what do you believe?
ifyoucantfixit:
I too believe we are meant to vibrate together. The more people that are like
minded and caring the better the results. Just like more energy makes a better light. That
is what I believe. Maybe prayer or positive thought is the same thing. A transfer of positive
energy. From the person praying, or thinking, good fortune and health for the other. I dont know. But that is how i see it all.
I thank you all for the honest way that you are now telling how you feel..All I know is like Jackie Bissetts character in Latter Days says. "if your religion doesnt accept all kinds
of different things..gays, drinking or any other thing that has merit in this life." (paraphrase) then
I am sure not joining that church. I would rather go to hell with all of you, if that is the real
results, Than live an eternity with those judgmental, hateful, mean spiteful people that
label all of the people i care about as sinners. If thats what being a sinner does for you
. "Bring it on." We can join hands and walk into that fire pit together...........I just dont
happen to believe there is such a thing.. so i dont fear it.

again, i want to thank you all for your honesty. like i've said before, i love hearing what people think about the whole god issue. i was a youth pastor for the christian faith, non-denominational...and i've spent years listening to opinions of non-believers, athiests, agnostics, etc.....and i still find it interesting.
here's another set of questions for you all, and again, this is not at all in any means to try and push anything, this is just a questionaire:
1) is there an absolute truth?
2) is there right and wrong? (if so, what determines that?)
3) is there heaven and hell? (some of you have already answered this)
4) if there is a heaven , does there have to be a hell?
5) if there is a god, does there also have to be a devil?
6) can there be more than one god?....(if you believe in god/gods at all)
again, please know, this is open for personal opinions, and i'm not intending on bantering, or quoting , or whatever....i'm just curious.
if you don't want to answer, please still write on this thread anyways, as understanding where everyone is at 'spiritually' is very insightfull.
thanks
forsythia
"pentecost...i don't know what the pentecost is. my mother never explained it to me. i guess the world ends and guys like me and you march off into hell"

--- End quote ---
1) is there an absolute truth?
There is a universal truth. And this I believe comes from God.
2) is there right and wrong? (if so, what determines that?)
Yes. What determines it? Human conscience.
3) is there heaven and hell? (some of you have already answered this)
There is a Heaven and a Hell. But I believe that Heaven and Hell also exist now in this world. We simply continue on in whatever state (or world) we are presently in when we die.
4) if there is a heaven , does there have to be a hell?
Everything has an opposite. So yes. There must be.
5) if there is a god, does there also have to be a devil?
Once again I believe in opposites. So yes.
6) can there be more than one god?....(if you believe in god/gods at all)
There is only one God.
Maybe these questions were directed at someone else. :D

I just meant I already believe in God. Maybe these questions were for those folks who question his existence. :)
