You have all mocked my theory yet none of you have reason to - none of you have any idea of what i have experienced in christianity. Its like this people- if something feels good we do it right? one example of this that MAY get you people talking is that people have sex without the ultimate goal of reproduction, just fror pleasure. Yet we have how many unwanted pregnancies - what this says is 2 things. 1) we cannot control nature [ even with the pill nature can still win] and 2) people are considered 'stupid' as i have been portrayed for doing/believeing in something purely because of how it feels - YET WHEN IT COMES TO SEX OOOOOHHHHHH WWWWEEEE YES GREAT - YES LOGICAL ETC ETC. in case you didnt realise i am annoyed and i want some REAL responses not jokes - i want real opinion. Thank u !!!! LOLITA!!!!

I can deny God exists!
Lolita, you do not ask a question. You simply make a statement about your belief in God and expect us to come up with our own response. Therefore, you open the doors to whatever the TFPers want to discuss.
I believe God was created to answer all life's unanswerable questions. Over the centuries, people have argued and debated on God's existence, and over the centuries, people have developed a faith to help them explain what they can't. I believe God is the easy way out to figuring out why we are here in the first place. Your faith in God is nothing new. Your faith has been carried over from your ancestors. Your faith has been redeveloped and redefined over the centuries and it is so imbedded into our culture that there will probably always be some sort of Christian faith out there. However, how can you explain the different gods and religions that so many other people and cultures believe in? From Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Mormonism, etc......all these religions think that "their" god or belief is the only belief. So who is right? Well, you are Lolita, because you have faith in your God and believe he supercedes all other gods and religions, right? Why do you think we still have wars over religion? Because cultures still clash over who is right and who is wrong. I respect you for holding true to your beliefs, but just because you have faith that there is a God, doesn't mean that there is for everyone.
Like you, no one here has any idea of what I have experienced growing up as a Christian. I do not presume to know what you have been through either. The problem with this argument is, no matter how long and hard we try to prove the other wrong, we will both be right because that is what we believe.
I rely on proof and evidence, not faith: thats what realism is, about a truth in my mind that can justify the reasons I do not subscribe to any religion. I can deny that god exists!
