Read Genesis, the 1st 2 chapters. And if you ask "is Genesis true", then all I can say is that if Christ believed it, that's good enough for me.
If others don't, fair enough. first day: God made light fourth day: God made the Sun and moon (as lights) Where did the first days light go? Where did the light of the moon go? |

I took up your challenge -
first day: God made light fourth day: God made the Sun and moon (as lights) Where did the first days light go? Where did the light of the moon go? "You have to have faith". |
Re: The power of prayer
When you believe something that is unbelievable you have to have faith and thats what religion is, Faith. I dont have it, nor do I believe - it seems most of us here dont. So we all have to live and let live. Some people need their faith. But this is a really interesting discussion

It's a way of saying it, I guess. But I know (i.e. am convinced) that He still cares.
For pity's sake, He still forgives after 2000 years & what we did to Christ. In the end, everything comes down to faith. Not a copout. Because you cannot prove these things either way, you still have to finish up saying "well, OK, I don't like that bit or that one, but I'll still believe anyway". Not blind naivety either. |

Hats off to the few who had the courage to witness and :thumbdown: to all those who disrespect and throw scorn at believers. |

I think there might be quite a few out there who do believe and do have faith but prefer not to provoke unnecessary hostility and intolerance.

This seems to matter a lot to a lot of non believers.

I am interested in why people have unevidenced beliefs whether they be in gods, homeopathy, ghosts, reiki, flying saucers, Loch Ness monsters, angel therapy, mediums, psychics, astrology, numerology, crystal therapy - that sort of thing.

How come, you think it's OK to take the piss out of people, who express a Christian belief, yet if I responded, in a similar fashion to your posts here, to posters expressing a belief in Islam, you would be all over me like a rash?

Re: The power of prayer
Discussing religion with its encumbering platitudes and incessant contrasting viewpoint is what its there for! It is all about perception, how one sees dissimilar yet interwoven attitudes and beliefs.....Take another look from different angle!
For Example... This may seem a little confusing to some people who have come to know me but it’s what I truly believe, ‘Charity begins at home’ Is the biggest load of bollocks you will ever hear and That Chasing the £ sign is good, So in the future I’ll tell all my friends and family They mean f#ck all to me in this life, My peers will understand that I’ve got my goals set on course and The pursuit of the golden egg and shallow riches Mean more than Close family and friends, I will say to you from deep down in the depths of my heart From the beginning of time Friends and families stayed, played and loved together, But this will not be so in my grandkids lifetime, This is a cheap crass, can’t be arsed throwaway generation, Those supposedly in the know saying 25 years in the future noone will give a flying ****, I am certainly not convinced that The world will be a much happier, safer and better place to live in A quarter of a century down the line, Climate change and Mother Nature will be global and destructive, We won’t stand around wingeing that I, my family and friends care about the world I which we live, It’ll be plain for all to see This race of humans is blind, careless and don’t give a toss, It’s downright crazy to assume that There is some anticipation and the remotest possibility of salvation |
