have been brainwashed into thinking that metaphors are facts and I can't read the bible in another way. But all the "metaphors" for hell are...

Are you a christian? What in the gospels? Not much in the gospels except perhaps the seperation between the sheep and the goats and the casting into e...

What denomination do you belong to? How did you become a christian? I know God is just. I just don't understand what is just with creating me sick and...

I agree... I like Jesus except the introduction of eternal hellfire.

Are you a christian?
July 07, 2017 at 22:02
As I said, I believe Christianity might be true. But that is very bad news it seems to me.
July 07, 2017 at 21:45
Your vision of christianity is far preferable to the one I know of. To answer your questions: Honestly, my interpretation of Job is that God says "You...

Yes well, I have struggled for over two years with christianity. I first fell for it. But the more I learned about its dogmatic beliefs, about God's c...
July 07, 2017 at 20:46
You don't. But I assure you, that IF I had a choice in the matter and a christian came and explained me the conditions, I would scream and say NO I DO...
July 07, 2017 at 20:43
Also, God created us ex nihilo. That is my biggest problem with christianity, because it means "you have no choice in the matter. I create you. Now ob...
July 07, 2017 at 20:36
I refer to writings such as The sheperd of Hermas among others. They all take the position that if one falls away after becoming a christian, one is d...
July 07, 2017 at 20:32
A christian would say that death is the result of a sickness in the soul; the seperation from God, the step out of being into constant becoming. But a...

You can just as much prove with logic that God doesn't exist. Logic, just as reason, rests on assumptions that do not correspond to anything in the re...
July 04, 2017 at 10:20
What I mean is like this basically. If I can imagine a perfectly straight line, a perfect circle etc, does that mean that they exist? Did Achilles cat...
July 03, 2017 at 16:12
Which god did you find through reason? You can as easily come up with a conclusion that God does not exist as that he does. Did you find the God of Ab...
July 02, 2017 at 16:27
It is a god of your imagination. Not the living God. Nietzsche killed the God of reason(yes, those who claimed to have faith were often just reasoning...
July 02, 2017 at 12:36
A man can not reason his way to God. There is more likelyhood that what happened in the gospels in fact happened for real than People think. I would s...
