What Will Be The Difference In Our Lives If We Dont Believe In God?

[ghosthunter]

my POV.. Bible is not design for science textbook..

Religion was a science substitute. It answers why....

examples:
... why does the sun rise?
... why do "we" exist?
... why are there stars?

So if the Philippines stop believing in Catholic and Muslim religions (and all the other religious sects), we might be more prosperous?

Hindi. Kasi wala tayong disiplina. Nilahat ko na tutal Pilipinas naman and pinag-uusapan. Kesyo may pinag aralan o wala. Mayaman man o mahirap korap mahilig sa shortcut.way of life natin ang diskarte imoral man o labag ang kalalabasan.wala sa ating bokabularyo ang social responsibility lahat sarado lang sa family.ang isang komunidad ay hindi uunlad kung ganito. Lahat nang yan maoobserbahan mo araw araw.saan mang lugar ganyan.

The main difference of life without God is that a society will be without values, and ultimately will run amok. The telltale signs are corruption, murders, lewdness, chaos, and destruction. In short, people will become a society of degenerates (without values)....

Catholic Pinoys eating Garbage. So what values do these people have?



Corruption, murders, lewdness, chaos, and destruction? I think the Christian Filipinos have completed the checklist.

God murdered millions of men, women and children when He flooded the earth during Noah's time.

Lack of discipline .... maybe it comes from the belief that can be summarized into a single phrase...

"bahala ang Diyos"

well, only if you take the bible literally. I would prefer to refer to Noah's flood as the flood mythology which also appears in the pagan religious beliefs of other tribes in the area at the same time. It could have been an oral tradition passed down between generations about an actual devastating flood of the region.

faith answers the how ... if you want to be religious.

and like I said, science has matured enough to answer the "how" questions that used to be left to the "faithful" in earlier times.

believing in God stops people from killing and stealing?

believing in God stops people from engaging in *** outside marriage?

most pinoys believe in God right? look around. well?

You are right. Most Pinoys believe in God. But lets go a little further from believing. A true believer is someone who will not offend the object of his / her beliefs. Unfortunately, most Pinoys who say they believe in a God unfortunately do not live out the same values of his/ her God. So there lies the difference. Believing is one thing, doing what the God teaches is another. There is clearly a disconnect.

i don't see intelligent design when i look the human body. you do. coz that's what indoctrination did to your perception of things

i see inherited traits. i (we) am a present day survivor of natural selective pressure on our species

syempre (using your word) "consistent". coz you wouldnt be around today if you inherited "inconsistent" mutations

yes homo sapiens is still homo sapiens. coz homo sapiens won. where are the non-homo sapiens? they're extinct. they couldnt adapt to the changing earth. where are Homo habilis? where are Homo erectus? where are homo neanderthalensis? they're gone. they're the non-human humans you're looking for

Assuming that these other homo species indeed existed, and using the same "survival of the fittest position" that you're taking, weren't these creatures "designed" to be adaptors of their time much like us humans designed an SUV for off-road and a supercar for street use? Is it really random selection, or is it more like planned variation so that the species will be guaranteed to survive?

As a side note, I grew up, was raised, and educated in secular schools all of my life, and am not as "indoctrinated" as you might think. I'm as open-minded as you might infer. More than anything, I want to know that this discourse leads us to the truth.
