Bintybaby Posted at 12:03 pm on June 17, 2003 I don't know that god is a women but think about it. God made human race. If god was a man why wouldn't she give men the ability to give life to humans. Women do all the work in the creation. So men create sperm woo hoo. But women do the important part. We care the babys for 9 months. We give birth. No offense men pass out when we have children. You just need to look at the bible more closely. And the people who wrote about God were of course MEN so the made God a he. We don't know what God really is but just look at the facts!!! trackster32 Posted at 4:19 pm on June 16, 2003 Quote: from TheCelloChick at 12:40 am on June 15, 2003 In my opinion, hell is just an idea that acts as a threat so people will act morally. I think it is an unreasonable idea to ask that everyone acepts jesus christ as their lord, as so many people believe so many different things. If god is our creator and can grant forgiveness, why can't he accept that all people will have their own beleifs or non-beliefs?? really it doesnt seem to be that way S U P E R D A V E Posted at 3:24 pm on June 16, 2003 God could be female.  Of course, seeing a female with Santa Claus outfits on would be scary too. love2chat Posted at 1:08 pm on June 16, 2003 i dont think it matters what religion you are. if u sin u have to be punished. in a way whenevr u sin u r punishing some1 else (eg.stealing makes the shopkeeper lose well earned money) and God is showing u what that feels like. its not till you are truly sorry that u can leave hell. i do not believe that you are stuck there for eternity! sportybeth87 Posted at 12:59 am on June 16, 2003 I liked the way you think god might be a girl, but from the way you write its seems you are sure god is a woman. PureEvil Posted at 7:25 pm on June 15, 2003 it really is. i asked him once.... S U P E R D A V E Posted at 3:35 pm on June 15, 2003 Hell is God's jacuzzi. Bintybaby Posted at 12:00 am on June 15, 2003 Like I keep saying the bible was written by men not god therefore it has flaws. We don't know what they are but they exist. If god herself had written it it would be perfect. Honestly I don't believe in hell. I think its just there to scare us into being good. Have you ever been raped or have a loved one murdered? Being raped is one of the worest things that could ever happen to a women. If you have ever been raped you would want that rapist to suffer because you will have that memory of what happened to you with you forever.  But those who commit suicide shouldn't be condemed because they want to go to heaven because they can't handle earth. i know god has a plan written for us all but is that really in it? is rape and murder and suicide really there? Maybe she isn't a great god. Maybe this is hell! TheCelloChick Posted at 10:40 pm on June 14, 2003 In my opinion, hell is just an idea that acts as a threat so people will act morally.
