I'm a christian pentecostal this is my religion, and i believe God because he created this univers and the galaxy and he created me and you to and all the people,
HOW do you know this? Evidence? Or mental conditioning (brain washing) when young?
One huge problem with religous people is that they claim to know things, that nobody knows or can know at least yet. However science is only just getting started. So give it a few hundred years. And they cannot tell anyone HOW they know!
and the Bible says in Genesis chapter 1, vers 26 and 27 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
But the bible means nothing to me, unless you can show that its true. Its just a book written by frankly ignorant iron age men, long after the events were supposed to have happened. Mostly by unknown people. Just stories passed on, since there was nothing to write on, or with... And theres absolutely no reason to believe any of it is true, any more true than any fiction book. So anything you read from that book means nothing unless you can demonstrate that its true. And it should mean nothing to you either! How do you know which bits are true, if any? Please show your supporting evidence?
This is what i believe John.
I know you do. And you ignore all the contradiction with both the book itself and with science now that we know better, and even your own morals. But its WHY you believe it that I am interested in. To believe in something, without good reason, is not rational. So I wantto see your evidence that its true. And without this, theres no reason to believe any of it! Why dont you believe the koran? (because you just happened to be born in a place where children were brainwashed into your particular religion?)
But i want to know if you believe in some God?
Of course not. There is literally no supporting evidence for any of the many hundreds of god(s) that are no longer fashionable, or todays selection, including yours. To believe in something without good reason is simply wrong! It would make me irational, delusional. You believe because you were brainwashed/conditioned when young into your specific religion. And not for any sane rational reason based on evidence. Tell me, why are you not a hindu? Because you dont believe it? Thats only because you were not born in india and brainwashed by hindus... Or the Buddist's "Tripitaka" texts? Are they true?
Colossians chapter 2, vers 8-9 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
Thats from your favorite book? Why would you believe any of that? Or take any notice of it? Why not read say, the star-wars books? or the koran. What gives your book more credibility? What EVIDENCE do you have to believe a word of it, or that any gods exist? Because so far, there isnt any evidence ever, anywhere! Only endless circular reasoning while a believer tries to justify his "faith".
Do you know what faith means? Its a word used to describe belief in something without good reason. Religions push that word, and make it seem like its a good thing. Its not. It just a lack of reason. A failure of logic. A means to make you believe something that makes no sense, and has no supporting evidence.
