Okay, people choose to be evil, but you said god created us. Therefore god created us that way. He made our ability to choose. He knows everything we're gonna do, therefore he knows exactly how we're gonna act when he creates us, and in turn he creates some of us and makes us evil. If he can see everything, and he still chooses to create us all, then he creates some of us and endows those people with evil.

If god created us, then he created all the ways we think and act. Even freewill is something that he created. With this in mind there is no fair way for him to judge any of us because any flaws or evils he sees in us are evils he made us out of.

Either he created us all or he judges us all, he can't do both and still be a fair judge. Think about it.

Straight back to my original point.  The only way to understand is to search and experiment, not just constantly give up on it and just say it is "god."  Thinking that it's "just not gonna work" is the inevitable downfall of any form of Enlightenment.

It reminds me of the movie "I 'Heart' Huckabees.'  The main character Albert has dinner with a die-hard christian family, and of course they get into a philosophical debate:

...
Mr. Hooten: Sounds like a support group.
Cricket: Why can't he use the church?
Mrs. Hooten: Sometimes, people have additional questions to be answered.
Cricket: Like what?
Albert Markovski: Well, um, for instance: if the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?
Cricket: Mom, we don't have to ask those questions, right?
Mrs. Hooten: Of course not
...

Blind faith or knowledge/thinking for yourself...it's your choice.

Uh, huh. Well, you obviously know everything, since you know that souls or whatever might be a soul-like substance doesn't exist. But if you aren't consistant, then going back and looking through every one of your posts won't help me know your mind any better.

Saying souls are bullshit is really the same as saying that souls are not bullshit. Saying that a soul has never been measured is just that. It hasn't been measured. Logically, you cannot come to the conclusion that it does not exist. There's no solid scientific evidence either way, but claiming either seems to offend anyone of the opposite belief.
No............. There is no evidence to there BEING A SOUL, this is just the human imagination.. That's like saying there is a room with nothing in, and you're claiming there is a table inside, but yet you want me to prove or give evidence there isn't, yet we can SEE that it is empty..

No, no, no, your not getting my point..

lol

My point is WEEEE CAN ALL SEE that nothing is there, but instead of him saying he can prove a table/something is there, he wants me/us to prove something ISN'T there. Which is diabolical.

What makes us different from one another? Monkeys all just look for food and raise the young etc. what made us all have different interests and stuff. If we are all the same inside why dont we all do the same things?

thats pretty much it.  Life is only as complicated as you make it.

ive got the same questions as you, except i dont worry about a god being behind the things i dont understand.  I refuse to use religion to answer life's mysteries.  If I dont have an answer to the things that perplex the human mind today, i know science will eventually evolve and figure that answer out eventually, like it has been for thousands of years.

the truth, unless you were born in a different country and raised to believe differently that is.

If you  were born in the Middle East you would probably preach that Islam holds the truth.

You think it is the truth because you were raised to think it is, not because you know.

No its because ive looked at other religions and none of them compare to what Jesus did, the prophets who knew of him hundred of years before he came, America was based on christianity and it is now the richest, happiest, and most powerful country in the world. Billions of people have seen miracles, demon possesions, and have seen what God can do in life. And christians go to heaven in most other major religions.

so he is brainwashed because he believes something....something he believes and to him he knows is truth....I believe in the same truth, as did the girl who was shot and killed in Columbine for her faith and admitance to believe in Jesus Christ, the one true God.  You are basing your arguements on opinion and philosophical things....not true occurances and proficy that continues to unfold and be proven true.  Secondly, you critisize and fail to see the truth because you do not want to see....seek and you shall find.  For me, and what seems to be for JamDude....we have sought after Christ and just like his word tells us, he is there...Revalation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.".....those who disagree, you just do not want to turn back and believe that God exists, let alone sent his PERFECT son, to earth to die a painful death to save your sins and an opportunity to enter the kingdom of heaven.....its all a choice, as for me i choose Christ and would rather know i am going somewhere when my flesh dies rather than in the ground....or not believe and end up Christians and others who have accepted Christ as their personal savior...and spend eternity in hell.....i just dont think its for me.....

Matthew 7:7-8 - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

...this is an endless argument.

i dont even bother reading your posts to the end anymore, nothing much different then all the other huge amounts of blah blah blah youve been writing.  You got your opinion, I got my opnion.  Nobody is gonna change that, so I dont know what you planned on getting from this thread but whenever religion is topic you will never get a close to that argument.
