(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am not looking for a debate on Christianity vs Atheists/Other religions/etc.

I am just looking for the Christian users of NGU.

I am a firm believer in Christ. And I know what his grace feels like.

Please, if you're a Christian, either post here or friend me.

If you are not Christian, you can ignore this thread and I hope you live a good life. (No sarcasm)

Jesus loves you. All of you.

It's good to question your beliefs. One will never be completely certain of their beliefs. Throughout our lives we will live and learn and it will cause our beliefs to differ. What we believe today may change tomorrow. I am not saying we cannot be firm in our beliefs. We should just be open to changing them. People would say I am a pushover if I am willing to change the way I believe. That's not correct. I am simply willing to learn and gain wisdom. What we believe isn't as important as our faith. If you have faith in God, or any other higher power, then you are living the way you should. Even if that higher power is yourself, like atheists, you should still have faith in that. Faith is nothing without the ability to question what you believe.

people die all the time, and to blame it on religion is foolish. it's not the religion that's starting wars, it's the people who are misinterpreting their religion that cause it. men cause wars, religions are (for the most part) against it.

There is nothing wrong with a person of faith to claim another person is ignorant. It is about the way it is done and presented. You presented yourself as a closed minded person who will attack someone else's beliefs, so he has the right to call you ignorant. Your ignorance does not lie in the way you believe. It lies in your closed mindedness. Feel free to question a person beliefs, but do not attack him or put him down.

Also, imagination is nothing to scoff at. Each and every person has an imagination. Different people will imagine different things. Could God be imaginary? Yes. It is very well possible. But you cannot claim someone is crazy for believing it. Everyone believes in something they cannot see. The whole matter of God is a matter of believing something cannot see, whether you believe in His existence or His non existence. You cannot see a thought. It is not tangible. It is something generated by our brains. Are thoughts non existent? Do they not exist within this world? Are they imaginary?

If there was no religion then there would be no fools to misinterpret it.



My point there was that thousands of people get locked up in asylums for having imaginary friends and people consider them crazy, yet they believe in the exact same thing.

Agreed. It is the actions of man that cause war. Religion is inanimate, and cannot cause a war. Only the choices of people can cause it.

Theres no point trying to reason with them.."if you could reason wth religious people there would be no religious people" – house :ha!:

That is the downfall of our society. Not everyone who believes in an imaginary friend is crazy. Some people are. Some people are not. The difference in religion is that people do not consider God to be a real, and tangible being within our world. He is real, but does not have a body we can see. People who have imaginary friends often have delusions of an actual being, with a body, and personality. Someone that they can touch and feel. The belief in God does not lie in the belief that there is someone with a body here next to us, interacting with us. He exists within a different realm. When we pray to Him, we are not speaking to in imaginary being standing in front of us.

Now, this is all the way I believe. Many people of religion would disagree with me.

That's cute and all, but it would be much easier for me to take you seriously if you could add to the discussion yourself, rather than posting a meme. Posting this goes back to attacking ones beliefs, and not having the decency to question them in a civil manner.

I am Buddhist, Christian's ain't got shit on me.
