I'm the type of person who believes on in what he sees... so many things that say God doesn't exist make more sense to me than the things that say he does.

I understand where you are coming from and I used to think the same way, I'll say this though, if you open yourself a little bit you may just start to feel him, and if you do proof just starts sprouting up. Arguing over which is true in itself will never convince anyone that God does or does not exist, it takes a personal experience.

I suppose so, yet if someone's beliefs were challenged, and they wish to confirm it with someone. They would undoubtedly go to someone who they trust; and those who he/she trusts would probably be someone who holds the same belief as the person asking for confirmation, thus rendering all previous attempts to educate and/or challenge that person useless. However there could be a possibility that someone might change their mind or at least consider the alternate beliefs.

You cannot judge a religion by the face of its followers, much the same as you can't judge a book by its cover. You have to look deeper to make a proper judgment.

And that is why most people seem stubborn.

One of the other reasons is that there are SOOO many religions in the world. There's Allah... buddhists have many gods... you have your one supreme God, the people of Athens believed in several gods like Zeus. Just like you people probably don't believe Zeus existed in real life I don't believe a real God exists. I think they're stories to explain the unexplained.

And people please remember this is a mature thread, don't go around throwing sarcasm and anti-religious comments and the such... we don't want this to turn into an online bloodbath.

I experienced those too. It was the period when I questionned my faith. You're not the only one to go through times like these... if you don't think you're questionning your faith I'd say you're just having a bad day/week/month or something, just a time in your like when odds are against you... the world functions a way that doesn't benefit you.

Can We all just agree to Disagree?

-sMk

we can, but like ahodes1 said, both sides must have their own chance to present their own beliefs

Please tell me

I tell you they did nNOTHING AT ALL!

Why?

Because they arent real!

Cuzzo, although we share the same beliefs, try to back up your points with valid reasons... not just "THEY AREN'T REAL!!"

Comments like that don't stand up very well.

Those are the times you must use your faith to support you rather than question it. Had you done that things would have appeared quite differently.

What makes you think it was Jesus or God?

I think it was a dream that you're interpreting. I've heard about tons of people who dreamed of things like you did and more, such as meteors coming down on earth, armageddon.

I remember watching a documentary when I was very young and a woman claimed she saw God in her dream and he said the Apocalypse would come in 2001 and fire would rain down on our cities... guess what, we're in 2002 and no apocalypse!

Is God real or not? thats a question that every single person has to decide upon. If they chose to follow the ways that God has layed out for us, go right ahead, but if they choose to do something else, like worship buddism, its ok. To have a belief, it makes the person whole with themselves and their surroundings. A religion make them feel like part of a group that they can share their feelings and inner thoughts. So why shall we have a thread like this where people try to make them question about who they are and what they're really on this "Earth" for. Thats all i have to say.

Im not sure about who it was.It was not a nightmare anyway with bizzare symbolic and movie like situations with me in.

All i know is that it was a strange wispering voice that filled my head,it made me remember.It was like no other dream i had.

It was abit uncomfortable,i felt weird some hours after that dream.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Malisk · Posted

      I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
