i say that
because before when i was in the contemplation phase
things really didnt work out
but once i tried the whole prayin thing
it got better
sure it could be a delusion
but its better safe than sorry right?

Ok Im guessin people are gonna get where I stand in my beliefs by now. But I just personally find it hard believe that (what I call) and imaginary being is telling us to do this and not do that.

I live what I think is a fine life. Sometimes I do things that are wrong but I never see myself as being punished by the wrath of god or anything. As a matter of fact I find it hard to believe a god would have people fighting over which god is the real god. Even the 10 commandments I find hard to believe.

Im sorry but believing that an almighty being is real and is always watching sounds pretty much like a fairy tale to me.

I believe you should do whats right in your heart and as for the wrath of God, you will have to wait and see for yourself what is true and not true. The bible is like guidelines in the way we live. There are several storys of how things were done in the past to help us make sound decisions on what to do in certain situations or base a decision on right or wrong. If you believe in God then you will find him always looking out for you in lifes trials and experiences. You will find yourself thanking him for the good and questioning his will for the bad. If you do not believe in God then there will be that scientific theory that every thing happens in sequences with logical explanations for every action and reaction. In the end, its all a matter of what you where taught to believe versus what you have grown to believe in your life experiences. Then a fine line where right and wrong meet (aka the shady/gray area). If you do believe in God then do so with all of your heart. If you do not believe in God, then you do not with all of your heart. As long as you do the right thing and you are comfortable with where you stand, then it should not matter what anyone else thinks. Its a shame that people can condem others for their beliefs or critisize others for either side of the coin. I say take a stand for what you believe and hold your ground firmly. Be the best person you can be and live your life the best way you know how. Raise your family in a tradition that will honor the family name. Peace on earth is and always will be the best for all concerned. You will always have the 10% to deal with in any case cause they dont know any better just like junior members who refuse to read the rules here and get banned for stupid stuff. Pick a side good or bad, right or wrong, wise or unwise.etc....Live and learn, and make changes where applicable.
I believe God created man and man has created God!

God is a God right?Satan is a God too ok?Satan helps "Bad" people and God good right?i never hear anyone say that satan helped me etc.i think about the whole thing relegion made this like a standar(just like metal music that only long-haired and drug taking people hear this music)they can't really proove anything they just say what it was said in the old days.
anyway i am saying that and i know god excists but i don't worship him(never go to church etc)

oh i heard some other say that god doesnt excist cause he is a soul and souls can't live without a body things like that.i don't care what everyone believes though i know what i know

Am I the only one, that's thinks if J.R.Tolkien (sorry If I misspell it) lived before our time, like before the rome time, 1000 year B.C, and written Lord of the Rings, that the book would be a holy bible, an own religion?
Becuase it's very much like any other religion, execpt for the life-style part. But look it now, we take greekmythology, as a mythology and not as a religion. It was a religion for those who belived and followed greekmythology! and we call it mythology. In 5000 years in the future, maybe we call Bible, a european-mythology, or bible-mythology etc.

There are realy strange religion in the world. So why should J.R. Tolkien have a breaktrough if he wrote it earlier and was a fanatic to make it a religion a lifestyle?!

i hadda class on tolkien
he was a good writer
he believed he was divinely inspired
aloooooooooot of his writings reflect that of the bible
his three upbringings were:
-anglo-saxon lit (beowulf)
-romanticism (wordsworth, etc..)
-roman catholicism
these 3 things made the structures of his belief
it was no new idea
but a synthesis of the three
(also WWII, industrial revolution, his love for trees, etc..)
