Religion: Real or Fake

[giblets]

What if your kids had everything they ever wanted and they didn't need you for anything.

Those are some of the objectives of parenting. Getting your kids to the point where they can support themselves. What's your point?

Greatest cop-out ever... the supreme being doesn't make sense because we simply can't understand it... whenever religious people can't make sense out of their dogmas, they have an excuse to fall back on. That way they don't have to let any facts get in the way.

I don't completely understand prayer, but think about Jesus and all the hours He spent in prayer. If He spent lots of time in prayer, shouldn't we?

You know that you aren't talking to a theologian or even a learned layperson.

Why do you act like this?

According to Kidicious I just don't understand the Bible properly. If he isn't learned in theology why say that kind of thing?

[Docfeelgood]

That's because, by your own words, you don't understand the Bible.

Nobody understands the bible.
Only a fool would state they understand the bible.

No no. You missed the point.

I guess I can just say this. If you want to think the world sucks and there is no God, and there's no reason for all the beauty in the world then that's exactly what you will get.

No smiley would give justice

What JM said. I don't follow doctine. I'm a subjective existing thinker.

You cannot make people except GOD.
You need to talk to others who believe the same.

What do you mean?

Talk with me about GOD.
I love it!!!

[giblets]

No no. You missed the point.

So you're arguing that reality should be treated as something that can be rearranged to suit our personal tastes? If you decide to believe something, that makes it true?

[Kidlicious]

I believe that you are high on drugs @ Doc

[Wezil]

No, that would be me.
