Okay, there is a bit of a story here so bare with me.
Today a friend and I were discussing God and humans. Pretty interesting, right? Tim (my friend) is a devout Christian and a self admitted prude. He's uptight and honestly, I am not around him much because he sees my lack of faith in his God as a threat. In other words my secular activity is something he sees as something that could easily get him off track.(pretty arrogant to me)
He and I were speaking of dating and he told me dating is dangerous and that it sets you up for divorce and that without God I will never find someone to wed because I have no idea what love is because I do not love God.
He has also told me that on our own, us people are all evil. I combated him on these ideas and he kept tracing it back into life. Our conversation was cut short-so I'm left not understanding things but now feeling as if I am somehow inadequate.
So tell me folks, do I need a God to get married, be happy, and be a good person?
Tim thinks so, but I've been happy and affectionate before without a god for guidance.

    God is inadequate and the complete opposite of love, to be honest, you're better off without him. You can get married, find love, or whatever without the use of some bipolar, schizophrenic man (God).

    Well you dont need god to get married and be a good person. God is someone to talk to. I love him. He makes me happy. Hes always there for me. Sometimes it feels like hes not there but hes always there. Hes a friend not a master and he dosent control people. Yes he tells you what to do but he dosent make you do them. He wont send you to hell if you dont do something. Dont ever listen to those people. He gives us a choice. We are all free. Its not his fault bad things happen its ours. God dosent try to ruin our lives. He tries his best to make our lives great. When i had a house fire i lost my cats which were there since i was born. I tried suicide several times and i turned away from god. But when i started talking to him i felt better. Some people wont believe me but when my mom was a child she went on a boat and it flipped no one could find her but she said she saw an angel and that angel put her arm in her grandmas hand and saved her without god i wouldnt been here now neither would be my mom.

    Happiness comes from the things around you... family, money, job, toys. JOY, comes from GOD. I can be happy in my situation...but, without the Joy of the Lord, and knowing that when I die, I will have Heaven... then in the Big Picture, my life is meaningless.

    None of the above because there is no evidence that your friend's god exists outside of his deluded mind. Faith is just another word for gullibility...

    And it really sounds like this guy doesn't want to be your friend, Brooke. If he can't look past his own religion and constantly judges you because of it? You don't need him around. Abusive relationships are not good relationships.

    Yes you can find happiness and love without God. I don't care what 666 says. I saw she was trying to confuse you. I wasn't going to sit and watch that. You had a serious question that requires a serious answer. My answer is mixed. Can you find love and happiness without God? Yes ! But It is a LOT better in all respects if you do have God in your life. It's a choice. But why not have all the happiness you can if you have God. Just a suggestion. OK?

    You are correct . It does depend on yourself for the most part but in my opinion if you make him part of your life, it just makes it better. JMO

    You are full of hate and honestly I see you as violent. Why are you so intemidated by God or people who choose to believe. Don't believe if it is your wish. But you obviously have some form of mental impotence to feel that you have to trash a person's faith or their choice not to believe. You are very intimidated by faith. I know you will come back with some kind of foolish retort. That's ok. I am stronger than you and can take whatever you feel a lame need to say. So, have at it !

    Brooke had a serious honet question. He just spews his hatred and stupidity. I don't care if he believes or not but he needs to realize Brooke's situation. He could have answered a little more intelligently that he doesn't believe without all his drama. I don't care if you believe or not that is your choice. But you should have consideration of those that do believe. I don't question what you believe. Just why you feelthe need to say it. Hatred? pain? ignorance? Violence? Maybe a combination of things. I just suggest a little more consideration. JMO

    Really? Because I put a gender. "Female". I have periods, boobs, and a vagina. That makes me a female.

    That would be a normal assumption for most but you list yourself as "BI". That means you aren't sure what you are.

    That's sexuality and I'm sure I find both girls and guys attractive. No indecision there. You're talking about gender and that's obvious.
