"I have not read most of these pages so i don't know if this has been brought up but i have one ? for you people who don't believe why take the chance of burning in hell? I really would like to know this."
Yeah, that's been addresed...although I don't think I got an answer...
"Hi,forgive me for butting in, but firstly i am an athiest, agnostic or whatever it's called but i did a bit of reading up on the subject of different religions/beliefs (no i'm not saying i'm a specialist in this area) but it has been pointed out that thousands of years ago there wasn't any of the scientific proof that we have today i.e everything has a logical explanation, now i know someone is going to go down the line of ghosts on that matter but as i say way back then anything that couldn't be explained was down to a god, like when people first looked up at the stars and thought "where did they come from" or they started to become aware of all things around them they used to go to the sages, seers, prophets or whatever and they were so called because they were the first ones who gave an explanation by saying "a god put them there so we must appease the gods" the greeks were well known for this that's why in greek mythology there are so many gods and i suppose (probably shouldn't say that cuz someones gonna rip into me for it)someone realised it was easier to believe in just one god than many. D.R i hope i got your backin on this lol."
Ok...thanks for your views...I'm no specialist either, lol.
But anyway, what you said was pretty much true. Way back when people proably worshipped the sun because they had no idea what it was. Obviously, today we do.
But that or saying we have advanced in out intellect doesn't prove creation through evolution, because there are still missing links in the theory.
"I just wanted to step in here and say that the world is pretty chaotic at the moment, so i don't really know what you meant by the last bit..."
If everyone decided to beleive what they wanted to beleive or do what they wanted to do (outside of religion) this world would be in anarchy.
I say thank God for unity (in a non-metaphorical {if that's even a word} voice) because there is unity in the world. Whether it be the Catholic Church, or the USA...the unity in this world is keeping us from absolute chaos.
Sure the world is 'kind of' chaotic right now...in the Middle East....but compare that to a world with no unity as we do have today.
"i think if we went back far enough we would get to the people who were called the "great thinkers" and anything they said was fact, in a way they were the clever people of the time, like today if a doctor said you had chickenitus scabbyheadus you would believe him, because he knows about the human body same as back then the "thinkers" new about things (or so people thought) so if anyone went to them and asked something like why is it dark if they didn,t know the true answer then it would be down to a god probably knowing that no one would dare question the answer ,if you catch my drift, have you ever wondered what the religious area would be like if the great thinkers knew the correct answers then. ???????"
Ok, so your saying that eventually, mankind will be able to understand the miracles. Be able to understand, why, over hundreds of years of beeing buried, that some humans have shown no sign of decay...
Be able to understand why inanimate objects are able to weep tears of blood?
I don't think so...because there is a differnce between the above examples...and the sun.
