    Can a person choose to believe?

    Consider this as the answer. There are no gods. There is no such thing as magic. Supernatural things do not actually exist except in the minds of believers. People can believe what ever they want, but believing doesn't make it real or true. The fact is, we live in a material world...

    Can a person choose to believe?

    How do you explain the fact that over a billion people do not agree with you. Who has it right ? You or them ? Do you really have the evidence to sweep over a billion people's beliefs aside ?

    Can a person choose to believe?

    In most cases, our beliefs are based on our observations and learnings about the world we live in. We observe the sun rising every day, so we have reason to believe it will rise again. We have never seen a person fly, we know we personally cannot fly. Thus, we don't believe we can fly. (At...

    Can a person choose to believe?

    Maybe, for a person who is still trying to find themselves or find their way in life. But for a person who is comfortable and confident with who they are, no, I don't believe they can suddenly start to believe in God any more than they can suddenly start to believe in ghosts or vampires if the...

    Loving God = Eternal Torture?

    Personally, I don't believe in gods. But I find your interpretation more appropriate than the faith only interpretation. So, what a bizarre situation. Millions of "christians" believing one way and millions of others believing a different way about the most fundamental of issues. How could...

    Loving God = Eternal Torture?

    Your claim is not consistent with the following passages; Mark 16:16. “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.” 2 Thessalonians, 8-9:"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus...

    If there isn't anything to send to hell does that mean there isn't anything to send to heaven ?

    Loving God = Eternal Torture?

    Well, you just made my point. How do you know that God operates as you just described ? If I asked someone else, I am confident I would get a very different answer. Your description of God is not fact but rather your personal belief. Also, it makes no sense that God would intentionally make...

    Loving God = Eternal Torture?

    Reading all of these replies from people professing to know what God REALLY thinks, or does, or how God REALLY feels about something is amusing. How do people know what is in the mind of a god, if God actually existed? If God really existed, and if he really wanted us to know him, his nature...

    Faith in Christ is Completely Logical

    How does your beliefs and your God differ than the thousands that proceeded them that makes them valid and the others not valid ? If your answer is anything other than facts & evidence based, as opposed to faith based, I will not buy it. BTW, why do christians celebrate the story that says...

    By those criteria concern about global warming is a religion.
