Questions: Religion & Spirituality

I don’t want arguments here. I am a Christian, whatever you believe feel free to share it. I don’t want shaming from anyone-that includes atheists. (Some of the most rude comments about others beliefs I have seen are from atheists)

I have more reasons to believe than I can list here. However I do believe there’s so much more to a being than flesh and hormones. I’m not denying aspects of evolution within species or that the world is older than a couple thousand years (the Bible never actually gives a time stamp by the way that’s a myth) but I do believe there are things beyond any scientific comprehension. I believe while science is the how, God is the why.

Anyway, everyone is entitled to their beliefs but be respectful and don’t act like anyone is an idiot for their beliefs. Because no one-Pastor or Scientist-has anywhere near all the answers.

Inspired by the quote by Arthur Schopenhauer:

"A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants",

meaning that we can control the things we do, but we can't control the things we like or dislike, nor can we control how we feel at any one time (rather, it's more of an involuntary response to the situation which we then choose how to react or cope with it) - but these are precisely the factors which determine our line of action and lifestyle. So in that sense, we don't truly have free will.
