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.

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      A McDonald's restaurant uses about 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water per year for operations like food preparation, cleaning, and restrooms. That is a lot less than the 2,083 gallons of water per megawatt hour mentioned above.
