I feel like I only believe in god when bad stuff happens to me. I have been raised a christian though. I am still undecided
Could someone tell me why this thread was bumped?
SameNever knew this thing be active.
I still don't believe in "gods"
I do believe in karma.
The do good, receive future happiness.
Nope. I was raised in an Evangelic household and apostated when I got a little older. I never saw a real reason to believe. Not one. I was just repeatedly told I should love and fear God, and if I don't, I go straight to hell.
I don't believe in anything supernatural.
Hell ? Not really. Hello doesn't exist. Again, Hell misinterpreted in scripture. Hell is the dead in any of various religious traditions.. I said again, any of various religious traditions, such as the Hebrew Sheol or the Greek Hades.
The bible barely mentions it, seriously! 2 Thessalonians 1:9 says that the punishment for those deemed wicked is not fiery torture, but destruction, “shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”
Mathew 25:46 also talks about hell or at least "eternal punishment". Anyway, I agree with you that Hell doesn't exist.
Now I want to know what you said. ;o;Edit: Knowing how this world works, I know a lot of sensitive people are out there. I'd rather not start a flame war with people that think God exists. If you had the chance of reading this post before the edit, I'm not retracting what I stated.
I'll say it just for you :3 (I don't care what others say, it'll just prove they're in denial).Now I want to know what you said. ;o;
How dare you! You'll go to hell for not believing in the Almighty Arceus!I'll say it just for you :3 (I don't care what others say, it'll just prove they're in denial).
The bible is a fictional story book. It's as real as my manga collection.
In Yato we trust!
Well, this isn't entirely true. Actually, many archaeological discoveries have proven merit to the stories told. I wouldn't call it fiction, just a historical re-telling with A LOT of exaggeration.I'll say it just for you :3 (I don't care what others say, it'll just prove they're in denial).

Organized religion is a plague; always has and always will be. Believing in God on the other hand is totally innocuous. I definitely think there's something out there that we couldn't begin to grasp but that's where my opinion ends, as should any other sane individual. Trying to define something as nebulous as "God" is a fool's errand and the basis for hate around the world.

As for afterlife, yes, I most certainly believe in both Heaven and Hell. However, I believe that there's a bit more to it than whether you believe in Christ or not, I personally believe it has more to do with what opportunities you were presented with in life and how you acted on them.
On what basis do you believe in an afterlife? Why do you think that? And hell? Do you not see how things are not black & white in real life, as in right & wrong are not clear and everything is very gray morally, other than killing and stealing, and even stealing could fall into a grey category if the reason outweighs the cost.
There is no logical reason to believe in "Heaven and Hell."
