I agree too, a life is sin is fun for awhile but then someday you find yourself in a very dark place, and I think there is only one way out of that darkness and into the light again. Praise the Lord. I know it sounds corny to some, it did to me once too, but He really changes your life, and he always forgives you when you fall and take your time coming back to Him. |

Clearly, these soldiers are sinners arent they? 10 years from now, your children will be brainwashed to wage more wars on innocent lives as a result of 9/11. They will by then be in support of evil and deaths. I bet they will also be regarded as a sinful generation even though they are being manipulated? |

Even though you didn't address the question without bringing in your twist of what you want things to be but aren't in reality, I will leave it at that for now. So, lets follow your thought process for a second. You said its the soldiers choices for going to war and that they are sinning by doing such. Do you agree with me that if these soldiers exhibited their choices and chose wisely not to go to war and all wars stopped, do you realise that the bible prophecies of wars would not happen and that will make the bible not come true? Do you realise that you also contribute/participate in the wars and are equally as guilty as the soldiers, only this time through the payment of your taxes? So the bible says there will be wars and the soldiers are playing their part in fulfilling this prophecy, which will sadly lead them to hell, and truly when you look at it, it is contradictory to what you said about they having choices because they in fact have absolutely no choice but fulfilling their part in what was written before they were born. So here is my question: These soldiers choices have been made for them before they were born and these choices will lead them to hell and they have no choice but to play their roles - remember, anything other than playing those roles will make the bible not come true. However some people have no option to change their roles and their final destination but you somehow feel you can alter your predestined role and your final destination? Am I making sense here? |

Love does not NEED blood to love and forgive, it simply does. Nor does it use fear to get what it desires. You've been suckered into believing God is something other than it is. And for what it's worth, I feel MORE in control of my life now than I ever used to as a Christian. I have the choice to do something or not now sexually or otherwise depending on what my desire is at that time. Before I always felt I HAD to do this or that out of fear of God and hell, but once I let go of that, I became free and the guilt and shame I once had went away. It's a freedom you just can't have if you are constantly worrying about what God thinks. I would wish that on all of you, to experience that one day. Once you do, you'll never wanna go back to how you once were believe me. I may make my mistakes I may have my flaws, but I am in total control of my life now, and have freedom I never had or felt I had when I was religious. Knowing God loves you no matter what you do, and isn't gonna condemn you even if you make bad choices makes a huge difference. When you do something out of fear, it's not really self control nor genuine, simply because fear is present. And in the end you are doomed to fail, because you are still focusing on what NOT to do instead of actively making a choice for yourself to do something or not based on what works for you. I know that was the case for me. I never once succeeded in staying away from what I thought I had to stay away from, because I never truly wanted to, I just felt I had to. When you realize you have complete control of yourself and your life and what you want to make out of it, your perception changes. Religion binds, spirituality frees.

Always remember, ultimately, to never follow any person's belief. Your relationship with God is between you and God.

If people could grasp this, religion's power would be severely lessened, because people would understand that it's not the only place God is. As it is I think people are waking up to that anyway, but if more did it'd be even moreso. You can't find God in a church. You need to meditate |

Love does not NEED blood to love and forgive, it simply does. Nor does it use fear to get what it desires. You've been suckered into believing God is something other than it is. And for what it's worth, I feel MORE in control of my life now than I ever used to as a Christian. I have the choice to do something or not now sexually or otherwise depending on what my desire is at that time. Before I always felt I HAD to do this or that out of fear of God and hell, but once I let go of that, I became free and the guilt and shame I once had went away. It's a freedom you just can't have if you are constantly worrying about what God thinks. I would wish that on all of you, to experience that one day. Once you do, you'll never wanna go back to how you once were believe me. I may make my mistakes I may have my flaws, but I am in total control of my life now, and have freedom I never had or felt I had when I was religious. Knowing God loves you no matter what you do, and isn't gonna condemn you even if you make bad choices makes a huge difference. When you do something out of fear, it's not really self control nor genuine, simply because fear is present. And in the end you are doomed to fail, because you are still focusing on what NOT to do instead of actively making a choice for yourself to do something or not based on what works for you. I know that was the case for me. I never once succeeded in staying away from what I thought I had to stay away from, because I never truly wanted to, I just felt I had to. When you realize you have complete control of yourself and your life and what you want to make out of it, your perception changes. Religion binds, spirituality frees. You are completely lost. Nope you are totally wrong, I never was, you never were, NO ONE is. We are ALL perfect for our purpose, and we will ALL go back to God when it's over. Without fail. No one is perfect. A babe before walking will first stumble and fall many times but NEVER gives up until he succeeds. Always remember, ultimately, to never follow any person's belief. Your relationship with God is between you and God. If nothing else, remember this: religion = subservience, control and conformity, the same template as EVERY government "Most believers would kill truth if truth threatened their religion." L. K. Washburn "This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." Robert Ingersoll "If anyone wants to know how God feels, it's a warm light as if the sun is poking through dark clouds and lifting your spirits with pure joy." |

When you realize you have complete control of yourself and your life and what you want to make out of it, your perception changes. Religion binds, spirituality frees. I feel you ajk. I share your experiences before and after too. If I have any reason to be christian, I have as much reason to be muslim or buddhist and since neither of those other religions appeal to me simply because I wasnt indoctrinated into them, I also fight freeing myself from the bonds of christianity. I narrowed down my belief to the simple fact of the location I was born and figured out that had I been born elsewhere other than a christian family, I would be practicing the religious ideologies and since I had no say in where I was born when coming to planet earth, I chose not to adopt any religion as my own as there is really no basis for my beliefs/religion other than my place of birth. That's more or less it. And people have to understand too, God is NOT so limited that it can't reach you in other religions also. People always want to assume that they found God because of WHERE they looked, not because they looked at all. All you have to do to find God is look, seek and you shall find as the saying goes. Doesn't matter where, a church, a mosque, in nature, etc, if you look you WILL find God. If people could grasp this, religion's power would be severely lessened, because people would understand that it's not the only place God is. As it is I think people are waking up to that anyway, but if more did it'd be even moreso. You can't find God in a church. You need to meditate You can find God ANYWHERE, if you look. It matters not where. No one is perfect. A babe before walking will first stumble and fall many times but NEVER gives up until he succeeds.
