what is my religion if i believe in god

I don't think I could, nor can anyone, use it as a tool to convince people on the facts about God's existence. Why has it not? God will straight up send you to Hell. Or they will shut you down by telling you not to ask such questions.But the questions don’t go away. Why would an all-loving God set up a system whereby the vast, vast majority of his children would never get a chance to hear the ‘truth’ and be saved, and thus be condemned to an eternity of torture? This shows he is without love or mercy. (Example: ‘God exists because the Bible says God exists.’) The argument from personal experience. By subscribing, you agree to the terms of our How can anything imperfect come from a perfect God? In retrospect, I think that the purpose of my religion class is to teach the values of the Catholic Church and to foster a good individual. Rules, laws and rituals that restrict and govern behavior. How can there be “• It’s blindingly obvious that all world religions are the product of extremely ignorant (not stupid) near-barbarians who didn’t understand much about the world around them and made up stories to explain things the best they could.• It’s also blindingly obvious that most people who say they believe in God believe in the God that is worshiped by the culture in which they grew up. We know that we are a product of evolution and not the whimsical conjurings of a capricious deity. And you learn about religious myths from other cultures and you think: hmm, that’s kind of like what I grew up believing. Not one single prayer was ever answered.”“The concept of God is logically inconsistent. If God isn’t prepared to answer prayers in a very concrete way, i.e (Hey, God, I don’t have a job or I don’t have money to pay the rent), then s/he is less than useless to me. The question necessarily divides the very nature of God.

Each decision to be taken is evaluated on its own merits, weighing up the pros and cons, and is not forced down a path by a pre-existing code of conduct dating from a time of ignorance and superstition.“The God of the Bible (and the Koran, and the Book of Mormon, etc.) And I have never, NEVER heard of any argument that had even a Frankly, it seems as if the entire Convert-an-Atheist strategy is based exclusively on insulting their intelligence and expecting enthusiastic acceptance.We now understand the workings of so many things that were previously attributed to gods. I see absolutely no reason whatsoever to have a God in my life who is unwilling or incapable of answering emergency prayer.In any event, I must have prayed for something like 25 or 30 years. And it is blindingly obvious that any justification for believing in God is part of an ever-shrinking ‘god of the gaps’ argument.• It is also blindingly obvious that the holy scriptures that supposedly provide the only source for knowledge about God are riddled with internal inconsistencies and blatantly wrong information about the world and world history.• It is also blindingly obvious that every depiction of God that is actually worshiped by anybody is riddled with logical inconsistencies. Suicide bombings, torture, genocide, forced marriages, unwanted babies, war – the list is endless.A life without religion and without God thus offers freedom from all of these miseries. Then slowly the weird stories from your religion stop making sense.You cross out the talking snakes and the walking on water and the flying horses, etc.Okay, you think, now I have a good religion without all the hard-to-believe stuff.Then you dig deeper and you realize that even the ‘good’ parts have problems: xenophobia, sexism, slavery, exhortations to kill people who offend your faith or to go to war against them.You decide you need a break from religion to think things through.”“I guarantee neither you nor anybody else has an argument that hasn’t been tried before.

(Example: ‘God is an entity that cannot be proven by reason or evidence.’) Or the redefining of God into an abstract principle…so abstract that it can’t be argued against, but also so abstract that it scarcely deserves the name God.

© 2020 Polarity Technologies LTD Let me start by making my premise clear: Believing in God doesn't mean I believe in religion, and believing in Jesus doesn't mean I believe in the religion of Christianity.While I accept I'll often be lumped into these groups because I believe in God and Jesus, I know that I myself don't subscribe to any organized religion. (Example: ‘God exists because I feel in my heart that God exists.’) The argument that religion shouldn’t have to logically defend its claims. You’re left still wondering. Forever. I have yet to see a sacred book that doesn’t have any mistakes.

I am in full support to that end, which is to be a good individual. Dedicated to your stories and ideas. Unimaginable torment, “The Christian god is logically inconsistent.

(The Bible, to give just one dxample, is “The question that comes up again and again is this one: you have this god with unlimited powers, who knows everything, and who is all-good, so why is there so much suffering in the world?Inevitably when you ask a version of this question, your religious elders will give you answers that sound like they’re making up excuses.
