I mean unless you're a believer god has zero impact on your life? That's kind of a thin argument, it makes no sense. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | It's interesting that there are 535 million Buddhists in the world and they don't believe in a creator god or a personal god. If god is so obvious and reasonable and logical as Xtianity claims, how did it escape this huge religion entirely. Are they clueless dopes? Hardly. They felt no need to invent a god, which is the only place god exists, in peoples minds. Buddhism began in India 2500 years ago. Simply put, Buddhism believes you can improve your life by cultivating wisdom and virtue. No need to invent a god and all the melodrama that goes with it. Waste of time and energy. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Obviously this was gods plan for this young man, I see no problem with it. Never question gods plan concerning Xtians. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Few if any of the paintings on display in St. Peter’s Basilica are actually paintings. They are mosaic reproductions of the originals stored out of public view for safe keeping. This is the mosaic reproduction of Raphael's 'The Transfiguration':  |

So many white people. Is there any paintings in the Vatican that have people of color in them? I don't know, that's why I'm asking. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Christianity has existed in Ethiopia since the 1st Century AD and became the state religion in the 3rd century. Ethiopian paintings show black people and Saints. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
