progressive christianity

[:Hazel]

that all seems a very generalised religion/following to me :S

People have faith in some theories like gravity and water being H20, but without evidence nothing is right or wrong.

That has got to be the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. Of course water is H2O. Scientists have seen Oxygen molecules and they have seen Hydrogen molecules so they can easily see that water comprises two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. However God has never been seen by anyone who can be taken seriously. I'm not even going to go into the fact that you think gravity is a theory because it's just moronic.

Until actual proof is found that supports that God is real (and not some 1000 year old book or the old line that 'The earth is so amazing that someone must have designed it') I will not believe it.

No, thats just a load of rubbish they feed you to convince you of that fact, you yourself dont even belive it because it makes no sence.

Even to have faith you need a reason. Your reason is because people, be it your family, friends of just the old book told you to.
Take Tim, hes an invisible floating green dinosaur. Do you believe he exists? Do you have any reason for beliveing or not beliveing? have you even concidered the matter before.
No, because theres no evedence suggesting it, so its a none issue. Just like god is. But if you had faith im Tim, maybe things would be differnt.

no,

none of my family or friends belive (sp?) in god I havn't even read the bible but I do have faith in Gods existence.

I dont belive in god, im not a theist, thus i belive these people are just as delusional as those who take the bible literal. Not quite as completely and utterly stupid, these ones appear to have brains at least, but still deluded. If no evedence suggests somthing, beliveing in it is absured. You may as well belive in invisable pink dinosuars named tim or bob.

i dno, i used to feel the same but im completely changed now. its hard to explain but once you feel god in you you dont need there to be physical proof in his/her/whatevers existance you know that what you can feel inside you is strong enough to convince you at least. i know this post is gonna get me bare flamed, but anyone else with faith will back me up, im sure.

I don't know why but I would feel very deceived if I was Jesus and my followers started believing things from other religions.
I agree with all of them points, except for the third.
Interesting, though.

its not really that, more that we cant prove/disprove any other world religion more so than we can with christianity and many of them do contain true teachings etc. so we choose not to close them off; but we still follow the teachings of jesus christ.

To be honest,

I don't know.. I don't think anyone knows the truth, its whatever you believe, and everyone should respect what others believe whether or not they think they are right or wrong

Personally, I don't believe in anything.. I think we die, and rot in the ground.. just like any other creature does.

heh, many progressive christians dont believe in an afterlife and many accept noone fully knows the truth. you pretty much just agreed with it.

I'm a Catholic and don't feel the need to be an evangelist or prostitute or w.e. and I'm certainly not believing in the 3432 gods that other religions have.

i was brought up a catholic but it annoys me how much organized religion adds extras onto the basic concept of god. noones asking you to believe in any other gods, all it says is that other religions can contain truth too, whether they be in its teachings, commandments or whatever. just because it isnt christianity you shouldnt shut yourself away from it and write it off =/

Of course I believe in scientific laws, they can be considered proof of some kind of creator. Scientific theories are all about which label stick, not facts. When the big bang was first suggested it was rejected by scientists and the general public but accepted by the Pope and the Catholic community. And just for the record, water is a substance formed from H2O and many other elements, not H2O itself.

If we're talking about pure water, what else are you going to find in there?

[YoManGo!]

pope's sweat or something

Ions and salt or something similar. HOH is the mere component.

HOH is just another expression of the formula, it is no different to H2O

Salt? That would make it salt water... If we're talking pure water then H2O molecules is all you'd have.
You're right though about normal (tap, bottled etc) water, there are other bits.

Anyway, going a bit off topic here
