Mother Teresa doubted the existence of God until her death. Her whole life. She knew
she was lying, and knew she was a hypocrite. She lived a false life. She felt really
bad about it too...She knew she was spewing bull shit to people all over the world...bull shit that she in fact, knew, was bull shit...and for ALL of the good she did...did she still NOT just get old, sick, and die? ALL THAT LIVES, SUFFERS, SICKENS, AND DIES. BOTTOM LINE. END OF STORY.

This isnt really life i dont think. More 'a walk in the valley of death' Def something more important than this.

Also care to give a source on that nother theresa nonsense you are spewing.

My Granny Goudy had a piece of Padre Pio's glove. Very small piece.

At the end...she was just still looking to reclaim her lost faith. "Such deep longing for God… Repulsed, Empty, NO faith, NO love, NO zeal," she said. As her fame increased, her dying faith refused to return. Her smile, she said, was a mask. Fake. A Facade. "What do I labor for?!" she asked in one letter. "If there be NO God, there can be NO soul. If there be NO soul, then, Jesus, You also are NOT true."

No man can KNOW anything about the afterlife.

I heard someone say that some documents were discovered which PROVED there was an afterlife and I nearly pissed myself laughing. Something man-made to show there was something beyond man. Beyond silly.

I believe there is a higher energy which is beyond our comprehension. Why does everything exist in the 1st place? something put the elements here, to cause the big bang and everythng else after it.

A Creator, an Energy. There is NO denying it exists, as we are its byproduct.

Personally, I have found you can create your own reality by thinking differently. There are delusional people who go thru their life believing they are the King of France, for example. If they think it every moment, every minute, every hour, then guess what - it's true to them. I try to believe I'm a mr O with a ten inch member and ten millino dollar bankroll. As long as I truly believe it, well, I now live in a new (and better!) reality.

Thank Zeus her journal was published.

Perfectly normal and human to doubt god etc. despite her doubt she carried on.

Hell i question doubt god at times, then i go to mass or say a prayer and feel a ral calming soothing feeling right from the top of my head down my back.

I have been told that this is the holy spirit

arce377 · « **Reply #88 on:** August 24, 2008, 02:20:27 PM »

Just live each day and fight to survive. Try to be good, honest, nice, as best you can. At the end, you will die. Just like ALL that has lived, has died. Those you try to tell you what is on the other side or sides...is lying...they are here, NOT there. They just want your money and your obedience. King Qin of China, he who made the fake Army...had ALL that ANY man and or woman could ask for...ALL but ONE thing...He could NOT stop from suffering, getting sick, old, and then dying. An Emperor of the World...and you CANNOT even stop from dying like ANY one else. So to me, Alexander the Great, Qin, Xerxes, etc.,...they are NO better than Bones on Star Trek...or Gary Coleman...Or Beetle on Howard Stern...And yes, ME...

We are ALL just losers...Losers that just die...

No. Sassenach is the term for an Englishman; True Adonis is an Englishman and thus a Sassenach.

I think he was talking about the band Deicide.

God does not exist, so prayers are only a mental thing inside your head.

If you do believe a god exists... how does he control all the stuff on earth? using some kind of satellite connection?? haha

God gave man free will.

I don't believe in God; I believe in conditioning yourself for sucess and develop the right mindset.

Prayer, mediation, call it whatever you want based on your iq level.
