well, so, in your opinion, a person needs to analyze all the religion available and just pick one?

why cant you discuss, try to understand science, try to figure it out by yourself what everything we are experiencing means?

thats what I dont understand, why choose the easiest and dumbest path of joining something that you didnt think for yourself
Originally posted by Faiol
thats why our world is $¨&*%#¨&, people want to follow, instead of create, discuss, question
if you really know about science and history, studied all religions and still picked one, good for you, but most people dont do that

A persons choice of religious expression is a complex and deeply personal process. Most people who take the time to address these issues will arrive at the belief system and level of faith that best suits them.

You're making the assumption here that you've arrived at ultimate truths and that the beliefs of others are easy or dumb. This is not logic, it's a demonstration of personal preference.

My love for my children runs deeper and is more true than any other part of my being. We have spent many hours discussing the nature of life and how I believe we came to be here and what purpose we serve. Morality has been a natural consequence of these discussions as they understand that they always have a choice to make. There is a space between stimulus and response that allows us to choose our behavior. At a very young age they both get it, not because what I have taught them, but because what they themselves have discovered by discussing the issue. Having said that, should they choose a truly dark path of inflicting pain and suffering in this world, I could banish them to hell and still love them immensely, because they chose the path. Now, do I believe Hell exists, NO, not in the manner most judeo chrisitian religions describe.

No body finds the truth in the religion, you'll fined the truth in the bible period, but I warn you!!
The bible has been played with and is very important for you to discover which parts has been added and taken off. Trust me no religion will tell you what has been added or taken of the bible, NO RELIGION WILL TELL YOU THAT. That's why there is so many disagreements about the bible, it has been twisted on purpose by secreat societies like Iluminati, they play a huge roll in this bible conspiracy from a long time ago.

The simple answer is that a literal hell does not exist. Most modern day depictions of Hell actually stem from that of the Greek underworld. The Bible isn't very coherent as it mentions both gehenna and a lake of fire and doesn't specify whether either is literal or whether they are both the same thing.
Hell is one of the most horrible concepts imaginable and the idea that a loving God could ever punish someone infinitely for a finite list of sins is an insult to any thinking being.

Yes I agree. It's not right to punish those who do not know. I won't debate on that. But what about those who already know that you are his father and have the sense of right or wrong? Shouldn't your son teach his siblings the same awareness? Shouldn't he follow what's his morality teach him what and what not to do? What if, knowingly, he choose to defy you and his own morality guidance? What if this one child spread lies to his siblings about your existence, encourage wrong just for pleasure and continue to act ignorant? What if despite your order or advise not to, this one rebel child decide one day he should steal your car, break into his brother's house, steal money, rape his brother's wife, murder her, tie his brother, torturing him, disable him for the rest of his life and he knows it is wrong? Your daughter learn this and expecting your judgement. So how are you going to deal with this one rebel child while at the same time you understand how much your other son's hurt, anger and hatred? What if you know you have to do something to prevent this one rebel child's crimes in future?
What if despite all your attempt to teach the sense of right or wrong, your word is misused and/or misinterpret to suit wrongdoing? What if very few of your sons and daughters know about it and try to correct yet been taunted and refuted by his siblings? What if this few sons and daughters of yours are fighting the lost cause?
