@itx izzy,
God will be fine with you determining who you are best suited for, via the act of dating. You're good. Go out and have a good time.

If a god was concerned about who or when you have sex, then it would not even be worthy of the title.

Maybe that's why god allows genocides and devastating natural disasters that kill thousands of people in mere minutes. She's overwehelmed and far too busy overthinking about and obsessing over people's celibacy pledges and romantic lifestyle decisions.

Ineptitude is gods greatest trait. Makes sense.

@roger,
Exactly. God has priorities. If he wasn't keeping track of the sparrows then at the end, we wouldn't know how many there were altogether or under what circumstances they had died.
..and who else is going to note the times when all those teenage girls let their boyfriends touch their boobies? How would he (she) know who to send to Hell?

@itx izzy,
Just talk to God. He understands you more than yourself. Just ask for wisdom and guidance so you will not fall in today's world of complexity.

Will not fall? What does that even mean? I don't believe in any gods. Have I fallen? I don't do drugs, I don't even drink. I'm not robbing banks, beating up my neighbors or running illegal business. What exactly is this fall in today's world of complexity? Or is it just another empty threat to force people into believing using a fear tactic?

@Krumple,
Even the strongest and convincing words may not change your perception, so am I. What I mean 'Fall' here is that we mere humans very vulnerable to other things, you may be living in a comfortable life right now but anything can happen, and when that anything is something terrible, you found yourself lost and givng up. It's a downfall for everyone in this world. But I strongly believe that through God, I seek rise. Clearly it is not to instill fear in people.

If you are completely sure of your own perception and keep questioning about the universe, stick to it. Go on with your life and respect others' beliefs, instead of forcing people to believe in what you do.

I don't force people to believe anything. All I'm doing is pointing out the absurdities in theology. Also descrambling the nonsensical statements like you will "fall"without theology. The level of arrogance to make that kind of statement requires that it be analysed to show that it's a silly statement.

You rise to the moment through self effort and necessity. Bring on anything no matter how harsh and I'll show you a person who doesn't need theology to get through it.

It's silly that a god would help you out of a situation but wouldn't foresee you getting into the bad situation and prevent it. I guess god waits for you to grovel before deciding weather to help you pathetic self. That's why he waits, wants to see you suffer and beg for mercy.

@Krumple,
God has infinite wisdom and he has a plan. For those who succeeded in life but not in the name of Him will not receive salvation. For the Word of God has it that Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life. After all, we are all temporary. That is what I believe in. We are created to know him, to lean on him and to serve his purpose. It is not possible for finite humans to understand all his plans. And God gave us the freedom of choice. So choose.

I have chosen to ignore him. Will I be punished for eternity? What good is having a choice if one option only will not result in eternal punishment? Just THINK for a few minutes and you'll see it's all a load of hooey.

It is evil to force a being to chose or be punished for eternity for chosing "wrong". It does not give that being any chance at understanding. So it's not a just choice.

Its clear to me that this idea is created to babysit adults to behave in a way or else face a threat of violence for not.

The theology was an attempt to get people to play nice with each other. Those who step out of line need to be put back in line but if that person says why should I follow your rules? You are just a person too, so what makes your rules special?

The ancients understood this dilemma so they cleverly said it is not a man's rule it is a god's rule. This can't be challenged as easy because whom do you challenge? This is why it's effective on most people.

I can challenge it on its inconsistency and lack of including things I think are important which it has left out.

If I am to be "punished" for not believing then so be it. But this system is unjust and evil for doing so. If there is a god it would clearly know what I personally require that would convince me to be a believer but so far it has withheld this. Why?

I don't think there is any after life what so ever. The universe is not trying to be just. Evil people get a way with evil and sometimes good people are never rewarded. It's just life of finite possibilities. That's it.
