Time has to be made somehow or started, otherwise there is nothing.


Why? How can we actually say time has to have started somewhere, why can't it be infinite?

I mean you've said yourself God just is, didn't have to be created, so it seems like you would understand the idea of infinite vs. finite perfectly.

I believe that our time has to be started, I Think God is infinate because he is the maker of all things and cannot be made.

The way I see it, is that Humans and God live in two different realities. Whats real to God cant be real to us cause we cant comprehend it.

Time for the Earth and humans was started. The Earth was formed about 5 billion years ago, and homo sapiens emerged around 18,000 years ago.

I don't see why I should believe something I cannot comprehend.

Thats true. In the chritin religion God just is. He was not created. I find the book sereis "his Drak materials" by Phillip Pullman to be very interesting. The entire book has to do with religion in some way or another. These books are :The Golden Compas, The Subtle Knife, and :The Amber Spyglass. I recomend you read them. they are good sci/fi fantasy books.

Actually the earth is only about 6000 years old, but I wont get into that cause you, no doubt have pages and pages of scientifical proof and I'm too lazy to research anything. :P

Even though I've read and heard many things about this, I just dont see the point in going around looking for all of it.

Its simple, cause it cant be explained. The big bang doesnt explain enough. All I know is that I believe theres a God and if I believe in him and know he's real its easy to explain everything and it makes sence to me.

I've read them, and I liked them. However, history has shown that science fiction is more useful for providing inspiration for people rather than actually predicting the future.

I never stated that they were good for predicting the future I just find that the way the idea of God was describbed in the 3rd book was interesting. By no means should that be considered a religious diocument.

The way I have hetrad about my goddess begining was interesting. I dont have it now. I'll fidn it then post.

my religious views is that I am a powerful god with gigantic pectoral muscles, a lightsaber, and bolts of lighting that I can throw at anyone at any time i want. And I have a really hot wife that I can have sex with 24/7.

one more thing though - my balls are the size of jupiter, cause you know, gods are really big and everything has to be proportionate.

You didnt have to reply., This is religious views not religion. This could be considered spirituallity. But any way. Why are you so proude to be Catholic. Why do you believe in Catholisism instead of Pentacostal? They are both Christina religions. So why one and not the other?

Catholicism is different than Christianity because it is more of a spiritual connection . We kneel at mass and take of the bread (body) and wine (blood) of Jesus. I believe in Jesus because I grew up that way and I read the Bible and I tried to question it but found all answers useless and pathetic. I know there is a God and my faith will see me through and it helps me be the successful person I am. Who is there to turn to when there is nobody else and you don't believe in God? You are all of a sudden alone, in your self righteous and egotistical world with no one to turn to. Nobody will be able to convert me because my feelings are so strong and I was able to surrender instead of letting my ego get in the way.

How can it be of a more spiritual connection if you do not speak in the tounge given to us by the Holly spirit? Read the book of Acts. Besides. Catholisim writher you like it or not is a religion under the umbrella of Christianity. You are a Christin if you pratcise catholsim.

The bible also states you are not supossed to worship man, yet Catholics worship and pary to Marry. Honor her yes, but have a paryer dediucated to her not at all. Its a sin. She after all was of the flesh.

I wont try to change your views. I only wish to see you respect others who view the divine differently then you do. I also wish that you respect those who are of the christin faith like your self who would say that Catholics are no different.

Catholics are different, yes, we just do things differently. Whatever the Christian religion we are there to worship God. Also, we don't have to do exactly what they did then, we are communicating to him, that's the main purpose. I do have respect for people of another religion I just don't like getting into arguments like this because the whole aspect is ruined and it's just a defensive mode for the opposite party.
