So they believe there's a God, but don't believe in a heaven/hell? They just think your life on Earth is your only life? I'm a Christian and I believe in the Bible, but I don't disagree with other religions. In fact, what pisses me off is that (in my religion) anyone who doesn't believe that Jesus died on the cross goes to Hell. So Jews would go to hell. It pisses me off because who am I to know which of the many religions is the correct one, if any. I'm only a Christian because I was raised that way. If I was raised Muslim, I'd be Muslim, and probably be that way for my entire life. I believe what the Bible says, but I don't necessarily disagree with anyone else's belief. Even the belief that there is no God.

I was raised to be Christian, yet I'm more agnostic than anything. I really hope there is a god and that I'm wrong though. It isn't plausible, and no matter how I look at it I just can't picture a god.

However if Christianity is right I don't think I could worship that version of God. Hell is one of the most ******ed concepts I've ever heard honestly. Yeah we as human's sin, but that's the way we were made. I also highly doubt the almighty lord with all of his 'wisdom' would send any individual to endure horrible pain for eternity, and if he does then I wouldn't worship him.

The only version of God I've ever seen that was even a little believable was ironically in Futurama, y'know the cartoon?

Christians believe that God is infinitely more wise than us, so our moral, or immoral beliefs can be 100% wrong. I wish hell was for people's actions and lack of remorse, rather than not believing in God/Jesus. But if God does exist (which I believe he does) then who am I to judge the God who can do anything and has established everything I know? Honestly, if you don't think there is a God, you don't want to be wrong... According to Christianity, anyone who doesn't believe will go to hell... I question the religion entirely myself sometimes, or just ponder it, but I always come back to the conclusion that I don't, and won't ever know the answer to my questions. Can you honestly believe that humans have just existed forever, or if you go the science route, that humans were just created, along with all other minerals and life, all from a "Big Bang"? That doesn't seem plausible at all to me. Also why would humans be the only species that has the thought processing capabilities that we do that differentiates us from all other life? For a big bang to happen, there had to be something occurring in what scientists say was nothingness, in order for the pressure to build up enough to cause the big bang... I really hate that scientists go against the whole idea of science (getting facts and data) by coming up with theories that have no basis or even sliver of proof. They should just say they don't know how the start of the universe happened. Not to get too far off topic, but I have the same opinion about their idea for Dinosaurs, because if they became extinct from a meteor, why did all other life forms survive?

Anyways, that's what really bugs me about religion, is there's no proof (besides the Bible, which I don't believe to necessarily be proof, considering each religion has their own Bible that they consider proof) that one religion is the correct one. I just have to take on faith and believe whichever one I believe.

damn dude, can't argue with that

but I hope there is a god (not the christian god though or else a lot of people I know and love, same with most people will be in Hell, including myself and probably you because a lot of things are sins) or at least some form of an afterlife. I can't even imagine not existing.  

Nothing can explain how the existence of everything came to place. Yeah science can explain a lot but something (the big bang) can't possibly happen out of nothing.

I don't feel like any religion is fully right though. You have to keep in mind that religions were created by humans even if they were supposedly guided by god. There is no way of telling that is the truth or not.

There is something special which started the first reaction, that's obvious. We just won't ever find out what it is or who it is in our lives.

Deism fits me I guess?

Christianity doesn't care how much you sin, as long as you repent and believe in God and that Jesus died on the cross. Jesus is the entire reason why our sins don't matter. We need to recognize them and repent for them, but even the Bible describes Jesus talking to a murderer while he's dying on the cross, and he gets that guy to believe in him so he ends up gokmg to heaven.

I can't imagine not existing anymore... But I struggle even more with existing forever. It's just hard to grasp 'forever'...  

Why do people argue over Religion, it is dumb and so is Religion.

Because people have different opinions. You clearly have your own, by calling religion and arguments over it to be dumb.  

The reason it's hard for me to believe in any religion is because of the lies people say to use you or brainwash. Idk if I take these conspiracy to seriously but it doesn't hurt to question religion. I've asked many Christians (since I was raised around them) how can they just believe. They just told me they do because God is great. I hate these types of answers. Anyways recently Ive been finding out there are a lot of fake churches. A pastor was found guilty of using church donations to pay for his house and buy a male prostitute. Can you believe that? How am I supposed to just believe when all this is happening?

You can't expect everything to be perfect. The religion itself has nothing wrong with it, it's the people who use it and abuse it who are wrong. Some terrorist groups claim their actions are for Islam, but they aren't really, and it doesn't mean Islam is wrong just because some people abuse it and use it for their own gain.

It's difficult to believe in religion, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I find it more difficult to believe that there is no greater power that created everything. I can't imagine it was all created from nothing, or has just always existed.

It's more dumb to say religion is dumb... Religion is one's own belief, and your belief is (apparently) that there is no God. That itself is a belief, just like religion.

But... those are your only two options lol
