Colonel32 this is kind of funny because it seems to me u saw sci-fi channel yesterday because this was exactly one of the things brought up and it used exactly what you said. What they were saying though was : Every person is born with goal in life. They don't even know it until they get there. If a brand new baby this hour was born it already has its future set to the goal. If something was to happen before you got to your goal you would re crenate into another baby and start your life all over again same goal. The same things in life are going to happen to you again but in a different way for example say you didn't get to your goal in 1970 because you died. You now live in the future same problems you have will occur but you have a choice weather to stop it or not. Its just a matter of taking the right steps to stop. Other then that we live life over and over and we don't even know it. You could be awake today and dead tomorrow no one knows how human life works.

This going to sound crazy, but here's my "religious" thoughts.... I think our lives are trial runs.... K, don't laugh.... I think our "lives" are a trial run if we screw it up enough we are sent back to try it again through re-incarnation(people can recall several lives under hypnotism). But if we are sent back to try again we are not the same person the second time around. The "person we were" is lost forever to our families and friends on the other side, this is the punishment or "hell". You wife/parent/identity is lost forever When you are reincarnated you are someone different, with a different family etc... yet the same "person" to some degree. When you manage do all the right things over the course of your live then you "cross over" to join your family and friends who have made it to the other side. I think the other side is whatever you make it, if you follow orthodox religious views then you will be with god, if you don't then you will be in the afterlive... I think heaven is what you make of it but it is a place to reunite with your lost loved ones and this is the ultimate reward... Sounds crazy but if you listen to all the people in the world who "talk to the dead" they seem to support my theory :LET THE LAUGHTER INSUE

I don't really know much about it, but I think that's somewhat similar to Hindu beliefs.  So, are you Hindu?

colonel, since the rate of birth is highter than the rate of death... where do all the new people come from in your beliefs.. I'm very curious about this one.

LMAO, I don't know really.... a better question would be where did the first batch start... I guess I could say that for everyone person that goes to heaven two new lives are created.... hahaha... would that answer the question, seriously all of this is a question none of us have an answer to and never will I suppose.

I didn't see it, but this is actually a somewhat popular belief. Of course there is devations of each theory but the thesis is basically the same about explaining reincarnations. I actually first learned of this from a pastor that lived next door to me several years ago when I was asking him why there were such devations and revisions throughout the years of westernized religion.

My whole deal with orthodox religion is they are all so different, so which one is right... The Quran(or Koran) says Jesus was a prophet and scoffs at the thought Jesus was Gods son... Judaism follows the old testament... there are seven books that are in the catholic bible but not in the protestant bible... law vs grace.... I just think if you look at ALL the scripture as a whole it's completely hermeneutic so you must take your own conclusions from each work and choose to apply it to your life

If anyone has studied theology I would compare it to convenant and dispensationalism beliefs

Atheist here.


Another thing i would like to mention that i was in no way aware of and i find it quite sad.

I have plenty of methodist/catholic/etc. friends and i have often gone to church with them, but while i was at their church(es), i could see that half(if not more) could not give a flying fuck what the preacher/minister/etc. had to say. (even adults) cut up, talked the whole time, and made jokes in the middle of a sermon. I was polite enough to dress up and be quiet and actually listen the whole time. What i got out of the sermon was, ways to better live your and those around you lives. The sheer absurdity of some of these grown people almost enraged me because those same people, always talk of their great belief and how they trust the holy savior, but do not even have the common courtesy to shut up and listen for 3 hours.

Flame away.

I think of god as a piece of shit hanging off my ass.

By the way, whoever said scientology is a religion in a previous post is an idiot. They don't believe in a god, only John Travolta. If you watch that shitty Battlefield Earth movie, thats actually what they believe will happen.

Im an athiest.

I agree with you about the god thing. I am not gonna follow a bunch of bullshit and waste my sundays to go learn about someone who never existed.

[Raver758]

Hey if you don't believe in god that's fine but there's no need to flame it because of what you believe show some respect for it.
