God or Fact?

[Conservative,]

I have been brought up moderately Christian - I went to Church regularly as a toddler and young child, however other things such as sports took over about the age of 6. Yet, I am do not take Christianity word for word.

Firstly, the Bible to me is not to be taken literally. It is essentially a book of moral rules, right and wrongs, portrayed through stories - true or not, I don't know.

Secondly, I completely support the theory of evolution, it has lots of evidence and has been proved time and again - HOWEVER - this is where my belief comes in.

I believe God started the big bang (after all, how can something come from nothing? I asked my Physics teacher - he said that energy = mass...but where did the energy come from...he couldn't answer). From that point onwards he aided the growth and construction of our Universe and 'oversees' the development of our Universe, and intervenes if/when he needs to.

Whether this theory is correct, I cannot say. Whether God does exist, I cannot say, but I believe in what I have stated above, and therefore, for me, God is real in some form or another. I guess I'll find out when I die.
^ And thats another thing. I can't, and no one can I don't believe, contemplate what happens after death. Atheists believe it is just like a never-ending sleep. But you can't contemplate that. How does life just...end? There must be something after. I don't see how there can't be.

What a load of ******** you just written. We humans see the same colour, unless you're colour blind. They know this more because of Optical illusion. Certian colours need to be just right for illuisons, etc.

I'll believe in science than stories anyday. Saddens me that you will believe in stuff written by MAN thousands of years ago, than science. A lot of stuff is made by science, a lot of stuff is prooven with science. When the bible was made, they didn't know what space was... Oh what they thought the world was flat too?

The bible states the world was made 3000 years ago. Where there is stuff that you don't even need a little science to know that it's been there for million's. Ejyptian's even happened before Christian. And for anyone to choose 1 god out of all the others there are, is even more of a wtf to me.

If I was to ever consider a god, I wouldn't follow a faith. I'd follow my own, to live, to breath, and suvive and make babies for generations. Defintely with all these different types of gods... It's like risking all you got on the lottery.

He said he believed in some kind of 'God', not that he was a full on belief basher? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what they choose to believe in. Please respect that? ;\

Science/History defiantly outweighs the God believed in by Christians for me. It's always nice to have some belief surely and I'm guessing thats why most people choose to believe. It gives them hope that all is not lost when you die and when you are in a time of need, you feel as if God would be listening.

God has a mystical house for you after death? Get off it. It's simply untrue. Just as you were insignificantly born, you will insignificantly die too. There is nothing after death. Explain how the human body decays and yet mystically 'you' are present in his house.
.

I didn't say that, I just said I don't see how life can 'just end'. It may not be a mystical house, but I don't understand how it can finish so quickly never to return.

Humans fear the unknown, it's only natural for you to feel so weak at the thought of death.

Why is everyone so closed minded to the fact that it is unknown and always will be. Manhattan you havn't died or recently had a conversation with the deceased so i am yet to see how you can be sure theres nothing when you die?

Theres a chance there is, Theres a chance there isn't.

Before you ask me to repeat myself, read the post that I made fully explaining what I believe. ^^

Then, once you've taken it all in and understood it, ask me this question again. I don't find it amusing that you're trying to disprove me by simply reading one sentence out of the many that I've posted.

I read and fully understood the theories but they still do not prove or dispove life after death. So once again i ask the question.

Wow, in two minutes, that's very impressive! You're also quite the liar.

The question you're asking me is rhetorical, you insist me giving you a conclusive answer without you making up your mind. That is how I know you didn't read what I posted.

How do you verify verification? That's what you're asking me. I suggest you go do some reading.

I read it the before my first point you stupid idiot i think you'll find there was 16 minutes inbetween your post and mine. I really think you should come of your high horse as you're just making yourself look like a fool.

And you hit the nail on the head finally. You can't answer it, there is no answer, noone knows for shure.

I can't answer it because you're not asking me a question.

You want a conclusion.
