I never quit... and I'm living my life quite happily... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Although as Christians we are warned that we will be judged and go through hard times just because we're Christians and I do find that to be true at time but I'm pretty happy as well :3

I still believe because I think the idea of morals is super-natural and shouldn't exist if it wasn't for G-d. Also inteligent design makes sense... the DNA in us definitely seems like something an inteligent being would make... it's information and information comes from inteligence not out of random events.

Evolution via Natural selection isn't random. Its not random if a creature has a mutation (random) that helps its chances of survival (not random) in some way so that its more likely to sexually reproduce. Its precisely the opposite of random.

You can never say never, but I personally believe that evolution by natural selection is a more likely cause of how we are than intelligent design

But then I kicked out of church for being a bad influence on my christian friends and eventually their families made them stop talking to me, then with all the difficulties we just lost contact, so I might be more partial to a non church method

I will never quit and i live a pretty happy life. I have many reasons to believe in Jesus christ. He has helped me so much in life that i don't think i will ever doubt in him.

Why?

I never believed in Pascal's Gambit and it bothered me to no end that so many followed in its example.

Wager... Just nitpicking!

EDIT Although according to wiki it can be called a Gambit as-well, so the more you learn!

Question, isn't buddhism just a teaching, a way of life, philosophy..etc, and not a belief in a higher being. From what I remember, it just teach you to do good in life, such as help others, a human moral instead of a belief in a supernatual being.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

This is why some people debate calling Buddhism a religion, it's more of a way of life. It's very inspirational. You have to find your own path by meditating, questioning and reflecting on various things. It is a nice way of being spiritual and better yourself without worshipping any higher beings.

Or certain people practise Buddhism with their own religion. It can go hand in hand with other things.

@ Topic: I can't really add anything, I've never been religious but I did my own research and no religion ever made sense to me. The only thing I did, was have my own morals that I follow and learned a few things from Buddhism. Meditation helps with my anxiety.

LOL... I knew a girl that was kicked out of church. Then again they did that 'cause she accidentaly set a priest on fire. I think he got a restraining order against her.

I can't say that I got kicked out of a church, but I was asked to leave 4 times.
