I would but I don't know where the photo has gone. It was on my grandpas old phone, and he texted it to my old phone, and the photo didn't transfer to either of our new phones.

Me. Had a very unpleasant encounter with someone on here and unfortunately I also didn’t behave in a way that makes me feel proud now. I was just so frustrated....

Guess I missed all that. You would not have been "run off" for your beliefs, though. If there was an unpleasant encounter it might have been more for the unpleasantness and the other person might be gone too. Why don't you come on back and try again?

If man was able to pervert it, then it was never perfect to begin with. Which means god is not perfect.
When I bring my chickens into this world through incubation, I am literally their god. I selected their egg and everything.... anything that goes wrong is my fault. You can’t create something imperfect and then blame the creation - it’s the fault of the creator. I have a chicken that keeps eating eggs and is being a real jerk - but I’m not going to set it on fire and then magically make it so that it doesn’t die and has to burn for all of eternity. He could have made us a perfect paradise (like we strive to do with our chickens), but instead he made up some game that can only be played by drinking the symbolic blood of a 2000 year old god.... bc a woman made out of a rib was convinced by a taking snake to eat from a magical tree? Why couldn’t he just forgive us? Why send a hybrid man/god to the earth to be brutally murdered in the most horrific way imaginable? What standard was god being held to that that was the ONLY way? There’s someone above him making the rules?
That’s folklore - and we don’t need these beliefs anymore now that we know the sun will indeed rise every morning. Now that we know that weather is caused by atmospheric pressure changes and not the angry and vengeful hand of god. Now that we have medicine - we can replace superstition with science and use logic as our guidelines.

THis!! yes!!! exactly!!!

I wonder the same. And lets assume God did create atoms, now I wonder, who created god? And why? How? Where? When? How did God come to be?

That's an awesome question for the prayer warriors thread!

My mind cant wrap around a GOD.. you know.. Like god is just as likely to exist as aliens.

Were not really allowed to understand him all the way, our brains just aren't big enough!

Hi, I am non-religious. I was raised that way. My parents are both atheists, haven't stepped foot in a church. I don't think about it much to be honest, with all the information I know about christianity, I don't believe it.. but i'm not sure if i truly believe in nothing. Maybe there is a different religion out there for me. As for now, undecided! Now, back to work hahah.

I know you weren't talking to me, but I appreciate that. It's all the "You're going to hell unless you are sraight, cisgender, and believe in god" crap that really does stear me farther away from Christianity.

I was told by my own grandmother AND Aunt that I am going to hell for just supporting the LGBTQ+ community. And that's from my own family, and just supporting, not even being part of it, it's scary to think what people who aren't related, or don't know me think. Or what they'd say if I did happen to be part of the community.

People can be so quick to judge, eh? And yet our God tells us that's not our job. I'm so sorry. I'm really getting a clearer picture of why y'all have turned your backs on Christianity! I just wish you could understand how "bad Christianity" has done a horrible job of representing God, because if you knew Him as He really is, I don't think you'd turn your backs on Him. A lot of you wouldn't, anyway.
