I guess I will go with this , if there is an afterlife , a heaven and hell , I am not so sure that a toy truck chit chat fourm would be the BEST place to find aid in making an eternal decisions. Nothing but respect many incredible people in here, but chance of them bieng there when you pass away is prety slim. Church will not get you into Heaven. No churches will be there. Your good deads are as filthy rags. You cannot earn your way into heaven. Only your personal relationship with God can get you there. Every head will bow , every knee will bend. Faith. I hate how christians and churches have had the worst efects on God and salvation. Please do not base your eternal life on other people. If I have offended anyone I am truly sorry these are my believes and opinions.

Thanks for the speech but I said "YES" I believe in god and I didn't come on here to get anyone's decisions like a was seriously in doubt of the answer,I saw that video on YouTube and wanted to share it,he's basically the smartest man alive and found it very interesting how he doesn't believe in God,Heaven or Hell.

Some will bash me for this thread,some will make fun with it etc....it's all good,like I said,just wanted to see other peoples perspective on the topic

Thanks though for the talk

I believe ..... but I don't judge those who don't , however I do pray for them.

No i do not belive in any god, and i am not a member of the church of Denmark.

As history have proven religion is the root of all evil, and over time millions have died attacking or defending some religious belief.
Not counting Stalin or Hitler even tho ther political agendas was bordering religious levels.

I accept and acknowledge ppl who have a personal need for beliving in some god, but they should not force it on somebody elese, and therefor i allso have a broblem with Nations saying this or that relligion is our national religion.

Religion and affairs of state should not be mixed, but any man should practise what ever religion he want, but do so in private.

If i am going to hell,,,,,,, you are all comming with me

There is more to the story there...he was called out by the scientific community for making that statement, and later retracted it. Science does not make claims about what is not known, but there are personal opinions and theories. What was in that video was Hawkings own personal opinion, not scientifically proven fact.

No one knows what happened before the BB, nor what caused it. You can believe that God made it happen, or that it made itself happen, or a million other things. There is no evidence pointing to any specific scenario at all...

Then it will be too late.
The people you find at a toy truck forum are the same people you find in other places where you think you might find better instruction.
Not what I mea t, sorry. Eternal life is a big deal. Research a lot of outlets places find what suites you .
Good deeds are not enough on their own. Neither is praise and worship on its own. WWJD? Both.
Could not agree more.
Western religion has become perverted and twisted. Why help poor people in 3rd world countries when you can build a $5m megachurch? Now you know why the rest of the world hates us.

In part again I do agree. We have a large church building. Not compaired to some of the mega churches I got to see when I lived in texas.
We do have missions to other countries. We do send aid. We do support our troops and have local food give a ways each month. We buy Christmas for many kids locally .. much else. Please do not take this as bragging . I am mearly saying that some of those big churches do in fact do a lot to help people near and far . I also know they are there for me if I need help. Even though I attend a larger church it is like a family. Also awsome show of respect with your counter point. Class act .

[alabamaman]

Hey by the way I do also believe in bigfoot. Feel free to take all the shots you want at that.

[RANOVRU]

Belief and knowing are two entirely different affirmations. You believe in bigfoot just as you believe in a god. Only difference is theres more proof of one than the other.


Believing is just like thinking, it leaves room for doubt. Come to think of it, Ive never heard any religious fanatical claim to 'know' there is a god, only that they 'believe' there is a god.

Most churches do help others, but that wasn't really the point.

I like discussing religion and beliefs as long as they aren't troll fests.

Wait witch one ? Are you a bigfoot hunter ?

well I have but , to be fair I have met a ton of religious fanatics , but I try not to hold them against God.

I have faith that my two boys are mine.

My Friends where the rowdies ,,drug users ,,drinkers ,, fighters ,whore lovers ,, was party after party ,,Lost a few to car wrecks ,,drinking & driving,,,some to overdose..Seen lives ruined because they where taught there is no God,we evolved from monkeys
I believe in God and his son my Saviour ,I was made to believe after seeing some of my Friends ,,probably the worst cases and I was one,, being changed forever after receiving salvation and believing as Jesus as there Lord and Saviour
I seen heeling's ,, people's lives changing for the better ,family's being restored and that wasn't done by Darwin,I believe in the big bang but it took 7 days just like God Say's,,,Read his word it will change your life,,
He did what he has done for us out of love for us,Faith I didn't have but do now,,You are afraid he gonna take away your fun,,not true ,

[thecrusader]

I was hard into drugs,stealing,drink,all of it.If god helped you then thats tops,but
i realised i was being a moron so i stopped.If it takes some people to believe in
god or whatever then kudos to them.

I'm of the opinion that i have no idea about any of this.I am happy with that and know
that it is fact.I like to believe there is something else but like i said i have no idea
and no direct intention of buying into a religion as far as i see,based on bullshit.

What annoys me is people thanking god for things like the hudson plane landing.Was it
amazing?yes? i would be more likely to thank the pilot,then god.

When people say shit like i'm lost or they will prey for me,don't bother.I appreciate
your concern for my lack of religious enlightenment but i'm sure i will be fine.I'm quite
happy with my subjective common sense.

As far as heaven and hell,who knows.Hopefully whoever i go has all the bad stuff
i used to do,and some.

[wings_of_fire]

I believe in me and I believe in death.

Life is too short to be ignorant. I do not want to have that feeling in my last days that I lived on this earth like a mere mortal and that I could have done something worth for this world.

As far as god, heaven and hell goes, I was given a body made up of flesh and bones which is in its journey of life. When this journey is over I will have ample time for god, heaven and hell..


The people that believe in god, I respect your feelings.

My point was 'believing' in a god leaves room for doubt. Its no different than saying you think there is a god. You would think that religious folks that are sooo convicted wouldnt leave doubt in the equation. Of course, saying that you think there is a god is less loony sounding than actually claiming to know there is a god. However claiming to know would nullify such silly terms as 'belief' and 'faith', and conviction can often be impressive, even if misguided.

If you get a paternity test you will know. No need for faith there.
