a follower of a religion is kinda like the driver of a car thoughThis is a wonderful thread. I think it is fantastic to have people of other faiths on this forum! It means that we won't get false information about other religions. Think about it, if your car broke down, would you go to a lawyer? If you have a question about a particular religion, it is best to ask the followers of that religion
neither, he'll be deadWell if a non-religious person does not commit any sins and is a good person for his whole life would he be in Hell or Heaven?
I think he meant under the assumption that hell and heaven existed.neither, he'll be dead
thats like saying im a firm believer of the KKK but i do my best to ignore the racismYeah, I'm a firm believer of Christianity and the like, but I think that people are so flawed that important ideals and beliefs get lost in translation and become skewered... for example, everyone is harping on about how the bible does not condone gay love (a passage in Leviticus states that it's 'an abomination'), yet people forget that the old testament also condones rape, bigamy and even states to cast out women who are on their period...
Tldr; I'm Christian but I do my best to ignore the hypocrisies.
Well, good thing I don't support the KKK. I just believe there is a lot of things that are lost in translation when the bible was written and past down.thats like saying im a firm believer of the KKK but i do my best to ignore the racism
+1.I am an agnostic atheist:
I do not personally believe in the existence of a god, nor do I think that satisfactory proof or disproof of his existence can be found.
If gods existence was proven tomorrow, I do not think it would change the way I live my life.
I do not judge people on their religions, but I do sometime judge people one what they do in life and justify with their religion.
I think there are a pretty universal set of morals that it would be nice if people had, but at the end of the day people should just do what makes them happy.
Yeah, it's odd. Not too representative of Australia as a whole and you'd imagine there would be more Atheists (or religions besides Christianity) among the people who frequent this site.I'm actually quite surprised this many BoSers over the years have been Christian!
