I have finally put my life in the hands of the Lord

[jcribb16]

i am happy to see you you put your life in the hands of the Lord.

Why, were you religious adherents running low on superstitious and faith-blinded cohorts?

Why would that bother you?

Now, that's sarcasm.  Well-played.

So why is that christians can not even decide amongst each other on specifics and have so many denominations? (Cathlic, Protestan, Lutheran, Morman, to name but a few) And what about the missing books from the bible? There are clearly chapters (or gospels) missing, why is that? Something the old church did not want the general public to know? At any rate its missing.

And what about the MAJORITY of the world that is not christian, but rather muslim jewish budist, ect. Are they all screwed eternaly, most of them because they were brought up in a different part of the world and were taught differently? If you think most people are christian you are wrong, look it up. Christians vs the rest of religion and those without religion, christianity is far out numbered.

So someone who rapes and murders can repent and get into heaven, but someone who does nothing worse then some non violent sins will be cast to hell for not beleiving?

Why is one of the 10 commandments saying 'the lords' name in vain (as in, saying his name with a bad additude, like 'goddamnit that sucks' or in surprise, like jesus christ that scared me. BUT RAPE is not a commandment, as long as the one getting raped is not married to someone else(cuz that would be adultery)

If every man is a sinner and the bible was writen by men...

How do you explain Noahs Arc? Really? No one else had a boat? He got 2 of every animal, which are spread out over the entire planet? Alot of animals EAT other animals, what did they eat on that boat, if not each other? This is but one of MANY illogical tellings of the bible.

Fear of eternal damnation in the fiery pits of hell is a strong recruitment tool, especialy for the young, dont you think? Especially when the other alternative given is eternaly happiness and bliss in heaven.. Im sure some people have the better safe then sorry mindset.

Sorry just read through some things on this post and wanted to give my opinion, althought I fully expect that the only response to my post will be along the lines of blind faith, believing anyways, and no real answers to the clear lack of all logic.
However, you are entitled to your own believes and views, and so am I, these are just some of mine on the subject.

On the contrary, it's unfortunate when someone opts for irrational religious self-deceptions rather than a rational thinking and logical reasoning basis.

"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."

If he isn't real I don't want to find out because the joy that I am feeling is amazing, my life is so amazing now that I listen and follow what God guides me to do.  Maybe I'm crazy for hearing and talking to God, but if this is crazy than crazy is just fine with me

why would anyone believe in someone that is not real. just watch the video on youtube called"the greatest story never told". this is a true story

That's how it begins, slowly; then the religious adherents believe they can 'justify' any other kind of "crazy" behaviour, like crusades or inquisitions or witch hunts or cultural assimulation plagiarisms, or flying aircraft into buildings.

Your opinion and questions are relevant and it's 'curious' as to why no religious adherent has answered any of the valid points you've raised.

You know, I have wondered about most of the same things you mentioned in your post here. How can people who say they believe in God prove that these things really did happen? If so, why don't these 'miraculous situations' happen today? I would like to know.
