well i'm a christian and believe in god but also science. i alos believe in my future and that someday i will start a family of my own. the reason i'm saying this is because everyone has a belief in something and you don't have to be religious to believe in something. plus there is evidents and fact for both science and religion. plus as it says in the bible god gave you free will and the power for you to think for yourself. well i updated the words. just because you hate religion doesn't mean you have to be a dick to those who believe. sometimes religion is the only thing that keeps people from killing themselves. oh and if you believe in something or have trust, faith or hope in something it's pretty much what people do when they look up to god. i know you think i'm doing this because i'm religious myself but the way your post sounds is horrible. my friend is very religious because of her past religion is the only thing keeping her sane and if she was to read what you put it might hurt her. non of my family is religous and i found it all on my own. so does that mean that i'm stupid or in a fairy tale because if so well i'm sorry but not everyone has a perfect life with parents who love them and give them everything they want and yes maybe these religious people need the belief because there lifes are horrible and it's the only thing keeping them going thought the day.
You don't just be religious because your life is a bit of a mess and you need something to believe in to hold on to hope n what not. I have quite the dysfunctional family and I am an atheist. I think what you mean to say is that those who have unstable minds and are very fragile need something to believe in otherwise they will snap. It doesn't take a perfect life for someone to be strong and have the ability to think for themselves. I still see religion as an excuse to not take responsibility for your own actions; it's all gods doing, nothing is your fault, you will be in a better place after death, your life has been planned out by some dude in the sky, etc.. I don't despise religious people if they need it and aren't pressing their beliefs onto other people, but I am offended that you think all atheists have perfect lives and that's the reason for them not needing any beliefs.
i never said all atheists. i was just making a point because the way it sounds is horrible and no one should have to read that and think that because there religious there horrible.
Thanks, You have just proven my point. Just because religion helps someone through their life doesn't make it anymore true.
Id rarther not live my life under false beliefs. Ive had a tough time myself, it has been temping for me to pray in the past when i went through health problems but i didnt, why? Because im not stupid, i knew it wouldnt help. So yes, religion is for the weak.
religion isn't for the weak. oh and by the way all you people who say oh i'd never pray or believe in god why isn't you pray and start talking to god on you death bed or when you've had life changing news. if you believe religion is for weak people than thats your choice just don't hurt thoses that do because that is so selfcentered and just plain wrong. if people want to believe than let them don't make a whole fuss and dance about it. it's basicly like someone picking on you for supporting a football team and for you believing that they are going to win...
Im not botherd about your spelling mate, it's your point that interests me.
Maybe saying it's for the weak is harsh, however i wouldnt say its unfair. Maybe one day i will eat my words on my death bed, praying out of shear fear of death but it wouldnt mean i believed in any of it.
Im not saying their is no creator, i seriously doubt it mind. What i am saying is that all religions are made up of fairytails and lie's. It just bends my mind to think how many religions are active in this world and how everyone believes theirs is the right one. Its fucking madness.
If i can have bible bashers turning up on my door or preaching to me in the street i think i have the right to spread my Athiest views
I never said that it's for the weak if you read it again.
but for you to pray on you death bed means you have to believe some things there or you wouldn't bother because you know it's the end.
I'm not say that those people who go door to door are correct because there just trying to push religion on you and that's wrong because people should find it on there own.
the church I go to is more about helping the community then getting you to be religious. they do sometimes say if you are not a Christian well then that's your choice but today we will be talking about God.
yes you should be proud that you don't believe in God but all I was trying to say was don't judge those who do and don't call them fairytale's to those who don't judge you for not believing.
so yes carry on in not believing but don't judge people like me that all I do is tell people that I'm a Christian if they ask or if someone asks my opinion I'd tell them I'm a Christian so that the know why my opinion is involving God.
I'll carry on being a Christian and you can carry on being Atheist. it doesn't bother me, quite a few of my friends are Atheist and I've not had an argument with them about me believing in god.
You know, I honestly don't care if my religion is true or not. It makes me happy. I found that I have had a pretty decent life. I have self respect because of life choices I've made, which, to be honest, I did make because of my religion. When I am having moments of weakness or hardship, it's just comforting to pray, to spill out my heart. It really doesn't matter to me if somebody is listening or not. I'm religious because I would be unhappy if I wasn't.
By the way, I'm not saying that you're unhappy if you're not religious...it's more of a matter of "to each his own".
Are you religious?
