    I was raised a Christian, sent to a Catholic school and grown up surrounded by Catholicism.

    I do not believe there is/ever has been a "God". I do agree with many of the teachings and life-lessons in the bible. Although some of them are truly out-dated and others I completely disagree with. (Discrimination against homosexuals being one of the few).

    People need to accept the bible for what it is. A story book. A book filled with tales, just like the ones our parents told us as children. While the events didn't necessarily take place (or maybe did, in a less exaggerated form) they are there to teach us a lesson.

    These lessons I believe are very real. The existence of an actual "God", not so much. Due to my disbelief in his existence, I don't see how it would be possible to prove it.

    ^^^ another reason i dont like religion, 90% try to force it onto others, thanks for sharing your opinion p1ng

    i can see that because of what it is, there are probably some good lessons to be learned, but due to the majority focus of the text, i'm never going to go near it

    Every person is entitled to their own beliefs. Just because you feel this way doesn't mean the world needs to feel the same and people 'need to accept the bible for what it is'.

    Also, do you really need proof to believe in something? A lot of great scientists were strong believers e.g. Albert Einstein.
    What I'm saying is all the scientific proof contradicting itself with the bible and unrevealed mysteries didn't stop these people from believing in God or hinder their research.
    When it comes to my personal beliefs I believe in the concept of evolution, but I still consider myself Christian.

    I believe what p1ng had to say its impossible to even say there is a god or after-life because before our universe was created time did not exist, I was raised on being a catholic as well and all I got from the bible was a set of rules that essentially keep humans with standards of living, keeping us from being animals towards each-other.

    I don't remember where I watched this but some a very interesting documentary with some of the smartest scientist to existence they explained how everything was created from nothing, and nothing was created from everything therefore there is no god and never needed a god to create anything.

    But honestly who cares if one exists or not you were given the chance to live life, whether it does exist after death or not enjoy what you have and don't dwell on things that don't matter.

    If the question was finally solved what would it even prove for us?

    Yeah, threads like these never go anywhere.

    I've had multiple discussions on this topic with friends, while having a nice beer. People expect me to not know anything about Christianity because I'm an Athiest. However, I was born and raised as a stout southern Baptist. I just couldn't take it anymore when I got older.

    Argued with a kid about this, but mine went a little different. (I'm athiest)

    //After many minutes of argueing, here's the fun part.
    Me: Dude, how can you prove the Bible's true?
    Him: Because I read it.
    Me: That doesn't make it true.
    Him: Yes it does! The Bible told me it does!

    I ended it there, and let him have this one.

    I am a believer, but I respect everyone's opinion. People who force their own beliefs on others leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I choose faith, but I guess we'll see who wins this argument in our end days, now won't we?
