No I do not mind this. Actually I find if you cannot at least try to back up what you believe then why believe it at all?
Anyways….

Yes animals survive through camouflage and etc, but that still doesn’t explain why or how it is possible. All the experiments to create life from mixing random chemicals have never worked, most mutations that happen in humans or animals end up in shorter lives or mental retardation. Dying out because they were not fit, survival of the fittest, yes I know of this for years now. This would mean though that every animal and human being now is better equipped to survive than the those from thousands of years ago, but then why are we finding more and more of these awful mutations that do more harm than good. Shouldn’t we be improving rather than de-improving over the years? Maybe not the best example ever, but look at purebred dogs. They have been so over-bred, selectively bred, taking the strongest mother and father and a lot of these dogs have major problems.

Next part!

“They say “Pray to god many times a day. Don’t love anyone more than god. Don’t have fun in something else than talking to god.”
Actually I would like to amend that. Most things like don’t listen to rock music, or don’t wear this kind of clothing is a man made rule that establishments such as the Catholic church has made up to keep people in line. The only rules that are a must are in the 10 commandments. There is nothing in the Bible that forbids doing fun things. In the old testament God did set up certain guidelines for the Jews, but those were in the old testament before Christ came. Afterwards there were not rules and regulations of that kind, the only thing he asked is that you believe in follow. This is something a lot of people I know have a hard time with because so many “churches” have set up rules of what you can or cannot do in order to be saved. I do not follow a church, I find most churches are very off in their view of God, and imo are more looking to impress people and fill their own pockets. Many establishments have lost their base founding and therefore set up rules and regulations, they get anal with what should or should not be done. That is not true Christianity, in my opinion.
True Christianity is a relationship between you and God alone. Nobody should dictate to you what you can or cannot do. Anything added to the commandments is something some kind of establishment has set up.

I do not depend on him like a small child would their father. I look at him as a father but as more of guidance and yes support but not in the way of helpless kid.
“And if he gives us a free will but he doesn’t like when we live not in a fellowship with him seems a little like black-mailing someone; “adore me or I’ll won’t like you”. Please correct me if I misunderstood something …”
He loves everyone equally, even the baddies, since we are His. He gave us all free will because he loves us, but since we “sinned” that put up a barrier and that separates us from him. Not coming to Him doesn’t mean He’ll hate you because God is not hate, he love. I find this is where many Christians fail too, they preach only fire and brimstone, that God hates sinners. Which no he hates sin, but he loves the sinners. For the same way a friend or family member might have wronged you, you hate what they’ve done to you but you still love them.

Hope that made sense!

Thank you very much for your response. It is very great getting the chance to talk with someone about these things. Sadly I often made the experience many christians don’t want to talk about some critical “parts” of their believe, so I’m glad there are also the other ones who do not shrink back if someone wants to know it precisly.

The other thing is, your explaining caused some new questions. But if you think this goes too far and doesn’t belong to your web site I won’t blame you! But I hope it doesn’t hurt to ask.

You wonder how so many living beings, complex life, could have rised “just by random chance”. Actually this is a really good question!
I could imagine evolution is like water: It always uses the shortest ways, the best possibility to go on its way. So why a horse should have five legs if four already are good enough? A horse cannot stand on three legs, so “it got a fourth one” because a three-legged-horse wouldn’t have survived over the times. I think this is the only secret how live became so complex. Animals survived just because of there camouflage or there strength, other kinds which hadn’t these things died out. This is what you know as “selection of evolution”, but ‘course you also can say it’s selection of god.

