i dont believe in anything i read, i feel the same way about the news...i must be able to taste, feel,see, or smell it.


So you dont believe in history? You cant taste, feel, see or smell history, but it really did happen. You dont believe in the universe or other planets? You have never been to them, seen them (most of them), felt.....

Do you get what I am saying? Just because you dont taste, feel, see or smell something, doesnt mean it is not real.

Not saying i dont believe in god, but my personal feeling of the matter are far diff from what some book says, "bible"


Some book? The book is thousands of years old. Has been transcribed into hundreds of languages, has been read by more people then any other book in the history of the world, including all "history" text books. Todayts New Testament has been proven to be incredibally accurate as it was when it was written 2000 years ago. This "some book" is believed to be true by more people then any other book ever written. Not just that, but the teachings in the New Testament are nothing short of genius. Read it some time and you will understand what I am talking about.

I have been to church three times in my life, and i caught noticed that most peole there have mad issues.


You came to this conclusion after going to church all of three times? You got to know all the people in the church and their "mad issues" after three whole trips to it? Was there more then 4 people in this church?

QUOTE
I personaly see it as a therapy meeting group over issues that can be hadeld at home.


Once again, three visits and you came to this conclusion?

When i go or when i use to, i felt alot of negative energy


What type of church did you go to? I consider church as a learning center. It teaches me how to be a better person. I learn things that I would not of learned on my own. I only feel better about the world after I go to church and see the things that are being done their. My church goes out and repairs schools, they have volunteers that fix houses for widows and single moms, they do free oil changes for widows and single moms. My church just donated $700,000 worth of heart equipment to a childrens hospital in Cuba. The doctors there said it would save hundreds of lives a year and said they never could of afforded the equipment.

Im not trying to knock it, i think its a great thing for those that are a lil waeker minded, just not for me.


I use to think this way as well. I spent the first 27 years of my life as an atheist. I couldnt understand how people could believe in God. Then I started reading, not the bible, but first century history books. You would be amazed at what you will find in those. One thing led to another and now my views are completely changed.

I am not trying to knock you or belittle you. What I am saying is have an open mind and an open heart. Read more. Listen more. Dont prejudge something on 3 trips in probably around 14 years? Pay attention to the good that comes from churches and organized religion. It far outweighs the negative that is portrayed in the media and the theatres.
