Is there a God?    Does God exist?     Your answer to the question, Does God Exist? 
depends upon what you mean by the word "God."    Questioning the Existence of God is like asking,
 "Do you exist?"     " What are you?"     "Where did you come from?"     "Why are you here?"     "Where are you going?"     :::

Questions Without Answers

.

.

There are numerous beliefs we'd like to believe were true, but unfortunately, the answers to dozens of life's questions  are simply beyond human understanding.   For example, what is the true nature of electricity, magnetism, and gravity?  Most us us acknowledge there are still unsolved mysteries regarding these topics.  

But when the topic of God comes up,  antiquated, carved in stone, unprovable beliefs replace logic, reason and common sense.    

.

.

.

.

  Here are a few simple questions 
     for those who promote 
           using secular laws to force 
                   others to practice their religion.  

Although the question below are focused around the forced motherhood issue, 
the underlying concepts of these questions are applicable to every area of life.

    When Does Life Begin?   

We know the ultra-conservative, fundamentalist Christians  claim He does, but does God really perform an instantaneous, supernatural, transcendental magic act every time a human egg and sperm unite?    Does God really create a brand new, never-before-existing, separate, complete, eternal, everlasting, sovereign, human being at every conception?   What evidence do you have to support such a claim?   It’s not in the Bible and there’s no scientific evidence to support it.   So where did this religious belief come from? '    

.

.

.

    Are You Your Physical Body?   

How do you know that you are your physical body?   Do you have any evidence to support that belief? '    Is it possible that the real human being is the “spirit” which God says enters the physical body with the breath (Genesis 2:7,  Job 33:4,  Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV) '    and then goes back to God at death? (Ecclesiastes 12:7)   How do you know which of these two possibilities is correct?

.

.

.

.

    Is the Christian Bible Correct?   

Multiple millions believe that the Christian Bible is correct when it say that life begins with breath, and billions more believe in the religions that teach reincarnation.   How is it that you are correct and that both the Christian Bible and billions of people who believe in reincarnation are wrong?

Why do you suppose it is that millions of your fellow Christians also believe the Bible and don't believe in God's conception magic act?   Is it possible that Genesis 2:7,  Job 33:4,  Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV  ' are correct?    Is it possible that one of Satan's agents has told you a lie? 

.

.

.

    Wolves in Sheep's Clothing:  

When someone tells you something, how do you know whether it's the truth or a lie?  If you believe that the Christian Bible is the word of God, who are you going to believe, God or a wolf in sheep's clothing? '   Perhaps you might want to re-read  Genesis 2:7,  Job 33:4,  Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV, '  and Mark 9:42.

.

.

.

.

    Are Lies of Omission God's Work or the Devil's Deception?

Intentionally withholding the truth is a lie.   Intentionally withholding a portion of the truth is also a lie.   Both are called  lies of omission. '   Form the Christian Bible's perspective, deceiving someone is a major sin against God.   Any person intentionally withholding  a portion of the truth is  purposefully peddling a false story.    

And according to the Christian Bible,  the punishment for  telling lies? ' is very sever.    Perhaps the promoters of forced motherhood  would do well to pay attention to  Mark9:42:

“And whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it is better for him that an ass’s millstone were hanged on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.”   

If one is promoting forced motherhood and at the same time,  omitting Genesis 2:7,  Job 33:4,  Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV '   in his speaking out, he is doing the Devil's Deception and not God's work?    He who intentionally deceives another  is putting his eternal salvation at risk.   Why?  

 Because one cannot work for the Devil and still get into heaven!

.

.

    Truth or Pleasant Fiction:  

How do your separate factual evidence from your personal, religious beliefs?   How do you distinguish reality from a belief about reality? '    How do you know the difference?   Can we base secular laws on your personal religious beliefs?   

.

.

.

.

    Selective Literalism:  

If you choose to interpret the Christian Bible literally, then the entire Bible must be interpreted literally,  including passages written below. 

John 14:12 

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."    

Commonly Paraphrased as:   
" Anything I can do, you can do and more."

Luke 17:21 

“Behold, the kingdom of God is within you." 

John 10:34, 35   

"Jesus said to them, Is it not so written in your law you are gods?   If he called them gods because the word of God was with them and the scripture cannot be broken."

Isaiah 41:23 

"Shew [show] the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together."

Psalms 82:6  

"I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High."

Matthew 25:40

"What you do onto the least of mine, you do onto me."

In this passage, where is God?   Is it possible that there aren't really any enemies, but only fellow-god-beings with different points of view  living in human bodies that are only slightly different from our own?

Mark 10:27

"...with God all things are possible."

Ecclesiastes 3:19  

"For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one does, so does the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity." (Reference:  Chief Seattle) '     

Genesis 1:26-27  (Paraphrased)

And God said let us make man in our image,  after our likeness and let them have dominion over all the Earth and over everything upon the Earth.   God created man in his [own] image. . .

Several biblical passages, such as John 14:12,  (" Anything I can do, you can do and more.")  and The Universal Law of Thought   indicate that it's far  more likely that God created man with the capacity to be God-like in behavior and in ability and not to be God-like  in physical form.   

See the web pages which describes   The Universal Law of Thought.   A summary can be found at:

Matthew 6:5-6   (Paraphrased)

When you pray, go into your closet and pray privately.

Genesis 11:6

"And the Lord said, 'Behold the people are one,  and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do: and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have determined to do."

.

Genesis 2:7           .

