a belief in God can cause positive events, and has been proven to be a biological advantage...

spiritual people live longer, and are happier, and do more... on average compared to those who dont believe in any faith

Is there a Place in Sopholand where it stays relatively cool (55-65 F?) most of the year, and snow for a couple of months, but usually not so much as to be snowed in...?
Also, Is there a house anywhere that is More basement then above ground? (There would still be windows in the basement for ventilation, however.) My house doesn't have to be huge- a fairly big kitchen, a decent sized room, a spare room or two for an office/art studio/guest room, a living room...

Doesn't mean it's right though. Left handed people live longer than right handed people.
And do more? Like what? Sit in a church praying? Covering up paedophilia in the Vatican?
Again, you don't have to be religious to be spiritual. They are happier because they are in denial.

i dont spend my time sitting in church praying, or covering up Paedophillia in the Vatican....

i do what my faith tells me to do, to the best of my ability... i help the poor and the homeless, i befriend the unwanted and outcast, and i speak out for those who have no voices...

at the end of the day, all i know is that i have found somthing, and it has changed my life for the better, and changed me for the better too...

ok there are alot of people out there who dont follow the faith as it tells us to, but how many Athiests cook up evidence and abuse the name of the scientific method?

there are sheisters everywhere... what matters is what you do with the time allotted to you.

i have chosen to uphold what i see as truth, and even if what i believe is false - if what i believe is wrong and all i do is meaningless, then i would rather follow the higher path showed in its fiction....

But you don't have to be religious to be a good person. You could be atheist/agnostic and still help the homeless.

LOL, you dont get it do you?

there is somthing within me that compels me to believe in the supernatural, and in God.

i am not religious... but i am spiritual, my view is 'the more i know, the more i realise how little i know. When i realise i know nothing, then i know everything i need to know'

I don't get how anyone can believe in a god in 2007, no. :)

So then why do you claim to see 'the truth.' Why do you have faith in this god instead of just accepting that you know nothing?

i was talking about 'religion'

as to God, i know he exists as he revealed himself to me in a way that pursuaded me, same for knowing Jesus is his son.

you can mock me if you want, but we will all find out what is truth or not eventually.

i think we should stop now, its upsetting Raph... and frankly the stuff you were coming out with yesterday made her feel like leaving WP. i know you hate the idea of God and consider people who have any kind of belief in a God as mentally derranged Idiots who arnt capable of congnitive thought, but look at how you appear....

you ar becoming as bad as the fundimental religous people you hate so much... please stop

Badly, apparently.

AftL- I don't act like fundies. I'm not trying to force you to become atheist or make out that I KNOW FOR A FACT that no god exists. I am simply discussing it with you, yes maybe I come across as very aggressive when I'm arguing with people, but I don't even realise it when I do it. I've never personally attacked you or Raph or said that I hate all Christians, so I don't see why ou think I'm being venemous or full of hate. I get pissed off yes, but so do I lot of people. And you were mocking me to by saying 'LOL you don't get it do you?' but I accepted that that was just part of the conversation.
Anyway, I thought you wanted to end this now so let's not discuss it further.
And hi Kilroy. :)
