Have you ever heard that little song, “Anything you can do I can do better, I can do anything better than you. No you can’t, yes I can. No you can’t, yes I can.” I always thought that was a funny little “jingle” and it always seemed to stick in my head for a while [...]
Does Stephen Hawking Believe in God?
October 7, 2008 by
I just recently finished reading a bestselling book: A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking. It was a very good book on concepts such as the beginning of time (as viewed by most scientists today), and many other scientific concepts (such as Einstein’s theory of Relativity). Throughout the book, Hawking mentions “God” quite a bit. [...]
What I Love About an Agnostic, Atheist, or Non-believer
September 22, 2008 by
Some have a really funny sense of humor. It even makes me laugh out loud sometimes at the funny jokes (not the ones where they insult people). Another reason I enjoy some of the agnostics/atheist is because it offers a different perspective on life. I believe in God, but I totally respect other people’s beliefs. [...]
Pascal’s Wager: What Have We Got to Lose By Believing in God?
September 21, 2008 by
Is Pascal’s Wager True? Do We Have Nothing To Lose by Believing in God, and Everything to Gain? I completely agree with this argument 100%. This makes so much sense to me, and I agree with Pascal’s brilliance! People sometimes try to defy this reasoning, by saying that: Pascal’s wager if faulty, because it assumes [...]
My Family Just Lost Someone to Suicide, I Don’t Know if God Exists
September 21, 2008 by
I recently received a question about someone who had lost a family member to suicide. They were very confused, and some members were religious and followed an organized religion, while others were agnostic or unsure about God. Here was my reply to the question: First, I just want to say that I am very sorry [...]
Why Do Non-Believers and Agnostics Turn Religious Fast After a Disaster?
September 21, 2008 by
Isn’t it funny (or sad) how people often live their lives without any regard to God, spirituality, or religion. However, the first big disaster or problems they fact, they can get really religious REALLY quickly! I think this happens because people have believed in the past, but get involved in their life. They have some [...]
What Would Happen If I Suddenly Stopped Believing in God?
September 14, 2008 by
The same thing that happened to me when I didn’t previously believe in God. Nothing (except I will probably be more cynical, miserable, and depressed about life because it makes it kind of pointless if there isn’t a God in my opinion)! God gives us free choice and free will on this earth. Believing or [...]
How Has Your Belief in God Changed Your Life?
September 14, 2008 by
I believe in God/the bible. Only positive things have come from my belief in this (I haven’t always believed so deeply, in fact I used to consider myself agnostic or atheist. In general, I am a nicer person and more forgiving. I feel much more secure and purposeful in life. Believing in God makes me [...]
What is the Difference Between Faith and Belief?
September 4, 2008 by
A belief is just that: something we believe. You can believe things for a number of reasons. A “faith” simply means you stand by your belief, even if you don’t have all the answers. For example, you can believe that going to college will offer you a higher paying job. (you don’t know this for [...]
Will There Be One Major World Religion in the Future?
September 4, 2008 by
If you read Revelation, it seems that during the times of the anti-christ this world will be very corrupt and wicked. It is also apparent that while there will still be religious faiths in the world, people will generally not be believers. So will there be a big world religion in the future? To be [...]
I Have Slowly Stopped Being a Christian, and I am Not Sure About My Faith
September 4, 2008 by
This is not me, this is a question someone recently posted and I decided to reply. Sometimes churches or so called “religious people” can actually do more harm than good! I personally don’t attend church, for some of the same reasons you mentioned. However, I do have a very deep belief in God, and I [...]
Why Would Anyone Want to Believe in God or Christianity?
September 4, 2008 by
As someone who has doubted & disbelieved in God, and also believed in God I can tell you from personal experience. I feel so much more happy, less depressed, and so much more now that I believe in God. It didn’t come easy, but after lots of research and looking at all theories at how [...]
