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

I know it is the christian god because i feel it when i go to a christian church.That is why i believe christ is god.
Maybe i should have written "what you believe" other than "belief system"?
Anyway happy new year.
may love keep you and happiness surround you. ruth

You amaze me. I saw an interpretation like this in a Fist of Fun annual (http://www.fistoffun.net/book/85.htm), but then I expected it from comedians. I didn't say anything about it - it was comedy, and I wouldn't have suspected a person on the face of the earth to take that interpretation seriously.
THE SON WAS FORGIVEN BECAUSE HE WAS GENUINELY SORRY ABOUT WHAT HE HAD DONE! If he'd gone back and said, "Hi Dad. I'm finished now. It was always my plan to come back once I'd done all the bad stuff I wanted to, and I don't regret it for a second", it is somewhat less likely that he would have been forgiven. The average four-year-old can understand this without it needing to be explained. Why can't you? I know you have the intelligence to do so. I can only assume that you deliberately try to avoid understanding these things.

To give the explanation of the other illustrations mentioned, equally simple though they are, therefore seems futile.

hi minniemouse,

happy new year to you to!

I came across this passage in a Terry Pratchett book I am reading at the moment - I also posted it on another thread as it seemed appropriate. I'll post it here for you too as it says, in a humourous yet I think kinda real way, how I see Phred:

"Wizards don't believe in gods in the same way that most people don't find it necessary to believe in, say, tables. They know they're there, they know they're there for a purpose, they'd probably agree that they have a place in a well-organised universe, but they wouldn't see the point of *believing*, of going around saying, 'O great table, without whom we are as naught'. Anyway, either the gods are there whether you believe it or not, or exist only as a function of the belief, so either way you might as well ignore the whole business and, as it were, eat off your knees." (Terry Pratchett)

religion divides people instead of bringing them together.just imagine without it .people would be the same aka HUMAN! .

religion divides people?hey .im a christian but i dont like religion either.i dont do things religiously if that makes sense.i prefer 2 say i have faith in god.i think it depends on wether people judge christianity by christians or by christ!

i had somebody come to the door with leaflets .about god i told them i didnt want any .you should have seen the look they gave me .they thought i was evil for not accepting . its people trying to be bigger .look we are all the same .saddam hussein may have tortured and raped but hes still gonna die like every human being.im trying to say where all =

yes,i agree,we r all human.thats y it upsets me wen people jump all over christians if they get things wrong.every1 has some1 they look up 2 !well,i think christ was a really nice person n id like 2 b more like him

yeah i understand that but if everybody didnt believe in religion we would treat everybody equal.the worse problem in the world is all due to religion.

the irony is i feel that u r trying 2 tell me u r right and i am wrong.there are worse problems in the world than people who try 2 b like a nice person.or have u been affected personally by*those horrible christians*?

ive not got a problem with anybody just its dividing folk you dont have to follow anything to be nice
.what if i said i didnt believe in anything what would you say?

what u believe is a personal choice?there is a lot of wisdom in the bible imho that makes sense 2 me.i believe in love and believe god is love.

life is god

god is good=life is good!

life isnt god unless u worship life itself.i love jesus,u dont!get over it.

i meant that life being life aka living breathing etc is god

so u r saying u believe in life"i breathe therefore i am"?so do i.and your point is what?no offense but u said u dont believe in god ,then said life is god.so do u believe in life?lol

if you scroll through the posts ive never said i didnt believe in god.i said what if i said what would you think.i dont believe in religion

oh,sorry.my mistake.guess we believe in different gods then!

like i said god is life

u asked me what i would say if u told me u didnt believe in god
