    Why I gave up on Christianity

    Maybe i phrased that incorrectly. I believe for instance with 100% certainty that the earth is round & not flat. i believe with 100% certainty that the earth orbits the sun. I believe with 100% certainty that Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969. I dont know with 100%...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    I believe truth exists. I don't know if we can know truth to be 100% knowable. There is usually always some element of doubt in any knowledge. iF I am going to believe something, there has to be a valid basis for me to believe it. It cant just be, it's in the bible, the bible is the word of god...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    Hi Mark, you say that the Christian view in Satan is confirmed in the O.T. in the book of Job. Maye you are reading a translation different to mine, or maybe you havent read the book of Job for some time, but I suggest that you read the 1st 2 chapters of Job again. Satan as described in the book...

    Losing my religion, where is the evidence for God

    Please correct me if i am wrong, but are you saying that evolution IS true, but that God just set it all in motion? That is not what the Intelligent design creationists claim, but your explanation is far more plausible than theirs. Not saying i agree with it, but if God COULD be proven, your...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    If I am to accept the premise that the O.T. DID prophesy Jesus as 'The Messiah' as claimed, that does not mean that I have to believe that Jesus was God in the flesh, because 'The Messiah' of the Old Testament is NOT god, but an anointed king, who is to come & rule the Israelites & himself...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. Definitely, people can do evil things, there is no question in that. Does this mean that there is an evil force causing them to do these things? That is definitely NOT my belief based on MY logic. Of course, my logic can be faulty, but that does not mean that i...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. From memory, Jesus dosnt say much about Satan at all in the Synoptic gospels (correct me if I am wrong), & it is only in the Gospel of John where Satan gets much of a mention. It is also only in the gospel of John where Jesus claims that he & the father are one...

    Losing my religion, where is the evidence for God

    Can you tell me where I find this "growing evidence" of intelligent design that is NOT from a creationst website or by creation apologists, & is actually real science by real scientists that have published peer reviewed papers?

    Why I can't accept Christianity

    Apart from in many Muslim countries (whose faith I suspect you reject), the only commandments that are written into law is commandment no.6, commandment no. 8, & commandment no. 9 (in a court of law only). That is only 3 of the 10 commandments. Based on your logic, that means that we SHOULD...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    It wsnt my intention to 'offend' anybody by the choice of my username. I didnt think most people would notice, & my understanding of Satan in a biblical sense, comes from a purely biblical source, which is the Old Testament, & how it is interpreted by the Jewish religion. The sort of evidence I...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    I was wondering how long it would take somebody to notice! I was just struggling to come up with a username & thought of it. I have done quite a bit of self-study since that time, & believe that the Christian concept of Satan is made up, & is used as a tool to keep people in the church from...

    Why I gave up on Christianity

    A no. of years ago when I was I was feeling depressed I met a former work friend who I hadnt seen in a while. We started talking, & then the subject got on to religion & what I believe. Well you know the story, it was a pretext to get me along to his church. I hadnt been to a church for years...
