Well, I for one don't believe there is one.
One reason being..

There are so many 'god's' around,so much trouble in the world ,a lot is caused by people believing in different things.
If there was only one 'god' I might not feel the same.

I know what I am trying to say but cant get it out right lol

Marion

I'm going to sit back and do what I'm told now
but I will listen to everyone thoughts on this
Thanks for understanding where I'm coming from folks.

i know that fi xx,

staying out of this now

stella

Stella you know I would never try to discuss or condem anyones belief

And yes we all believe in something.
Life is about differances
without it there could be no debate
xxFi

Well said Stella

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Waves to everyone~~~~~~~~~

could say a lot lol....but won't ...take too long to work out exactly what i want to say....

just that
I do believe there is a God,
that he is not what we are able to comprehend as yet,
and yes I have doubted his existence for all the reasons so eloquently stated by others...

i am not of any particular religion, i have my own belief in a god and that is my personal choice, my faith in this will never be shaken .and it is not open for discussion.

I would never argue over religion ..

and i agree Ellan . Rwanda is another case in point. Though i wasnt there for that one. most of us know what horrors occured.


Rio

Don't worry Catherine I am here to keep my eye on things today and will pull the thread if I think it is getting too negative.
But we all have the right to have our own beliefs

I know this may sound a bit you know...

But I think this thread may get to hot to handle and people end up fighting like a couple of weeks ago.

So please tread carefully the boards have only just been reunited again.

the red indians had it about right, they had many gods, the sun the rain the wind the earth and many more, things that they could see and feel

what about the young mother who died for her god this week,is that right

Rio I agree with completly
ther are so many things in this life
that could be changed by us humans

I will never understand why we sit back
and ignore random acts of violence
xx

No one person will ever understand everybodies point of view!!

Faith can be sorely tested in many ways. It is how the individual wishes to handle it.

When the total inforgiving, unadulterated waste of human life in the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia is witnessed first hand, The futile screams of women and children going unheard... One has to question the validity of a higher being.

It is within everyone.. i believe for themselves to make a difference .. not rely on an entity that may or may not exist.

Im my humble opinion!

I apologize to anyone who finds my thoughts offensive Stella but as you qiute rightly said it is so very personal,I would never condemn anyone for their beliefs.
I just don't understand why there is so many bad things happening to innocent people
xx

I think you and I think so much alike Rio
we could be twins
I try to reconcile things in my head
but always come back to the same thing
xx

i dont understand the thinking of you 2 men, but it is a very personal thing for each of us and we should respect each others opinion about this

Think I must have lost mine a while ago
and things like this tragedy only reinforce that
xx

Hi Clueless,

We have really 2 options in my view.

I .. as an individual can go through life with the point of view that:

There is no god .. and take my chances when i get to the pearly gates..

or

There is a god .. and be well miffed when there are no pearly gates.

to put it another way ...

Is it best to go through life believing in a god. . to find out there isnt one..
or
to go through life NOT believeing in a god to find out there IS one.??
