OldThinker I do respect the idea that you have a belief and commit to your belief.

....To answer your no I dont believe and there are times my stand on this is quite strong but I do not like to minimize or belittle those who do believe, I just wish that the whole concept did'nt control society as a whole as much as it does e.g the involvment in politics and they can have something sensored because of what the bible has to say about it.

mullet35, Good points on belief......and your thoughts on the OP videos sir?

??? A little more explanation on that one would be appreciated!

What do you think of....1 Peter 3:15......."But make sure in your hearts that Christ is Lord. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. Be ready to give the reason for it. But do it gently and with respect."

OT curious?

I only had enough time to watch the first 2 videos (about the universe). Even though I always knew what he was pointing out, it was nicely presented.

There wasn't anything there that goes against my beliefs. We are like a speck of dust, but as William Blake wrote, "To see the world in a grain of sand...". I find it easier to feel God looking inwards, but the infinity of space also helps.

I will watch the other videos tomorrow.

If you go through all the sacred religious texts in almost all religions, they all seem to share and say the same thing; that there is something more than just this physical life, you don't actually disappear from existence.

Nice thread, Star and Flag OP

Maj

Thoughts on the 'its friday but sundays coming' audio? It's the last in the OP, ok?

Clearskies,


Hi...!!!!!

These are difficult times, especially as of late in the US....at least ECONOMICALLY....realizing we have it better than most if not all in the world....


I do pray for all in the 3rd world...for sustinence, food and wisdom to endure....my LORD Jesus spoke of poverty many many times more He did than heaven and hell....my Jesus IS THE friend of sinners, of whom I AM cheif...

Tony Campolo, IS THE most relevant speaker/pastor today....OT wishes more skeptics would research him and read his new book RED LETTER CHRISTIANS, huh?

Yes, Louie is a smart man...combining SCIENCE and the BIBLE...I wonder if skeptics will do the due diligence and research?

OT hopeful

It is hard to conceive why so many do not believe in a creator architect, nothing did not create something no matter how you look at it. Matter even in it's finite state had to be created from something and that something is a creator. How ever it is you may interpret God. Even thought, reason and common sense will let you know that you can look at nothing (space) and it will never create substance.Believe what you may you have that right, I would rather die believing in a literal God, Than to die and believe nothing...........................
