Does believing in God really make me narrow minded for just choosing one religion? I don’t believe in God as just a being. He is love. He is forgiveness. He is peace. He is mercy. He is kindness. He is much more than just a being. I don’t believe in religion, I chose to be apart of one. People who believe in many religions simply don’t accept truth. None of them match perfectly, that’s why choosing one is logical. Being a Christian does not make me “narrow-minded” or perfect in any way. I wake up some mornings and wonder what I’m thinking. But the truth is that unlike other religions. I FEEL God. I know he’s there. When I talk to him, I hear Him. He lives up to his Word. It’s ME that is fallible. So, does believing in a God that made and holds all things into being still make me narrow-minded? Does dabbling in other religions and finally coming to God make me narrow-minded? Why would you not want to believe in someone like God, who is ALL good. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his will.”
There are no such things as Atheists. Even they believe that if the sun does not shine, it will one day, because there is a sun. They believe that if they sit down, a chair is there to hold them, and even if it slides out from under them, they will sit down again. They look outside and believe that nature exists. That in that nature, there are cells and molecules and in believing that, it’s science. I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist. Because by believing in nothing, they believe in something.
God loves all, and is all good. He is not war. He is not pain. He is not abuse. He is not murder. He is not your preacher. He is God. He is satisfied with himself completely and could never be killed. The grave could not hold him, and we cannot deny him. Believe.
Religion has always been used to explain the unexplainable. As science advances, so the need for religion will diminish until it is obsolete.
Atheists do not believe in nothing, they simply do not believe. We are people who need proof in order to believe. Maybe this is because we never saw faith as something we needed in the past, or maybe we have had faith and were disappointed, but we find it more difficult to trust than other people. We are often branded as totally distrusting, but I believe the truth of all atheists is that we are cautious and rational. We have felt disappointment, we have seen it’s effects and decided by ourselves that this is not something worth going through unless there is proof that religion is real. I admire those with faith, it is an honourable quality, but just one that in my heart of hearts I cannot embrace.
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future
So as an atheist, you believe in disappointment, and pain, and science. I can say this because I was an atheist. Looking back now I had faith in more things than I do now since becoming a christian. I trust in God. That’s all. People fail. Nature fails. Who do we think we are to put the blame on anyone else but ourselves for the mistakes of this world? we blame things that we can’t see…that should speak for itself why we should take responsibility. Christians feel disappointment…more than non-Christians. Trust me, I know. I look heavenward and wonder why all these horrible things happen and feel the deepest sorrow. I also know that God is bigger than this. He is in control. Know why? Because bad things happen, but they never last. There’s always an end. And he promises that in the Bible. It’s very hard to trust in someone you can’t see, but we blame Him for our problems, so deep down we believe that he’s there. Just maybe not someone we would like to worship. But let’s be serious. He claims to be all good…he claims to love unconditionally, he claims forgiveness forever, so what proof do we actually have that the bad things are his fault? Our own view of him. When bad things happen, I feel the weight of that. It’s MY sin, not God’s. I can sit here and talk to you until I am blue in the face, but you have to experience how God is different for yourself. He asks nothing from you but expects everything. The saddest part of being an atheist is looking around for someone to thank when you are happy, and no ones there, cause you don’t believe. It’s waking up at night and thinking…halfway believing that God exists, just to barely keep existing, but then reminding yourself not to feel, because feelings are bad and fleeting. Knowing that when you do question the possible existence of God that the next bad thing that happens will make you not believe. Let me tell you, I had more faith then than I do now. I know that it’s the bad things in the past that make you not trust God, or anyone for that matter, but I can tell you that you believe. You believe in yourself. You only trust yourself, and believe that the decisions you make each day, as small as they may be, are the right ones for you. You have your best interest at heart. God is not a feeling. Christianity is not a feeling. It’s a knowledge. It’s a faith practice. I have learned that when I became a Christian I have no rights. I gave up myself to the Lord and what he wants for me. Even as I am writing this, it sounds crazy. But it works. I learn every day that the Lord’s ways are not our ways. His love is not our love. I do not understand God. He is not to be defined. That is what gives him the most glory is to sit back and say “God I do not know what you are always about, I do not understand you, but you do. I know your bigger than me and my issues. Work your will”. C.S. Lewis once said ” A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell”. That is so true. When bad things happen, we either run to God, or blame him. And it’s always the God of the Bible, not Allah, or the Dali Llama, or what have you. Deep down we all know he exists. we just deny because for some crazy reason we think we are better.
Wow! I am amazed at the way people think. I am a christian and I (cannot understand) the way non believers deny God….. Maybe I don’t understand because I have the truth THE HOLY BIBLE and in God’s word we are told the truth will make you free.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Christianity is not about having a religion. It’s a personal relationship with our Saviour. The ONLY one that gave his life for our sins; his name is Jesus Christ the creator of the universe. Just because people choose to Deny Christ does not make him less real. The bible is very clear that Satan is the author of confusion and if he confuses you until you die then he has won.
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace…
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 Jesus saith, He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jesus Christ is as real as you and me and if you will seek him out; you Will find him.
Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
The bible tells us there is only (one) way to become a child of God.
The world is full of people that think if they have a religion or if they do good works they will go to heaven, how sad to buy into the devil’s lies.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The bible tells us in Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul…..
We live in such a perverse society; People have forgotten the wonderful daily blessings of the Lord. I am so thankful for God’s grace and mercy on me; for I am so undeserving. I am completely in AWE of the love I have been shown through my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I am not worthy to be his child.
Psalms 18:46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
No one is guaranteed tomorrow, please put your trust in Jesus, Today!
2 Corinthians 6:2 Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I am not here to condemn anyone. My prayer is for anyone who reads this and does not know Jesus personally that you will accept him into your life; so that you too can abide with him forever….
Revelation 3:20 Jesus said, Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Jesus tells us through his word the Holy Bible how you can have eternal life with him.
Romans 10:9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
God’s ways are not our ways they are not to be figured out; only trusted.
God made the earth in 7 days there isn’t anything to hard for God.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
There is a place of complete peace and joy and that is in Jesus Christ the one and only True God. Let the love of Jesus fill the void in your heart.
God Bless you and God Bless America!

Everyone always wants to quote the bible. Do you believe everything you read?
>>>I admire those with faith, it is an honourable quality,
Faith is not an honorable quality. Faith is the absence of thought. Faith teaches one to be satisfied with not understanding the world. Faith demands unquestioning obedience to a doctrine. So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence. We are told to be like sheep, blindly following an unchanging religious dogma .
According to the religious, Knowledge is sinful because it causes one to question. Using your brain is a capital offense. Religion is a faith game wherein players are constantly looking for ways in and out, not to seek truth or knowledge but for ways only to preserve their faith. This is no surprise. Preservation of faith is the single most important thing in any religion. Without it any religion would die.
The major difference between religion and science is that most religious people maintain faith whatever they observe and/or conclude even if evidence directly contradicts what one believes. Science alters it’s precepts when evidence arises that directly contradicts or disproves what was once believed to be true. That is why science works and gets one closer to the truth.
Faith is NOT an honorable quality by any means of it’s definition.
No matter the religion, just be a good person, thats what matters.
Right DB. Just be Good. Cos if you are, I don’t care whether your God is….well…..Jim Morrison!!!!!
The Sun, the moon, air, water and color of blood is same for all, then why the God who has created us is different for every religion?
Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings.
Any idealism taken to extremes be it faith, politics or race will always end in bloodshed. Religion has both good and bad points, many of the most inspiring structures in the world owe there existence to religion, the sound of choirs raising there voice to sing give great joy to those who listen. Religion offers solace and support to many in need in need, most of the philosophy on how we should live our lives held within the texts hold true today. The sight of people praying is very calming even if as I do you not believe in any organized faith.
However to believe that religion is the only way one can live a good life is misguided. And the only difference between someone who follows any of the Abrahamic based faiths and a true atheist is one god for those who believe reject all others from Belobog to Zeus and therefore teach us to be intolerant of anyone who does not believe or disbelieve the same as us.
Until we can learn to accept that although we are different in many ways, we are all fundamentally the same. And that shoving your views be they athiest or religous down others throats in the false belief that you are right, as who truly knows? Only causes greater misunderstanding and resentment then we have no hope of tolerance or peace within the world.
A man of one religion is a boy, a man who believes many religions is a peace seeking man.
This is a webpage for quotes ABOUT religion. While I find it symptomatic of the subject that people on both sides of the religious fence debate ad nauseum about it given the opportunity, I would like to remind you that there are discussion forums dedicated to precisely this activity. I believe the purpose of allowing you to submit comments is if you have constructive comments directly related to the quotes. I would ask that you please refrain from posting your personal views here.

Biggest wars have been about religion.
Some ancient religions required human sacrifices, others animal sacrifices, still others the annihilation of “unbelievers”. To that extent, religion sometimes does cause wars. The problem comes when all religions are lumped together and summarily rebuked, ridiculed, rebuffed or relegated to the scrap heap of human experience. This is a form of religious “profiling” that those who oppose religion would very often abhor being used to fight crime or prevent terrorism.
I struggled as a young man with the phrase “Christian guerillas” as it was applied to one of the factions fighting in Beirut, Lebanon. As a Christian myself, the two terms seemed antithetical to each other, but they were strung together never-the-less by reporters and news editors covering that struggle.
Religion and religious people have often been used and abused, twisted, misguided and manipulated by callous (and often non-religious) politicians (or power-intoxicated religious leaders) to initiate and/or seek justification for war.
But saying that religion causes war is like saying that vehicles cause accidents. Yes, from time to time wars have been fought in the name of religion. And at times religion was the pivotal cause or justification of such wars. But religious people have also done much good for their neighbors, and strangers alike. Did anyone notice the number of religious organizations what were already on the ground in Haiti even before the earthquake struck?
Those who oppose religion for any reason are quick to blame religion for every war they can, but they refuse to notice the good that religious people have done and the billions of dollars that are quietly given every year by religious people to religious organizations and used to improve communities, minister to the hurting, the sick and the needy of all sorts.
Every coin has two sides.
