I respect that everyone has their own opinoin in this world but I just cant see how people can justify religion. None of you can tell me you're 100% sure of the exsistence of god unless you are unbelievably ignorant of science. I'm not saying religion is a bad thing although Sikhism just seems to lead to violent protest but I am saying this is all a bit far fetched and scientifically impossible. Are you looking for someone to awnser the questions that confuse you, a blueprint on which to base your life around, false hope, fear of thinking for yourself? What?
First, Welcome to the Forums, I hope that you enjoy your time here, and this is a very nice first post, you might want to provide an introduction of some sort, so we can get to know the person that we are talking to. Please take the time to look around the forums as you will see that there is a whole section open to everyone, to discuss anything from Airplanes to Zoology.
Now, Well, let me tell you why I believe in my God and his Greatness.
When I go to other forums, religious forums, like Islam, I am met as an Outsider, I am not given a warm welcome, unless you consider Lighting Torches to burn me, a warm welcome.
They open with the idea that they will not defend any accusation regarding their blessed leaders or prophets, and will only address the evils and faults in the Christian Bible, and how it is wrong.
So I walk away, because I am not welcome.
I go to an Atheist (and Non-Religious) forums and I am greeted with derogatory commentary and belittling statements regarding my intelligence and my religious beliefs.
I am then treated to a slew of vulgar comments about my religion, my beliefs, and every conceivable insult you could throw at a person, with the idea that no matter what I say, I am an evil Xian, who depends on "Sky Daddy".. (And that is the nice way they put it), and out to get them.
So I walk away, because I am not welcome.
Then I see an Atheist enter these forums, and we welcome them, with warm words and hope that they enjoy themselves.
I see an follower of Islam show up, and I see the same friendly welcome. Please come, join us, and talk and have fun.
We know why you have come, you come to debate, and tell us our religion is wrong, but still we welcome you, with civil words and an open heart and let you challenge our belief, and ask your questions (loaded and otherwise). We so welcome you, and entertain your desires to the point that we devoted a whole section of these forums just so that you could come here and debate us, and tell us how much you hate us and our religion. That is true acceptance. Some do stay, because they realize that such a home will not exist any place else, even if they never do believe as I believe, they can not deny the acceptance that exist here for them.
We open our doors to you, to a great many other areas, where we welcome you to have community with us, to talk of sports, and life and politics and cars. In short, we treat you as a human, as you should be treated in a civil manner, as we are not treated outside these forums.
Then we defend our Bible to you.
Then we defend our belief to you.
and we do so in as civil a manner as we can (We are human after all).
Say what you will, but by those acts alone.
I know I have the right and correct religion.
No where else have I see such an open door to others that do not believe as they believe, as the door to the Christian Faith and the places that it's followers gather, right here at CF.
I know I have found the right path, simply by the actions of the people that share this path with me.
Bless you all my Brothers and Sisters. For by us, maybe the World can See God, as I have see God.
I hope I have given you an answer to this Question.
God Bless
Key.
