ut you have to choose something and believe in something

Why?

Quote:
3.I do believe he created it, because it had to appear here somehow, and NOT BY ITSELF, because EVERY SINGLE MATERIAL THING was created by something or someone! God is not BEING, he's a... "force". I don't know how else to call that. I mean, every "being" is material thing, and God is not. And I can know it was created by him because there's no other explanation how everything became. If he is evil, we wouldn't have the lives. We wouldn't be created at all. We couldn't choose between the good and bad path in our lives. ANYTHING.


Well we don't know is there a beginning or an end but our logic just gives us the idea that it has to be that way.
Theres no other explanation? There are hundreds of theories both religional and scientifical.
And do we really choose between good and bad paths? if so you wuld also say there is only one true morale. So then you also say other religions and cultures may be wrong in their morales just as yours.
And then we come to what good and evil really are? Why does god know it? Is our morale based on the fact thatif god is bigger and stronger and he can punish us the right thing to do is what he says. That is the morale thinking of a child (at least some psychological theories think that way.)

Quote:
On Bible? Well... Logically thinking, there's no other explanation of the world we live in, so I think it's true

isn't this another proof that people take just what they are given.
Bible may ben important cultural book but it is also full of superstition pure crap and lies and none of you follow it's commands word by word since it is not the source of our morale.
There are thousands of holy books out there and there are other explanations out there. Each religion and mythology has it's own. Scandinavian people used to belive that people were created from the sweat of giants and they had just as much proofs as christians do.

Quote:
Because the other religions haven't got PROOFS but we have.. We have angels, saints and more other HOLY

You don't have the proofs greeks had. They had minotaurs centaurs satyrs and mythical heroes blessed by olympian gods. How is that different. They even knew the exact location of their gods.
Other religions have just as much proofs. Buddha for example was enlightened and saw beyond this world is that not a proof? For me it is not any more of a proof than christian ones.

I wasn't saying god is for those but religion overall.
Why do you need holy books with hundereds of pages of how should you live and explanations of supernatural.


The Holy books, are the History of our religion. They don't say to you how to live and they don't explain the supernatural things that you can't explain... Is your choice how to live... This is the difference of christian religion from the others... In my religion, none obligate you to do something... It's your choice....

Because you have started this, and surely I will say a different opinion than yours....

The God never punish someone.... He just judge him by his actions... And if you don't know something, DON'T TALK.. Just say your opinion and nothing else more....

I just watched a great document about dreams. Do you even know what happens during your dreams?
It is more of a simulator.

I have seen many people in my dreams but that doesn't make me belive my dreams had a meaning.

Could someone summarize the points made in this topic? I'm not in the mood of reading a novel.

No, the greek mythology is only a MYTH... I am greek!! And I know better than you! The Gods of Mythology (Zeus, Ira, Apollon and more..) are only a MYTH...

The most times, the dreams are not true... But sometimes, maybe they are a kind of warning... And sometimes they are absolutely real!

That shows, that you read a wrong bible.... The God is not a PUNISHER... But a GOOD POWERFULL FORCE, who helps and judge absolutly right and without evil....

First, you DON'T HAVE TO. I don't agree about this "you have to" part. Believe in whatever you want, but I'll still claim that what I believe in is true. But this other part with the prayer isn't crazy. You have to pray from your heart, truly believing in God and his powers, so your prayer will work. And you have to pray for something you really need, or how else should I say that. When "the prayer works" as you said, it is thanks to God. The miracle couldn't happen by itself. And when it doesn't work, there's always a reason.
Speaking of "the whole existence", WHO THE HELL YOU THINK MADE THAT "EXISTANCE" IF NOT A PERFECT AND ABSOLUTELY GOOD GOD?! How can that be a logical fact? How did everything appear once, in your opinion? Who made us, Earth, universe?! And now you say that idea of God breaks the existence. It holds it, it doesn't break it.


In my quote (whoever it was from) it was said you have to thats what I quoted.

It was from omonoia 1948, and I said I don't really agree. ;)

Heart just pumps blood. And if this has something to do with emotion then how about those whose brains underfunction in emptions? are they condemned never to pray succesfully?
If this god is absolutely good then why does it have us crawling and praying for its help. If he would be be absolutely good and allpowerful he would help without us asking him to.
Your idea of praying just reminds me of begging.

