"The Bible is fiction."

The bible was written a long time ago and was used as a way of controlling people. Ordinary people were scared of this thing known as God because they did not understand death. We still do not understand death but at least we understand life a little better.
God was used to explain the unexplainable but now we understand some of the unexplainable. We no longer need God like our ancesters. All we need is hope...
Human nature is destruction and the only thing that we should hope for is that we do not destroy the beautiful planet on which we live. We do not deserve the gifts we have but maybe one day we will be truely gateful for them...

The beginning of what?

Some crazy f****d up world? To be honest, I don't want anything to do with the person who created this.

I thought God pre-ordiained everything. Therefore, if he fates us to have free-will, is he not creating the Devil?!

You seem to be ignoring my points, Forest, which is a shame. I'd really like to see what you think in relation to the points I've made.

Now I can sympathise with how Light feels.

Free-will, simple as.

GOD DOESN'T EXIST. Be all and end all. Sorry :0)

If God is almighty and nothing can compare to him then how can there be a Devil?

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that it had to have been conceived by a God, does it? Your ignorance means nothing in the grand scheme of things - life is a CHEMICAL REACTION. Not one we completely undoubtedly know everything about, but a chemical reaction nonetheless. Is there some divine intervention? No. So must it have been created by a deity? No.

Just... no, kid.

EDIT: And for goodness sake sort out your apostrophe use - it's so, so frustrating to read.

God didn't need creating, He is the beginning.

By going on to show, how life is incredible, by the fact it can reporduce itself.

What created God then?
