How does one 'believe' in their family? I love and appreciate them, but 'believe' is a bit over the top.

And as for God and the alledged Afterlife, keep that to yourself. as you just said 'it is your personal thing'

I will never put anyone down because they don't believe in God, as he's the judge and not I.

Your family is the most precious thing you have, even if some of them are out there, so believing in them shows them you are proud of them and happy that they are alive, even if some of it isn't exactly what you believe in.

The OP asked what do you believe in, so I answered. If a person hates or doesn't believe in God, that's their deal, and they shouldn't get miffed if others believe, as the majority on earth do.

Because they do not believe in YOUR God, as he is YOUR judge, NOT mine.

Where is the proof that the majority do. Please show us the percentages of people who believe in which Gods. Thanks.

God is everyone's judge, whether they believe in him or not. As I mentioned before, everyone will find out when they pass, and then it might be too late to change a way of thinking. How can God not be our judge if he doesn't exist?

You are one stubborn SOB Fred. He is not my judge and never will be. Stop with the vague threats that I will be judged by someone or thing I do not believe in. Why dont you take a day off and do something fun today?

That's just what I believe marin, and not meant to threaten you. You have your own mind and can choose your destiny. All I do as a Christian is pass his word. What you do is your choice and again, I will not put anyone down for what they believe in.

I responded to the OP with my beliefs, so this shouldn't go further right? It's a personal thing. You say yours and I say mine. I have a few good friends that are atheists and we get along fine, as that never comes up.

You cultivate family, friends, traditions and culture, don’t you?

Same thing, just different words. Maybe lack of cultivation is part of the problem. We take too much for granted and forget that traditions and culture need effort to stay alive.

God is a part of millions of lives and none of us aren't anything but happy he exists. Many here believe in him and will say so, but arguing about God, politics or money gets nowhere, even though politics is something many here argue about, and look what happens.

I have seen very few, if any, so called 'believers stick up for their God.

There were only four true believers who actually said that they were. Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. 555

I've actually seen no believers that didn't. Was in Catholic school for 8 years before high school. The only changes I've ever noticed in people I've known all along were a few that believed in possible reincarnation, which I don't, thinking we only get one chance, but I won't argue to them about it, as I nor them know if that happens. Again, this topic is do you believe in anything, so I've said mine.

Yes, it is a belief. No one will know for sure until they personally pass on.

AI is not automatically wrong, and it is not automatically right. You need some basic knowledge, you need to ask the right questions, and you need to check the answers. Look at the sources, compare them, and keep asking until the answer makes sense, with the evidences. AI is a tool. The value depends on how you use it, and if you keep your own brain switched on.

Like the pic from Save the frog above AI says :

The image uses a real historical controversy, but turns it into a stronger claim than the evidence supports. Justinian and the church condemned some Origenist ideas, especially pre-existence of souls, but there is no solid evidence that reincarnation was removed from Christian scriptures.

And this is where you need to work with it. You do not just accept one claim because it sounds true. You investigate around it, check other sources, compare what is said, and look for what can actually be proven.

But many people now just copy and paste things and take them for granted. That has become normal all over the web.

More non-understandable drivel

And as you are not recieving Messages, I shall say this openly.

It is time someone, me, commented on the rubbish you regularly post, starting many OPs in one day sometimes, and very often your own answers out-number others.

I have you on ignore, but am so curious to see what the latest drivel is, so I open it up. I need a good laugh in the morning.

I am so surprised that most of your OPs are not deleted on first posting. Why not give it a week, or month's rest.

I believe there's an abundance of propaganda masquerading as the "truth" promulgated by the so-called "authorities." So I read everything and make up my own mind.

I have had multiple cystoscopies under anaesthesia. My

experience is always the same – I go under in the operating

room, wake up in the recovery room, with a total blank and no

sense of time in between. When we sleep, we dream, and

have a sense of time passing. With anaesthesia, our senses

are entirely disconnected. So if the anaesthetist makes a

mistake and sends me into that blank state permanently, I am

supposed to wake up either singing – off-key – in a choir, or

roasting in hell? That is a leap in logic wider than the Grand

Canyon.
