[quote=bramzero;#337367;1371919039]Going to a mountain requires more effort and I want to do that maybe with an experienced hiking partner or in a group. [/quote] It's like you're trying to discourage me from going. Nuuu don't take aya she gets tired rly fast, she'll just be a burden. HAHAHAHAHAHA. [quote=bramzero;#337367;1371919039]The ultimate creator? Or some aliens from another galaxy who created us in their labs? I don't believe in unproven theories and speculation. [/quote] That's a NO then. [quote=chaw;#338229;1372357825]My atheist friend told me that the more people gain knowledge, the less people hold on to their beliefs. For me, this struck me really hard because I thought it was true.[/quote] Damn right. [quote=chaw;#338229;1372357825]I know for a fact that the best way to know God, and to get closer to God, is to read His word.[/quote] I tried that before but His words are so cryptic, it made me more confused. [quote=chaw;#338229;1372357825]A filipino guy at a local ice cream store found my mom and told us Uy, pilipino kayo diba? Punta kayo sa church namin! :lol:We just tried to go once or twice or thrice a month, and at first we were always disagreeing with their beliefs, but now all of us siblings are committed to Christ.[/quote] I see. Thanks for sharing. I read everything you posted. It kinda helped me. BTW, Is it necessary to go to church every Sunday? [quote=bubblegum;#338334;1372409763]Explaining my belief to an atheist almost always lead to argument, something I avoid greatly. Atheists use the mind to understand things around us but I use my mind and also my heart in meditating the Bible because knowing is not enough, there should be a transformation upon receiving the Word of God. I suggest you read Romans1:18-32 Verse 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain for them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Verse 21. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearrts were darkened. So there's no excuse for people to not acknowledge God's existence since you yourself is the proof as well as everything around us.[/quote] Now I understand why it's pointless for an atheist or an agnostic theist like me to talk to you. Your answers are straightforward and there is no room for doubt.
