Those people are tools... and so are most of you... believe what you will and do as you want, just remember that all actions have an opposite and equal reaction... you will suffer the consiquences of your actions eventually. Being an Athiest or a Christian or a Muslim doesn't change that. I believe in God and I believe in the sacrifice of Christ... what I don't believe in is in the words of men. I take what is known and what I believe and I balance my life in that. I am always willing to look at things in a new angle and because of that my faith doesn't shake. When a truth is reviealed I don't have a crisis... it's filed away as another stupidity of man and I adapt my faith to that truth, but only if it's undoubtedly truth... men often doctor things to fit how they want it to be seen. What I'd like you all to look at is yourself... stop looking at your stupid friends... because they don't know the truth only you can find it inside yourself... being cool isn't worth being something that you may not really be. I've been persecuted by both Athiest (go figure) and hard line Christians for my own beliefs... and if you wish to know them that's something I may be willing to share in private.

 

Why, exactly, do you feel your method of exploring views of faith are somehow better than anyone else's?  If you don't think that it is, then why are you calling other people tools for not doing it the way you go about it?  Discussions like this get people thinking, and people don't have to take everything they read as gospel...how do you know people aren't reading this and then giving it serious thought and consideration through the lens of their own personal convictions?

Sorry but that post is extremely pretentious.

 

 What did I say it was better?  It is only an option that I feel everyone should explore.  Because only you decide what you believe... it's not pretentious.  I do hope people are reading this and giving it serious thought, but it is obvious that most of the people have their set beliefs and wouldn't change them unless there was proof without a shadow of a doubt one way or the other.  YOu should look inside yourself not look at others.  The Bible or the Quran are books that no doubt hold truth and a very good guidline to how you should probably live your life and treat others, but they are still the text of men and so that why I believe that only by searching inside of yourself can you find your own truths.  It don't matter if it's diffrent from mine or anyone elses.
