In a world without a "GOD".

[Man of Steel]

When you claim to have a personal relationship with a literary character you expect to be taken seriously?  If God were real I still wouldn't want to have a personal relationship with him and if he were real he would be absolutely NOTHING like the God of the Christian bible

What incentive do I have to lie about my experience?  I'm verbally abused day in and day out around here because of my faith.  It would be better for me, in Getbig terms, to just remain silent or play along with the other cool kids.

[Radical Plato]

How do we know about God? Man , God was man's primitive attempt at explaining the world around him , and he stinks of his lowly human origins projected unto their ' God ' jealously , hate , bigotry , cruelty , fear , spite and anger.

God and religion were at first spoken word handed down though oral tradition from one generation to the next and finally written down into a collection of stories carefully modified over the centuries and used a tool.

Anyone who says they know what God wants because it was divinely revealed to them is a LIAR anyone who claims to have spoken to and knows what this God wants us to do is a LIAR.

There may be some entity that created the Uni/Multiverse ( no probable ) but it most certainly wouldn't be anything like the God as described in the Christian bible , the Holy bible is laughable and it most certainly cannot be taken seriously anymore , the concept of religion is outdated and no longer needed , we have excellent explanations for our natural world and this silly book is no longer required , the only reasons it persists is tradition , fear of death and the hope to have a better world in the afterlife.

I don't feel you are lying , I feel you really do believe you have a personal relationship with Jesus but I also feel you deluded yourself into feeling this way. Your personal experiences aren't proof of God.

You think being an Atheist is cool? I grew up with a born-again Christian mother and a father who was Catholic trust me it wasn't cool telling these people I'm an Atheist. Most of my large family are believers with me being the black sheep

on GetBig you may be the minority but in life you're among the majority , especially considering like 80% of the US consider themselves Christians. You seem like a nice guy and I don't want to be overtly rude to you but when push comes to shove I can't take people seriously when say they have a personal relationship with God , I believe in a persons right to practice any religion he wants my problem with Christians is them trying to constantly force their position on the rest of society , this I find very unacceptable and among my main problems with believers.

HA HA like I would take the opinion of an indoctrinated God Botherer seriously

You can`t possibly be serious here, wow, let me get this straight.  You don`t know, really     , that everyone around here thinks you have a few loose screws, wtf you can`t be in that much denial to not know this. You think there is 1 person here who takes you serious, unreal, if you actually believe anyone even considers your views, reality check, hello, you are the getbig NUTCASE of all time, everyone here knows this

REALITY CHECK IS A BITCH.....WOW

Well, here lies the problem, thousands if not millions have experienced a relationship with the Lord,of course every experience is unique in the same way you experience love for your children. I always compare love with the experience I have with the Lord because it is something only you can feel within and you cannot show others this feeling, but the best you can do is describe it.

Now let us cut all the BS, I am self employed with my own roofing business. I deal with clients everyday and some hand me cheques for 10 000 dollars, I have 2 awesome children, I have competed in bodybuilding and will again,I enjoy going places, watching movie, and my biggest hobbie is studying history. So I am pretty normal and you know I am not crazy cause I agree with you that Yates slaughters Coleman     . What is my point.... well my point is this... my experience with God is stronger then the love I have for my children and that is infinite, so I am more likely to be mistaken that I love my children then the experience I have with my Lord and there is no chance of that.

My question to you is do you love your family and if you do is there a chance you are mistaken about that.

Funny how all you guys always say ....my problem with Christians is them trying to constantly force their position on the rest of society .........all I see around here is the opposite, every thread started here on this subject is done by some mocking, being rude and making fun of others belief.

They believe they experienced a relationship with the Lord , I have no doubt that they believe that but that doesn't make it true. Again people are taught about the Lord and then they develop this ' relationship ' after learning about how wonderful he is and how great he was for dying for you.

My question to you is do you love your family and if you do is there a chance you are mistaken about that.

Wait let me get this straight , you can't really love your family unless you believe in God?

Here isn't reality , most people are exaggerated versions of themselves , some aren't. But in reality in the U.S. Christians are CONSTANTLY forcing their beliefs on the rest of us via policy , Abortion , stem cell research , trying to push that bullshit ' intelligent design ' gay marriage , profanity in music and movies , etc , etc

And the thing with Christians taking a lot of heat for their beliefs is that in this day-and-age , people can be very critical of religion , before people were killed for even suggesting there was no God , or not believing in the ' right ' God. Now we can openly say your beliefs are nonsense with no fear of reprisals

You can believe in your religion just don't expect others to take it seriously.

NO no no, that is not what I meant. Let`s assume you answered yes, you only believe that you love them, you can`t be certain right.  That is what you are saying to us about our experience with God, there is absolutely no difference.

Again,missing the point. How do you know if you love them or only think you love them

You know you love them when you care about their wellbeing, when you express this concern through kind and supportive actions, by desiring good outcomes for them.  You know you hate them when you want to see them all dead either by your own hand or someone elses.  Stop confusing the issue, it isn't hard to know when people love something.  People gravitate to the things they love, if people love chocolate, they eat it regularly, if they don't love chocolate, they avoid it.  I know for some God Botherers they have trouble with simple logic like this, but for normal people, it's not too hard too work out.

I disagree wholeheartedly , I don't have a belief in my family , I don't have faith they are my family They are living , breathing and tangible

And what is love? it's different to all people and who are you do decide what love is or isn't for other people? love is a word we used to describe our feelings towards others and it means different things to different people.

I agree, but you can not prove you love someone to someone else. So I say to you you only think you love them you don`t really know right
