| Let's keep it fairly simple. Do you believe in God? And this isn't a matter of you following a religion, do you just believe in a higher power? Do you believe in the Bible? Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ? Do you believe in reincarnation? Do you think science has an answer to everything? Do you believe in Heaven and Hell? A fairly simple template to follow. Discussion will fallow after we state our opening opinions. Let the debate start! | |

| Well, I will be short and stick to your questions only:
1. Do I believe in God or in a high power? - Yes, I do.
2. Do I believe in Bible and Jesus Christ? - Yes, I do.
3. Do I believe in reincarnation? - Although the Christianity doesn't approve reincarnation, I think there could be something true about it. The reason why I think so? If there is the afterlife, the number of people that have died and that will day is infinite. That means the heavens and the hell will be too small one day. So, the reincarnation is a logical sollution. Like the recycle process.
4. Do I think the sience has an answer to everything? - Actually I think that the sience and the religion speak the same thing in different languages. Sience just explains the principles of how the God made this world work. And no, it still hasn't answered everything. For example, the sience says everything came out from the Big Bang. But what caused the Big Bang? And what had been before it happened? Where are the borders of the Universe? And what's beyond the borders? No one knows that...
5. Do I believe in Heaven and Hell? - As you could conclude from the previous questions, yes I do. | |

| Do you believe in God? And this isn't a matter of you following a religion, do you just believe in a higher power? Yes I believe in a higher force. Do you believe in the Bible? Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ? I tend to live my life by following the moral of the story that the bible gives. Love and do not hate. No stealing, no killing no this no that, I take it all to heart. However I am an atheist, I don't truly fallow the bible nor do I believe in walking bushes and stuff >_> Do you believe in reincarnation? To a point, I agree with Feo on this one, but in all honesty I don't really believe in much of the religious stuff. Do you think science has an answer to everything? no, but it did clear up a lot of stuff Do you believe in Heaven and Hell? No I believe in Nirvana xD
let the discussion begin! | |

| Do you believe in God? And this isn't a matter of you fallowing a religion, do you just believe in a higher power? I believe in the possibility of the existance of a a greater being Do you believe in the Bible? Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ? Some of the concepts yes, but in honestly no, i dont. Do you believe in reincarnation? Not really, a form of it yes, reincarnation in another life beyond this world Do you think science has an answer to everything? I think it's possible in the future it will be able to prove and disprove many things beyond doubt, but it cant answer everything, there's just too much Do you believe in Heaven and Hell? I believe that 'hell' is going to your grave because in latin thats what it roughly translates to if i remember correctly. I dont believe in them being physical places as such but more as states of ones mind. | |

| Well the only god I obey to is the Great Romanian, As I call him. The fellow plays his music everyday at the local shop and has been harrassed by the police many times. But I always give the fellow some money, and good things always happen.

let the discussion begin! and i agree with you mate. And no, you're not atheist, you are the same thing i am- agnostic. While atheists don't believe in ANYTHING, agnostics think there is something out there but don't want to make it specific and say what it is. I was raised as catholic, but too many loopholes for me to make me a true cathcolic. | |

Well, agnostic is when you believe in the possibility of a greater being but until you have proof you wont ever be a true believer. Just to clarify things (i'm agnostic too) | |

| Instead of believing in "high force", wouldn't it be much better to believe in God? I mean, when you believe in God, and in destiny, you have nothing to worry about... | |

But to me that sounds just like blind faith, and i just can't be another sheep. There is just no way i can believe in a god/gods without proof, but i want to believe something is out thee, that we're not just 'mishaps' caused by wind, lightening and waves..... Thats not what turned me agnostic though. Some very religious woman told me i was evil because i believed that not all ghosts were evil in intentions, and the fact that she could believe that whole haertedly that I was evil just.... shock me.... before that i went to church every sunday, and prayed to a go that possibly isn't even real, to me it now seems astonishing that i believed the way i did, that ni was another cog in the infinate wheel of christianity....... ok, rantish over | |

| Ice Breaker:
Do you believe in God? And this isn't a matter of you following a religion, do you just believe in a higher power? No and no, though I do believe there is a power, just not a higher one.
Do you believe in the Bible? Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ? No, and about Jesus Christ, he may or may not have existed. If he did, he wouldn't have been like portrayed in the Bible.
Do you believe in reincarnation? Change in topic, but my answer is no. Unless it was meant that energy was recycled.
Do you think science has an answer to everything? It depends what is considered "everything". If everything means, absolutely everything, including the things that humans couldn't possibly grasp, then no. Science is limited to human understanding and perception. We haven't reached our limit yet and I don't think that will happen any time soon.
Do you believe in Heaven and Hell? Simply, no.
Okay, I'm ready for the discussion. | |
