A person’s life is no more than a twinge in time. When your world ends, another begins. Another world for you, this world for another. When you die, where do you go? If you are a Christian, you believe that you go to heaven or hell. But what if you are not? I don’t know about any other religions other than the one I was brought up with. Even now, I seriously doubt my belief in Jesus Christ. In fact, I think right now, I could be considered athiest (I don’t know how to spell that). I just don’t think I can believe in God. I wonder if I can ever find a religion to belong to because of my reasons for being a non-Christian. My reasons are this: I can’t see or feel Him. Honestly. Yes, I think life is a wonderful miracle, but I don’t necessarily think that God is behind this miracle. I also have an argument against the Bible: Alright. So God created the Earth from scratch, yes? And he created man on the what day? The 5th? 6th? I don’t know. But he created Earth in 6 days, and man on one of those days, let’s put it that way, shall we? But, dinosaurs were around for millions of years, and there is no way that dinosaurs and man could’ve been living together. So, how is this possible? I’ve asked several people: friends, Christians, pastors. No one can answer my question. And we have proof that dinosaurs were around, we have their bones! There is no way anyone can tell me that there isn’t a problem here. I guess I’m the type of person who looks at proof. But still, I don’t FEEL Him anywhere. I swear. When I look at the sky, the sunset, the sunrise, the stars, I think it’s beautiful. I think a tree covered with ice is dazzeling. A flower is gorgeous! But I don’t FEEL God there. I love to watch nature, but I don’t FEEL Him there. I believe that everything happens for a reason, fate, if you will, but I don’t think it’s God that’s orchastrating my life. I honestly don’t KNOW WHAT I think it is that controls fate. I don’t really have the time to do any soul searching either to try and figure out what it is I believe. I don’t know. I believe that I’m rambling and I’m sorry . . .

From what I have been told from numerous friends and Religious figures in my life, the Dinosaurs were put here by God in order to throw people off his Path…I.E. If you try to find me, I will put things in your path to throw you off. Ya get me? That is where the dinosaur bones and stuff like that comes from…You’ve only seen Dinosaur bones…How do you know That there really were dinosaurs??? Have you ever seen or felt love? Have you ever seen or felt fear? Have you ever seen or felt 13 billion dollars? Just because you don’t see it or don’t feel it does not mean it isn’t there. If you don’t have the faith, I won’t preach to you, that is up to you…I won’t tell you that “Oh you don’t believe in God.,..You’re going to hell” because that isnt for me to say… I do hope that things look up for you, and maybe one day you will get the faith back…have a great day
ok, i’ll do two things @ once here girl. i’ll let you know who i am, & answer a question all at the same time. multi-tasking, woohoo!.. i’ll give you a hint about who i am first..”are you tired of being a llama?” & no, i’m not anthony..Yay, it’s JOY! yeah, i finally signed up here. but about your question, i won’t say that i’m totally right or wrong, it’s for you to decide, & i’m hoping that i don’t sound too preachy. but, i think that dinosaurs and man existed at the same time, because their were a few references in the bible to a gigantic reptile of some sort. & about the faith, i personally don’t know whether or not you’re ‘saved’ but if you aren’t, that’d be the first way to be able to feel God in your life. but if you are, there are times that doubts are placed into your life that make it hard to feel God’s presence. i’ve had a few times where i doubted my faith because certain things that happened in my life. now, about cheering you up!just remember, things can only get so bad. believe me, for a long time i felt like no one cared, but things do get better eventually. see ya in spanish!! l8r
