Is there really something up there?
The brother of my grandma has been a missionary all his life, he started it when he was 22.
Now, he is 79 years old, he got back to Holland(where he lives) 5 years ago.
For 3 years he has been suffering from an uncurable desease.
Now , it is certain that he will die within 3 months. You might think, what's wrong with that, a peacefull death? No. He will suffocate.
Now, he also got cancer, on top of the other desease...
Doctors give him morfin against the pain. You would say, why not kill yourself?
That is completely out of the question, because he is catholic, and it's against god's will to kill yourself. "Suffering is also a part of life".
Then I wonder, for over 50 years he's been working in Africa, with only 1 purpose in his life: God. Now , after those 50 years, he's bound to die a most aganising death. Then I wonder, is there really someone up there?

Over 100 000 deaths in Asia, the number rises on daily bases.
What could humanity have done so wrong to justify this?
If there is any part of the world that maybe would deserve anything like that , it's Northern Europe. Look at Holland, Belgium, France, Germany.
In those country's not even 25% of the people living these go to a church once a year.(including me) If there is any region that should be "punished", it should be Northern Europe.

Give your opinion about this...

I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings , I just want to discuss this topic.

Yay, it's the 53,591'th thread asking "do you believe in God."

This topic has been exhausted.

I don't believe in anything up there.

eh, I believe a single supreme, just being. Just not the God we're used to.

I do believe there is something up there. I undeniably defy Him everyday, so I'm fucked. Hooray.

that's always fun, isn't it?

But there's so many variations of God, it's hard to know what or who is right.

The one who hates people that aren't straight is the right god!

And of course, I would've expected that remark from someone else.

Like YOUR PARENTS?

zing!

More like from you, KA, or someone else.

I knew sum1 was gonna say sumthin like that

It's to be expected. A year ago, I'd have been whining and bitching about it, but now I don't even bother to care. They'll say what they want and there's nothing I can do about it. So I try to have some fun with it.

I think organized religion has really messed up people's image of God.. especially Catholicism.

I think people just in general have done that job.

I bet if we tried hard enough, we could still make you cry over your ' boyfriend '


Faggot.


Anyways, yes i believe in god.

We have no way of knowing anything, and there is no way to justify your belief in anything. Don't try. If you believe in something, you believe in it. Seacrest, out.

Seacrest needs to die, but on-topic there is a god imho, he just doesn't come impact our lives everyday.

Yes I believe in god, alot.

We're all going to die in 7 years, this is the 7 years of hell on earth until 2012. Goodbye sweet sweet ironic shithole world.

Probably not, slaynish. But your belief in a god is your belief. Choose whom you want to believe in if you wish.

In this case, I must quote the great one:

For once i agree with the D3V.


You're wise.

I believe in it too, since i was in 3rd grade and i heard the tales of the wise man, i forgot who predicted it, but it was an indian american wasnt it?

I believe that as much as I believe in the world being flat.

Didn't you know? The world IS flat, it's in the bible codes man!

Bible code is cool :-)

I think our "God" is aliens.

I'll explain more at a later date.

My friend thinks the same exact thing that you do, but I think he's weird. One night we were all drunk and we started talking about religion(donno why..). Anyway, he's like, "I think babies should be put into rooms until they age to 18 and see what kind of religion/faith they come up with." That's just one of his weird ass ideas.

I kinda forgot where I was going with this.. So, fuck it.

What a fucking gay thing to talk about while you are drunk.

Jk man.

I despise all those petty religions. Its been proven that human fossils/remains date back before "God created heaven and Earth...".

Nah, you're right. I went over there after visiting my girlfriend and they were all talking about it when I walked in; one of my friends was crying (lmao).. so I just joined in on the conversation and got piss drunk. Good times.
