It takes "faith" and faith only....there's NO proof of God, and there's no real proof of Jesus, except some story book of the Greatest Stories Ever Told, called the Bible.  Check out this link.

Keep repeating that with your eyes closed while tapping your heals together three times.  Didn't work did it Woof?

Sojo, the two basic questions asked on this blog are, do you doubt God and/or the bible.  Quite simply, I bet EVERYONE has at some point in there lives...even you, by your own admission of being raised in an athiest/agnostic family would have to say the same.

Yes I have doubted God,and having seen the cycle of life. I also know that "things" can come from dead things,mold and bacteria being two. Oh and next years flowers,fruits,vegetables and "weeds". 

Yes Woof, in the past I doubted God and by His grace He is helping get over myself.  Sage I think the poster is referring to and old experiment were they put a piece of meat into a sealed jar and nothing happened to it because, it was protected from bugs and other agents of decay.  Thus proving worms didn't magically appear on rotting flesh, but were introduced to it from the outside. 

Jesus didn't exist.  HE EXISTS---present tense.  Unless you're able to receive him in your heart (that happens by humbling yourself), your head will never acknowledge that he IS. 

And yes, I have had doubts about God's existence.  The doubts always make my faith stronger, and we should never be afraid to admit we have them. 

 Well I certainly have empirical evidence that the tooth fairy exists because I got a quarter everytime.

Blognroll, I was really po'ed by the comments you posted; the one where you accepted praises  for your efforts to help those of us who experianced our childhood without our birth parent(s), with a song.

In fact, I ws so angry that I decided to take a break, and work through my feelings, and the anger, I felt, and as the anger was released, I clicked back over to see what was going on back here at the Bako blog, and the first thing I saw were your words above. 

Where you wrote that by humbling yourself, you can experience Jesus, It felt like a hug fron Jesus, thanks. 

Yes Woof, in the past I doubted God and by His grace He is helping get over myself.

That's what you think, Buffoo. I talked to God about an hour ago at the gym, and he thinks you're hilarious. He said that he's just giving you enough rope to hang yourself.

Those comments don't ring a bell, montfred, perhaps you could post a link.  I don't recall posting any offensive comments, montfred.  I try to be nice at all times, but if I offended you by anything I may have said, I'm truly sorry. 

 Hey Mr Sucks, if you are going to obsess over me the least you can do is send me flowers.

But Sage those dead things were alive once as I post in another post even molds have cells and they were 1st created all life was created  a rock doesn't produce a living rock    nor dirt creating living dirt

Why, certainly. Post your name and address.

 *sigh* Why do people assume that evolution is unChristian?  You do know that you can be a theist and love science at the same time, right? 

I have a lot of questions that you didn't answer.  Can you prove your God exists? If your God is the ultimate, apex creator, and "something doesn't come from nothing", then where did that God come from?  Which version of Christianity is the "correct" version? I find it infinitely harder to believe that something no one can prove snapped "his" fingers together and created this universe in six days (and,...just so I'm clear - which version of creation is the correct version? There's two in the Bible, you know?).  If it's a question of believing something with NO evidence versus MULTIPLE, testable scientific processes that have been observed for thousands of years, then I think I'll believe in the process with the evidence.  It still wouldn't reflect on whether I was an atheist or theist.  I know a handful of brilliant scientists who believe that there is a deity AND that evolution is more than a theory.  They don't believe one belief makes the other impossible.  Are you telling them they are "doing it wrong"?

The Law of Biogenisis, (an established law of science) says life only comes from things that are living. Evolution contradicts science because it suggests that life can form from dead matter.

Um.  No.  Not even close.  Evolution and abiogenesis are completely different things.  Evolution does not speak about the origins of life, it speaks to the process of natural selection and the ability of living organisms to adapt and pass on traits to successive generations. Evolution in no way, shape, or form, suggests that life could come from dead matter.  Abiogenesis, on the other hand, suggests that life started through a process of chemical alteration and energy. 

Does offspring come from the same kind of parents? Or do they create totally different things? Millions of things reproduce every year and the offspring is always the same as the parent. Evolution teaches that 1 kind of offspring can create  a different life form and that all life forms came from one. There’s no argument that living things adapt to their environments but no proof that a fish produces a bird!

Yes.  It's pretty well-accepted that parents of a species will birth off-spring of the same species.  But, offspring is NOT always the same as the parent (as you suggest).  Small variations in genetic code and mutation work over very long periods of time to adapt.  Yes. Lliving things adapt?  Antibiotic resistant bacteria?  What about any of the thousands of animals that are adapted perfectly to live in Mojave as opposed to say, in Alaska?  Do you see many super furry animals with thick fat layers hanging out in Death Valley?  Look at the plants in different areas!  There adaptations are part of the evolutionary process. 

Well well deep breath taken...now release and blow away some peoples tragic misconceptions.Life,especially mine ,the one I know best,is far from tragic,it's had it's downs to be sure...but I would not take any other life than the one I was given. I am well aware it is a roller coaster ride,my dear martha.*edit* When i wrote this i was not aware with whom i was trying to converse.So in short life is bad,bleak and woe is me*

 What happened to your son sagefever?  I am caring for a son who has cystic fibrosis.  Life is nasty like pm says but I would keep my life over another choice. 

 it's pretty incredible how this argument keeps coming up. I've never doubted God existed. Up until three years ago, I had no idea what God was really about, I had no experience in the Church or really getting any teachings about Him. But I had a bad view of him because of the condition of my life. There was a lot of hurting going on, and I couldn't for the life of me understand why God would create me and put me in this life. But as I learn more and more every day, God was there through my pain and suffering. He knows me, inside and out, and He was there. I didn't know Him, I surely didn't love or trust Him, so life just got worse. Today I have the same life, but every day I fall more in love with it. Life is no longer a punishment, a prision sentence, it is a gift. I don't need to think things to death or analyze anything anymore, because I don't need to worry about the details, I just know my heart is happy and that's all that matters to me.

Today I have the same life, but every day I fall more in love with it. Life is no longer a punishment, a prision

Hmmm. The further I got away from Jesus, the more I began taking responsibility for my actions, and the more my life improved. To each his own, I guess.
