ok well my friend max is an athiest. he doesnt belive in any kind of god. hes like a science nerd so that probably has something to do with it. well i really want him to belive in God but i dont know how i can talk to him about it. we arent close enough to talk about that stuff. what should i do?
ok teh best advice i can give you is get over it. not everyone is a christan and thats what makes the world diffrent and gooood. I would not consider talkin to him about god or tryin to convert him. honestly he willprobpaly get pissed off, most people dont enjoy havin other beliefs pushed on them. Your beliefs are yours, and his are his. They dont need to be the same, you can still be friends, just because he is an atheist doesnt mean that hes a bad person or anything.
i need to know who the best saint is to pray to. see i lost my cell phone and its my first one and i did something with it and cant find it. i didnt take it to school and last place i had it was in my room on my dresser. i dont remeber what happened next. i have looked everywhere and cant find it and my mom thinks im overlooking. she also told me tonite if i cant find it by tonite then she will cancell it and she wont get me another one so i really want to find it. please help. thankyou!!
dude a saint wont find your cellphone. Call it from another number if its turned oj or maybe try havin a really good look. trace your steps or something.
Why do many non-Christians celebrate Christmas? Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, so I just don't understand how anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus could celebrate his birth just for presents. And why do nonreligious people have to celebrate Christmas? Why not Hannukah or Kwanza?
Also, why do people who only celebrate Christmas and Easter consider themselves Christian? (people who don't pray or go to church, but still celebrate Christian holidays)
many no christians celebrate xmas not as a celebration of the birth of christ, but a celebration of family and happiness. I know in my family, christ or religion has nothing to do with anything, its irrelevant. For us christmas is about the family coming together for one night and everyone has fun and gets along and there are good memories that come from that. We most definetly dont celebrate for presents, although there are some peopel im sure that do.
And as for the people that only go to church on easter and christmas. yes they can consider themselves christians, why not. why should it eb nessisary to go to church everyday to prove that you follow this god? just because they dont worhsip every sunday doesnt mean taht they dont believe, i have a few friends that are unquestionably christan and they dont not attend church but o those days. And there should be nothing wrong with that. And as for not celebrating other holidays such as hannukah or kwanza.. well simply those havent been shoved down our throats since pre school. Most people are brought up with christmas, unless their family or themselves believe otherwise. Its a hallmaerk holdiay in a way. It has beent eh msot commercialized. hope i helped.
Here is the deal.. Lately I've been thinking alot about if god is real or not.. I don't know if I should believe it.. I mostly think that life was created by mostly scientific reasons.. The bible could really be made up from along long time ago..Nobody really knows right? Has anybody ever been touched by god? If I do not believe in god what would I be?
well you could be either athiest or agnostic. Personally I am atheist I find most things revolving around religon hard to believe and i dont agree with many of the beliefs. And thats my own choice. In time you will decied on what beliefs are suitable to you and what you can belive as true. Now with the progressions we have made in science religion is becoming more questionable. And we are always learning new thigns that will contradict it. In the end it is all up to you. look into it and see what suits you best.
i'm wicca and i'm gonna have a baby and well i was wondering if it's wrong if i make my baby learn and follow through with the wicca relligon i really want her/him to belive in what i belive in and i think of it as like the christans and how they make them belive in the whole jesus christ bible stuff no offence to any people who belive in that relligon so is it wrong? plez help
theres nothin wron with introducing your child to wicca, but what i personally think is a good thing to do is let your child form their own opinions on religion as they grow up.
Why do atheists have a problem with Christian's trying to spread their religon? They seem to always get so defensive and mean. It really bugs me because they can't have an open mind to what someone else says without flipping out. Like Christian religon says "help those who don't believe in God" or something, and the atheists just FLIP out. I've been open minded to many atheists I know and listen to what they say about it calmly without saying their opinions are dumb, but then when I mention my relgion, they say it's so stupid and get mad at me for talking about it.
Anyway, to sum it all up, you basically just need to read the first sentence.
what athesists have you been talkin to? NOt very often do see athiests "fliping out" at people for their beliefs. Im an atheist and my very best friend is christian. Personally I am interested in religion, and all the differnet ones and i do enjoy learning abou it but when it gets to people tryin to convert me, I cant stand because they are tellin me things i find very hard to believe. every one is differnt tho and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and religious beliefs. And everyone should be open mined to all the diffrent belief systems.
Please dont be offended by this, it's something i have been wondering about, it sounds discusting (and it is) but i think it must have happend.
Did God only create Adam and Eve or did he make other humans too?
I ask, because if it was only up to them to populate the earth hen surely incest must have taken place :-s
Adam and eve could have lots of children but then when they died there would have just been brothers and sisters left so that means that they wuld have had to make babies with eachother to make more people.
Is that what happend? i know it wasnt illegal back then but it's just so icky.
i know its a wierd question to ask but no one else ever talks about how people were made.
assuming that the first people were "adam and eve" then yea, them adn their offspring would have populated the earth.
Were Adam and Eve the first people on Earth? If so what about the cavemen? I thought they appeared first? I am confused. I mean, are the cavemen really the "people" in Darwin's theory of evolution? And so not supported by the bible...umm..
ok there is scientfic proof to show the evolution of the creatures on earth. I dont know what dancergirl678 was sayin about there being no explination for monkeys or apes. over billions of years cell life forms evloved and adapted to their differnt enviroments to become what they currently are. It wasnt so much that we came from cavemen, we evolved from ancient apes. Through DNA and genetics we can see how closley each differnt speicies is to each other in relation. Humans and life in general is incedibly complex, the very idea of all of human life 1.l coming from 2 individuals and 2. Being created in a mere 6 days is aubsurd. The complex structures of life cant be made from dust and magic.
