Im a christian. I dont have all the answers but I do have a relationship!! Its awesome!! God, the creator of the universe speaks to me!! God! And he can talk to you too if you listen. You probably think im crazy cause i mean come on, this is crazy!! but its the best proof i can give you....

[DLandonCole]

@JennaJCMarie That is no proof at all.

@JennaJCMarie if you would have been born in Iran, you'd say you can talk with Allah. if you would have been born in Classical Athens, you would say you have conversations with Zeus.what you say, only shows that religion makes people say and think incredibly stupid things.

@JennaJCMarie If he forgave all sins and is still suffering, why do we die?

[repomayne]

@JennaJCMarie you keep believing. i will keep evolving.

[Alexanderisgreat]

@JennaJCMarie did you ever stop to think that an all knowing all seeing god that can create a UNIVERSE wouldn't have to write down his message to you in a book that has to be edited and translated for over 2000 years? you don't think its mentally retarded for you to believe in god who talked to people 2000 years ago and hasn't shown up since? critical thinking is your friend.

@doyoublush- Perfectly put. Concept of god in any religion is only a simulation thought/program that runs in ones brain which over time it becomes real to them but there is nothing real about it. Sadly they ve been convinced without any proof that the simulation is real.

@EdwardWongtheFourth being the son of god he should have known figs were out of season or that they didnt bear fruit, or just make another fig tree with abundant fruit by snapping your fingers lol

[anomyouscoward]

@DLandonCole lolol i always say that. but yet nobody has an answer yet other than "well the bible says its so" okay, so ultimate avengers #14 says spiderman is real so do we believe in him now?

[PABLOMUNOS]

@JennaJCMarie the more you learn you dont see God anywhere. I am not saying there is no God, but, the contradiction, the stupidity, the inmorality, cruelty, the primitive and tribe mentality (I am not a native, so, sorry my grammar)etc. etc. all show us the human creation of the Gods proposed, those ones I feel strongly that dont exist. Something else, maybe, but, NOBODY KNOWS, the ones that said that know, is a liar or deluded.

@JennaJCMarie

If you are hearing voices you need to go see a psychologist.

That shit is scary.

@JennaJCMarie So, if someone said the same statement regarding Zeus, you would consider that as proof for Zeus?
