So - Jewish? You didn't want to try it?

It wasn't for you? There's more to it than just a lack of Bacon sandwiches. You don't like Bagels? Oy Vey!

Welcome anyway..

Thank you all for your welcoming Smile

Since so many of you asked about my story, I suppose I will have to tell it on here!

As soon as I write about my story I'll PM you to let you know... Perhaps you can shoot me a PM if you want me to keep you in touch.

I have a question. Where are you from ?

From American, Washington D.C. area. I lived in London for a few years.

Well Jews don't exactly try to recruit and you can't really be Jewish unless you're born to a Jewish mother...

Their religion is quite different from Islam and Christianity in that regard.
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” - Marcus Aurelius

That sounds like a pretty effective progression.

Welcome to the forums, Robert.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

hi Robert, I'd like to see your story too! first question: are you a granola eating pot growing book reading hippie? I know an atheist named Robert actually.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Actually I think the Moslems do that too - so if that your reason to join them you are in for a painful surprise.

G'day and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
