I beleive there is a Supreme Entity, however, he has very little influence over Santa Claus. I still haven’t gotten my Lionel train from Christmas 1962. 😥 😥 😥

I wonder if Santa got us mixed up.

Did you get coal instead? Because that is what I asked for so we could put it in the stove to warm our home.

Instead I got this stupid Lionel train that went around in circles while I froze my a$$ off during the cold winter.

I believe that God hears our prayers and answers them all, but the answer is not necessarily what we expected.

The universe is explained by the big bang and evolution explains how one form of animal or bacteria can become another form. God is no longer necessary for the equation.

You, in this instance, have offered reasoned thought and not irrational rant. I believe there was a "Big Bang" and evolution too. I also believe there is a supreme being that could have directed it all. Or perhaps God himself is a result of the Big Bang and evolved.

Because you see no reason to believe, however, does not negate our reasons or need.

Religion is a tough issue for many people, how can you beleive in god when you can’t see him? How can you beleive
in a good and just god when there is so much evil around. Hard questions, but to be honest beleiving in anything
can be hard.

look into your grand kids eyes and then explain how this came about from the big bang theory????

Look at evolution… see that explains it all,…..except…. what created what evolution started with?????

A good god would not allow all the suffering.. so people dont beleive in god…. you cant hate some
thing you dont beleive in..

My point is it can be hard to beleive in god. but just as hard not to…. one point always stands out to
me…..hope… to beleive in god is hope….that is a human trade mark….. to beleive in no hope????

well you have a choice.
For me i have to beleive in god and hope, or i would have a very hard time looking into
the eyes of my grand kids………
