So reading a few threads, I realize I'm quite different than most folks here when it comes to religion. Just interested to see if I'm the only one that doesn't believe in God? To me it is a ridicoulus proposition that if your a good boy or girl you get to go to a magical place with all your dead family members where your wildest dreams come true when you die. Do people really think this happens???? Isn't it far more likely that when we die that's it? I personally hope that's it, it gives me a chance to give back what I've taken, let my body / soul pay a small debt for the experience and resources I used, I'm not trying to upset people but I can't believe everyone still blindly follows this stuff to me it is weakness of mind and people being afraid of reality. Dying is part of living don't be a sally about it....

Why do you think you have a soul? Feel sorry for folks so lost in themselves that they can't see the miracles all around them. We dont go to a magical place because we are good. Can't earn your way through behavior, it is through believing. I hope others will have more to say on this. God bless

Well that was a silly response, in fact I never thought of myself or claimed myself to be bigger than anything else just part of the world and to the world I would return. Can you explain how I am lost in myself?

You say you have a soul, so where is your soul going to go when you die? I believe you will either go to heaven or (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) after judgement day. You will either be in paradise or burn in (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) for eternity. You have a choice before you die what you want to believe. I will believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior. If lm wrong I guess that’s it. But I am not taking that chance. I have seen miracles with my own eyes. God has blessed me and I thank him for it. Nobody is going to force you to believe in Jesus, it’s up to you. I will be praying for you.


It is more blessed to give than to receive

Thanks Kevin. Again I'm not trying to upset people, I guess remove soul and replace with conscious

Here is my question for you. How do you spend time in the outdoors and see the wonders of nature, the magnificence of the ecosystem, and believe that it happened by chance? To me, that is what makes me believe in a Creator more than any church or sermon. Sometimes I think we get so wrapped up in daily life and forget to see the amazing Creation around us.

I agree. That's why I'm a Christian instead.
Regarding facing death, maybe we have different experiences. I meet far more non-believers who fear death than believers.

Yup I agree science has created a fragile balance, why do you think you go some place else and the animals we reduce to possession don't?

No need to worry about it. I can just about guarantee, in your case you will get exactly what you are predicting.

Because we are made in God's image with a soul, animals are not. We have dominion over them and they are here feed, clothe, and entertain us. The best part is, although we are made in God's image, we are not forced to serve or worship Him like slaves. He gave us free will to choose to either follow Him or not. We do not loose our freedoms when we choose to follow Him, but instead we find our freedom in Christ.

No I can't. That is for you to ponder.

I believe we are all in for a big surprise. Believers and non believers alike.
