I'm a bit bored and was interested in how many GMC'ers are religous.

Theist - believes in the existence of a God or Gods
Agnostic - isn't sure about the existence of a God or Gods
Atheist - does not believe in the existence of a God or Gods

I was raised in a very strict Christian home, and I attended a private Christian school
for many years. I wasn't allowed to do anything...listening to rock music was a sin, dancing was a sin,
movies and tv were tools of the devil, etc, etc. All of this really turned me off of religion, and when I was about 16 I
stopped going to church, and kind of went down a different path. As I got older I realized that it wasn't God that I had lost
faith in, but in the people who claimed to be speaking for Him. This is why I hate the term "religion". "Religion" as I
see it is just a bunch of rules made up by MEN; not by God. I still believe in God, and I still hold on to many of the core
Christian values that I was taught: being honest, being compassionate, and treating others the way that I would like to be treated.

Here's how I see things,could be a bit odd tho.
Holy Books are saying about creation by Him,
in school they teach us about Evolution,even Big Bang etc.

I support all of this,creation,evolution,Big Bang... smile.gif

There are no videos of creation,no videos of evolution(long therm process),no snapshots of Big Bang. wink.gif

But I do know few things.
I cannot create life on my own,I cannot start or irritate evolution and I would need tons of C4 to have a Small Bang. laugh.gif

So it tells me something about force around us,it doesn't mater how we call it. smile.gif

Yes, I Praise Him as well.

Its like having Flowers at your door...
Could be luck or maybe chance even a wrong address, but we all rather think some body loves us. A perfect sunset, shooting star, babbling brook, laugh of our child, yeah, If you don't mind me saying, I think somebody loves us.

I have more to say.

I love to look at everything from just what if....

Take humans for instance. We went from riding horses to the space shuttle in less than 100 years. From the printing press to the internet in about the same time.

So lets say you take human advancement up say 100,000 or shoot lets just go for 50M years. I feel it is very possible that we will be able to create new life, add a balance to an other wise, void planet. And so on. Even rebuild the body to give ever lasting life.

Thinking this way just means that it is very possible for there to be something that could have created us and this planet maybe even the whole universe.

I love how science and the bible both start at Nothing then something. BANG, here we are? Gee now what?

So yes, I believe in God, since it is very possible.

More from IMHO


I feel that He wants all of us to go to heaven but yet he does not come back yet, for his own fear of who will reject Him. Just like choosing which kid you will save and which one you will not. The one that ran to you for love, advise and mostly listened to the advise, will be the one you bring up with both hands. But it will still tear your heart apart. When the end is here, God maybe crying since some may not want his love.
A Testimony:

One day about 3 years ago I was out in my boat fishing, go figure. There is a nice sized mountain next to the lake. The bible says God will move that mountain, not because we ask Him to but because we believe He will, after we ask. It is not how you ask but how you believe.

On that day I looked up at the mountain and Told God to move that mountain just to prove to me that He was there. I was over run with emotion and really believed he would move it. But it did not move. The very next day I as looked at the mountain and saw a clearing in the tress that was not there the day before. Since then they have continued clearing trees bulldozing and building subdivisions. Every time I look at that mountain I feel His presence run all over me and he says, Look here you believed I would move it, so I am. Every Single time I see that mountain there is a noticeable a change.


Most of what we ask/pray for is already done, it is just not reveled to us and until it is, it is not there.
