in reference to?? and what on earth are you talking about? mormons?
I agree somewhat with your points of view, partially why I posed said questions, I know many people who believe such things but cant tell me why... all I get is some regurtitated half-assed answer, like "Just accept jesus into your heart, he died for your sins" and "are you 100% sure your going to heaven?" or "If you haven't accepted Jesus your can't go to Heaven". I want to know why.... Im looking for someone religious who has examined their religion and come to a logical conclusion on the side of religion (I don't mean faith I mean religion).

If god created the universe, who created god? and the bible goes against the theory of evolution. You can't tell me there's no proof that we evolved. Which means we weren't created in gods image. If we can evolved we can evolve out of god's image too.
8. We need churches to be lead in prayer by the priest. Muslims pray to themselves though and lead themselves in prayer i know that. As for cathedrals, to display the power and influence of christianity.
Why do we have to demonstrate the power/influence of christianity - I know thats what is being done, but this isn't the point of religion is it? Is it accepetable for this to be a major focus of the churches time/resources?
Have you guys ever heard of the book of enoch(e-knock). Talks about angels coming to earth(the fallen angels) have sex with human women and them giving berth to giants. Along with angels teaching humans forbidden enchantments etc. Then god casting all the fallen angels into a fiery pit(aka hell). You can't tell me you honestly belive this. This was what also lead to women traditionally in some religions covering their hair, so angels won't be tempted.
idk its just too far fetched for me. I rather live my life without wasting time prayer to god then living it in delusion hoping that when i die i'll be taken to some perfect kindom of god.
I have no idea what you are talking about - who wrote this book, is it some lunatic, this couldn't possible be part of anything legimate, and is certainly not in the bible.
Also, i believe religion was just an old idea to escape the fear of death. think about it, once you die don't worry, because you'll go to heaven if you weren't a sinner. Which also encourages people not sinning. So religion was good for maintaining a peacfull society but lead people in delusion.
Partially agree, part of the reason for my questions...
Beliefs which tell you which way you should lead you life but not preaching about a god are called philosifys(sp again?). Look at taoism, he spread good teachings about life etc yet he's not credited like jesus is. For all we know, they're both humans(so don't say well jesus was the son of god). some parts are just too sketchy for me.
oh yeah. and no sex before marriage because priests can't have sex. They can't because they can't get marriaged and they can't have sex before marriage without sinner. guess they found loopholes as from the new lol O_O. and all the others reasons stated previously.
What? marriage for priests? Im sorry Im having trouble following your logic, if this is logic and not banter
