Wish someone could offer me proof of God's existance

[c00per]

I have no idea how Jesus did it, or what he did.

But if you want to talk about the laying of hands, I saw this show with this dude Benny Hinn and he took some lady who was paralyzed and made her walk!

Benny Hinn -- Bwhahahahaha!!

Oh that guy is a great laugh.
I always love it when some great big fat cripple gets up on the stage and about 4 or 5 guys get behind her, cause you know what's going to happen next. I saw a documentary on him exposing all the scams he is into. He still manages to pack all the lemmings in for every show though. He was raking in something like $400 000 per show. Great hair too, lol.

As to the Jesus guy walking on the water bit --- ICE.
Making the blind see --- maybe they just had something in their eye.
Making the crippled walk --- maybe just a dead leg, I sometimes get those if I sit wrong.
Turning water into wine --- add a grape, shake well, serve.

If he was a carpenter then don't you think there would be some kind of plaque on a house somewhere that says built by Jesus. Gotta be a great selling point. But there isn't. Not even a spice rack with his name on the back.

It all comes down to 100 000 lemmings jumping off a cliff, not because it is the right thing to do but because all the ones in the back believe that the one at the front knows what he is doing.

so you gave up? why? giving up or saying been there done that is giving up! Also did the guy you heard about cut through the sternum to get the heart out or did he just touch him and his problems were relieved? big difference

I don't buy the whole "if you search with all your heart you'll find him" BS.

How do you tell the difference between a placebo and the real thing? Isn't it odd that the majority of people who become christians (who weren't born into it) are in bad places in their lives and are desperately searching for an answer. The mind is capable of believing anything if you try hard enough.

Much like Lestat, I'm also a former christian. I pretty much dedicated the early years of my life to serving something which I now realize, was entirely fabricated by my own mind. I even stopped masturbating for a whole year because I thought it was sinful. Now that's some fucking dedication.

Seriously though, I felt incredibly free when I "quit" God.

No faith = No God

Faith is not based on logical proof, it is belief in the intangible therefore without faith God can not exist.

great post man, you and I think alike.

I guess it all really depends on finding a workable definition of God

 

[Prince K]

Do you believe in what comes around goes around?
if so..isn't that a indirect act of God?

 

[Freddie de Lux]

Opiate of the masses is right... seriously I only ever wanted proof... like real profof.

Don't we all? There is no proof. My advice is for you to believe in it if it makes you feel good. Believe in it as an energy if you don't want to believe in it as a miraculous force. Whatever form and description you choose, I think it is important to believe that there is more than the flesh. But I do not think you will find proof. I like to believe that the proof in my life are the tasks and obstacles and lessons that I keep learning, and friends and family. Don't despair if you're going through a difficult moment. Talk it out - here, PM me, a therapist, a friend...

you have as much chance of a life after death as my cat
and I have three

Jesus? anyone remember him, or are all "stories" about him false?

it falls under the 'telephone game thoery'.

believing that god has some sort of control over what we do or what happens in our world. doesn't make sense. if he can pop in and out of the world doing what he pleases to make things happen.. why doesn't he stop all the wars, and hate in the world????
and don't give me that shit about how god works in mysterious ways
