    Do You Think Ghosts Are Real?

    I'm at work right now. This is already far from productive seeing that I should be focusing on the task at hand. The reason I usually voice my dissenting views first is because I like to crush my opposition before they have a chance to speak. :: Flexes Arms ::

    Do You Think Ghosts Are Real?

    This must be an inside joke or something I'm definitely missing...how come people keep mentioning unicorns? I keep noticing that in threads.

    Do You Think Ghosts Are Real?

    I'm aware, that's why I separated the two thoughts. I wasn't really looking for positive feedback, just conversation. I always cast judgment on people..it's what I do. I'm judging you right now for misspelling words.

    Do You Think Ghosts Are Real?

    Yea thats true. I usually throw my keys on my kitchen table when I get home from work. Might explain why sometimes I find them on my bathroom floor.

    IF Aliens Exist

    They do, at least on this thread. :: raises hand :: Makes sense though. Could possibly be us from another dimension if we share similar physical attributes. Science needs to hurry it up and let me know before my generation dies. If we could at least verify there is life on another planets...

    Do You Think Ghosts Are Real?

    If you believe it, then it's true to you. People who see ghosts are people that believe ghosts exist. I personally don't, and wish all the ghosts that are out there would come slap me some high fives because...I know there's no such thing. I've never seen one and find the thought of it...

    why do athiest insist they dont need any rules to live by ...when you see the state of mankind today

    wow. Okay I'll make it easy for you to understand my point then. Wars have been waged because of Religion. You can not deny this. People use religion as a reason to kill other people. But oddly enough, It's like the Spanish Inquisition never happened to you. Political or not the avenue used was...

    why do athiest insist they dont need any rules to live by ...when you see the state of mankind today

    What's the point of replying my post when you fail to answer my questions..every time? You just avoid them and give smirk little remarks that don't even pertain to anything I post. Initially I asked how many wars were fought because of atheism, and then how many were fought due to religion? I'm...

    Why do people worship images/objects?

    If we apply these Eastern Orthodox views you mention to an example I'm about to give, can you offer some insight on how this would be rational. Example: I work at an art store and I'm a very good artist of Muslim descent. One of my job responsibilities is to craft art and draw images of Jesus...

    What do Alien-believers belief in...

    We don't know. Could be just a story, could be real. We come to our conclusions about whether or not something is real based on our ability to rationalize things in our mind. If we can't explain an unknown, we'll try to develop ways to explain it. I suppose what I'm trying to say is....If we can...

    Repetition: Another proof of God.

    I came from space. Thats easy to tell everyone too. :cool:

    Repetition: Another proof of God.

    Wow! It's so obvious you can even predict the future. How can you tell us where we're going if you don't even know where we came from? You can't, you're just standing in the middle with suppositions. The universe could not have always existed? Why not? You weren't there to know if a previous one...

    Why push your religion on people?

    In the case of someone telling me I will go to hell for not accepting God/Jesus in my life...My only reply would be "Bring it on." :cool:

    Why do people worship images/objects?

    I asked... You said... hmm. When I first posed this question your initial response was Not sure where you stand, because the caps in NOBODY had me really thinking you were putting your foot down....until you raised it and crossed over to other side where contradiction lies.

    Why do people worship images/objects?

    ::uncloaks spaceship:: So basically we're not worshipping the object, but using it to experience God vicariously. It helps to maintain focus on what we're praying to/for. A middleman in disguise, how coy. What about the people that find significance in objects though? For example; what about the...

    Why do people worship images/objects?

    I always thought that the statues had some symbolic meaning that was needed for prayer or worship. My mother had an altar decorated with pictures of Gods that she prayed to every morning. I always felt like if by accident I had damaged one of these photos something bad would happen to me in...

    Why do people worship images/objects?

    Ahh, this is a very good response. That's a good analogy, its like a telephone. I'm able to grasp the concept a bit better now. Excellent.

    Why do people worship images/objects?

    You're right, I don't understand veneration of images, that is why...I made this thread. I understand your explanation, it makes sense. So if it's the case and we're not worshipping the statues, can I kneel down in front of a statue of Jesus and praise Allah? Would that be wrong? I don't think...
