Questioning God, Wrong?

Trust me, I do not know much about religion. Anyone. None.

Just the tid bits..

Havent seen Passion Of Christ, yet.



Is it wrong to question if god is real? He gave us free-will didnt he? So then he gave us the free-will to question his existence, so it is alright?

I feel bad as hell questioning the existence of god sometimes, just bad morally cause you know, guess its something not to be fucked with.

Then I always here intresting arguements on here, on why he could exist, or why he doesnt, or the fact that it cant be proven.



MAAAN!!! my head hurts!!!



then i doubt it even more, but still want to believe cause we are told our whole lifes of a GOD of some sort.



iam an open minded person, I do believe there is a higher power, a higher being, it'd be shattering to some to find at the end that there is nothing and you just die, after living a life fully devoting ones to a GOD.



as im older, i'll probably devote some time to reading a bible, understanding it more, but even people who've read the bible say there are things in it that can be questioned so whats really up?



what do YOU all think?

It sould be a requiremenet for everyone to question God.

Question everything. It's the only way you're gonna find answers that you're satisfied with. If you want to truly understand what God is all about, question question question.

Edit: Don't just explore the bible. Explore all sorts of spiritual books/scriptures. The bible has some good knowledge and wisdom in it but there are many books that skip all the crap and get to the point.

Try reading "Conversations with God" if you want some better understanding. After reading that book you'll have barely any questions left to ask.

trust me there is no god your questioning of him is your sense of reason overcomng your brainwashing. there is no afterlife this is all you got dont wast it going to church and blindly following what they say if you need to read the bible you will see the contradictions very quickly

there are other versions of god than the one in the bible.

god wants us to question him. Hell I do it a lot, and one doesnt question either the existence of him or the possibillity that thier is a god. will stew in his own orgasmic ignorance.(sp)

Exactly, question evreything. I'm known for pointing out the obvious, well let's look at what's obvious about questions. Without questions, there is no answer, and vice versa. This would imply we already know and understand everything, which we don't. So in order to know about something as important as the creator and your relationship to it, one has to ask questions, even if you just answer yourself. It's still better than not knowing and doing something for doing's sake.

LYKE DOODZ OMG I AM QUESTIUONING A ILLOGICAL FAIRYTAILE AND OMG DOOD IM GOING TO HELL DOOD BE4CAUSE ITS T3H BAD TO QUESTION GOD OMGG.

It wouldn't matter if you didn't believe in god though. But if your a christian, jew, buddhist, what have you...it's not wrong, I mean, he couldn't expect us all to just say, oh yeah, we'll all follow this guy no ones ever seen before, and read his book, and spread his holy word.

well, who truely knows?

we will never know!!!!!!!!

WHY! if he is real, why can't he just be like "errr this is god speaking, I'am real, I repeat, I'am real." then everyone would be like ohh he is, and the world would be a little bit more of a better place.

So if I put a P.A. hidden in your room and said I am God, while your getting high, would you believe me?

If God came to you and told you to shoot up an orphanage, would you question him?

I wouldn't.

It's only wrong if you make it. Everything is subjective. Make it right.

I rephrase my answer, questioning is the only way to avoid being a complete idiot.

yes indeedy, question eeeeeverything. i kinda fell from religion. i look to religion for advice and guidance but not so much the omnipotent on-looker aspect. i don't think anyone can truely verify the presence of said being, or lack there of. i figure ill eventually figure it out, or if there isn't an afterlife, i won't, i try to live this life w/o worrying about what no1 could possibly know. then again many people need that belief, its comforting. so it depends in what you want to invest your energy and faith in. good luck.

No man its not wrong to question God. I have a few times and I think it a good idea to question things like that. So keep questioning things.

Thats not true. Tell me whats right about raping a girl and passing on aids to her, or cutting a dog just right so that it will be incapacitated and bleed to death.

you cant know that there is no supreme being, be it God or Zues, you just dont know. Obviously your entitled to your own opinions, but dont tell others that they are wrong when there is no evidence to say he's not there. Yes, the Bible has contradictions, and Adam and Eve is disproved by the theory of evolution, but the Bible was written by man. And, as we all know man (as in, humans) are easily corrupted by power, greed, and other forces. however, some people rely on the thought of a God of some sort to give them hope. They think of the afterlife as a wonderful goal that awaits them for their good deeds in life. So you can state your own opinions, but seriously, if people believe something, they probably wont just jump to your side because you say trust me and dont show any support. If they do, then fucking cut em

raping a girl and giving her std's is giving it to yourself you just don't experience it.

APC put it best:

He did this, took all you had, and

left you this way still you pray never stray never taste of the fruit you never thought to question why.

It's not like you killed someone.

It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side.

Pray for one who left you broken down and paralyzed.

He did it all for you.

Oh, so many ways for me to show you how your

dogma has abandoned you. Pray to your Christ, to your God. Never taste of the fruit, never stray, never break.

Never choke on the lie, even though he's the one who did this to you, you never thought to question why?

Question Him, if He's real He'd want us to. Why else would He give us such powerful consciouses. Just don't expect Him to answer.
