Or do you believe there is some big monster up in the sky that’s going to condemn you to hell for being a freethinker?

Good questions!  I like good subjest matter.  God is not some bug eyed monster up in the sky.  Why would he be all hateful when he needs us as much as we need him?  We do have free will, and i can do whatever i want because of it, but heres the rub, i was created by something with a view of the bigger picture.  So by virture of where i was born and my personality there are huge sections of human reality that will never even occur to me to do because of who and what i was made to be. Example : kiss my boyfriend, you betcha!; eat chocolate covered ants, hell no!

"Look, Lord!", said the angel. "The humans have come up with the theory of libertarian free will.... just like You said they would."\n\nThink about it.\n\nA little deeper.

Well, I don't believe in Heaven *or* Hell, so I'd have to say no - but it raises a good point.\nWhat if I'm wrong and when I die I meet God - I'd have to believe and then, because I believed I'd get into Heaven. Because non-believers go to Hell.....\nHmmm, I'm confused.

I know for sure because my guardian angel told me…\n\nI’ll be sent to some dark and distant realm (aka another universe), to hunt down and destroy certain renegade demons who delight in disrupting harmony (time-space). He said: “These beings are evil beyond imagination, and even we angels could not deal with their ugliness, but some of you humans who are half-breeds will be able to use your evil side to see them, and slay them.” And then he went on about all these strange weapons and inter-universal transport systems. Well who am I to argue, and besides, someone has to do the dirty work, and I don’t see the Christians lining up, so I’m happy to comply.

Probably not, unless they had scientific proof that they were the creators of mankind.  Even so, why should I fall down and worship them?

To "Just my opinion"...I am a very good person and I am atheist. I do not deny the existence of god out of fear. I just don't believe. I am not afraid of hell because I have no reason to be afraid.  I do nothing that would be constituted as "sin" either.  I do not have to fear hell to be a good person!!  It is sad that most religious people are only truly good people out of fear.  They do not seem to do anything for anyone else for any reason beside their own self benefit...heaven.  I am not in denial.  I think that it is you who is in denial...you need something to explain what you do not understand.  You do not want to accept that there is no purpose for human existence and that you only have one life.  I guess I understand why people believe.  It would be comforting to think that after death, there is something else.  I prefer to live life  based on fact, and live the one life that I KNOW I have to the fullest.  Not to WASTE it worshiping something that is not even there!! (Sorry if I have been offensive to anyone else besides this guy)

I agree with you.  You cannot use logic to figure out All Powerful Super Natural God.\nIsaiah 55:9 As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.\nBlessings:  Kaitlynn

No.  They need to open their minds to other pastabilities.  May you be touched by his noodly appendage.  The FSM (CBUM) is just as plausible as any other god.  RAmen.\n\nhttp://www.venganza.org/

Hilarious. You now have gotten the masses so excited. I see some ready to pack up and head to Jesus land. I'm already living above it so I don't need the ride but thanks for the offer.\nLove & Light\nSharon

No. You are free to believe in what you want to believe in.

No that is a good question, because that will make them think about their whole "freewill" theory. And it will question if Ggod "knows all and everything. Because if he knows all, he would know about the future but if he knows the future and there will be no freewill.

I just got back from there and I didn't see it, but I'll look next time I go.  \n\nI think Orcs and Trolls practice shaminism.

It is entirley possible that he saw SOMEthing. A "demon?" No. An inhuman entity, trying to scare him? Yes. There are spirits on this planet, that never were human, but, are curious about the state of Being human. They can be nice about it, or they can simply enjoy harassing the living. We classify the bad ones as Demons, and the good ones as Angels, simply for convenience sake. But really, there are no religious connotations about them. \n   Not all people can see or sense these entities. Some people block out the ability, because it frightens them. But it exists. And so do they. So, yes. It is certainly possible that he did see something. :) If it did not physically accost him, I wouldn't worry about it. Ignore it, and it will grow bored and move on. Good luck!

I've never seen one, but my son had an interesting experience which he's loathe to talk about to this day.  He was driving out to see a friend around ll:00 at night, when he saw a very large, very bright light in the sky above an empty field.  He became so frightened he had to pull over.  After what seemed like a few seconds, he continued on his way. When he arrived at his destination he found he'd been on the road for over an hour longer than it should have taken him to drive to his friend's.  He forgot all about it until the next time, months later, when, driving by the same field, he became unexplicably filled with terror.  He shook so hard he could barely drive.  He had this same irrational fear come over him every time he passed that field, so he simply found another route.  I encouraged him to try to find out more about it, but he says it's too scary & weird & he'd rather not investigate, preferring not to know what happened.  I do believe we are not alone in this infinitely vast universe.  I only wish I could prove it!  If there are ET's, I hope they show themselves in MY lifetime.  I'd love to know the truth!

Maybe.\n\nIf there is a heaven or hell.  which way are you going?\nYou KNOW this, or just wish it?\n\nNo I have not had visions. Jesus & Devil. You can't believe in one and not the other.\n\nHave a good week.

I think you are on to something!\n\nYou will no doubt have those come in and sprat about "free will".. but if god knew everything and "has a plan".. then I am voting for YOUR thought here!

I am sorry to not be able to offer better company. If it is of any relief, I did meet one guy a long time ago who was a true atheist. His belief was that mankind would be better off the sooner they realized that a higher power was neither existant nor necessary. I was intrigued to find someone of such a like and opinion. Although I do not agree, I did respect his thoughts and beliefs. Unfortunately, the rest of the class overheard and went off on him. I had to apologize for it was not my intention when I first asked. So, no, you're not alone.
