fairytale about bunch of guys who are gonna send you to heaven if you believe in them and give money to the people who represent them and if you dont believe in them you will live in eternal fire hell place etc.
That is true i also think so.
I believe in the power of Google, really, it shares the biggest information about everything, connects people and its technology
To be fair google has provided a lot more answers for me than God has.
I'm an atheist so you could say I'm FSM >.> but I can't be bothered geting into it properly. I don't believe in a God I like my beleifs and theories to be logical and backed by proof etc.
I'd count that as more of a cult than a religion, gaga. I find it hard to believe that people would worship a search engine.
Now then! Here's a question for you!
How many followers in a cult is there required to make a religion? I mean really, don't you think scientology is a cult? Don't you think that CHRISTIANITY IS A CULT? After all, god told Isaac to kill his son, abraham. What kinda god does that? I mean, if the dude would willingly kill his son as a sacrifice to god, what makes that different from the mayans who sacrificed their slaves or prisoners to the sun god for nourishment? Seriously now.
Also, god in the first testament had sheep killed in his honor.
I really don't beleive in a religion, but I have decided that I do beleive in a god. I'm just against religion.
I dont know about all of u but religion had actually lead me to happiness. I am a Muslim because of my father waz but we are hispanic. My mom didnt want to believe in Islam cuz she thought the same thing u guys thought. That this religion was causing people in the Middle east to act so violent. She tried to keep me away from islam, but once she read the quaran, she immediently became islamic. Before this she was catholic. I was about 10 when this happened. From then on, i was able to do everything that i was supposed to do as a Muslim
Now with the happiness part, it really does happen. If something just went (even before this when i was in school) if i got into a fight, got a bad grade, or something just bad happened, i would prey everyday and i would become better. I wish you guys could feel the feeling cuz it really does give you hope. But i am not forcing anything on you its just my feelings. Also, it kept me away from all the negative aspects in the outside world: sex, gang initiation, drugs, and any other thing: esspecially in my neighborhood. But i believe that because i was preying everyday which gave me hope was the reason for me surviving.
Theres just too many things God presented us in the quaran or the bible. He gave us facts and described scientific concepts (remember it was during the 900's or something like that) that were beyond human intelligence at that time. Also, he gave us food, the ability to breathe, look, to communicate, and all the other stuff we do, but he could take it away instantly. Also, the stories that they present in the quaran are amazing and just stunning. And with the fact that i really do feel something when preying or staying close, its just too much for me. There has to be a God. I dont know about you guys, but i hope you feel the same as me, but if not, i guess theres no chaning your mind.
Its also sad that people frown upon our religion because of the things that the people of the religion do. In no way in the quran does it say that you should kill your self or terrorize people unless they are underattack. (refurring to the middle east) or beat a woman. Its sad that just cuz arabs do this (although they are fighting for a reason but not fighting correctly) they think all Muslims are bad. Of coarse, they are the wrong doers to me and i dont consider them people of Religion at all. But this is kinda a different subject. Just wanted to say that just cuz a group of people in a religion does something doesnt mean this is the religion it is.
Again, i hope u guys in later time see the greatness of the religion. But you could keep do your thing and its fine for me. Doesnt bother me at all. its just a feeling i want to share with everybody.
