Many many people wrote the Bible over years out of experience, their dreams, and the voice of GOD that they heard. It wasn't one person.<br /> <br /> And Jesus wrote Revelations, and therefore contains true details of what will happen when the world ends. All sinners who have not accepted Jesus and God into their hearts and minds will be punished for their mistakes and wrongdoing. Those who accepted him will be rewarded for making the right choice by being sent to heaven before the torture ensues.

I'm Catholic and I believe in evolution. I believe God got the ball rolling and let it go from there. I also don't try to convert people. I don't see the point, honestly. If someone can't find God on their own, me forcing them to believe in God isn't going to get them anywhere. But don't think it only goes one way, that Christians look down on other religions for not being Christian. I tell people I'm Catholic, and I get this sidelong glance that says "Wow, you must be a closed-minded bigot who hates every other religion on earth."<br /> <br /> As for having "My God is rising" in a username, I don't see why it's so bad. It's essentially like stating "I'm Christian." I also don't see a problem with having a phrase that gently says "I'm atheist" or "I'm Muslim" or "I'm Wiccan". That's part of who you are, your identity. But don't go and change it to something like "God does not exist", because that's just antagonistic. If you're going to embrace your religion (or lack thereof), do it nicely. "Your God is not my God" or "so-and-so (is an atheist and proud!)" or something. Be proud of your religion/lack of religion/identity - and the best way to show your pride is to <b>be positive</b> about your beliefs <i>and</i> the beliefs of others.

Well, this is just typical religion. When asked to explain their stance, they come up with excuses as to why it can't be explained.

No. God didn't come from anywhere. He was there. He was always there. He always will be there. Of course I cannot explain it, because I am mere human and a child at that, therefore I can know absolutely nothing of holy knowledge, as it is too complex for the human mind. God created us with curiousity, but to be unable to know things of that stature for a reason - it would make us as smart as God and therefore able to defy him in such a way that... *shutters* Can't say.

This post is a bit late, but, I don't think it's right to have a debate topic directly targeting a user like this.

Here is my personal theory.<br /> Goddess created the earth, but she said she wanted it to do something for it's self, so she gave it a piece of bacteria and let it evolve.<br /> and the guy practically shoved the bible into my hand. I was contemplating burning it, but i didn't want to light myself on fire. And who do you think wrote the bible? I think it was some crazy guy who wanted to write a fictional novel.

So you believe in God because it explains everything. But you can't explain where God came from.

no one knows and thats also something you arent supossed to know EVERYTHING

ok now in my opinion dark tht WAS shoving it in someones face of your religion i meen you didnt have to take one if you dont believe.