It sounds great god gave us a free will and he didn’t want us to be robots. But if I see what some christians people want to force to, I wouldn’t be so sure about “not have to be a robot”. They say “Pray to god many times a day. Don’t love anyone more than god. Don’t have fun in something else than talking to god.” If you’d be following all these instructions, live abstemiously, you wouldn’t be so different from a robot, I fear.
And if he gives us a free will but he doesn’t like when we live not in a fellowship with him seems a little like black-mailing someone; “adore me or I’ll won’t like you”. Please correct me if I misunderstood something …

The example “parents and their teenager” is a great one, I think. God is like a father to us, christians always say. So they long to a father they can trust over their whole live. But honestly: Do you want to be depending on your father your whole life? Isn’t it so the day comes the young man moves to it’s own appartment having his own life with his own friends without explaining the parents where he had been when he comes home late and so on?
Sigmund Freud said “At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.” And he said that the humans project their problems, they get while making human experiences, on him, their father, because it releases the mind.

I hope I don’t overstrain your patience with so many questions but I really like to understand how believers handle this.

Best regards,
Jens

Well this is my take on the evolution, creation thing. Now a lot of people take it quite literal. It’s never said how long a day is in Genesis. Days could have been in a different measure of time then or like it says in one part of the Bible that one day for God is like a thousand years to us. (2 Peter 3:8) or (Psalm 90:4)

Second is nobody knows how God made the creatures of earth. Maybe He used evolution. Maybe He didn’t. I do not believe we evolved from ooze or monkeys, I do believe that God created us, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t let his creature adapt and change. I don’t believe in one species evolving into another, but I do believe that there can, over time, be many different changes in a species so it creates another sub species. Adaptation is everywhere and can be seen everyday.

The last part is, I just don’t see how some things that are so complex could just happen by random chance. Even some of the simplest and smallest creatures have a complex makeup. I just find it hard to believe that all that could come from nothing.

Now as to your second batch of questions. And I hope I answer all of it alright.

God gave us something called “free will”. Meaning we do what we want when we want. He loves us enough that when he created us He didn’t want us to be robots. He didn’t want to control our every move, hence the reason we were separated from Him by disobedience.
When we were created, we were created for fellowship with God. He wants to be a part of our lives but when Adam and Eve disobeyed his one rule they allowed Satan to steal that fellowship away.

This disobedience put a wall up between us and God. Now God still loves us very much and cares about us so He made a way for use to regain that fellowship, but He gives us a choice as to whether or not we want to accept it. Some welcome it and others choose to reject this and go their own way. They get entangled in the darkness of the world. God allows them because it’s their own free choice. He doesn’t like it, but He allows it. It’s like a parent when their teenager gets to a certain age. They let their child spread their wings and get a taste of the real world and sometimes they fall.

God cares about us because we’re His creation and He wants nothing more than for us to regain the fellowship with Him that we once had before the disobedience.

I hope this has answered your question!

Thanks again for the comment and questions! I think your English was pretty darn good.

first of all I want you to know that I like you art yery much. Your furry pictures and your comic strips are very beautiful and great to see.

And I’m glad you are handling this sometimes difficult theme about religion so good as you are doing, you are honest and you don’t hide your thoughts, feelings and your opinion. I’d say, this is something you also can be very proud on!

But I don’t want to hide I have a different look on this topic. I don’t believe in god and I’m always wondering how people can. But this shouldn’t be a reason to argue with you!
If it’s ok, I’d like to ask you some questions and if you feel to, you can answer me.

One of these different looks is that I cannot imagine the earth is made by god in six days (sunday is a day to rast). So many people, first of all Charles Darwin, prooved that nature itselves developped what we know today. The evolution took a long time to become what nature is now. How do the six days get in there?

Another thing is what so many people (also christians!) are wondering: When there is a god, why does he accept the bad things men are doing? Why does he just watch during the strongest are killing the weakest, men are burning down forests and killing kinds of animals, killing and torturing each other? Aren’t all living beings created by this “man” up there, as christians are saying? So why it doesn’t metter to him what they are doing? Of course, you can answer “It’s ours what we are doing with the things god gave us”. But when it is this way why would we need a god anyway?

These are just two of my many questions about god and the christians and I’d be glad if you take time to answer me how you think about this. ^.^

I hope you will apologize my English, I’m still practicing!

Thank you very much and please keep on drawing such beautiful pictures.

Sincerly,
Jens
