h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

your right chisrtanity did start during the times of the romans! but the Romans did not make God up! and there is prove that Jesus did exsist at tha time as well.

and aslo God helped me during a bad time but how mauch people say to me that you brought your self out fo the bad times but the truht is that it was God! mand i do need to beileve in god becuase he is almighty and that is my choice to beileve in him becuase of my expiranaces with God and the fiath i have in him. yeah bad times will come but i know everyhitng to going to be hunky doorey becuase I have god! so for example, my dad was made redunant (lost his job to fault what was not he own) and we were close to losing the house and we had already made plans to stay over friends form church homes, during this hard time we noticed the love god gave to many poeple to help us. dad got a job ina chirstan charity and we stil live in our house, were suffering form the cerdit curch we keeping pray and keep readign the bible and god has blessed us! I'm writing this message form my new laptop becuase I share a laptop with my sister and it broke with all our work on! we were gutted! i prayed about and the home insurance gave us money to get a new laptop and my dad was able to fixed our old laptop for long enough to get all our work form it! God has bless me and my only want os to let the rest of the world to to expirance what i have with god! he is graouis god and i love him to bits...I only want all of you to expirance the holy spirit because it's truley amazing.

God Bless

Wow, I didn't know that yo had so much faith.

Hi emo kid,

I don't know where you did your research but many societies untouched by Roman influence have or had gods, including several pre-Roman societies. Wherever this deep-seated need for belief comes from (and even if it *had* started with the Romans it's hung around pretty long for a passing fad!) it's certainly not from aping the fashions of Roman society.

For the record I don't believe there is an interventionist deity out there although I don't entirely reject the notion of some form of higher power.

Hhuumm, yeh now I think about it, it could be WRONG! I'm reporting it to the *manager* of that web adress.

Oops. What I meant was...

<>(which, IIRC was, "Why can't you accept God?")

What do you mean by accept? Do you mean, Why don't I believe that God exists? Because there is no evidence. Moreover, if there is an omnipotent God the word evidence has no meaning, because anything could happen.

Hhuumm.

The question is "Is God bound by laws of cause and effect?" If yes, then he's not omnipotent. If no, there are no necessary connections between events that would allow us to reason about them, so A can never be evidence of B.

I get it!

"Is God bound by laws of cause and effect?"

no! god is outside time! he is above us all, he is looking down on us.

"What do you mean by accept? Do you mean, Why don't I believe that God exists? Because there is no evidence. Moreover, if there is an omnipotent God the word evidence has no meaning, because anything could happen."

huha! he can break the laws of physics he can do anything! thier is nothing he cannot do! isn;t what wonderful.

It's funny though! you need evidence that Jesus exsist and i have provided lots and stilll you don;t understand. There arte poeple in the wrold that only need to see the world around them to beileve that thier is a god.
I remeber watching this docamtary about a tribal commuinty and they visited them and they saw them pray and worship. the host of the progamme stated that these people had never had commuinations with the outside world and asked who or what were they wroshipping, they said Ocean! God reached them though thier suuroundings, they told the hosts many ting that had happened by the Ocean Spirit! I knew it was God becuase of all the things they were saying and doing, they are the most holy people i have ever seen, you see God in them!

my pointis that they just needed to see the world around them and you need 50 feet of evidence for a point that you know many poeple know to be ture so you can just understand let only beileve that he is almigthy!

so I'll ask again!

why do you need piles upon piles of evidence to beileve in somthing so simple????

You're in my prays always
Poppy7

Of corse you don't need piles of evidence to belive in somthing.

besides if people didn't belive then why did people write the bible? To be honest, even though people expect me to praise the devil, I belive in god!

That's AWESOME Emo_Kid8!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
but have you asked him to forgive your sins????

Poppy :D

Many times. I have done many things wrong but god is very forgiving.

Well, if God is not bound to the laws of physics then you can jump from the Eiffel tower and pray and you can be sure that nothing will happen to you? Oh well...

There is, by the way, a difference between the questions "Is there a God?" and "Did Jesus exist?", so please don't pretend that it's the same.

I don't need evidence for the existence of God. There is no evidence, so it's obsolete.
But why do you need a reason for the existence of the universe? Isn't it enough that it's there? Why does there have to be a meaning for anything?

Well, if God is not bound to the laws of physics then you can jump from the Eiffel tower and pray and you can be sure that nothing will happen to you? Oh well...
Herbrew 11:1! look for it you'll find your answer for that one!

why cant you except that God is beyond us...all of us??????

poppy

oh to Emo_Kid7

that is fanastic glad to hear it!!!

If God is beyond all of us - how come that you are so sure that He exists?

And why can't you accept that there is no need for there to be a God?

Yeah if There is no need for a God why is the world in such a terrible statue! God is needed becuase of all the sin we have commited God had to come in and save us!

God has had hundreds of thousands of years to save us has he not?

Of corse!
