    but evolution has been around for 10000000's of years, and you don't consider it valid. Witnesses include, animals, fishsticks, and human like life forms.

    That shows the invalidity of Christianity more than it shows thew validity of Scientology.

    God has no beginning and no end, he is not in the creation so time does not apply to God since he created it. Humans are created to worship, even an atheist will probably end up worshiping something - beit money, power or even himself. In islam evolution doesn't disprove God, one of the names of God is the evolver.

    no it hasn't

    thought we were assuming Scientology had all the elements of Christianity here? If they could pull off what God has pulled off then i would consider it, consider being the key word here.

    It doesn't show invalidity of Christianity it shows we have an open mind

    You would say he is on the highest vibrational level?

    Similarly my dad has certain problems, he had a heart attack in the past, and a stroke, he still smokes, smoked since he was 11 yrs old, eats unhealthy food and doesn't care, he doesn't believe in god, nor do i , so theres no prayer for him from me, but he is still here, any ideas why?

    It's good to have an open mind, just make sure your mind isn't so open that your brain falls out.

    Im not sure what you mean by vibration, but what im saying is there is no other higher then he

    My Dad was diagnosed fatal, twice. I think its a little different. Tons of people survive heart attacks. But when one of your main arteries is clogged, and another bursts while applying a stint to open it. You are supposed to die.

    The guy you quoted has a bit of a muddled understanding of God.

    Even if you didn't pray im sure you at least wanted your dad to survive, well God does things for everybody hindu, toilet paper worshiper, aithest, whatever, if God's followers were blatantly only blessed and everyone else ignored then this life wouldn't be much of a test would it?

    But God will punish those who didn't take heed of his blessings on the day of judgment. Death is not the punishment.

    That is my belief, like i find your belief laughable that we are here by some accident, it must be natural for you to find my belief laughable.

    Either way in my religion, evolution is 100% compatible.

    Wow, You better hope that you picked the right god then. I'm sure someone as petulant as a god who throws temper tantrums when people don't believe in him will be more pissed at the people who believed in a different god than the people who believed in no god.

    Actually you are right there, it is just as bad to worship falsehood than not to worship at all.

    Your statement is on the assumption that i have doubts about my religion. Which i dont. ;)

    Its like me asking you, you better hope you are right about not believing in God.

    If you have time to go back to my post about evolution, i dont state that its accidental, i state that particulr things may make it happen, but without intervention of a god, a talked of something being suspended in space.

    Its just the talk of Punishment, i apologise if i appeared rude, have you noticed one of the best forms of mind control are repetition?

    God loves all i agree. but my point is he exist, not that he favors one over the other

    up until you have been very respectfully, so i will not take offense to your laughter. But i will Say this, We are talking about God, God is not human, God is a force.

    I'm not saying you doubt it, I'm saying you better hope you are right.

    Just because you have no doubt in something doesn't mean you are incapable of error. You know believers in Hinduism, Islam and every other religion believe they are right as much as you do. The people who believed in the joojoo under the sea thought they were right as much as you do right now, maybe even more.

    So conviction doesn't equal truth. It can't because of the equal conviction demonstrated by people who believe in an entirely different god than you do. You can't all be right, Even if one of you is.

    it's not really like that at all. I have dismissed all gods. you on the other hand have said there is a god and claim to know which one, out of the thousands of gods presented, Is the real one. And you apparently are in no doubt.

    Like i say, You better hope you are right.. because if you aren't Thor is going to be mighty pissed with you.

    Exactly my point, couldn't put it better myself, that above statement applies to atheism too.

    Except the 'Thor' bit imo.
