So.....I see there are controversies. Well, first of all, I'm not trying to push you into beliving God or anything but there are just few points of mine that's been attacked by Xanatic that I would like to clarify. (My English is not too good, so forgive me)

I would agree with Xanatic fully that religions are the cause of most wars, sources have proved that. Many religious leaders claim they are following the bible in loving one another when the fact is they are actually encouraging people to war. However, this does not mean that God and the bible has failed but rather it shows that most religions today don't REPRESENT God.

Xanatic also pointed the bible says there is no God. By saying this....it seems to me that you have not even read the bible yourself!!???? Very clearly the first sentence of the bible says "in the beginning God created the earth" Gen 1:1 (check it yourself). On the other hand, Proverbs (I forgot what chap. and verse but I could find it later on) says " The foolish one has said there is no God" So are you telling me that the bible contradicts itself, Xanatic?

You may notice that I always put the bible as a basis. There are many evidence to prove that the bible was written by the Creator. To tell you all of it would take 30 pages. And there are also many eveidence that a creator exists. Look at the world around you, the universe even ourself, human feelings etc. You can see the PRECISE way we are made. Could these have jsut come about by chance? Give you an example. We see a chair. We don't say it came by accident AND We don't deny the designer of the chair exists although we can't see him or know him. So why doubt that there is no designer of human bings and the earth when we see it right in front of our eyes, working so wonderfully and precisely??? Even scientists nowadays have to admit that there must be a powerful source behind all of this.

So if you guys are convinced that the bile is from God, you will see that God has a purpose in mind for humans here on earth ....if you have looked at it and study it, that is. And not judging it right away when you haven't. Well, I mentioned 2 scriptures on previous messages. And very clearly Xanatic, I wrote that it was on EARTH that righteousness is to dwell not on heaven, so maybe you haven't read it properly. You see, when God created the earth at the beginning, everything was perfect and even Adam and Eve would not have to die, but they disobeyed God in thinking that they, humans could rule for themselves. So now God is just allowing time to let humans prove if they could rule/govern themselves. What has been the result? Look at the world around you. Badness, isn't it? But God is not gonna leave humans like this forever esp. for the good ones, he will go back to his original purpose PARADISE HERE ON EARTH FOREVER as it were it the time of Adam and Eve before they disobeyed him. So yes, beliving in God will make the earth a better place. Technology will not as look at how much destruction and problems it has already caused So this is all, if you guys want to learn more about this, everything is there in the bible.

So I at least I've put out my reasons and maybe now I will not seem so "silly" after all, as Xanatic said.
