Food For Thought
First, read from top to bottom and see whether this applies to YOU:-
An Atheist's View On Life
I will live my life according to these beliefs
God does not exist
It is just foolish to think
That there is a God with a cosmic plan
That an all-powerful God brings redemption and healing to the pain and suffering in this world
Is a comforting thought, however
It
Is only wishful thinking
People can do as they please ... without eternal consequences
The idea that
I am deserving of hell
Because of sin
Is a lie ... meant to make me a slave to those in power
"The more you have, the happier you will be"
Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose
In a world with NO God
There is freedom to be who I want to be
But with God
Everything is fine
It is ridiculous to think
I am lost and in need of saving
A Christian's View On Life
Now, from bottom to top and make up your own minds.
Go on ... there's "NO catch" ; nor is it my intention to debate the content ... ... I just felt this article was worth sharing and ... like the thread title implies ...
... food for thought!

Yes ... and the best thing is, it can be interpreted in whichever way the reader chooses according to his/her personal beliefs.
... pleasure's mine, Phil.
Thank YOU for the rep, my friend ... I see it's even gained me another bronze star in the process!

Clever, but as an Atheist those views are not necessarily mine.

I think God is to adults is what Santa Claus is to kids and I think if people looked at religion logically without bias, they'd see it in a different light. The trouble is that most can't because it's been drummed into them from an early age and they won't accept any other explanation. It's especially difficult in countries like the Philippines because the majority of people think the same way, so it's hard to believe in anything else.
I personally believe there is some other being, but not this wonderful God, and this being has been manipulated to control the population by putting 'the fear of God' into people so to speak.
I believe in prayer though but that's because my prayers have been answered numerous times so I'm more inclined to believe in a guardian angel than this God who is meant to be so powerful and great that he lets people suffer in poverty and the like.

So you class yourself as Agnostic as opposed to Atheist then Jamie

Pure brainwashing, practically from birth.
Totally at odds with science and logic too.
Add to that...a track record of prejudice, conflict, war, death and horror.

I believe in evolution, that answers it all to me. With reference to the Philippines, they believe in wizards, witches, ghosts, god and anything anyone tells them!
