I believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and died on the cross for all our sins and did miracles his whole life.

What do you believe, and why?

I believe that you are completely and utterly incorrect in your absurd assumptions. I, and a legion of others, believe that the Abrahamic God is just another in a long-line of made up entities. Of course, to paraphrase Richard Dawkins: "Everyone is an Atheist, some of us just believe in a few less Gods than the rest"

If you can provide me with objective proof that your particular fictional characters (AKA Jesus and the Abrahamic God) exist and have all the supposed powers and Heaven/Hell exist - I will be more than happy to switch to your side.

Ach, I had a short paragraph but I disconnected after posting...So what Avorne said, adding that this is a duplicate paragraph do to its similarities with the Christianity V.S Atheism thread and the What Is Your Religion? thread.

Well, Jesus is actually considered to be a real historical figure. However, the assume him to have suffered from severe dellusions which led to him being crucified.

I can research and find proof for why Jesus is Lord, but that won't convince anybody. All I know is that I have seen God do miracles in my life and my families lives, that cannot be coincidences. I have a personal relationship with Jesus, that is not one sided. And no, I am not hearing voices.
Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, I am new and haven't looked at all the threads yet.

Could you tell me more about this? Is it the kind of relationship where he tells you to do stuff, or do you have slumber parties and share gossip? Perhaps you're even more than "just friends"? Details plx.

You are very lucky.

What do you believe, and why?

I don't believe in anything at all. And the reason I lack belief is the same reason for everyones' beliefs, around the world; that's what I was taught. Not necessarily taught, you know, "There is no God," but I was not raised to believe in the Biblical Lord, I was not raised to believe in Krishna or Vishnu, I was raised with no religion so that's what I am.

REAL evidence? Sure, that would convince me.
But made-up stories on the internet, assumptions, connections, etc...that is not proof. Therefore, of course, whatever &quotroof" you find will be dismissed.

All I know is that I have seen God do miracles in my life and my families lives, that cannot be coincidences.

Name some.

have a personal relationship with Jesus, that is not one sided And no, I am not hearing voices.

Well...if you're not hearing voices, how can you have a two-sided relationship? Does he write it out for you? Do you hear voices(not necessarily crazy) or what?

I believe that Jesus existed. I also believe that he was no son of God.
Ahem...and here, I pull out mah fave edited picture. It's a bit brash, but pretty funny.

Really? Whenever I try to pray, all I hear is my voice. I don't hear Jesus praying to me. I really can't truly love someone with out meeting them first.

Well, someone opened up a floodgate.

I'd beg you to stay active though as we haven't had a Christian who's grammar isn't awful in months.

Personally I'm an agnostic atheist, that is why I don't necessarily believe in a god I'm not opposed to the idea either.

Because there is no proof...

And even if he did exist, what makes him "lord"? I find monarchs to be out of date. I wouldn't follow him at all...

All I know is that I have seen God do miracles in my life and my families lives, that cannot be coincidences


Care to give an example? The only thing that "Could not be a coincidence" would be something that modern science can not cure and that will not go away on its own, like an amputated leg for example. Once he fixes an amputee then it can't be a coincidence. Until then, it is only a coincidence...

So does Goerge Bush, John Smith, and half the united states. And you know what? He either has multiple personality disorder, or does not exist, as he says different things to everyone. I will bring the Nonestampcollector video if I have time...

If someone can tell me how this topic is different than "What's your belief system?" Then I will leave this open.

Um...*thinks* Well Mage hasn't posted his wall of links disproving any type of diety yet.

Well this thread is active and the other isn't as well as this thread was created by a new member who most likely would like to get a real time view of other's beliefs, it's also asserting that Jesus is Lord.
