I can't help but think that heavens reign is getting close. In Mathew 24 Jesus speaks of the world now in its current state and He says that just as we see a fig tree budding and know summer is about to arrive so we should know also that we being the generation that sees these things would not pass away before the coming of the Son of Man.

No, religion is bulshit.

How can there be a god when there's so many bad things happening in the world?

2 Points I have

1) no matter what you have done God will always forgive your sins?

2) God is all mighty, all knowing, and all powerful; yet the churches need money to operate. So basically God can do anything except have enough money.

I am not sure, but learn toward yes. I do not think it is the Christian god. I do not like that religion very much at all.

The church is man's interpretation of how we should praise God...not God himself. Organized religion has way too many rules.

yea I agree. Churches are social gatherings and even arguable the governments attempt at social control

I don't feel it's necessary for me to go into detail, and that's what I pulled off the back of my head. America was founded on Christianity, but it's a person's constitutional right to have freedom of religion. I used to get in trouble in school for now standing for the pledge. Don't get me wrong, I'm very patriotic, I even have a Bald Eagle and our Red White and Blue tattooed on my arm, but i didn't stand because it says "One nation under God". I think that contradicts our right to choose religions, and religion shouldn't be spoke about in public schools.

think about it like this you came out your moms snatch and she came out some other snatch, and somewhere way before the original snatch was GOD who created the first snatch. (eve) so yeah its ****ing weird that its a big pool of ****** going on if this theory is true but ether way its a good thing .as far as crime and bad thing that going to happen because we are humon and every one has different views in life. i cant put it much easier i guess but yeah . its just my belief

There was no Eve in the biblical sense. This much has been proven.

I just don't believe that whatever god exists is as involved in our lives as religion seems to suggest. If, as the bible says, we were created in God's image, I think it's much more likely that our existence is just one big experiment for funsies.

I stopped going to church when I was about 12. I couldn't stand the bullshit talk about how "You are at God's disposal" and all that crap.
