Yes, we are far off this answers, but if you do not lookfor them, you will be forever a caveman trying to understand why the sky is blue.

Why speak of 'him' in terms of gender?


There is a common liguistic predominance in there.also, I most commonly remmember the image of god as an old man giving life to Adam.If you want to call "it" just call "it".

In fact, we're all idiots. We're destroying the world and all while all of us will have to suffer.


Off-topic answer:Idiots, but some hell smart idiots in fact.Sad people forget their smart part and leave just the idiot.

But, be warned:We are not destroying the world, it can pretty much destroy itself without us.We are only destroying humanity itself and other species(Nature won't die, it will just adapt new ones).

Humanity should be able to communicate with other species, that could be the solution for humankind giant ego.

I, personally call God a male because Jesus was a male and if Jesus and God are the same thing, that would make God him, right?

Earth is incredible because it's liveable, and what we are doing is taking that away... Nature is strong, and it will last longer than us... But it depends on the liveable thingy. So if we take that away, we'll be killing a great master piece...Burning the perfect book.

I do believe in God. I mean, there's got to be something. And christianity is the one who makes more sense (not the roman catholic christianity. At least not now.) What I see in other religions is idolizying a figure who they don't even know of... Difference between the protestant christianity from most of the other religions is that they 'know' their god.
The most common thing I hear is: "*annoying stupid arrogant voice* If God exist why is there so many bad things happening in the world?".

(I'll try and answer it in a philosofic [wharever] way, xD)
Humans are idiots.They kill a man and ask why didn't God revive him.

note: please don't take this as slandering Christianity.

No offence dude, but don't try to make points off of facts you know nothing about. Most US Christians are incredibly ignorant of other religions. I believe in part portions of every one are true (for example, there may have been a flood-like event, but not where the whole world was engulfed, and plus there was definetly no Ark. How the heck can an ark hold ALL the species of the planets?)

You don't know your God (at least I think). You call your God, God. WTF? The Bible, I think, just says stuff about what happened and what to do. Hinduism has many gods, more believable in my opinion, and they each have distinct personalities. Jews have some god, not familiar with them. Muslims have Allah.

ALSO: I hate that people slander Muslim, America is a rascist, hypocritical, messed up country so I blame them for altering the peoples views. It also glorifies Christianity when the US is supposed to be a state where all are EQUAL.[/quote]

I agree with you! But I think you meant the American Government not America as a whole. ;)

I love how some American people on Facebook view me as an evil communist spy ready to kill any Tibetan I see on the street. :roll:

Yes, America as in the US.

I feel that America's educational system sucks also. It makes you feel like Communism is evil (though I actually like it, think it has the best ideals out of all forms of government, but is probably very difficult to pull off. i probably blame the bad view due to its history with Stalin and because its the enemy of the hippocritical US). Anyway, the educational systems don't tell us everything from the Communists point of view, for example, in my textbook it said "and so that democracy triumped over Communism." In my thoughts that sounds a little biased and I hate that.

I believe Nature does not depends on the livings forms.Some living forms depend on each other, but if they depended each other to exist, life wouldan't exist at all.

I do not pray to a god, and I think envolving god or any higher form in a discussion regarding things that exist, facts...actually, that pretty much includes every science(Philosophy, as does not need proves is not a science).

Nature does rely on physical variables to create life, but if humans can ultimately destroy it, can be doubted.

The world will never be destroyed, it just changes its forms.

It's a stupid pipe dream that always gets corrupted and ends up becoming a totalitarian dictatorship. It's not difficult to pull off- it's impossible with a society bigger than a few small huts.

I want to say something about Science.
Science is basiclly the search for the truth, However what is truth whose truth is it that you seek??
Are you still with me now if you ask what is the truth about what the universe is made of 100 years ago it would probly be dust and stuff like that now theres words for the dust like dark matter, anti matter, matter and so on.
So you see in the end it's all going to lead up too one thing you can believe in randomness of numbers and a random bigbang you can believe
what the bible tells oyu or like me you can believe maybe god created the big bang maybe science is just the search for god.
Now I'm not saying anythings definate but I do believe in creation.
thus a creator and the bible is basiclly like Humanitys Survival scrolls.

I am a christian and I admit that many people today(especially the US) arn't committed to their religion. They call themselves christians, but I don't believe they are. There are some people out there who actually try to do what they believe God says we are supposed to.

Are you saying that it is impossibleto build a boat that can hold all the animals?

You think it is wierd that we call our god God? There is no other name that can describe him better. What do you think we'd call him? Bob?

Also, you say that you think the Bible is just a lot of stuff that happened and it tell sus what we need to do? That is what it is supposed to be. It's a book of what happened and how someone lived a perfect life and died to forgive us of our sins. It give us many example of what we are supposed to do.

I'm sorry so many people in the US are hypocritical and racist. That is how a lot of people are, but not everyone.

I'm 15 and I've thought of this much, I ain't a scientist or a great person that studies the Bible ,but I've figured this much out. But I know I can't explain every little thing.

Allah is the name of a god of a different religion. I've used Yaweh, Jehova, and many others, but God is what best describes him to us and everyone we try to tell about him to.
