================================================ Subject: Re: LOst Faith From: "Tara" To: Date: Wed 16 May 2001 21:47:57 -0400 ================================================ 1. My mother and my father created me. Going back on that train of though far enough, you get to "Well, who created the first people?" and I don't know what I believe on that one. However, if the argument is that the universe and people are so perfectly designed that there had to be a creator... why can't the same be said about God? If you believe that God has always been, why is it so hard to believe instead that the universe and potential for life just always been, and that life evolved into what there is today? (I didn't explain that well, but that would take a very long e-mail, trying to give the basic idea of the thinking there.) 2. I think I'm here to make the world a better place, and to help others wherever I can. After a lot of thinking about it, I decided that the best way for me to make a positive impact on the world was to be a teacher. I believe that good teachers make a long lasting positive impression on the children they teach, and that positive impact spreads out from the children to affect the other people in their lives... sort of like the ripples in a pond when you toss a stone in it. 3. Lots of theories on this one... the way I was raised, I was told that when people die, that's all there is until God resurrects everyone after Armegeddon. But there are also theories about reincarnation, Heaven, spirits and souls, and so on... I guess the only way I'll know for sure is to watch what happens when I myself die. 4. Depends on individual beliefs... since I'm still searching for my beliefs, I don't know what I believe happens after death, if anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: Crazy M To: Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 2:31 PM Subject: Re: LOst Faith > Dear Matt... > "If you can see God then he can see you,if you can't > see him then he can see you" > put that in your head..he is up there.. > --- > didn't you ask yourself the following questions? > 1)who created me? > 2)why I'm here?to do what? > 3)what will happen to after I sleep in the grave? > 4)is that the end? > ----- > about the bad words.. > (people who live in glass houses should not throw > stones) > honesty is the best policy...do as your would be done > by... > MAAAAAAAAAAT... > > .DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
