    Without God, is there a point to living?

    no god= no meaning of life. Let us stop lying to ourselves. That doesn't mean you have no reason though. You want to have fun. That's a reason. But there is no purpose of life and you shouldn't judge people on moral codes if you don't believe in God

    Can you control what you believe?

    God of Wrath or Loving Father?

    I notice that some christians prefer to look at God as a loving father. I agree that this is true, but does that make us more comfortable to sin against him. The reason I ask which view is probably more accurate is because some Christians believe that the God portrayed in the New Testament is...
