As a Christian, walay mawala if i believe.
kung atheist, naay mawala... iyang salvation.

do we have a choice?

Allow me to expand this question. "Do we still have the choice NOT to follow him?"

Niandar napud na imo pag one-sided/double standard thinking.

Walay mawala nimo if motuo ka pero naai mawala if athiest? GIkalimtan nimo bai ngano nagpost ka ani na thread. IF proven walay ginoo? Unsay mawala nimo as a christian? Kabug-at kaha anang ulawa noh? Not to mention the billions out there naulawan. Not to mention as well the thousands of years of FEEDING the lies (and building of shame)! BUt knowing christians na mahilig mangamong I'm pretty sure no big deal ni para ninyo.

I think whatever we "believe"--it governs our life.

So, it is very important that your belief brings out the best in you.
My great grand father, Nicolas Perez, founded his own church.
He is the mentor of Eli Soriano(--for those who did not know)

In my case, I grew up and raised reading the bible.
I grew up a christian and I admit, I was a "good" christian.
I was judgmental and self righteous.
But I knew there was something wrong with my faith and my behavior.
As I grew older and wiser, I opened my mind to the universe.
That is when I changed my belief.
And i realized that I have a gift.
A gift that my belief would not even acknowledge before.

And since then---
everything changed for the better.
I knew my talents, my gifts and my purpose.
And i understand life in the universe better now.

This is all because I left my old faith.
So, right or wrong,
I'm happier now not believing in any religion.

lol... i wonder what the "true GOD" will do if we choose NOT to follow him. maybe he'll wipe us out like what the Judeo-Christian GOD did in the Old Testament.

if the God-person shows himself beyond any doubt and declares his will, then so be it.. afterall, we are all after the truth.. if the truth is there, then what point is their of not believing...

if my presumptions bout him are worng, then i would change it.. if i were a christian then the muslims were right afterall, then why shouldnt i go with them?

ato lang i reverse ang scenario ha... what if the atheists were right? will you still have an open mind?.. what if you are very religious person (say like the pope), would you accept the truth? that most of your life, your belief was incorrect..

thats a good question, so personally, i'll change my belief system. but it doesnt mean i should also change my morals right? . do you agree that morals and faith are 2 different things?

Anything that exists can be destroyed bai. If ever naai ginoo he can be destroyed. nothing is indestructible.

no, but i believe atheist acquired their morals from some religious teaching or from the society they live in. in other words its not self acquired but tough.
