Atheists have faith there is no God. Ironic huh?

It's good to be steadfast in your beliefs and I'm not attacking you or Catholics but it's also good to keep an open mind to the possibility of falsehoods in one's religion so you can recognize it and either work to get it corrected or move to another religion that you can't find those falsehoods in, ie, if your religion teaches something that is obviously against your God's word.

I think he is saying that you should keep an open mind about your religion in case someone tries to teach you something that is not in alignment with God's word. That way you can correct it or move on. I made sense of his post by changing the word religion to denomination. I don't think he was advocating going from Christianity to Islam. I think it was more going Southern Baptist to Methodist or something along those lines.

An example is a guy I work with talks about the church he goes to and says things that they do that are not authorized by God. He said he doesn't say anything because they have over 1000 members and he isn't one of the leaders. I told him someone needs to speak up and point out the errors. |

Each denomination exists only because they disagree on their interpretation of the bible (i.e. God's word). Not to mention the fact that there are various versions of the bible with different, all be it minor, wording which can alter the interpretation of various verses. Also, each one also adds their own "morals" for lack of a better word, on top of all that, that you're supposed to follow. Christianity didn't exist until after Christ. So, what's wrong with believing in God old school, pre-Christ? Some points because I'm too lazy to type: Quote:

You keep on asking questions like this, and thinking for yourself, and it won't be long before you don't believe in any god and any religion. So far, it seems like you've limited yourself to looking at the different Christian denominations. It's this consideration that's led to your rejection of the various differing Christian denominations. Open your focus up to include all faiths over all time. You'll be an atheist before you know it. |

Of course it's pretty clear that most people either don't grasp... or more likely don't care to grasp... the difference. And no... that was not directed at anybody specific. Just a general observation of being called an atheist (of which I am not) throughout my life when I happen to disagree with somebody. Last edited by RedLS1GTO; 08-14-2014 at 9:46am. |

...and yea, it is amusing when people think they know what I believe and why I believe it better than I know myself. |

My favorite one is that since I don't believe in sin, I must want to go out and kill people or hurt people or do anything I want because a sense of right and wrong could only come from God.