God makes us praying for his help to be sure we still believe in his powers. Why would HE help someone who doesn't believe in him? I wouldn't help my enemy.

Then we have this legendary mind game.

I god is both allpowerful and absolutely good then why is there pain?
If he is absolutely good he would have created aworld without it and if he is allpowerful he could have done it.

Our world is not perfect so why would there be a creator who would be.

And then we have the classic "can god create a rock so heavy he can't lift it?"

Hehe... I see that you haven't read the Bible and haven't much knowing about the religion. At first, God DID make a perfect world. First humans were Adam and Eva. They were immortal, they were practically living in Heaven. And they were allowed to do anything except to eat from one tree. God used that to see if they really believe in him. But once, the devil shaped like snake came and told Eva that God is cheating them, and that they'll become Gods themselves if they eat an apple from that tree. Eva trusted him. They took an apple. God saw that they trust the devil more than him and banished them from heaven. They became mortal, they learned what pain is. Because of that first sin. So, the world was supposed to be perfect, but human kind wasn't strong enough to stick to what they believed in.

Scientists have dozens of theories and ven the big bang theory has critics.
But I trust their theories a lot more than the ones people have been told since those re the ones history has proved to eventually end up being wrong.

Actually it is a fact that the world will end up being one single mass. (This is from our physics class) That is since entropy is always trying to decrease and life on earth has very high entropy level.

I would like you to answer one single question... Where did that mass come from? Let's forget the Christians' theory for a moment-the one where the God created the world in seven days. Let's take some of you scientific theories. Everything that exists right now became from SOMETHING. Now, from what did that something come from? For example, the big bang theory. Who made that what banged than?

Differences between religion and science excist and they are big, but I, with my philosophy, can see some connections. Speaking of aliens and God, if aliens excist, they can be made only by God, just like us humans. They would be...Ehh, how should I say... Some other sort of humans. Material beings that live and die, just like us. And God is... a kind of supernatural power (a bad term for that, I know, but...), he isn't material thing like everything we can see around us, so it's only possible that he made all this. And everything couldn't have appeared by itself!


So you are a dualist.
You believe there are two separate substances and you agree with Descartes as you think there is material and Spirit.
The problem of his theory was that those two substances are too different to actually be in contact or to have an impact on oneanother.

Of course they are very different, that's why there are more than one religion and more than one opinion about the beginning of everything! But there's got to be SOMETHING... Look, our brain controls our every move and our every thought. But since the brain is also just one material thing, just like this computer I'm sitting in front of, there's got to be SOMETHING that controls that brain! And that something we can't see. So it certainly isn't anything material. This is the biggest reason why I believe in God. Because something must control everything and something must've created everything.

You must confess that you don't have enough arguments to prove that your theory is the right one, because, first of all, how did you come here? How did this Earth come to this space? How did the whole Universe come here, to something that we could call "existence"? You've probably noticed that everything on the world has it's start, just like it's end. How did all this start? Who made all of this if not God?


That is exactly what I am trying say about the difference of philosophy and religion.
I don't have to know an answer to our problems but I can't just make one up.

The point in this however is that whatever might be the answer at least we know for sure what it isn't.

I am not trying to say I am right and I have the answers. I am just saying there is a chance no one still has any answers.

But than what do we know that ISN'T?

And, what do you mean by this "I just care what do you think about things and more importantly HOW do you think."? Is there something wrong with our way of thinking?


No I am just trying to keep you calm since really I don't want this to be a fight but a converstaion and in this kind of personal area as religion the borderline is easily crossed.
(and even though I might be an annoying idiot speaking rubbish I will always be your hammerfall forum member discussing great music with you guys ;) )

I think I'm quite calm. :| Neither do I want this to be a fight. And you're not an annoying idiot speaking rubbish, I enjoy this: saying my theories and listening to yours, considering and comparing those two! :D

God must be good, because he made me, you, Earth, LIFE. You probably wouldn't be here if he wasn't good. And he must be powerful if he was able to make it all. So, what are your arguments to prove opposite?


I already brought out a few points about this.
But why is he good?
Why couldn't we be created by a demon that betrays us and wants to watch us suffer?

Because we were all supposed to have a perfect life, but the same WE ruined that first idea. ;)
