I get what your saying Sir. I'm not here to troll or anything, im just a man who is looking out to find some answers. Hope i haven't offended anyone here. However isn't what i believe in more towards nature and science.

Quote:What makes you right if you don't believe in anything. What makes you not do a bad act.I guess I'm just not a bad guy, though...quixotically, I've been known to do atrocious things? Does there need to be any other explanation? Or maybe I don't think I'd make a very good rapist...no natural talent, and being a lazy defeatist - I decline to pursue that lifestyle decision?
Quote:Say stealing. Some have it morally some don't. Rather than asking for forgiveness and once your content that your sins have been washed away and think " I think father will forgive me once more" and do another bad act.I can't really speak to that because I don't believe in it. Nor, frankly, do christians. No christian believes that their forgiveness is predicate upon their contentedness. All insist upon the sincerity of contrition. Theft is a legal issue, btw, not a moral issue. The morality of theft can be argued, the legality of theft is established regardless of those arguments.
