And what makes us human? How do we know to distinguish from wrong and right? Where did we get these morals? Morality is a social construct. |

I just have some questions about evolution. How does the "big bang" occur out of nothing? Some might say that some materials existed before the big bang, but if you keep going back and back and back eventually you have to start from scratch. Am I right? No matter what, there has to be a beginning. Where does this beginning start? How can we create a big bang out of nothing? No chemicals in the air, NOTHING! This is the thing that makes no sense to me. who gives a fuck |

but my point was that based off the 10 commandments, you, me and everyone else in life is guilty and falls short. because of this there's jesus and he took the blame for all of everyone's sins. thats all. not gonna force you to do anything, just giving you my perspective so how do you explain there being various derivatives of Cathlocism, which is the "right one"? Why is it that to speak to God I need to be in Church? Why do I need a priest to confess my sins? I believe in God, I believe in an "unknown" being that is ever present. I believe that God is everywhere but I also believe the Church is the biggest sack of shit there is. Explain to me how the Vatican has more poor people per capita than anywhere in the world yet the Vatican is also home to some of the richest statues monuments etc? Doesn't make much sense to me. |

See you're pointing out flaws in catholicism, which I actually agree with. I don't find it right that in catholicism you NEED to confess to a priest. That doesn't make sense. Why should we confess to another man who is also imperfect........ And yes the Vatican and other churches have been known to take money.....It is completely wrong, but.....it is a flaw of humans. It's not God who is taking people's offering money they give and then using it to buy fancy things. People in the church are doing that. They're wrong. If they listened to what God said it wouldn't be happening You don't need to be in Church to speak to God. Prayer is how we talk to God. You can pray anytime, anywhere. Whether you're in a group or by yourself, whether it's outloud or in your head. You can pray about anything really......Most people however see God as a genie and just ask him for things. That's not what God is about. God is about having a relationship with you and not just talking with you when you want things. |

As to there being different denominations.....ie catholicism, baptist, presbyterian etc......They were formed by different people who liked to worship in different ways......catholicism is much older and much more into rituals and stuff like that.....baptists are much more free and open. Pentacostal churches are EXTREMELY free and open and presbyterians are very straight tie old school kind of feel to it. None are necessarily right or wrong they just are different.....The main thing is that God is in all of them

Especially didn't like others that tried to push their religion on others. Respectfully, or not. But obviously dislike the latter more. I don't try and push, just let people know where I'm coming from.......But put it like this. If you had the cure for AIDS and you thought you could save people's lives by giving it to them would you just keep it to yourself and would you try and get it out there and share so that everyone could be saved? Thats how people should be with their religion. If they feel like it's the purpose for life and that eternal life is at stake they would be selfish and a bad friend NOT to share it..........That being said there are good ways and bad ways to go about it. Jumping and shouting "you're going to hell" and crap like that is not what anyone should be doing |

I believe in God.
I don't believe in the Church.
That doesn't mean I hate the church or anything. I just think Catholicism can go a bit overboard sometimes
