Three religions in the world claim to be descendants of Abraham. Islam being the offspring of Ishmael, Judaism being the offspring of Isaac, and Christians who according to the bible were “grafted” in. These three religions also share a lot of things in common – whether it be in doctrine or in acts that they did throughout history. They all teach that there is only one God (though majority of Christian sects extended it to a “triune” god – one god three personas).
Have you ever met someone telling you that prayer is easier than doing things yourself? Well, they’re right. The question however is whether prayer is more effective than doing things yourself. Here’s a nice photo that illustrates the difference between prayer and hard work.
I think just about any religion has its own creation story wherein a diety of some sort created man in some way or another. Eventhough beliefs like this cannot be proven (or disproven), majority of the population still choose to believe in a particular creation story and for a reason.
Just about anything in and out of this world can be worshiped – even Bacon! Yeah, that’s right. One of the guys I follow on Twitter posted a link to WorshipBacon.com and man it made me laugh. The site basically is about bacon worship and comes completed with a church, a holy book and a hymn.
If God performs miracles, I wouldn’t have sent my wife to the hospital for a minor surgery. Many have prayed for her and yet no healing came. Yep, she’s a believer and I’m not. It was obvious that no miracle was coming.
Think about this… Can God create a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it?
You might have already encountered this question before and you may already have your answers to this but kindly allow me to use this question to prove that an Absolutely Omnipotent God CANNOT Exist. Note that I used the word “Absolutely” so as to avoid other definitions of omnipotence. I say this because I have encountered definitions of the word that describes omnipotence as merely the capability to do anything that the omnipotent being wishes.
I’m an atheist, my wife’s a Christian and my kids are still young for me to say what they will be when they grow up but this is not about our differences in belief. Recently, a wife posted a comment on one of my Squidoo lenses asking for advise.
