Atheism

I do believe in A god.

Also, the "word of god" always has to be interpreted, this is why we have priest and other holy people studying their respective holy books for many years. If you could just take the stories and apply them directly without interpretation, then we would not need any priests.

So I do also not believe in the literal words written in the bible

Long, well my thoughts about this is first off there isnt just the Christian God, some people dont even belong in any religion but still to them they believe in the existence of a god-like being.

As for scriptures, to me, these are words written by humans. Even if it is TRUE that they were messages from a god, what you are reading on the bible for example are how people from days long ago translated, comprehended or understood these messages. If youd show em a helicopter I think theyd think its an angel. And also, not everything that is said on the bible is meant to be treated like a law or... there are stories, songs, dialogue and just how things were thousands of years ago, theyre not all applicable now.

I used to be a sincere believer when I was young. I was even in the choir group and sang on church masses and almost got accepted to work on the altar... well, the start of my fall from grace is nothing special, it just started when I lost someone dear to me. But Im glad I was capable of actually asking the questions and facing the fear of facing gods wrath for questioning his existence. Now, well I already mentioned what I believe on the other thread.

I dont believe in god. Not because i disagree with any of what he says, (I havent even finished the bible.) but because the theory of creation is bullshit.

Ive posted this whole thing on the "god" thread and i dont really feel like repeating myself.

Oh yeah, congratz, it's not like 90% of the people here claim that they are atheists =)

Anyway, I prefer to call myself agnostic, since I don't find it worthwhile to take an absolute stand towards things that have no definitive fact.

Thats a word I never knew, looked it up, and it's the word I've been searching for describe how I feel :P you learn something new everyday.

You are either Atheist or theist.

Agnostic is not a belief but a knowledge based statement which can be assed to the ends of a belief.


I am an atheist agnostic.

Saying you are just agnostic does not answer the question.

I took a closer look at what it was about and it seems to be about better treatment for slaves. A possible reason I thought of why did it not say slavery is forbiding is because every one wouldn't go for it so instead it was easier to hinder it like the slavery of black people they couldn't get rid of it so they made a law about shipping across the sea and it hindered it (or some thing like that).

What are the contradictions?



I supose we don't know enough information to even argue about certain things in the bible since certain thing are to do with the times and just because you have some one who believes in god and does wrong things doesn't mean it's gods falt. I don't see any one listing a list of things atheist have did wrong.

Btw I couldn't care wether there was a god or not what I don't get is why the hell do athiest keep going on about it.

I think your forgeting religion & God are seperate things.

religion is controled by man, when religion goes wrong it's man that should be blamed not god.

and god doesn't do any thing because it effects free will or some thing like that.

or does religion come from man then man from god.

If god did exist I think its possible or fair to say that god made man and man started a religion to follow god.

If god did not, then man invented a god then started a religion to follow this man-made god.

I think its also possible that god exists, and god didnt actually create man and man created a false god and all this time man has been following this man made god and not the real one.

Guess we'll never really now atleast I guess not anytime soon which is which. It just crossed my mind that we could all be wrong, that the truth actually eluded us all.

Agian I think your forgeting what religion is

I can't explain it very well, my history teacher could tell it very well

it's some thing like religion is mans way of trying to understand god even if there is no god the belief in god still came before the religion
