IMHOIf there is a God, why does He/She allow such horrible things to happen? War, famine, disease, disasters, harming children etc. all come to kind as examples of things that a compassionate "God" would not allow or would choose to intervene in if such a being did exist.
And why is God in hiding? Like in the old John Denver movie, why doesn't he just show-up every once in awhile for a chat? Like Maslow, I believe that religion is just a mechanism invented by man to deny death.

A lot of these things are all answered in biblical passage also. The who is God, where he is, why bad things happen. Obviously you have to have the faith involved in being a born again Christian for it to make sense.God is not hiding,God is the truth.God is inside all of us and if you knew where to look you would find him there.God is the place in your mind where you have a choice to form opinions,but unfortunatley,most of us think we know better,and thats what causes war.As far as famine,disasters,and disease go,its just silly to think that death is unnatural,if we had 2000 year olds humping around there would be no room left for the new ones.
I tend to lean towards the Taoist way of thinking,but even though I know where to find the"God" in me,I find it hard to live the way . I don't think God is Catholic,prodestant,muslim,or anything for that matter.I think God is inherant in everyone,and in its simplicity,its often hard to sense it.
Just curious what the one real truth is and who gets to decide which ONE is right?There is only one real truth,and sometimes its convenient to ignore it and replace it with your opinion.[/
Everyone gets to choose,and there is only one real truth,and its simply the truth.The way things are before we read things into them,define them,judge them.Just curious what the one real truth is and who gets to decide which ONE is right?
Welcome to the real worldInteresting quiz. I'm a Secular Humanist...
Well Im definitely not in the real world then... I came across as quaker first and christian/protestant second... is an interesting quiz though...
I went back a second time and answered everything totally opposite to see what happened... I turned up unitarian universalism first and secular humanism second
Why is that? I'm curious. I generally take a dim view of internet personality tests, but when I read more about my top 3, the results seem to make sense in light of the answers I gave.DS said:I tried it too and its a bunch of crap
