Yes, blind faith. It is based on a belief not factual proof and therefore is blind.
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- Ouch...no not blind faith.
Blind faith is still real faith.
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- You need to have real faith.
The Bible is a book, and life and the universe have alternative explanations. It is not proof, because it is not based on provable facts. Only belief.
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- The Bible is proof. Life is proof. The entire universe is proof.
Then why not prove his existence to everyone, instead of just those who believe?
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- God can speak to everyone.
It's the same deal as I said earlier (I think it was in another thread): those who believe in fairies are the only ones who see them. Those who believe in God are the only ones who "talk" to him.
Why? Well, the human brain is an amazing thing.
If you repent your sins and are forgiven you go to Heaven no matter what your crime.
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- In being a murder and finding God you will be judged differently on how you were.
What happened to "we're all God's children and we are all equal"?
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- A person who devoted his live to God would have a 'Higher position' more rather. Kind of like different sections.
I never said you couldn't being a good person.
- XSilentlyCriedTearsX:
- Yes you can still be a good person and not believe in God that is your decision I have nothing wrong with the way people believe.
What I'm saying, that if somone is a good person, who has done little to no wrong in their life, they will still go to Hell for not believing in God.
You can dedicate your life to helping others, raise money for charity and go live in Africa and save starving children, but you'd still go to Hell if you were not Christian.
A persons morality seems to play no part in what God cares about. It's basically "believe in me and I'll let you in, if you don't it's off to Hell. :coffee:"
It just screams "narcissist" to me.
