It concerns me whenever anyone is not accepting of other's beliefs. You don't have to believe in them, but you should at least allow other too.
Not all religious people are hypocrites, and you're right, I have interpreted the Bible to 'suit' my own needs. However, since it's been altered before to suit different churches needs, I am comfortable with my own 'form' of Christianity. It's part of my own 'personal' journey with God. Whether or not I change 'His Word' to suit my own needs is between Him and I and no concern of yours.
Both you and Cow keep asking for proof. I keep admitting there is none. I don't see how that's avoidance. What I do see as avoidance is that you don't really answer the fact that there is no proof either way, but you refuse to believe there may be a God. Science cannot disprove God.
Religion, (at least Christianity/Judaism) HAS changed. But the underlying premise has stayed the same... if there is a God, (which the Bible and other Holy Books all say a person needs to have faith in,) we have to believe in Him.
I keep asking you for proof He doesn't exist, and you avoid that too....

Well now that weve got that over with Im sure youd find me to be the exact same type of person you are...loving and open and smiling all the time.
Oh and I never said ALL religious people are hypocrites...but I did say youll find a good bunch of them there.
I and all the others on the non theist side have said on multiple occasions that Gods existence or non existence cannot be proven by science. We do however suggest that there is no proof whatsoever of the existence of Jesus Christ. If thats the same to you then we can agree never to agree.
We arent out to attack your "choice" in life, or for that matter how you decide to live it, Religious choice is yours as non Theism is ours.
The Post was created to determine choices and view the religious demographic here at CP. Obviously with polar opposite viewpoints on this topic things will get heated...thats ok because like Cow, myself ,trout and others we would love nothing more than to be proven wrong. Can we honestly say that about Christians though?
