That is all according to your beliefs. I agree with rickerslad that we are not tools but human beings. The answers you give make me sad because you guys are okay with that. But you are free to believe what you want. I just don't want people talking to me like that is the only truth. I would prefer if you said, "I believe that you are God's property and he can do anything he wants with you." rather than, "You are God's tools so he can do whatever he wants with you."

Do you see the difference in approach?

Yeah, we could do what we want, as long as it's also what God wants. I love how people think they have a choice when the only other option is torture/death. Some choice, we're just hostages.



Really? That's fair. F*ck how I feel right? F*ck what makes me happy right? As long as God is happy, who really gives a shit, right?


It may be that there are things that make you happy [woman, music, excessive eating] but the human CAN be satisfied within the limits given to him. One woman in marriage is enough, a small plate is enough to satisfy you, etc

What exactly is it that you feel anyways?

I believe that God is the Master;humans, animals, and everything else are his slaves/servants; we do the best we can to please him and follow his commands, and he will give us what we want and if not, we'll be punished if we don't listen to our master

Teenage Atheist sounds like the name of a sitcom.

I know right. Like the real housewives of new jersey. xD

That's more like it, lady.

Damn straight. You are my God. All hail Rikerslade and his awesome advice on women! :snick:

Apparently I want to break you the f*ck in half is not an acceptable way to tell a girl she's attractive.

To be honest, I believe in God, but the NFL is on Sundays so I don't go to church. I am a pretty decent person and I feel as if I do good in life, so God will like me or let me in heaven.

Yeah, that's no problem. I'm fine with having some guidelines. But when it turns into an entire rulebook of stuff to live my life by, I get pissed because life should be about the experience. Experience and form your OWN ideals, your OWN beliefs, your OWN ways of being a decent person. What's the point of being alive if I have to do something based on what makes someone else happy instead of me?

But really, are God's rules that bad? Thou shall not kill? Honor your father and mother? Be humble? Don't cheat on your spouse? Those are basic guides to morality, not shackles that chain you to God.

Nah, it's pretty normal, aside from the 5 prayers I offer daily, the fasting I occasionally go through, and the recitation of the Quran from time to time and all that Islamic stuff

It's my own thoughts, hence the "I believe". Why do you ask?

I have no problem with that. I'm monogamous anyway, I think cheating is atrocious and I honor my parents, though I'm having problems with my dad. What I have a problem with is the notion that God will punish me if I don't please him the way he wants. I have a problem with God's tyrant ways.
