Why do you need to build outrageously expensive temples? We are living stones which are being used to build his temple! The Body of Christ (us) is the temple.

You believe God and Jesus are completely separate beings. The bible clearly says that In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Jesus said when you have seen me you have seen the father.

Jesus, Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

I AM the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me

I and my Father are one. John 10:30

I could go on and on with those.

Also, the bible warns that even the devil can come as an angel of light to deceive even the elect.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets (Smith), and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.

It is blatantly obvious that Joseph Smith made up everything in the Book of Mormon. He copied bits from the bible and made it his own work of fiction. The man was obviously delusional and a con man.

Joseph said he saw two personages, Well there is only one, it is Jesus and he is glorified by the Father. God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. Jesus Is surrounded by unapproachable light.

The bible says While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. We are created in God's image, God is light in spirit. When we die we will become children of light, spiritual bodies "made" of light.

There are not three levels of Heaven, there is only one. Those who call upon the Lord from their heart will be saved. No temple rituals, tithing, secret handshakes, or works can get you to heaven. Only through Christ, not Smith. Obviously the bible says there will be rewards for things, but nothing buys you into heaven. Your debt has been paid by Jesus, all you need to do is follow him and accept him.

Is it possible to come back as another life form by chance (after death)? Obviously you would have no recollection of a previous existence.

I mean what decided my consciousness? If my parents didn't have me, then would another set of parents have me? Why am I me? Who do I have consciousness? Why am I not a bird?

WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!?!?!??!?!!??!??!!

I would like to hear your opinions because really that's all they will be.

If you traveled to a galaxy that is 31 million light years away at the speed of light then you would arrive there instantly but 31 million years would have passed on Earth?

I understand that in order for the speed of light to be achieved there cannot be any mass, imagine if that were possible though.

I will make the first photon ship. Ohhhh yes *gazing aimlessly at my wall*

Would anyone like to donate for the cause?

Curious if they will factor in both degrees or the most relevant?

Will Jesus visit Mars and the other space inhabitants or will they be left alone?

I have come to the conclusion that religion is man-made and not real. I am content with that, I feel strongly about it. But, I was much happier when I was a believer. Now I am so confused. It's hard to explain unless you've gone through this I guess. I've been agnostic/atheist for almost a year.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Does this anxiety and confusion ever stop? I guess my confusion comes from a part of me wanting to still believe but I know that I really can never go back to that prior state of thinking...

I have. It's like it's the place I truly belong.

I feel at peace and alive and cared for. No anxieties.

when your girlfriend expects you to pay for everything? Basically she is a monogamous prostitute, these are even worse than poly-prostitutes because they are like a leach that siphon money and life out of the host (boyfriend).

Girls are cleverly evil.

Are there any atheists/agnostics out there that don't believe in faith but go to church for the social aspect of it?

It'd be interesting to know.

Then I guess you are in hell right now!

Tell me how this makes any sense,

god makes salvation depend on believing in him on absolutely no evidence. Billions of people with no fault of their own are born into a different religion where they believe just as strongly as you, and maybe even have a stronger belief than you in their faith. Just because they don't believe in something they are going to suffer eternal hellfire? What a horrible, cruel, and psychopathic god.

There have been thousands of confident religions and ideologies throughout the ages, there is no reason to hold christianity to truth. It will one day be considered mythology just as all religions of past.

Does anyone have a good argument to counter what I am saying? This is just one of many many things I could pick out to show you idiocy of this type of faith.

I like listening to Christian music. Is that weird?

According to the Big Bang Theory all mass in the universe was concentrated in an area as small as a pin print. It was spinning and the energy was so intense it exploded in an unimaginable event giving birth to the elements and life as we know it.

Is it possible that the universe goes through cycles of death and rebirth? I read that the big bang event may happen every 100 billion years after all matter in the universe goes back to that black hole singularity.

At every rebirth (big bang) can the elements and matter align themselves exactly like before? If this is possible then life as we know it on Earth could be repeated. In this case it may be possible for "you" to be born again as a human or some sort of life form. Maybe the universe has a sort of blue print that it follows.

Interesting to think about.

Curious

Let's say the answer is out there, the truth if there is a god or not a god. What if you could find that truth... having evidence that there is no god.

Would you rather keep living in your dream world or would you want to look at the evidence suggesting there is no god, as well as come to terms that there is not a shred of evidence that god exists?

What is your choice? A fantasy or a reality?

God is not a loving God. Just because I don't believe in him when there is no evidence I will burn in hell? This does not sound like a loving God. Think about that for a minute.

Read the Bible and you will realize that humans wrote it. It makes absolutely no sense most of the time and it is filled with hate. You have to cherry pick the "nice"stuff.

Just as Greek theology turned to mythology, the same will be the case for Christianity one day.

I literally cannot decide. Anyone own any of these? I am going to buy one of them.

I am about to marry Nikon or Canon. This is a big decision for me!!!!!!

Think about it. We go to a building to workout. Most of the time it is to stay in shape, some people train for like boxing or whatever that's understandable. But for the people who just do it to stay in shape (me included) it's basically like an artificial way to stay in shape.

Wouldn't it make more sense to live a lifestyle that involves things that keep you in shape? Outside in the real world! No need to go to a gym to workout to stay in shape.

It's extremely embarrassing to know there are people out there who spread propaganda about this plant. It's a joke it's still illegal. Thousands of people die a year from taking pharmaceutical drugs that are "legal." These drugs are chemically engineered in a laboratory, these are synthetic substances. A plant that has killed no one is illegal, that makes no freaking sense. Sure you should consult your doctor when you start medicating with this plant just like you would if you started taking vitamins. But to have the government tell you what you can and cannot put into your body is completely absurd and a violation of personal liberties. Sure there should be regulations, just like there is on the safe drug alcohol... oh wait alcohol poisoning kills thousands a year and is considered a hard drug, again it makes no sense. The mentality of some people is just absolutely ridiculous.

The gateway drug argument... and I guess deer hunting is the gateway to serial mass murder? The problem with the gateway argument is this...who in their craziest minds would want to smoke battery acid. All those other drugs are DEADLY, meth, cocaine, heroin.... so on and so forth. It's the person's personality that would make them want to try different drugs... not the plant. Why do I know this? Because me and everyone I know have NEVER had the desire to do so, we know the dangers and are educated. Smoking herb doesn't make you want to do hard drugs, that's just a flat out lie.

This plant is natural and grows in nature, it's not poisonous. Of course when you burn something you create carcinogens but there are healthier means to enjoy this great plant.

Making this legal would create amazing revenue and help many great programs in this country. Regulating this would decrease the crime rate and get a TON of potentially dangerous drug dealers off the street. (Cartels would be pissed) Drug dealers don't want it to become legal, they would lose all of their business and power.

A Hemp industry would just be amazing... unbelievable amount of uses... I cannot believe hemp is illegal even more so than Marijuana, it contains basically no THC.

After 70 some years of the government bashing this herb the truth is finally starting to come out. With the invention of the internet and the availability of information you no longer have to sit in front of a TV and swallow all the garbage coming from mainstream media, all lies. Trust me the government wishes the internet was never born... for many different reasons not just this one (obviously). Sadly there are a lot of sheeple who sit and watch Fox News and believe everything without doing their own research. But do not despair my friends, that day is coming to an end.

There is a lot of money to be made in the drug war..... corrupt politicians will do anything to keep it going. The feds don't support any research into the plant, it's basically illegal to do any. Universities have wanted to do studies but the government has denied them. Why do you think this? Very very strange.

I rest my case

And what are your views?
