    I didn't tell you what your belief is, you told what your beleif is. Don't get mad at me because I broke down what you said. That's what people do on message boards.

    Look, if you follow a religion and you truly believe, then the other religions are wrong, plain and simple. That's why I could never follow a certain religion. i would have to believe that everyone besides people in my religion are going to hell. Now, that is arrogant since there is no concrete proof that one certain religion is the true religion.

    I would label myself as agnostic. I think there may be some supreme being that we haven't quite figured out just yet. Then again, I don't think about it that much, so there you go.

    I don't think God powers my car, but I'm pretty sure it's the devil that keeps fucking it up.

    Sup Nut- There are theories but it hasn't been proven why they exist or how they were made and I've seen you at work in NOTD, I don't want to argue with you. :worried:

    Barry- I disagree with you that if you are one religion, that the others are all wrong. I believe that is one of the biggest problems with organized religion. If you had read what I have written you would see we agreed that there is no proof that one religion is THE religion. But, that doesn't mean I don't believe in God. I have a hard time believing some of the most devout, loving, honest people I have met whom are muslim or jewish will go to hell because they don't believe Jesus Christ was the saviour. That's hard for me to accept- I struggle with it.

    Ice- I pray every day, have read the bible less in the last few years than ever, and I attend church infrequently as I haven't joined a church since I moved to Charlotte, only visit. But, this wasn't supposed to be about me.

    Bootay- no one could be sorrier the tech forum is closed then I. I do agree that agnostics/atheists use that as their biggest argument that people who believe in God take the easy way out. I don't know the answers, that's why I'm asking. If you will take note- no one has even come close to answering how they personally explain the unexplainable, they've only explained what faults they have found in my wording.

    I believe in God- it's not a test, there won't be a finish line until I die- but it's an ongoing process. I am the first to admit I'm a little wishy washy in my thinking still. I was raised by a mother who was a very strict Baptist that never missed church, using God as the reasoning for her every move, and a father who had to know how the zipper worked before he would zip his pants. He believed nothing until he had studied until he could teach it. I am a product of my environment. Cut me some slack.
    I would still like to see some answers here though.

    I believe that man is the highest form of animal life on this planet... most of the time. A brain to use with an opposable thumb came in handy and put us at the top of the food chain. I think it is ego and being aware that we are going to die eventually that brings about contemplation of a higher being. All other animals do not realize they are going to die so they have no need for a God. Shirley we must be more that just an animal with a more developed brain. Otherwise we are just fooling ourselves with our George Foreman grills and message boards ;)

    How do we explain the unexplainable? We don't believe it is unexplainable, we just haven't figured it out yet. I think you've had that answer numerous times already...
