Kind of a deep question. - Page 4 - Religion, God, and Theology

LOL! Well, I didn't originally post the Corinthians passage and wouldn't have in this case, so I choose "doesn't apply." But they certainly cannot be said to be contradictory.

While I do find science fascinating, I always wish that I could somehow believe in God again, or believe in something. Becoming an atheist has made me some what depressed and jaded. The harder I try though to again become religious, the more unbelievable and ridiculous religion seems.

Here is my question to you.. do any of you wish that you could believe again, erase all the knowledge you know and honestly think that both God and heaven exist (Due to hell not being part in Judaism, I'm not sure where this would fit in with many Christians).

No. For the same reason I don't wish to walk through my whole life in a drug-induced altered state.

This doesn't stop people like you quoting from whatever verse suits your purpose at the time -- even though you know full well that the verse is contradicted elsewhere.

It's fun. You should try it sometime.
