Religion is man made. All God ever wanted was for His creation to love him back.

Yes I do click them but I will never click any ad that contains a sound because they annoy me.

EXCELLENT story. Thanks for posting it. Who would my 5 be? I have no idea but I can tell you that it would probably be the 5 who I would least like to be reminded of. The point is our words and deeds affect people in ways we can never know unless and until they are revealed to us. Some will be good and since no one is perfect, some bad. The best way to avoid the bad is love of others over self (tough one) and practice of The Golden Rule. easier said than done

hehe, I win with over 1k buckets. :P

Lately, i've taken to collecting seaweed while crafting laws. It makes runecrafting more tolerable and I can gather 1k pretty fast. Even if you dont r/c, I think Entrana is the best place. Freminik would be good if there were a bank close by.

The sons of the first man ever created were building cities and playing musical instraments. If they had that kind of intellect already then they also would have had morals. Only man who has a sprit, has need of moral standards... i'll get back later :shock:

It takes just as much faith to believe He wasnt, if not more.

We are spiritual beings and they are not.

No that is not true. The reason is that people twist and pervert their religion's teachings and take it's mandates out of context. Hmmm..Lets just say humans are just another part of the animal kingdom. If you compare us with all of the other kinds of animals you will find that the human species (ugh..i hate to refer to us as that) is the only one that has no preset pattern of behavior to determine how the animal (cringe) will respond to any given circumstance. There is no preset pattern because we get to make choices. If it were natural selection and instinct we'd all react the exact same way to any given circumstance the way that animals do. Animals never lie, divorce their mates, neglect their children, or engage in homosexuality, just to name a few. They dont have a choice. This goes back to what was asked by someone else about a perfect God creating imperfect people. The truth is that He did make us perfect but we choose not to be the way he made us. Had He not given us that choice He would have robbed us of the whole reason that He made us, imo. So where does that leave us? We have to have a moral standard. And if there is no God then who gets to say what it is? You say treat people with respect and kindness that you would show your family. But how do we define respect and kindess if there is no God? And if everything we do is really done according to instinct and natural selection there can be no respect or kindness. The laws of nature will have to take over and it's every person for himself. That just doesnt make sense to me.

free will You're a bit late there... and JM answered what I was driving at anyways :P yeah looking back i see jm did answer that. guess I just gave a condensed version.

free will

Explain please. Thats a rather harsh thing to say without support and if you really believe it you know nothing of Christianity. from http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/tyranny Is that a better explanation? I didnt ask for a definition of tyranny. :shock: I asked you to explain your theory that Christian morals are tyranny.

Explain please. Thats a rather harsh thing to say without support and if you really believe it you know nothing of Christianity.

Just out of curiosity, what is your moral standard and where did it come from?

One year wiser. :wink: :P HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 8)

i like..thanks and lil bump

i dont see it

yeah i like it..but take out the ranged lvl ..i'm just 81 :oops: and can u make the name font smaller? like sep's on the law rune one?

ok i like the magic bow one. But can you put it on a lighter bg? I think that one is too dark. it would look good on either the law rune or dragon ls bg. I'll pay 200 k for it you change the bg.

i hate stereotypes :roll: I'm not a hippy and i dont drive vw van. I do agree with one thing you said. People do have the right to decide whether to bring a child into the world or not. But that decision should be made BEFORE a child is created. Once a conception has taken place is not the time to be saying, "GEE i dont think i want any kids right now so i'm gonna exercise my right not to have any and murder this one" :roll:

Firt of all i consider that a flame. In the post I quoted, you did not say "i am against abortion". You said, If you are going to comment on the literacy ability of others, or lack thereof, the very LEAST you can do is learn how to spell. :roll: And furthermore, my questions had nothing to do with whether you are for or against abortion, but were addressing your statement that the fetus does not have a living brain. I asked you to support that claim with evidence. Can YOU read?

Have you any evidentiary support of that claim? And even if it were true, are you now saying that it's ok to kill children who cant gain experience and knowledge because of brain disorders? or go into hospitals and pull the plugs of the life support systems keeping comatosed patients alive? because their minds arent gaining experience?? Can we then say that it's ok to kill institutionalized who have psychosis of some nature or another, because, after all, they are not gaining experience inthe real world? then is it ok to kill children who were born to teenagers and are having a hard life because there parents really never wanted them in the first place? what kind of experience is that? Where does it stop and who gets to decide? Would you be ok if your mother had excercised her right to abort you? but o wait, you'd be dead. Why is it all about the mother's body. Lets ask the children what they would prefer. But they cant talk yet, so i guess it's ok to kill them. :roll:

I would not keep the baby. I would allow a loving couple who is unable to have children of their own to adopt him or her. It would be much harder to heal from a rape knowing that I, in turn, had murdered a child. Go to any public place and shoot any child between the eyes. Thats what i think abortion is. No difference.

Your evidence for that is?

Because belief in the existence of God is entirely faith based, there is no other way for a believer to reason His existence whithout starting from the premise that He exists. Since God's ways are not my ways, it would be folly for me to follow man's laws of logical reasoning. I have said many times before that I dont know all the answers, and in fact, I know very few. But I do know my Father. And I came to that knowledge through faith. I have seen with my eyes things happen in my life and the lives of others around me that cannot be explained any other way. I could give examples, but I am not writing this in attempt to convert anyone so I will not. (anyone who sincerely wants to know more may feel free to pm me) To you, others here may have shown that he probably does not exist, but I have not seen that. Call me gullible, illogical, unreasonable or whatever else you feel like, but I am secure in my faith and I have peace.
