"I don't believe in God and I don't believe in judgment day"

[Cheri]

I don't believe in God and I don't believe in judgment day!

I think of eating a bullet everyday....many times throughout the course of the day! Has been echoing in my mind for nearly 25 years, off and on. Seems to become more intense, and more often as the years pass by. If there is a God, why did he even create us? To live eternally? For his own amusement? To suffer? Sometimes it seems to me even God has an Ego.... "my way or eternal suffering". Some choice!

Plants and animals die and merely rot back into the Earth. In doing so, it creates more life, but it just goes on that way. Why do we Humans think we are Special, different. If a Meteor slammed the planet tomorrow, we'd all be History. Then what?

If there is a God, He created a beautiful Planet, but then he infected it with the Human Species. We have done nothing to improve the Planet, we just continue to destroy it, moreso each and every day. Apparently we have been created in God's Image, for we too create things that destroy! Weapons, chemicals, etc.

Adults and God, are similar to children and Santa Claus. We tell them to be good for Santa is watching, and if you're not, you won't be rewarded. Same thing we tell Adults about 'finding God". Do what He says, or you lose! Dictatorship?

I used to have faith in Life After Life, but the more I ponder it, I doubt it. We are all connected, but I doubt Spiritually. We are just part of a Big energy Mass. We live, we die, and we are transformed into whatever the Energy Mass produces. I believe Human Beings will one day be extinct, just like the Dinosaurs! It's all for Nothing and why do we continue to Lie to ourselves. Nature doesn't lie, just people! We are a disease, and we are spreading! I am not sure on any of this, for I don't know what is real and what is Not...we have been dis-illusioned for so long now. I do think survival is a Basic Instinct, but I've lost the will. Does it REALLY matter in the Big Picture, if there is one? I don't believe in Judgement Day! We are just Mutations and maybe one day, nature will cure itself by ridding itself

From Police Officer's respond:

I am sorry that you are so bitter. I am not sure why you are so bitter, but it sure seems that you are. You keep saying if there is a God. There is, you can see Him all around you. Do you really think you are no more than just an animal? How do you think this beautiful planet got here? Do you really believe that an explosion in space caused all that you see today? That is what I meant when I said you can see God all around you.

You asked why God created us. Okay I guess that is a fair question. Maybe He wanted to show His love for us. Now I am sure you will say something like if God loved us there would not be any death or evil in the world. Well God loved us enough to give us free will. The free will to either serve Him or not. When sin came into the world it is what corrupted the world. Look around you, the evil in the world is there because people choose to do it. I spent 7 years as a Police Officer, and I am here to tell you people do evil things because they care about themselves and no one else. Just read some of the messages I have posted and you will see the same thing. People who blame the evil in this world on religion and its rules. Get rid of the rules, they say, and things would be a lot better. Talk about having your head in the sand.

God could kill everyone who did anything wrong as soon as they did it, but then the world would be very empty. Can you honestly say you have never done anything wrong? See my point. You also asked if God created us just for His amusement. Well He knew before He created us that we would rebel against Him. His holy nature demanded that anyone who sins dies for that sin, so even before He created us He made a provision for our salvation. He came as a human being and died in our place. Yeah that must have really amused Him to be spit on and to take your blame and shame and mine too to the cross. No, He created us so that He could show us His love: (Romans 5:8 NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

You said we are a disease, but if you don't believe in a Creator then you must believe in evolution, right? If you believe in evolution, then we are not a disease, we are the highest form of life yet to evolve. So we are not the problem we are the salvation of life, because life is always moving up. Yeah, I agree that is absurd, but then again I am not the one who believes it.

You don't believe there will be a judgment day, okay, but what if there is? What happens then? If I am right, I am in good shape and your are in trouble, but if you right so what? What have I got to lose either way? What have you got to lose? Well a lot if there is a God and one day you have to stand before Him. I would think this stuff out really good before I made that my final answer.

If there is a God, like I say there is and like He says, and if He sent His only Son to die for you, and you reject Him, don't you think He will be just a little upset with you? (Hebrews 10:31 NIV) It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I will pray for you. I hope you can find what you are looking for. I believe it is God, but you will have to make that decision yourself.

