just my opinion....

Very true, infact thats how I felt not too long ago, and somedays still question gods existance. I can't imagen sitting in a hole for the rest of ever though. Something has to come after, just has to. After all these years of growing up, working, having kids, getting old, grandchildren and then death. It cannot happen. But if that is what is going to happen, lets not argue over dumb things, but enjoy the short time we have on life and live life to the fullest.

what i think about dieing is just having a huge dream!! like we could all be doing some of that lucid dreamnig crap, and when you die, youre actually just waking up.

Rob1231 · 07-27-2006, 04:48 AM

wow, umm thats an idea! Different, but still good. Almost as if you were someone in someone elses dream and you just woke up late for work, and your on a totaly different planet different people, in your 20's. Think how weird that woule be, but no one never remembered waking up from this dream, but already living there before. That would be weird!

gave it a shot, since were all talking about views on death, adn heaven is real or not.

Rob1231 · 07-27-2006, 04:51 AM

there made it bigger, sounds much better now.

This is kind of weird, were all talking in this thread now and most people thought it was dumb at first, I know I did.

I just don't like the people that say everything is god's wish, or everything is according to god's plan. Like my friend, who just got dumped by a boyfriend, is not going to date anyone for the rest of High school because she says 'it's god's wish.' What a load of horseshit.

(oh, she was actually meaning that too. Not joking or anything. She is Not going to date anyone.)

Thats the kind of thing that pisses me off. People changing their lifes because they think its "gods wishes". Religion isnt bad until people start changing the way they think and function because of it.

You got that from one of my previous posts.

stinkypitz · 07-27-2006, 06:26 AM

What previous post? I posted that on the onion core a while ago

n8thegr8 · 07-27-2006, 06:39 AM

I think religion is crap. I mean the whole conflict in the middle east for the past couple thousand years has been all caused by religion. But don't get me wrong, I believe in God, that he created everything, and in heaven/hell. I just don't see how someone can step back, and look at all the complexities and vastness of the universe, and think that it all just randomly happened. There may not be any evidence for creation, but the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence :P (I love that movie). I personally think that with all the structure, diversity, and complexities in the universe, Intelligent design is by far the most plausible theory.

Then comes the argument that evolution could cause simple things, such as the first cell, to become complex and diverse, since nothing would evolve in the same exact way. Evolution is a mistake. It is a mishap. A change from structure, but why would structure have to be created? Why couldn't structure happen naturally, and something, a mishap...and variant from the norm, mess up structure?

Religion; critical thinking at its best

Dende00 · 07-27-2006, 07:14 AM

God exist, its religion that is to be questioned.

n8thegr8 · 07-27-2006, 04:48 PM

I was just saying that with the laws of physics and everything is perfectly in balance. If the earth was tilted off it's axis even one degree this way or that, We'd either be frozen, or scorched. How could that have just happened randomly? Just some big piece of crap explodes, and then all the universe exists. What made that piece of crap explode? where did it come from? was it the only piece of crap? That was one big piece of crap to make the entire universe. I dunno. I just can't see it.

Sullivan · 07-27-2006, 05:26 PM

damn, this thread is just getting full, of questions that cant be answered.
