*laughs her ass off!* [/quote] For some odd reason the quote isnt working in your posts. I think I know what's happening however, if you are typing where it says "Edit Post To Be Quoted" please do not do that, it screws up the quotation code I believe and leaves the quote area to be a jumbled mess that doesn't look the way it should.
I didnt do that though.... its probably my computer.... its a piece of crap Sorry about the quotation thing though.
I like your theory Pyro. I agree with yours the most so far. Mine's the strangest out of anyones I think. I like to think beyond everything until it turns out so strange it's actually believable.
*too lazy to read everybody's posts except anya's* Well, i think of i 2 ways: 1) Ever hear of the game 'Black&White'? Its very similar to life, there's 2 creatures, one's good (god), other is evil (satin). I havent played the game yet (even thou i own it) but basically its 2 creatures (aka gods), are controlling the earth or w/e it is and saving the world (good), or making complete mayhem of it (evil). [well, that's what i heard its like]. 2) Nothing controls us, we're at free will till we die. [now that we got that over lets continue]. Outside of our universe is undiscovered currently but there's possibily a infinite number of universes and in each universe there's a earth, mars, sun, uranus, saturn, pluto, etc. [i dont know my planets very well..heh]. Somewhere - we dont know where - is a heaven and a hell. In the bible it says that ur transported to heaven/hell in a blink of the eye [or something like that] where they are, is unknown like i said. Life = very, very, very complicated.
Anyway, this is pretty deep. I try not to think too much about things like this because it gets me all depressed. Obviously I believe in God so I don't think anyone's controlling us. If we were given free will, then we must be responsible for our own actions. Nobody decides for things to happen to us apart from ourselves. As for the universe thing, we're too insignificant to ever know what's beyond our planet. The universe = infinity. As of now, there is no end and there is no beginning. It's been expanding ever since it came into existence. As for how the universe came to exist, I wouldn't want to think about it because my brain is aching.
God doesn't exist and He didn't create the universe. Religion, such as Christianity, is just like the ancient Greek myths. Everyone then made those stories up to explain things that they couldn't otherwise explain, such as rainstorms or floods. Soon after Greek myths went away, Christianity came about. It's the same concept. It's just that Christianity caught on more for some reason. None of it's real and I'd like you religious folk to prove to me, without using a book or saying "it's what I believe in," that this "God" exist. He didn't exist, and neither did Jesus; just like Zeus never existed and Heracles never existed. -edit- In other words: The Greek and Roman myths are much like religions. They were security blankets. The myths and stories were there so the people could explain how certain things happened. Religion is much the same way. They needed to figure out a way to explain why we're on the planet, so they made up a divine entity that created us. None of it's real. It's all just a security blanket for people who don't want to believe in what's real to hide under. Simple as that.
Amazing opinion Will. I know it might spark a heavy debate but I have to say I respected what you said a lot.
I agree with most everything you said, I'm not religious, quite the opposite actually. Despite this, there is substantial proof that Jesus existed, though his life is most definately dramatized in the Bible. But it is incorrect to say that he didn't exist, I believe its been proven. I don't believe in God, or heaven and hell. I see religion as a tool. It has been used to inspire people to 'fight for their country because God's on their side!' (while god is on every other person's side at the same time interestingly enough). Its also been used as a scapegoat. I cannot stand it when people talk about fate. "I was fated to fail that test", "such and such a person was fated to die". BULLSH*T. People make decisions, whether you like it or not, and lives change accordingly. If there is a God, then I would like nothing more than to punch him square in the nose. Remember this quote, "with great power comes great responsibility". God's seriously f'd up his job in my opinion if he exists. How can he justify letting some innocent people die and let others live. Religion is used as a means for people to not take responsibility for their actions.
Well, I just don't think he existed. He might've existed, but I honestly don't think so. Sure, they have that shroud thing, but that could've been anybody buried underneath it, you know? They don't have an fossils or anything to prove that he existed. So, until they have concrete, solid proof that they can shoot me in the face with, I won't believe he existed. Just like I won't believe that that Moses fella lived to be, what? 900 years old?

Link04; YAY I thought I was alone lol Thank god. I feel bad for everyone on here....... God.... I don't really know what to say but, I didn't believe in God, But man serisouly..... how could you believe in love and not think God exsists? Jeez...... You kids must have a really tortured life because you all sound really, really desperate for hope.... And Will, God I would hate to have your point of view. No wonder our generation is on Prozac man. No matter what anyone thinks, there HAS to be someone or something else out there that created al this amazing life has. You can't honestly live and love and be loved and not have any faith for anything but your little scientific theries. It's really f@#$ed up that you can love someone and only believe in that chemical ####. I'm not saying I'm into religion, but I do to church. I'm not a bible hugger because I don't believe in the bible, just so you don't jump the gun and assume I only have my believes to have a safety blanket. Don't over analize everything to make your self sound superior and find your hope dude.
im don't know why where here and all of those things but i dont go around fussing over religion and going to heaven and so on because i believe in living for today not tomorow what is the point of being on earth if there is some place better and i dont get how there could be such thing as heaven or hell. And there is so many religions which one is right? or is it that if you believe in it , it will happen? does that mean i'll become a ghost because im not religous and have a place to go after death? and i believe in aliens hehe i think that somewhere so far away in space that it would take thousands of years to get there so its too far away to get to (won't be able to have enough feul to last for that long) there is another would like this one. and one day id like to explore the bermuda triangle

In fact its quite the opposite. I get the impression that many religious people think that those who are 'disbelievers' are always in this state of confusion, searching for the 'answers' to the 'bigger questions' that 'clearly God is the answer to'. Well, sorry to dissapoint you but that's not the case at all, at least not with me. I don't lead any more confused a life than the next guy and I sure as hell don't think I'm tortured. (Unless I have someone hell bent on converting me to x religion, not that anyones done that here). Love is an emotion, it has evolved from the basic instincts of creatures to desire companionship. Very few animals prefer to survive alone, humans have simply given this desire a title and made it formal. It has nothing to do with God, the church simply decided they'd take over the whole marriage thing because 'clearly that is something God made'. Emotions come from instincts, instincts develop from needs of a creature from their environment. A human needs oxygen to live, so we breathe instinctively. There is no mystical force that allows me to breathe, just as there is no mystical force that allows me to love. So yes I can "honestly live and love and be loved and not have any faith for anything but your little scientific theries" Oh, but I guess I'm wrong since "It's really f@#$ed up that you can love someone and only believe in that chemical ####." I think I'll go pray to Venus since I can't have love without religious beliefs, OH WAIT, Venus isn't a REAL God, only ours is, I forgot.