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

Ecclesiastes 11:5      Ecclesiastes 11:5, RSV    ...

"As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of the woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.”

1 Corinthians 2:14 

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. 

.

John 8:7        

Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone.

    This passage is one of the most poignant messages in the entire Christian Bible.   Stop for a moment and think about this message and what it actually means.   Open the Bible and read this entire parable about condemning another person.  

       Then ask yourself:   "How many mental-stones have I thrown today -- at myself and at others?       Do I really love my neighbor as myself?   Am I a real  Christian or am I just pretending to be one in order to appease my conscience and/or to impress my neighbors?  

       "Know the truth and the truth will set you free."   Hypocrisy doesn't cut the mustard any more.  Just knowing the truth is only takes you half way to freedom.   You must also live the truth -- all of the truth  -- every day --  all day long --  even when that truth exposes the false stories we have been accepting without question.

    Are we our physical human bodies?    
or     
Are we eternal being who simply inhabit physical bodies? 

.

.

    Are we souls with a body,      bodies with a soul,      or 
only lumps of dust that have somehow magically acquired consciousness?  

.

.

    Are you aware that billions of people hold religious beliefs that are in direct conflict with your religious beliefs?   The Christian hierarchy teaches that we our physical human bodies. '    The Eastern religion  teach that we eternal being who simply inhabit physical bodies.   They can't both be right.   So whose right?  

.

    Are you aware that if God does not step in and do His magic act at every conception, that that completely changes the meaning and significance of forced motherhood.   If the Christian story about God’s magic ' act is just a fairytale that somebody made up, how can this be the foundation of secular laws forcing  unwilling women to produce unwanted children?

.

    Since you’ve also been blessed with wealth far in excess of the average human being, and since you are also so confident that you are correct, would you be willing to finance a research project to answer two questions:  
 1)  Where did this magic-act story actually come from?   and  
2)  Is it true?

.

    Are you aware that if humans are eternal spirits and not their physical bodies, that that completely changes the meaning and significance of abortion. '    If we are not our physical bodies, then what's all the anti-abortion fuss about?   If we are our physical bodies, please provide the proof of that.

.

    What is the nature of a human being?   What’s the purpose of human life?   Where did we come from?   Where are we going?   What are we?   Is life on Earth simply a ticket to heaven?   Is life on Earth a test we must pass in order to get into heaven?   Is it possible that human life has some other purpose?  

Are you aware that you need to answer the above two  questions before you can tell us what intentionally terminating a pregnancy actually is and what significance that action actually have. '    Have you read Romans 14:14 lately?

.

    What is this non-physical stuff we call "the mind" or "spirit?   Can there be life without spirit?    

.

    If reincarnation is true and if there is such a thing as karma, what do you suppose you are setting yourself up for?   If the God of the Christian Bible is correct, then what else do you suppose you are setting yourself up for? '     You might want to read Mark 9:42.

How can you ignore Genesis 2:7,  Job 33:4,  Ezekiel 37:1-10,  Ecclesiastes 12:7, Mark 9:42,  and Ecclesiastes 11:5,RSV?   If you really believe that the Bible is the word of God, I'd think you'd be concerned for your eternal soul.   Apparently you aren't concerned.   Why not?  

Are you really Christian?   Or are you a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing? '   If you haven't read those passages you do well to read them.   If you have read them, you'd might want to read them again.

.

    If a woman intentionally aborts a human embryo (inpreterm), is she killing a person or is she simply saying:  "Spirit, I'm not ready to be a mother, so I'm not going to build a body for you to come into.   Perhaps at some later time we can get together."?   How do you know for sure which one she would be doing?

.

    Do the billions of people who believe in reincarnation have a right to practice their religion?   Why do the anti-abortionists adamantly claim religious freedom for themselves and then deny that same right to others?

.

    Are you aware that if you can’t prove that life begins at conception, then you are actually forcing the rest of us to practice your religion?   What gives you the right to play God in someone else’s life?   What about the God-granted rights of every human being? --  rights such as life, liberty, free will, self-determination, freedom of religion, and freedom from religion?   Do you know what FREEDOM FROM RELIGION means?

.

    Where did your religious beliefs come from?   Are  you aware that if you had been born of parents who strongly believed in a religion different from the one you now hold to so dearly, that you'd very likely be an adamant believer of that other religion clinging to it as strongly as you now do to your present religion?   What does that tell you about yourself?  What does that tell you about someone else's religion?  What does that tell you about your own religion?  

Do you know what Spiritual Awareness ' means?   Do you really believe that your religion has exclusive access to God?    Trying to stick God into a single religion is like trying to fit the universe into a shoe box.   What if you don't have access to the complete truth?  What if your beliefs are only partially right?   What if there is something about God that you don't already know?

.

    Have you ever been wrong? '     While you were being wrong, did you know you were wrong?   Is it possible that you are wrong about something right now?   If you are wrong what are the possible consequences of your actions?   Do you know what hellfire and damnation means?   Perhaps you'd better find out what you are setting yourself up for '  when you deny Genesis 2:7

.

    Have you ever looked at forced motherhood from the perspective of some other religion's beliefs?    Are you aware that when one examines abortion in detail and within the contexts of each of these three, basic, religious assumptions (Religious one-life-ism, Atheism, and Reincarnation) '  the evidence leads  to three very different conclusions regarding its significance, its meaning, and its consequences?

.

    Have you considered the possibility that intentionally terminating a pregnancy  is a religious freedom issue? '
