I have NEVER believed in god. Now, when I have a logical stand-point, or when I was a care-free kid. I never grew up depressed/lonely, or especially suicidal... Ignorance at it's best. Have your faith, your entitled to it - but me saying "You are wasting your life worshipin" is just as equivlant as you saying "You are going to suffer for not believing what I do" That is a truly bile comment to express how wrong it is for a child to grow up godless.

Now, if that concept of a god is this "great intelligence", then this can't be the same catholic/ christian god. The inventors of christianity and the authors of the bible weren't that smart to cover the bases that the new age "spirituality" are trying to forward.

Born-agains like me and Catholic na as in sarado katoliko with all the legalism heheh. :D Hope that clarifies what I said. :) Oh, I actually meant yung God-believer who’s not so legalistically “Christian”/Bible-thumper/Rosary-fiddler, you know? :p

Of course, I am. There is a Great Intelligence in the Universe which could not have come into being by just the explosion of stars eons ago. In fact we, humans, are the living manifestation of God. God resides in each of us. That's why we know deep in our hearts that there is a Power beyond us. Those who say they do not believe in God are just fooling themselves. Lorie, I AM a God-believer.

The loss of faith in life and the loss of trust in other human beings is just sad. Period. PLUS, Jay is not the usual God-believer, right Jay? He’s more of the eclectic guy, Benj. :p Well, Benj, because it’s sick when your kids grow up having no faith and being suicidal at 19 because they are not sure that there is a God who loves them.

It is about the worst of hollywood commercialism. You're free to disagree, of course, since we live in a free world. But next time you draw your gun and shoot, check first if you have the right target. You could be shooting your own foot. That's too bad :( This is not about religion at all.

That's the problem with christians. YOU have the sense of entitlement as if your beliefs should be beyond reproach and question even if it already imposes a lot of life-altering and bigoted standards upon others who don't subscribe to it.
