Believers and non-believers, what can we agree on?

It's funny, but I had absolutely no intention of getting involved with this forum, and now I find that I am hooked and I like it! This is a global, free, very democratic, anonymous form of entertainment, and I don't know of another place where so many people are talking about these matters about God, Jesus, spirituality, etc. What we've got here is a collection of our consciousnesses, and we all get to say what we're really thinking without any fear of punishment! Is that cool or what? I also think that information and ideas have power, and I think that we should consider the possibility that what we're doing in these back-and-forths might have some meaning. Or, is this all just an accident that happened because of evolution? Hey, it would take more of my faith to believe that than it takes to believe in God. Anyway, I'm just pointing these things out, and I can't say that know what to do from here.

OK, folks, have at it!

    Not a lot, since there is a great deal of disagreement among believers about even the basics of their various faiths. Nevertheless I will take a stab at it.

    We are alive.

    We will die.

    Love is a good thing.

    Hate is a bad thing.

    Some things in life are beautiful.

    Somethings in life are ugly.

    Some things in life we will enjoy.

    Some things in life we will abhor.

    Some things in life we will remember fondly.

    Some things in life we will regret.

    Some will live long lives.

    Some will have very short ones.

    We all live on the same world.

    We are all responsable for our actions.

    Everything else is subject to disagreement.

    BTW: Evolution is not an "accident". No one believes that life, the Earth, or the universe is an "accident".

    Nice try, Robert. I don't usually try to answer when there are already so many answers ahead of me. Some people ARE picking up on Your idea, and i hope it starts to snowball.

    1 - We share this planet. Let's give Earth a little love!

    2 - We are messing it up and need to get busy cleaning up after ourselves!

    That is MY major gripe, but i have a lot more. Bright Blessings, Robert.

    That, no matter how good they seem during the season, it takes an even more ridiculous amount of faith to believe that the Cubs will win the series than that so magical being created the universe.

    I'm sure we ALL can agree on that.

    that neither school has any empirical proof for the prime premise, the very core of each's belief paradigm, the original action, and that BOTH must believe in that which cannot be seen, reasoned, or mathematically proven

    We believe in the thought that we all disagree with the others philosophy and beliefs. What we can't agree on is doing it without the rudeness.

    It is not matter of agreement. It is matter of respecting each other.

    we are human and we have feeling. Don't like to be the one whom get hurt so don't try to hurt other.

    Each one of us entitle to believe what we want. We should not against each other because of different believe. We should not have bad attitude toward other because they have different believe than we do.

    What we should do is respecting each other believe and learn from each other. we are very unique and we are very different.

    We can probably all agree that this forum is an interesting site in which to participate. And, beyond that, I doubt that there is much of anything.

    Yes, it's fun to debate.... I think we all can agree on that..

    And before I read the details of your question I was thinking of something else we might agree on... "I Am." I think that both believers and non-believers can agree on that.
