There's no real proof Satan, or yes even god, exists. You are tasked with trusting in it.

What really made me mad was when one of my classmates got in a car crash and everyone was blabbing about "prayers" this and that. Then when he inevitably died (brain damage), everyone sheepishly says god works in mysterious ways. Yeah if mysterious is 50/50. Whenever something good happens we praise the lord and whenever something bad happens, we still praise him. So if there is no losing, then why pray? Most of us knew he was going to die, and praying only gave everyone a false sense of hope.

How I felt, when I was having rough times. I felt no help in praying, no help was given when you need it most. So that's why I choose not to believe. Although I am looking for something to believe, there has to be some sort of afterlife otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I don't even know why I'm here, why did my soul come into this body? Where was I before? I have so many questions, but only time will tell. When I die, I'll know.

Praying is most likely to give the person peace if he/she dies going into the afterlife.
But yeah, nobody really knows if prayer works.

Idk, I can say God answered many of my "prayers" (wishes), but they can just be coincidences.
But it's always coincidences I prayed for.

But then it's too late if there is a hell.
Which I feel was bull **** to just force us into life we never asked for, and then "God" expects us to waste more than half of this life he gave us worshipping somebody who we don't exist? Then we get punished....nice.

Well... realistically speaking:
- When you record something that's underground and covered by a building, it will create a lot of weird echoes from inside and around the building.
- Well= water water= weird noises
- Frog men- maybe in the military... but actual frog person, that just can't happen
- Don't make an article about something where you claim it's factual but you then say "legend has it"
- Man-made well= not bottomless

Don't worry mate, it would probably be debunked if it wasn't making so much money off of tourists.

I like your thoughts here. But what is your take on religion?

I'm atheist, but religion doesn't bother me. You can believe what you want, just don't harm others while you're at it.

I hear this all the time.
But why be athiest? Why not take the chance to believe in something. Cuz it doesn't make sense if we are just magically living out of nothing.
Me, I consider myself agnostic.

Well I like tanks which are killing machines so it wouldn't be right. Also, I'm a realist, I just don't need to believe in a magical being.

Well what is so 'real' from us just being here? Do we just have this life for no reason?

And it's not bad to like tanks.
Some people love guns...some people play shooting games, but that doesn't mean they're a bad person.
One who believes somebody should go to hell for that is acting ridiculous and needs a reality check.

I find it hard to believe in a religion humans made up for the most part. Who says all this stuff is true? A book? I'm supposed to base my whole life around a book that could very well be fake? Who gave this book credit anyway? The fictional novel I'm reading right now could be true in 800 years.

I don't know, I still go to church but sometimes I think I'm wasting my time. How can I believe in something so far fetched that has no proof to back it up?
