Do you ever go to church ? if so what does church do for you ?
Why do some people need to go to church and why do some just feel they cant go into a church?
Why go to pray when what you pray for never happens ?
Why ?
Ive got a few things on my mind at the minuite so although you probably dont understand why im rambling Id really like to hear your views. It may come out later in the thread but id rather here what people have to say

Like I enjoy to do assignments alone the best, others like the benefit of a group to do it in.
Same goes for prayers. Some want to feel united and some want to be private about.
Some believe that prayers might help. Plus, it gives the feel of a closeness to God. Like some sort of contact.
But I do understand why some people will never believe in prayers or God.
Depends on your experience, and outlook
Christians can tell you you are wrong, but you cant say they are wrong.
Personally i dont beleive in it.
i don't go to church. people probably pray for what they want and don't notice they got what they needed.
prayer can be a very powerful way of thinking and focusing.
probably depends which god your praying to as well.
if i wanna believe in something (which i dont) im gonna do it myself, without nosy busiebodies and lining the pockets of the leaders
Therefore the world isn't perfect.
So are you saying even god aint perfect ? and we all make mistakes ?
Sorry if im putting words in your mouth.
My belief of God isn't as square as most others. For me God is simply some kind of power.
So God is perfect in his/her/it's own sense, while humans are of a completely different nature and sense.
I believe that one of the greatest mistakes when discussing such issues is to personize God in human terms. Doesn't work that way according to my belief.
But yes, human beings all make mistakes (except from me). And someone I used to know actually told me that the meaning of Life is to learn from the mistakes we make, improve and the make new ones, so we can rise again to a new level. Like Newton's saying of "standing on the shoulder of giants".
So we always grow as human beings, and continue to better our ways and beliefs. Always have something new to build upon.
God created the world right, like, sin free and perfect. but the Devil tempted adam and eve and they did something that God asked them not to. the way i see it, if i do something that God has told me not to, then i have sinned.
God knows everything. he knows everything that happens and why it happens and whilst he knows all this and he is in control, He gave us free will. so the bad things that happen are because of free will. because people do what they like. im not saying that if something bad happens to you that its your fault. but its someones fault, someone brought that about or brough that on you. God doesnt "let" things happen, they just do. he doesnt stop them from happening cos that would mean that we dont have Free will. the reason there is so much hurt in the world is because the devil is king on this earth, God is the creator, almighty he made this world and the heavens and hell, but the devil is the king of this earth because he tempts man to sin.
the enemy seeks only to kill and destroy. thats why theres all the hurt. i cant explain it. i understant it, but i cant put it into words for you to understand it so you probably think im talking crap. no one knows it all. we arent called to understand, just to believe. ive only been a Christian for just over a year so i dont know everything and i never will.
what morrocan roll said is right...man wants to do it his own way. but we cant do it our own way....one reason why many people chose not to be Christians, because they cant handle that they wouldnt be in control of their own life. God controls it all.
Jesus isnt the best way...hes the only way.
sorry ...went into john wayne mode ...sshhh.
but son? is that part of the john wayne thing or are u actually calling me son? cos im a girl....
i wasnt meaning to sound like a "fire and brimstone preacher" , in fact im far from it. i suppose i was trying to answer beckys question but i tend to ramble....oops....just my opinion anyways....
God loves you all!!
i know all about rambling.
how can god love me? i'm not an american and niether am i the queen.
hope that made sense
he is also an angry and a jealous god. according to the bible god had humour as well ...or should that be has?
he then procceeds to make man in his likeness!
I don't really believe in God but If there is a god I don't think he/she/it is anything to do with Jesus Christ, Allah or Buddha or anything like today's religions believe.
I'm an atheist now, so I suppose that speaks for itself.
The fact is that God does listen and He does answer prayers, as I once heard said, but sometimes the answer is 'no'.
God answers our prayers, but sometimes by giving us different things that we originally asked for. and sometimes, He takes years to answer them. but its all part of his wonderful plan. if you pray for something and you dont get it, its not because Gods being mean and doesnt want you to have it, it means thats its not part of His plan for you, and that He has something better than that for you. But we shouldnt just pray to ask him for things that we want.
So I packed up my prayers and sorted my problems out with my own hands, which worked.
i'm sure he will and the world will know all about it. wow man ...i mean, one minute i'm on the bike ...the next i'm back on stage ...
"finished with my woman cos she couldn't help me with my mind".
the on going saga ...
You probably don't give your kid(s) everything they ask for and do things they won't appreciate until they are older or parents themselves. You probably realize as well no matter how much you teach them they will go out and sometimes learn through failure or mistakes.
