    What do you guys believe?

    I haven't read any of them, but I don't doubt that. I know there are lots of atheists with superiority complexes, who just want to tell you all how silly your ridiculous belief are. On the contrary, I've found that your world view is consistent and rational, and that generally you have good...

    What do you guys believe?

    No, no offence taken. I'm finding there's a very fine line (that I may have crossed) between pointing out where my opinions differ from yours and flatly arguing against yours. I am simply looking for information, and not an arguement. Perhaps a debate at the very most. Well, sounds like you...

    Razeontherock, thanks very much. Your posts have been very patient and insightful. It's greatly appreciated. Wow, okay. That would be pretty amazing. I know you said it's too much to take on right now, but I want to press you on this. If the bible mentioned things that couldn't have been known...

    What do you guys believe?

    Sir Wiltshire, I appreciate the links and information, but I'm not really interested in debating the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. I'm not a historian, I'm not familiar with the texts; I'm not in any way qualified to argue one way or the other. I have to defer to the experts...

    What do you guys believe?

    Yeah, I know. When I first posted here I knew very little about christianity, but now that I've learned more my attitude has changed. I was spiritually neutral because I knew nothing about spirituality, but I never claimed I would remain that way. I wanted to learn. I've learned a lot of things...

    What do you guys believe?

    Hmm, well that's unfortunate. I don't think I'm likely to ever be a christian then. First, I wouldn't want my morals, goals or work ethic to change as I feel I am already a moral person who works hard and has noble goals. But I'm most deeply troubled by the idea of tenets that simply aren't...

    What do you guys believe?

    I appreciate that. I've certainly had that feeling of reading very old writing and being amazed how relevant it can be in today's world. I remember reading Euclid's Elements, for example, and marvelling at the simplicity and power of his geometric arguements. Similarly for the ideas of socrates...

    What do you guys believe?

    Alright, wonderful. We're on the same page there. So I guess my next question is, since the concept of god is obviously more meaningful to you than the simple renaming of other concepts, what DO you mean by god. Is this concept something you can explain to me, or is it simply a feeling that I...

    What do you guys believe?

    Thanks folks, that's a good start. I'll see if I can respond to some of your comments. Well, you can certainly count me among the latter. I'm very happy and content with my life. I feel as complete and as at peace as I could imagine, and I'm not seeking god or anything else to fill a role in my...

    What do you guys believe?

    Thanks very much for the replies. I'm sure it's just because of the extent of my ignorance, but I have to admit I'm not sure I understand your responses very well. Sorry, I really am a total beginner here. Perhaps I should have provided a little background. razeontherock, I appreciate your...

    What do you guys believe?

    Hello all, I'm a new member to this forum. I just joined up because I've never really been exposed to much religion of any sort, and I was wondering what it was all about. I want to be more informed, and learn what religion does for you, and what you think I could be missing out on by not being...
