Faith?

[Alysser]

I am not a religious person by any means, but I do believe in god to an extent. I like the idea of heaven, hell, and all that. I am mostly a scientific person, and want to pursue a scientific careers as well. But one thing I hate is people who bash science into someone's head who is religious, or vice versa. Let people just believe what they want and that's the end of it. I don't get why people need to prove to other people there isn't a god or there is a god. It's what YOU believe, while changing someone's mind isn't a bad thing, it can be done without force and being annoying. I've seen post on facebook bashing Democrats and posts bashing Republicans, and while it's different the concept is the same. The fact is bashing or persisting doesn't do anything in these types of arguments.

Just ignore the posts, and believe what you want to believe. Don't let people change your mind if you don't want it to be changed.

Faith and science are NOT mutually exclusive.

Explain the symbiotic relationships between certain animals, and in some cases certain individuals of species having a symbiotic relationship.

Explain to me how most systems degenerate into ever simpler states, but life has organized into ever more complex beings.

I have faith. I'm religious, so.... faith is what I believe in. It's gotten me through so many things in my life.

Countrywolf,

I have faith too. Sometimes it's tested to the brink. But I manage to get through it. And yeah, I saw that post on Facebook.

Definitely. It can be tested to the very brink. Faith is a powerful thing.

Perhaps this is a really dumb question. How do you all manage to see the same comments/post on FB? Are you all 'friends'?

People who proclaim science is all knowing are just as daft as the idiots who threaten you that you'll go to hell unless you get down on your knees and pray for mercy for your sorry, sinful backside.

I think science has given the human race great advancements that have developed us, and will continue to develop us, as a species. I don't believe, however, the human mind has the capacity to harness all the secrets of the universe. We really aren't that clever.

I don't believe in God, so I suppose I do support the laws of physics. But, as I was not there when the universe was created, nor could even begin to understand the calculations that demonstrate how the Big Bang could have occurred, I have no evidence to disprove anything else. People are welcome to believe what they want and the sooner more people on this earth come round to that idea, the more the human race would get along!

OK, gonna go look for that post....

ETA: Found it. If it's the one little line posted by someone whose name begins with C?

I posted to her. You can look.

It says basically that she has faith in her point of view.

It's just one person. You know what they say about opinions...they're like a**holes. Each person has one and each one is different.

Yours is equal to anyone else's!

[wombat2u2004]

You should'nt let stuff like that get to you DJ.
You have your beliefs, they have theirs, it's as simple as that.
All that matters really, is that you know within yourself that you are right.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Thank you guys! I really apriciate you all chiming in. And yeah Catty, she was part of it but her comment came out of a much larger discussion lol.

I do feel a lot better now.

Again, thank you. I love you guys!

Absolutely! I have very strong faith, but I may not have the same belief system that you do. It doesn't mean that one or the other is following the wrong path.

"Truth is one; paths are many"

Follow your own path to the "truth". I'll meet you there!

[RICHARD]

Of course, there is Faith.......




As long as you believe?

It's just one person. You know what they say about opinions...they're like a**holes. Each person has one and each one is different.

I'll never again judge an a-----e without thinking about their faith!
