Do you think it's fair that God is taken out of everything?

I agree with you. Our country was built on the principles of God. I grew up Catholic, but I don't necessairly believe it. But I celebrate Christmas, St. Patricks Day, St. Josephs Day, I say the Pledge of Alligance. Everyone thinks they're right. It's a part of our history, and people are erasing history because 'it's not what they believe' But we are a melting pot of culture, so there's the other side of the argument, all holidays and religions should be celebrated not just catholicism or christianity that our country was based on 300 years ago

I think God has had to let His will come second to ours, thats why there is so much crap in this world

Assuming for the sake of argument that the Christian mythology is true, of course it's not a fair judging. Just because God is more powerful than we are and made us doesn't automatically give him the right to tell me what to do. Granting us free will is philosophically identical to granting us control over our own being. It's irrelevant that he made us. It's just like the government, just because it's big and has all the guns doesn't give it any actual authority over us other than what it takes by force (in God's case, threats of hell).

God needs to stay. A person can worship whichever "God" they want to, or no god. That's fine. But, come on people! Respect the foundations that this country was based on, or get out! It's as simple as that.

Do you mean, Is it only insane people that feel that they are 'all together'?  If that is what you mean, I would say 'No'. The average life has its stresses, but since we are in the religion section let me say that God is a God of peace and he gives it to us through the brave actions of the Prince of Peace.

I have spent some time think about this, and I have al so spent a lot of time reading the Bible, and after a lot of thought I find that God is not fair.\nThere is too much blood shead an death, that is not realy need for him to be fair, and when you see what is going on in the world to day, you would be MAD to say he is a just God.

Definately.  God is a very personal thing, different for everyone.

Nah.  I tend to question any links between God and any religious organization that relies heavily on violent means to an end.  To me, if the basis for any religion is not the promotion of world peace, harmonious existence, and peace with nature, the religion is not a true reflection of God's will.

Hell Yes!\n\nREAD:\n\nKill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God\n\n    Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."  (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)\n\n\n======================\n\n\nKill Nonbelievers\n\n    They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.  (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)\n\n\n===============================\n\n\nKill Followers of Other Religions.\n\n    1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.  Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.  You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.  And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst.  (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)\n\n \n\n    2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden.  When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.  (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)

God is the very foundation of every thing. even for people who dont't want to belive in him they are still acting in a realm were their is a God. our very mind set is in this unique realm. if we took God out then were is the reason for any thing. think about it all you do has so kind relation ship with in God weather for agianst or out of even ignorence. I am only 19 and I have thought about this many times and this is the only thing that makes sence to me.

I'm so with you on that one!! Everything starts and ends with God. But people are people.... Sad but true. It makes me sick to hear people mock their own Creator. They're playing with fire!Literally!

I don't think it is justified. We cannot play God and that is precisely what we are doing. Think of the trickle down effect killing somebody has one society.\n\nNothing good comes from it.

Maybe it is not a question of forgiveness, but a question of whether God has given up, and lets us all to our own faith.\n\nI otherword, he gave up when he saw the inperfection of his creation, and went away to do another creation somewhere else.\n\nIt therefore also stands to reason, that he could not be perfect, as he was able to create impefect beings like ourselves.

Oh, no.  We are all God's creatures and equal in worth and ability.  Cooooom by ya, my lord, cooooooom by ya.\n\nThanks for the points.  :D

Why not? Is God a property of non-users alone?\n\nBut, I'd suggest you give up drugs and drinks, if you do indulge in these vices.
