God/Religion

[Yoda]

I understand such debate can bring problems, but lets try and act civilised so that we can express ourselves in the most peaceful way possible.

Some guidelines I would like to suggest:

Don't attack grammar, this is the lowest kind of come back.
Don't get too aggressive.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

As to keep everything a bit more on topic, the question is:

Does God exist and what are your thoughts on the different religions?

[SuperShotty]

I dont believe in god allah or w.o
I Respect every religion their decision not mine.

[Farmer Bashy]

Probably. But I don't believe in the unknown. And to every religion all the others are bad and you will go to a "hell-like" place for worshipping that God.

I believe that if you are a good person and your deeds outweigh your sins in your life then if there really is a God he will accept you seeing that you have a kind-heart.

[Xypher]

God exists, my religion is right, and all others shall face eternal damnation.

Fair enough, do you have any ideas on how the universe or universes if you are into that were created?

[StephanM]

There is no god, those who believe in god got their reason for it even tho some reasons are complete bullshit.
Religions seems to be here just to steer people to a certain direction/thought.

[Mime]

Not this topic... '-'
Anyway, I believe in God. Idc if you do, your choice.

The following is allegedly an actual question given in a University of Washington chemistry mid-term exam.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their faith, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can reliably project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:
If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
until all Hell breaks loose.
If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell
freezes over.
So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my freshman year that, "it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls,leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being, which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!"

God can't exist. Even if he does we wouldn't know what he considers right or wrong. There is no reason to condemn yourself to a specific set of rules dictated to you by a man in a robe if you don't believe it is right. There is no way to prove his existence and even if he exists, is it really okay to pray to him?

I certainly most believe there are many gods/goddesses, but im forced to stay true to being a Catholic @_@.

There has to be a god for certain things like Love, Belief , etc...
Concerning heaven or hell, I certainly think there is no type of "afterlife" except pitch black. You can't remember who you are, what you do because your DEAD. You dont exist as a person anymore and you cannot because you're dead.

They are all ideas started from people needing hope in something.
