As a god fearing man?

Not so afraid of the concept of god (since i don't believe in it), more getting afraid when I hear the word God. The next thing I know somebody wants to blame, convert, marry, accuse, send to hell, promise heaven, whatever. SOmebody mentions god, the next thing i know, its trouble of one kind or another, why? Just send me to hell and don't say no more about this god fellow. If he is all powerful, maybe he could buy me a few beers sometime, then maybe I will reconsider. Otherwise no, he and I will see our poor selves in hell anyway I figure.

I understand where you're coming from. It's difficult, to say the least, to keep a good attitude towards certain groups when so many in those groups want to scream at you for not believing as they do. What they fail to realize is that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. They certainly wouldn't like it (infact, they'd likely speak out against such an atrocity if it happened to them) if someone tried to angrily convert them to another way of thinking. Those same people keep a double standard though, insisting that their way is the only way and that you are "of the devil" if you don't agree with them. Not everyone who counts themselves a member of these groups is like that though. There are many who are quite content in their beliefs and have no interest in ripping you away from yours. Those people do seem rather rare, but they exist and they are wonderful souls. I hope you can find a few more of the latter, and a few less of the former.

Okay..ignoring the fanatic behind me (I think they were a fanatic, I didn't bother really reading after two lines..) *shrugs* I don't blame ye for cringing whenever someone brings god into conversation. Unfortunately we seemed to have run across a large amount of judging, fundimentalist, hateful christians as of late -- though they truly AREN'T christians..but whatever, they're entitled to their opinion. Just ignore 'em, hun. No one can tell you how to live or what to believe. We all do what we think and feel is right regardless anyway. There are nice christians out there though, they are kinda rare to my experience, but please don't get to a point where you dislike christians..we need more of the good ones out there. I'm sorry you've had a hard time with them lately.

I do believe in God, but I think of God as being about love and not about vengence and judgement etc. I hate the way people say that the way we live our lives is wrong etc, at the end of the day if God doesn't come down and tell me 'himself' than I'll do whatever I please. We only have 1 life and if you don't harm anyone than what right do others have to condemn some of your choices?

i agree with you. if the God is on,why he see many poors poor. if he is is not novel,why he see somebody hit others unequally. nowadays,many many things happen in a net ,why do not he prevent that? if one day there is a obvious evidence that the God is on ,i will opologize him.

Christianity has clothed itself in Pagan rituals and then dares to damn those who still follow them in their true form. Theirs is the highest form of hypocrisy. They claimed the whole concept of hell from the old mystery religions and then dare to condemn people, who do not believe as they do, to it. The words of Gandhi come to mind. "I like your Christ: I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ"

as a god fearing man i don't agree with you.god has given us choses we can do both good and the evil.so it is we who do such things in his name.god has commanded us not to take his name in vain.there are some religion which have fanatics who kill in his name.like the one we saw on 9/11.
