If anything, man needs God because I believe it's a slippery slope if we believe by and large that we're the top of everything, on every subject, on every matter.

Man needs someone or something to be subservient to. A set of ideals that are respectable by anyone. Man needs to remain humble and not become too ambitious. Man needs to slow down sometimes and think about cause & effect.

I attended services almost every Sunday for about ten years. In that, I was taught to respect my fellow man and follow my conscious. I was also taught to forego naivety, and always be alert. There are many paths that can lead to evil or your undoing, and no man, even a religious one, no matter how old or wise, is not exempt from this.

Anyone can lose their way. There's a lot of darkness. Sometimes it is hard to avoid it.

But it is good to know that if you fall, there is always God to pick you back up.

When do we fall? All of the time.

I get what you are saying, albeit from a Buddhist view of it, although I believe that if people do something bad that they should get punished and have a chance to redeem themselves, which I think Christianity and other monotheistic religions just believe that bad people will be sent to hell or another similar punishment which is forever. but to me it just doesn't seem right to exclude someone from their religion because they happen to be homosexual or not. I believe that people are not always bad, as people tend to be more complex than that, that there is a grey in between the black and white and everyone is in the grey. I guess what i am trying to say is that if there was a god would he/she not give another chance to us or be less cruel to someone who believed something else but overall led a good life or someone who led a great life but was gay?? those are some reasons why i didn't like Christianity or some of the other monotheistic religions.

I'm an Athiest but not the bigoted faggot ones, but if any Religion is being stupid well I'll make a comment about it.



This is wrong in many levels. Also I fucking despise the WestBoro Church.

You just completely ignored everything I said and treated me like some stereotypical Christian who believes the Bible as literal as it gets.

And my stands religiously are i don't fucking know whats up there Space dumbass it could be god or budda or whatever the fuck muslims believe in. I highly doubt anyone knows a guy that knows a guy that has an uncle thats bros with god and knows the whole scoop on the afterlife. So it can as easily be that a divine being created the universe as that some helium in space had bad gas and started creating planets.
