Faith or Atheism?

[The Catboy]

It would be way too hard for me to classify myself as having either faith or being an Atheist. I guess I am a mix of both.

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

Well considering that it's a talking yes i would start to believe in god if a talking bear said so (if i was atheist which I'm not)

Atheism - I don't trust humans to talk to me about religion anymore.

Would you trust a bear?

If a real bear was talking to me, and I was sure I wasn't tripping on something, then it'd be something supernatural and outside the bounds of reason, as far as my knowledge goes. I'd be interested in what it had to say.

I am not even that either.

I don't think talking to a bear would be very productive, but i guess he can give it a shot.

LOL, I haven't heard anything as ridiculous as this in all my life.

Would you mind pointing out why it is "ridiculous."

Its ridiculous because your mom just happened to remember where she had left them.

If she didn't have all those religion books lying around she would have found it without a problem.

Same here, it definitely would be more convincing than some loon quoting versus from a 2000 year old book written by sheep herders, goat herders and fishermen.

First of all I'd like to point out the reason that there is so much evil, murder, rape etc in the world is because god is testing us, i could go into more detail, but it would be very long.

The world has always been like that. People simply have greater and faster access to information in the world today, so they know about more about the violence that occurs. People were far more miserable in the past than they are today, and the only people who you could argue are being "tested" these days are those in Earth's poorer, or more oppressive countries. In countries like yours and mine, people are (by and large) much happier than ever before in human history.

So she started to pray while she was praying she remembered that she put the papers in her cupboard with all the prayer books and what do you know, they were there. Coincidence? I think not.

I'm pretty sure that if god exists, he/she/it doesn't answer prayers for faulty memories. She remembered the papers were there because she'd put them in with prayer books, and she was praying at the time. That's a pretty basic memory association.

I didn't reply to this question because I thought that it was just another attempt at sarcasm, guess I was wrong...

lolreligion. How many times has this been brought up on temp in the past years.. I've lost count.

I'm the only atheist in my entire family (both sides).
I went to church at least two times a week (usually three) for twelve years.
I've even served for the church for two years under various positions.

Then I realized it was all stupid, at least in my point of view.

Though, I admit, I detest Roman Catholicism because it was, and is, continuously shoved down my throat by my said family.
I don't care what religion you believe in, what sexual orientation/preference is, or whatever, just don't force me to believe or do anything.

God's priorities are messed up.

Dear Lord, The gods have been good to me. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is. So here's the deal - You freeze everything the way it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign....
OK deal!
In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, give me no sign....
Thy will be done.

Wow there's so many people who posted BS here, but I'm not bothered to correct them as it would take up a whole page.
Any way's I went with Faith.

And i just wanted to point out some experiences in my life which convince me that god is real.

First of all I'd like to point out the reason that there is so much evil, murder, rape etc in the world is because god is testing us, i could go into more detail, but it would be very long.

Now

1. There was this time in my life where a lot of stuff was going wrong, not majorly wrong but quite annoying, basically a lot of stuff was going wrong, And also this is around the time that i stopped praying a lot of the time. Basically My life was bad, i had lots of homework, i was irritable all the time and i felt lethargic 24/7. Then i decided to start praying again and as i did my life started to get much better and the problems went away.

There are more situations but right now I'm quite sleepy so not bothered to type.
BTW I'm muslim for anyone who wants to know.

Now we know why God didn't save all those people in Hati, he was too busy answering the prayers of people who lost paperwork or want their school football team to win.

according to mah teacher Haiti went Satanism when they were colonized,instead of praying to God.That's one of their punishment I guess

Wow, even more BS then before, oh well I'll guess I'll just lave it considering that if i did explain it in more detail would take too much time. And I'm really not bothered so I'll guess I'll leave it.

This post just proves you are a weakling that cannot explain why he believes in God (or in your case, Allah, which is technically the same God). Coincidences do not prove whether a god exists or not. And like others have already pointed out, the fact that your mother remembered where she had put the papers (next to the prayer books) while she was praying is only logical.