Everything that the police officer state is so true. AMEN

Yep!! He got a very good point. I applause him for that.

 

[Hwy99]

Well the police haven't yet proof if the God was there. Also the reason why people who doesn't believe in God kept mention about the God is because they want to tell that they do not believe in God.

Yes he did, read it again, better let me show you. "You keep saying if there is a God. There is, you can see Him all around you"

And re-read my post. I already explain why people who don't believe in God kept mention about God is because they want to say that they don't believe in God.

You don't know what people are thinking, unless it came out of their mouth, don't accuse, because it make you look like a fool.

Allright I guess I would just let the Atheist to express their word, but I wouldn't be so surprised although because I understand Atheist's feelings.

 

[XBGMER]

Cheri, I am not here to hold against you. But I notice you depend on people's thinking, judging and saying. you look up at police officer's thinking, judging and comments, because He is authiorzed officer and man who can say anything about God! Why not you depend your own logical thoughts what you believing and belief?

Is that what you think of me?

What's wrong with agreeing with Police Officer's comment? It's not like I was following the Police Officer's beliefs. I have my own, and my own is following God.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

I agreed with Police Officer that the man is bitter man and find excuse to blame God for anything to satisfy his anger.

I read between man and police officer and then check your link... Ahhhh... Blue is man and green is Ralph. I has no good feeling about this. I guess that Ralph made it up himself for blue and green sentences to show us because blue sentences without name? Did Ralph ask man for permission before paste his writing in Ralph´s website? Ralph did not credit man´s name in his website?

Blue sentences is too extreme and no sense to me... It seem that Ralph make it up and make non-religions look bad? It´s not all non-religions who extreme about God but use their own philosophical logic and sense.

Those link sound fishy to me.

 

[moonflower]

amen to the police officer comment

Did Liebling said she agrees with Police Officer? Tell me I'm not dreaming.

It´s not all non-religions who extreme about God

I disagree, Most unbelievers had made assumptions, lies about God without listen to reasons the truth.

 

[sequoias]

I hate to say it but I agree with him. we all have our opinions, there is no such thing as truth about non religious or religious.

 

[Cheri]

Which one guy do you agree? the guy who wrote the first paragraph or the police officer who wrote the second paragraph?

 

[Byrdie714]

I don't think the person is bitter for asking what he is asking. I think that is being blown out of porportion.

I don't think the police officer is wrong either. It's just his belief.

I just think that we all will never know until the end. We may end up being reincarnated into the next life. We may go to heaven, we may go to hell. Or we may not go anywhere and slowly decompose into the soil.

Science and Religion has always been at odds with one another. For many years, Religious people has taught that the earth was flat when it was actually round. Science has taught that the earth was round, not flat as believed by religious people. Religious people have taught that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun orbits around us. Not the other way. Again, it was Science that taught us that we revolve around the sun proving Religion wrong again.

The one debate I find interesting and entertaining is the evolution of the human species.....of course I am not going to open up a thread on that. But again, Science has proven Religion wrong again as always.

Is there a God? Who knows. If you believe it, good for you, if not, good for you too.

It's moot to say otherwise if you haven't been to the other side.

Sorry Byrdie but the Church and the Bible has always promoted round not flat earth. Read the following to understand how that got confused and the church was blamed for it.
Lactantius
The earliest of these flat-Earth promoters was the African Lactantius (AD 245-325), a professional rhetorician who converted to Christianity mid-life.

He rejected all the Greek philosophers, and in doing so also rejected a spherical Earth. His views were considered heresy by the Church Fathers and his work was ignored until the Renaissance (at which time some humanists revived his writings as a model of good Latin, and of course, his flat Earth view also was revived).
Cosmas Indicopleustes and Church Fathers
Next was sixth century Eastern Greek Christian, Cosmas Indicopleustes, who claimed the Earth was flat and lay beneath the heavens (consisting of a rectangular vaulted arch). His work also was soundly rejected by the Church Fathers, but liberal historians have usually claimed his view as typical of that of the Church Fathers.

