Matter wrote Its just something to fight over and debate. If God is so great and all powerful, how about he fixes the issues in this world? If he can apparently develop a whole world, why can't he fix the issues with it. Don't tell me "he is busy" or anything like that, it is said that he created the world basically instantly, if he can do that he can make a few quick fixes also.

Think of it this way.....God created us and put us through a test (which is life) and based on our actions in life he decides whether we are worthy of going to his kingdom (Heaven).
I also believe that God doesnt intervene with all the bad things in the world because he wants us the sort them out our selves which im presuming is part of this 'Test'.

I can understand where you are coming from with that, and that is a very good way of thinking about it. That makes more sense than a lot of stuff that religious organizations say now-a-days. But I still can't and won't grasp the idea of a man being able to develop thousands of species and a world for them.

I agree with you, the fact that one being was able to create so many things in so little time is hard to grasp and thats basically it, we as humans have not advanced enough to be able to understand the concept of something like God, we could then go into debates like 'Well if god does exist, then who created God?' ive thought of all these questions before and it really blows my mind, you just have to have Faith tthats basucally what fuels people to believe in god. Other arguments suggest everything has a cause If the Big Bang Theory IS true then something MUST have caused it, nothing happens on its own and some religious people believe that God is the one who caused the spark that set of the Big Bang.

I hope you see where im coming from and begin to understand more about God and how he works.

I understand what you're trying to say, but things happen sometimes that people can't explain, something like the creation of the universe and everything we know is one of those things. I believe God was a way to explain something that could not be explained at the time, and has been taken too far.

Religion is just an excuse to explain the things that we don't yet understand. Just because science can't explain some mysteries of life YET does NOT mean that some higher power was the cause of it. I believe that in the future, most people will be atheist. Remember, many years ago the majority of the population of earth believed that the earth was flat and you would look like a fool if you didn't believe this. In the future, the same thing will likely be said about religion and the existence of a god.

If god could do anything, then why is there poverty and starving children in Africa? If god doesn't want us to sin then why did he give us the ability to do so?

Thank you, I might just add that to the topic. I agree.

I believe there's a God. Also, I believe that every religion believe's in the same God, but in every religion this god is like a different person.

I completyly agree with all of this. I have thought this for a very long time. Also I was not going to read the whole paragraph when I first saw it but ended up reading it because it was intresting.

i dont think religion is stupid wouldnt say i belong to any religion tho
saying its dumb to some who belives it
is like saying its true to some who doesnt

and religion was created by kings to control people and make them belive that they
sin and keep them quite
