hmm... well in that case i hate being female!!! well sort of....

so if there arent enough sweet people in rl then i think we should all get toghether and form some sor t of closed gate community where only nice people like us can go...

"...in that case I hate being female...sort of..." Why?

"...some sort of closed gate community where only nice people like us can go..." Bad news, babe. The christians already invented that. It's called 'heaven'.

Conventional unattraction sucks. I get rejected for having long hair etc but its partly the effect I go for and partly 'coz I thrive on rejection. I guess I don't know about conventional unnatraction coz I always end up with people and then other people from school for example say your not going out with her even though I think they're really nice. So I don't know. I ususaly end up dating the spawn of satan either way so meh.

well theres a big downside to being a female.... as far as i can see...

drat! if the christians invented it then i'm screwed. because as far as they're conserned i'm going to hell...

"spawn of satan either way so meh."
sorry to hear it job.

Hell aint so bad. It's a place where your without god's love yeah, but if your an atheist that shouldn't bother you because you don't feel god's love either way. I'm probably missing something important but meh.

hmm... i think theres a little more to hell than that. at least the christians think so...

but if we're all not christians then we can all hang around in hell toghether....

History is written by the winners so how do we know that God isn't evil? Like Nazi Germany writing about how Jews were bad because they were killing them all or America writing about Germany being bad (6million seems a little extensive, unfortunatly I don't think it was far off!) or Iraq.

OMG, how DO we know that God isn't evil?!

God made everything right. So god made hell. Ergo god must be evil.

God is omniscient, why did he make satan if he knew hed be 'evil'.


In the book of Job, why does god ask satan where hes been. Surely if god's omniscient he would have know.

I had another point but I forgot it.

Oh yeah. If god is all forgiving, why is he punishing people in hell?

ok... well hell doesnt necessarily exist does it?i mean, not all religons believe in it. its just what the christians think. and you dont sound like you belive what they have to say... so why believe theres a hell?

god didnt make satan... i think he was kind of a fallen angel. wasnt he gods right hand man or something untill he did something bad and then was banished? ...i'm not really sure but i think it goes something like that...

maybe god asked satan where he'd been because he he isnt that omnicient... maybe he cant see waht satan does... after all isnt satan like the evil equivilent of god?.... and of course thats all assuming that satan actually exists...

and now for a weird sci fi kind of theory. one that i dont really believe, but that just occured to me when you said "God made everything right. So god made hell. Ergo god must be evil."

what if god was an alien... or something like that... like what if he existed in a sort of different reality? i mean like he was a part of a race of people who were powerful or smart enough to make humans? ok... i know it sounds kinda stupid. but its the kind of thing you might find a fictional book written about... and like i said, i dont believe it...

Satan was a fallen angel. But God still made him. Because God made everything.

But God must be Omniscient. It's what makes him God. The three facotrs a god must have in a monotheism is Omnipotency, Omnisciency and Omniprecense.

I don't know if God made Satan. I don't think the christian bible ever really explains that. It seems to me that the angels always existed just like God. Just God was more powerful for some reason. I think if you're christian you aren't really supposed to be asking these questions or searching for reason or rationality in your mythology. In fact I don't think you can find them in any religion. If you look for rationality in religion, religion breaks down.

The world would be alot more peaceful without religion. Look in the news today and everything will lead back to some religion (most probably Christianity and Islam but occassionally Judaism as well).

well what if there was only one religon? i mean not having religon wont stop bank rpberies, or muggings...

"what if god was an alien... or something like that... like what if he existed in a sort of different reality? i mean like he was a part of a race of people who were powerful or smart enough to make humans? ok... i know it sounds kinda stupid. but its the kind of thing you might find a fictional book written about... and like i said, i dont believe it..." Sounds reasonable to me. That what my personal religion points to... => A2841158

If the christians were right, then heaven would be a very quiet place.

well heven or whatever... wherever i go i hope you're all there

Awww.

well of course thats provied its not some really really terrible place.... i mean i wouldnt want you to think i was wishing you some not so nice palce.......

Lol!

I think the general assumption is that wherever you end up will be a nice place because otherwise you wouldn't be there.
