Does God exist?

Your truth is wrong.

My truth is right.

So - who wins?

tell me your truth.

 

[Noodley]

one word, one faith, one truth.

Well, that's all a bit wrong is it not? How does that explain the same god but different religions?

And the "truth" bit is all wrong....

 

[Jaded]

tell me your truth.

You brought up truth first.

So, you start.

 

[spandex]

the most sensible post yet.

Living in a certain way helps all of us.

However, using that 'certain way' to frighten people, build stupidly big useless structures, enrich a select few, make others strap explosives round them, build an army to go off on a crusade, set off into Africa to convert the heathens, put the fear of the Sky Fairy into people etc. is despicable.

which Certain way can help us all and frighten at the same time?

I do not know of any god or any unaltered wrightings of any religion that tell any of us to go off and kill or be killed. But still Hundreds of millions have died in the name of a god.

i've already said.

its summed up by that famous/infamous bible reference John 3:16

now whats your truth?

 

[striker]

no. there are more fundamental differences than that in my opinion

 

[striker]

No.

okay so some how, once upon a time, there was a caterpillar which got 'munged' into the known universe. glad to get that cleared up

 

[spandex]

Striker how have we gone from god to a caterpillar???

Well, truth implies it is true...

Now I understand why you need god.

You can't understand what I was talking about.

good question. Jaded seemed to think that the primordial mess that the universe was created from was a butterfly that evolved from a caterpillar.

"How about the primordial mess is a bit like a butterfly.

Before the mess it was a caterpillar. Then it all got mashed up and made into a butterfly."

Now i kind of find that hard to believe.

now whats your truth?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."?

So, when your heart stops and your brain dies a few seconds later, god lets you have 42 virgins?

Or have I got that a bit wrong?
