I have never thought about that aspect before. But you see I dont believe that we have one life. One life in this physical body perhaprs, but not just one life. |

The only reason we are here on earth is to reproduce, go find a girl.. They are the best things in this world and once you get one you will never stop talking about her. |

I am a girl and I have my guy. But I believe in erincarnation. I believe that every one has a purpose. That there is something they were sent thre to do. I was snet here to help people. I knowthat. I can feel it. Some people were sent to be tecahers and some were sent to be leaders. We all ahve a differenty "calling". I believe that what you are talking abuot is the cranal instincts. yes one reason we ae all amde is to procreate and keep the world going. But in my belif system we need to have something more. For me that is my religion. Its not a strict religion that tells you you have to live a certin way. Thre is no taboo aginst premarital sex. I am allowed to have as much fun as I want as long as I dont harm any one or break any laws. I do what I want. I follow the guidelines of my religion as my morla guides and I do what I feel is right for me. I am not teling you that you are wrong. You can have your belif and I can have mine. but what I am saying is how I feel about this. How to you explain dejavux if there is no such thing as reincarnation? How do explain memories that have never happend that you see? Things like that. There is no reason to not believe in reincarnation in my opinion. No reason to believe in it either. Thats just me. I see each life as a leraning experinace. ONce we learn every thing that we are supossed to learn we live as a spirit to guide the living taht are clueless about their tasks and what they need to learn. |

i guess you could qualify me as a christian. A quote i got from my friend syinge basically explains it all, it basically says...if you believe in god and there is one, you are set, but if there is not, you have lost nothing for believing, and if anything, you have found faith in something to help you in times of need, whether or not he is real, the thought of it would still make you strive forward. On the other hand, if you do not believe and their turns out to be a God, you are screwed....the actual quote is in my sig. |

Yes that would suck. I don't believe in God, but if there really is one I bet I wouldn't go to Heaven since I didn't believe in him. Then I'd be very sad. |

Besides. You font have to reproduce to have kids any way. You can aways adopt. My faith and my belifs have gotten me though many hard times. I am glad that I have my faith. |

I have no faith. That can be quite an advantage. It takes away time that you might be tied down by religion, and gives it to other activities that you may wish to pursue. |

Tied down to religion? :unsure: I dont even go to church most the time dude. Its not like I pray all day and do nothing else. I'm a Christian but you gotta realize not all Christians are religious freaks. |

I didn't say that all Christians are religious freaks. I just know that when you go to church, even if it isn't often, it takes time. Then, I know a family that gives 10% of everything that they earn to the church, and it does no good. What good is money to God? And answer me this...where was God when I needed my brother the most? |

God doesn't tie you down. He sets you free.
It's good to the church, not God himself. It is also a show of faith and love.
Right outside the spiritual door, offering his hand to you. Trav |

I disagree with that for sure. That pretty much implies that those who are born sterile or for whatever reason cannot reproduce are worthless and might as well give up on life. I think we're here to experience and just make life what we want it to be. What is right for one person, is completely wrong for another.
Is that a good reason to believe though? I mean should I believe in Zeus and the roman God's in case he decides to smite me or something? You should believe because you believe, not because 'it could be true.' I mean it could be true that Satan has taken over heaven and we should all worship Satan so that he doesn't put us through eternal punishment...Does that mean we should worship him too? Just in case A whole lot of things could be true. And I think you DO lose something if you believe for the wrong reasons. You're being dishonest to yourself, and by it's very nature being Christian for those reasons would imply a sin if you ask me. That's a selfish belief - you're not believing in God because you feel him and KNOW he is there, you don't have the faith the Bible calls for...You're believing purely out of fear...Not love, faith, selflessness, etc.

I agree with you 100% on your second point AA. I just decided not to comment on it myself. Personally, I think anyone who chooses a religion by that rule, has no faith, and therefore...no real connection with Christ. (Or whatever the case may be.) They do it out of selfishness, and fear. Not faith. |
