[LDG519]

I just went back and read through everything that I previously hadn't read before and thought I would leave my 2 cents worth despite the conversation lines being long gone by now.

I think in the case of STM supposed knowledg of an after life, although beleif does not substitute knowledge in the mind of the person who belives, they know until proven otherwise (for many years scientists belived and knew the earth was flat, until proven otherwise) on the other hand I can see how someone claiming to know something that he couldn't possably know can be easily interpreted as arogent.

this is a bit off topic but someone mentioned that if a metior hit it wouldn't stop the sun from setting, in most cases this would be true but in extreamly improbable circumstances it could change the earths rotation in a way were one side would continuously face away from the sun, preventing the sun from setting, however I think everyone would be more concerned with the extream wind than the earths rotation.

back on topic I do belive in an afterlife, however I have trouble comprehending hell, the Idea of infinate punishment for a finate amount of sin conflicts with a fair and just god, and I would prefer to belive that god is fair.

someone mentiond that church services were boring as, and you were spot on, the only reasons I still go is cause I have friends there and to avoid mum asking why I'm not going and dad trying to convert me back to the mormans cause he thinks my faith is faultering.

as I stated in a previouse post science and religion shouldn't have to conflict and were they do science will more often be right, some of the christian beleifs I dislike the most are:
the universe is only 7 thousand years old, despite strong evidance against it
and the nonexistance of aliens despite the larg size of the universe

that's all for now (dinners getting cold)
