    Why is it the more educated I become, the more i drift away from religion?

    And the arguments on other forums aren't going to be one-sided? The debate here is around education, and I'm not sure if you were paying attention at all, but a lot of people here have testified to their being educated and returning to spiritual relationship with God and Jesus, because they...

    The "judgment" challenge!!

    I agree with this. The fear and trembling bit doesn't necessarily mean being afraid of being "zapped" - more like respect for God and his supreme justice. I think that even by thinking we are able to use our earthly intellect to uncover God's designs in the Bible, we are fooling ourselves and...

    Liberal Theology at it's most basic level

    In my personal experience, literalism has never been a good thing. Taking the Bible as the only source of information from God can often frustrate a genuine desire to learn spiritually. Thus, fundamentalism seems to me like nothing more than a paranoid and egotistical way of defending one's...

    Hey karenmarie - Thanks for your comments. while I appreciate that we as Christians need to look to God's Word for our ultimate source of guidance, I really think this needs to be coupled with sensitivity to each person's individual situation. If I can explain what I mean... I was with the...

    why do people believe in things?

    Hey Jarrod - I hear you, many people just hide away. But I would argue that just as many people use the no God concept as an excuse to hide underneath a hedonistic lifestyle, which is also just escapism. Neither of the above views (God concept vs. no God) will prevent your friends from dying...

    Why did God make it so confusing to find the right church?

    I think seebs hits the nail on the head. I attended the Jehovah's Witness meetings for 10 years, and all they were concerned about was preserving their particular view of the Bible, and keeping members at heel by flooding them with all manner of sophistry and dismissal of anything outside of...