There is a guy I really like (who also has the slight potential of liking me back). He's very funny and actually very polite and nice. However, he doesn't seem to be a very devout Christian, because he cusses. Even though I cuss sometimes, I feel like he may have a bad influence on me in that way, and I know from Bible study that I'm supposed to surround myself with people who share my beliefs and are going to be a good influence. But there seems to be something wrong with that, because if I cuss now and then, I may be a kind of bad influence on others too, and they wouldn't want to be around ME either. I guess what I'm trying to ask is...would it be okay to continue to flirt with this guy and (if it works out right) date him? Sorry, this was kind of long and confusing... btw, I'm almost 16, if that helps any.
ok either you like him or you dont. If you dont , dont lead him on. If you do does the fact that he "cuses" or isnt a "devout chrsitain" really that much of an issue? if your goin to like aperson like them for who they are, be open to beng with people of other religions or ways of thinking. In the end it helps make yourself a better person. Religion isnt everything, and it shouldnt be a factor of who you do and dont hang out with.
Ok. I'm a Christian, but I do not know the Bible cover to cover like some people do. I have 3 friends, who I love dearly, but they are just totally lost and I really want to save them but I have no clue as of how to do that. Like.. Ok.. here's their stories.
Billy 16-years-old: He's a terrible alcoholic who parties all the time and sometimes gets high but he is surely damned to hell because he has committed sexual immortality several times. He is one of those people who doesnt care about the Bible or God and makes jokes about religion at times. So I do not know how to talk to the guy.
Jessica 15-years-old: She's like my best friend but she's like never been to church. I've invited her before several times, but she always comes up with a reason not to go. And here lately we've lost friendship & she has lost herself to starting to drink because of peer pressure and she's became sexually active, so to say. And she's similiar to Billy, doesnt care.
Brittany 15-years-old: She's bisexual and she parties like every weekend and gets soo drunk & she cusses all the time but everytime I mention church or something of the sort, she cracks a joke & says something like, "Gosh you're such a goodie-goodie". And even though she's never had sex, she's did other stuff with girls and guys, so. I really want to help her & even though she goes to church often, she doesnt act Christian-like at all.
I really care for these people because they are like 3 of my best friends, but I have no clue has to how to help them. They are sooo young and if they were to die tomorrow or even today, they would go straight to hell & I really want to share my eternity with them in Heaven. So anyone with any advice, please help.
ok. This is YOUR belief. dont force it on your friends. talk to them about what there doing because its not healthy, not because of religion. It sounds like your friends arent christian and that their choice. not every one believes in god or heaven and hell. Some people have sex before marriage and thats fine, as long as both people are fine with it and safe there is nothing wrong with it. As for drinking yea every weekend isnt a big thing but its their personal choice. "jessica" probaply isnt goin to church with you because she doesnt want to, some people like my self do feel uncomfortable in churches. and people can believe in god and not "act" like it. the best advice i can give you is dont try to bring your friends into your beliefs, they will believe what they want and you should respect that. I am an athesit and i think that there isnothing worse than some one pushing a religion on me. just because you choose to believe in god doesnt mean i hvae to. keep your religion to yourself
Do you believe that "God" has already planned out our destiny, or do you believe we make our own destiny?
And do you believe everything happens for a reason, or do you feel that's just some clever line a thinker thought up to try to reduce the amount of stress and anger in our lives?
you determine your own desinty, things happen becuase you make them happen. Not because some supreme being is navigating your life. if all of our destinies were predetermined life would be pointless. the whole course of earth would be predecided. thats whats i believe.
In your opinion (meaning that if you tell me what you think you'll get a 5), do you think that people should miss out on church in order to do yardwork, study for an exam, play in a soccer tournament, etc? I just want to know what qualifies as an acceptable excuse for not going to church. What other good reasons are there for missing church? -no I'm not trying to avoid going to church-
Thanks!
you go to church to worship, not every sunday of your life needs to be devoted to "god" you are not being forced to go to church, you dont need an excuse not to go.
We don't need religion. Hear me out. If Jesus were to come down from Hevan and say "I am the son of God" and showed us all of is water to wine stuff, scientist could test it and then Christianity would become a science and all other religions would be be proven wrong and therefore not be religions.
That was my little prologue, here is my question Is it possible that our societies have reached a point in which we can admit there is no need for religion and have good morals without a book or God(s) to tell us what they are?
ok religion in my opinion is still needed in a way, most of our societies moral guidelines are baed on religions and thier moral code, luckily these things have changed with the time for the most part,but religion isnt not really nessisary, it is just another option, if soem one is in a rough spot in thier life or loses a loved one religion is often a very good place for support nad re-assurance. Science will one day pove most things that religion tries to explian.
I am a once athiest who has now become agnostic and what I want to know is :
Why do you or why do you not believe in god?
Why should he/she/it be praised?
Why should I believe or not believe in god?
i dont believe in god, because he cant be proven adn the bible contradicts its self a lot. but i do think that something that gives people hope and that has set our moral standards is a god thing in its own right.
I dont think a good needs to be worshiped, if there is a god the fact that one believes deep i thier heart shoud be enough. there is no need to preach to others, religion should be a personal choice and not pushed on anyone
there is no reason to not or ot believe in god. Think of what you believe and follow that,or perhaps research other religions that maye suit you more.