US Library of Congress head, Daniel Boorstin (quoted above), like historians before him, simply followed the pattern of others without checking the facts. In fact, most of the Church Fathers did not address the issue of the shape of the Earth, and those who did regarded it as “round” or spherical.

Washington Irving and Rip Van Winkle

In 1828, American writer Washington Irving (author of Rip Van Winkle) published a book entitled The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus. It was a mixture of fact and fiction, with Irving himself admitting he was “apt to indulge in the imagination.”

Its theme was the victory of a lone believer in a spherical Earth over a united front of Bible-quoting, superstitious ignoramuses, convinced the Earth was flat. In fact, the well-known argument at the Council of Salamanca was about the dubious distance between Europe and Japan which Columbus presented—it had nothing to do with the shape of the Earth.
Later Writers Repeated the Error

In 1834, the anti-Christian Letronne falsely claimed that most of the Church Fathers, including Augustine, Ambrose and Basil, held to a flat Earth. His work has been repeatedly cited as “reputable” ever since.

In the late nineteenth century, the writings of John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White were responsible for promoting the myth that the church taught a flat Earth. Both had Christian backgrounds, but rejected these early in life.

Englishman Draper convinced himself that with the downfall of the Roman Empire the 'affairs of men fell into the hands of ignorant and infuriated ecclesiastics, parasites, eunuchs and slaves' these were the 'Dark Ages'. Draper's work, History of the Conflict between Religion and Science (1874), was directed particularly against the Roman Church, and was a best seller.

Meanwhile White (who founded Cornell University as the first explicitly secular university in the United States), published the two-volume scholarly work History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, in 1896.

Both men incorrectly portrayed a continuing battle through the Christian era between the defenders of ignorance and the enlightened rationalists. In fact, not only did the church not promote the flat Earth, it is clear from such passages as Isaiah 40:22 that the Bible implies it is spherical. (Non-literal figures of speech such as the “four corners of the Earth” are still used today.)

Encyclopedias Erase the Myth

While many will have lost their faith through the writing of such men as Irving, Draper and White, it is gratifying to know that the following encyclopedias now present the correct account of the Columbus affair: The New Encyclopaedia Britannica (1985), Colliers Encyclopaedia (1984), The Encyclopedia Americana (1987) and The World Book for Children (1989).

There is still a long way to go before the average student will know that Christianity did not invent or promote the myth of the flat Earth.

Charles Darwin, the most famous promoter of evolutionism.
Flat-Earth HeyDay Came with Darwin

The idea that the earth is flat is a modern concoction that reached its peak only after Darwinists tried to discredit the Bible, an American history professor says.

Jeffrey Burton Russell is a professor of history at the University of California in Santa Barbara. He says in his book Inventing the Flat Earth (written for the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's journey to America in 1492) that through antiquity and up to the time of Columbus, “nearly unanimous scholarly opinion pronounced the earth spherical.”

Russell says there is nothing in the documents from the time of Columbus or in early accounts of his life that suggests any debate about the roundness of the earth. He believes a major source of the myth came from the creator of the Rip Van Winkle story-Washington Irving-who wrote a fictitious account of Columbus's defending a round earth against misinformed clerics and university professors.

But Russell says the flat earth mythology flourished most between 1870 and 1920, and had to do with the ideological setting created by struggles over evolution. He says the flat-earth myth was an ideal way to dismiss the ideas of a religious past in the name of modern science.

The Bible of course teaches the correct shape of the earth. Isaiah 40:22 says God sits above 'the circle of the earth' (the Hebrew word for 'circle' can also mean a 'sphere'). Also, Luke 17:34-36 depicts Christ's Second Coming as happening while some are asleep at night and others are working at day-time activities in the field-an indication of a rotating earth with day and night at the same time.
Footnote

1. Boorstin acknowledges in his book that by the time of Columbus, most educated Europeans believed in a spherical Earth.

Makes sense....but what about the argument of the earth being in the center of the universe or is that all pretty much the same argument that you are presenting?

You got a good point on that question.

Since no one knows the boundaries of the universe, then how do we know that earth isn't in the center? (I'm not talking about the earth's position in the solar system.)
