Priest says Hell is an invention to control people

Amen!

I've always thought that the concept of "do good, you go to Heaven but do bad, you go to Hell" is so simplistic that if you base your philosophy and morality around that, para ka lang bata.

Better to be simple than complicated. Life is meant to be simple NOT complicated.

#2 of The Ten Commandments

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: "

the constitution guarantees free exercise of religion as well as self expression....

those who think that they were OA, yes they were, but learn to live with it...

the Muslim counterpart of this idol worshiping people are the Muslim Extremists.
Too much faith, but doesn't use God's greatest gift... the brain.

tony · « **Reply #1176 on:** Jan 10, 2015 at 10:54 AM »

that is why it is called faith...if they had brains would you think they will act that way?

if majority of members of those religions acts foolishly... then what they have is a false/blind faith... false/fake religion requires false faith...

it doesnt matter whether you have a religon or none... as long as you have true faith...

That makes it even easier.

Yung kay Stephen Fry, bakit daw sa children, samantalang walang kasalanan ang children.

Remove "children" from the question, and the question becomes even easier.

dahil ibig sabihin nun ay sarili mo lang iniisip mo. diba christianity is doing good things for others? so ang premise mo ay mali na kaagad dahil simula pa lang ang objective mo ay salbahin ang sarili mo. lahat ng ginagawa mo na kabutihan pagsunod sa utos ng diyos ay para masalba ang sarili mo. magugustuhan ba ng diyos mo yun?

when it comes to salvation, there is no such word "for others"... salvation is personal...
when it comes to salvation, there is no such word "good works"... salvation is free...

Interesting discussion over at the Atheism/Agnosticism in the Philippines Thread

Quote from: barrister on Feb 26, 2015 at 10:30 PM

You might be surprised, but I believe that according to the bible, God is omnipotent, but He is not omniscient or omnipresent.

This view is controversial, and it will require a very complex analysis.

Quote from: sirhc on Feb 27, 2015 at 08:15 AM

Care to expound on that atty? I'm just curious, would being not omniscient and omnipresent would negate his being omnipotent? By the definition itself, an omnipotent being can technically be able to know everything and be everywhere.

Quote from: barrister on Feb 27, 2015 at 09:09 AM

My beliefs are based on the bible. Therefore, I restrict myself to the discipline of confining the concept of omnipotence as defined in the bible, not as defined in a dictionary or an encyclopedia.

I can't discuss it fully on this thread, since this thread is about atheism/agnosticism. But I'll be glad to expound if you will kindly repost your question here: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,141525.1170.html

In the meantime, here's a brief overview:

1. God is not omnipresent. He is in heaven; he is not "everywhere."

2. God is not omniscient. He knows what we are thinking, but He does not know beforehand what we are going to think.
