eh, ima jew, im good with religion. secure is what i mean.

aldeja, very good, first commandment. but the most emportent, love everyone like i love you, -Jesus, wwhy? if you cant love someone how can Jesus? or G_D, all the same. G_D never puneshes, he disiplins, love conquers all, and......thats about it, THATS about it.

Very true, like a responsible parent, I do believe the Divine disciplines the wary - but can and has punished the wicked.

On the topic of love I would surmise God is not a complete loving god as we understand the concept, nor do ealier versions on scripture suggest otherwise. I feel he/she/it (although I would guess it takes on masculine form) is benign towards mankind as to not interfere with freewill. I've always entertained the idea that God is very much like nature. As a metaphor, his will it is neither evil nor good for God is both and neither. Nature can in itself be both nurturing and destructive - but even in what we preceive to be destructive there is purpose. God allowed evil to dominate the realm of man, because there is purpose beyond human attempts through scripture or otherwise to contain and make since of. If this were not true he would have stopped Satan and his wrath with a simple wave of his hand, but man is meant to suffer - much of which is wrought by our own hand without interference by either supernatural entity. Man cannot even grasp the concept or emotional ability in our present form to deal with divinities concept of good and evil. I do however, believe God loves us enough to experience the world in our own making and derive our concepts of good and evil through the inspirations/actions of others to include the writings of gifited men and woman that have become scripture and/or teachings throuhout many cultures. Much like a parent teaching his/her children about the world and how to live within it - you can instruct them in the wrongs and rights, but ultmately it is up to your children to become the people you want them to be. To force your will would only complicate matters. you want your children to do right by you on their own - hence why God does the same.

We can never appreciate or understand the concept of peace and prosperity and "love" from Heavens perspective without experiencing or knowing all the facets of evil - whether they happen to us directly or we withness it from afar. God's concept of love can only be achieved by submitting to his will, casting off our preconceptions of love and grasping the true meaning of love in all its splendor through Christ. If you were to ask God why must it be this way, I would imagine we would get the same response as Moses when he attempted to ask the same from the burning bush: "I AM...and where were you when I created the world". Simply put - God's way of saying: "I do not answer to you, however, trust in me that my will be done and no harm will befall you.

Well, if i talk with a christian and i say, there is no god.
He says, well that's not true because in the book says that god exists.

So the last time when i went to talk with that christian people, i took a small book and i wrote in it 'god doesnt exist.'

So when i went to them and i started the discussion they said god exist because its written in the book. I said: Well thats strange because in my book it says he doesnt...

My opinion:

Everything almost every Christian knows about God is derived from the bible. Yet this book was written by humans. Who is to say that some random person didn't write it, pass it to his son, telling him to spread the word of "God" when he died? World's biggest hoax.

Also, God is portrayed as a man in the bible. Jesus describes him as "my father". If God is truely omnipotent, all-powerful, all-seeing, etc. He wouldn't (in my opinion) be described as a man, more as an entity. More-over, the only people to ever think that men should come before women were humans, not God. Anyone seeing a pattern here?

I'm not saying God/Jesus/religion in general is wrong, I'm just saying there isn't enough evidence either way to truely be certain.

Thats beacuse God has no interaciton with humans...none what so ever...so there fore Christians always say "it's written in the bible" so there for it must be "true". God is on very high stool that none of us can see him even if we had a teleascope...

He interacts in small non-definitive ways that do not prove his existence, maintaining a need for faith and the existence of the choice. God is portrayed under the pretense of HE or HIS or other capitalized male pronouns throughout the Bible because "it" is, or at least, was derogatory in many languages for some time. Also, "it" lacks all the possessive and tense cases of he or she and she is not used because culture by default refers to possibly male or female animate beings as male, for example "hey guys" is used when approaching a group of associated people of both male and female gender.

God is neither male not female as he does not biologically reproduce, but he is "the father" or at least apart of him is. God consists of 3 parts: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, all of which are separate from each other, but are all God, like extensions of moods or ideas that can act independently while still remaining apart of one being. The Son- Jesus was male on Earth, he referred to God as father, possibly because his other parent was his mother, and well... the two kind of fit together.
