My Unpopular Opinion

I am weak that's why I lean on God He gives me strength, and if that is weak, then hey at least I know I won't fry in hell.

I won't either, because it's a made-up place

lets hope so for your sake, but hey if it's a made up place then I don't have nothing to worry about either, but if not if it is real, then what? You DON'T KNOW that, you just have faith it's not real.

You're absolutely right, I don't know for sure. But I feel confident enough that I'll take my chances.

Hope that works out for ya. I'm not one that will push my beliefs on you, because I do feel that only God himself can convict your heart, but when opportunity arises, and I see a chance to talk about it, I will. You are apparently set in your ways. I will just pray that something changes your heart before it's too late. Just remember though, you have free will to believe that way, as I do I to believe the way I believe. Your opinion is not unpopular and that is sad IMO...

Harry Potter sucks.

AND ANOTHER THING.

You can be an atheist like me and not be a *kitten* about people choosing to be religious or preach their religion. Just sayin. I have plenty of Christian friends and we can get along without sharing the same views of where we go when we die. Focus on the here an now because we're in this together.

While we're on the subject of unpopular opinions and prayer, I find prayer to be a waste of time. All these religious people want to "pray for me", "pray for peace", "pray for the Jets to win the Superbowl" and it gives people the feeling of accomplishment without actually requiring them to actually do anything.

Don't bother praying for me - use the energy to actually help people who need it.

swimming is not fun. I don't understand why everyone wants to go swimming all the damn time.

Why do they? I like it okay, but its not the best thing ever! lol

I got a question. I'm not particularly religious but why is it ok to bash something that might be the only thing that's keeping someone going? It's not hurting them if they believe, it's HELPING them, whether its real or not. If you don't believe, GOOD FOR YOU...why is it necessary to bash people that do? I've never understood that. I've never understood the whole Atheism thing. If you don't believe in God...just don't. Why is there a label for it? I don't believe in Buddha but I don't go around posting graphics poking fun at people who do or getting mad at a Buddhist person for talking about it. I read a quote the other day that makes a good point.

Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.

If you don't believe in it...why are you talking about it? Why are you offended when someone tells you you're going to hell if you don't believe in it? When I was in first grade some kid told me that I wasn't going to get any presents because I didn't believe in Santa Claus. Did I get mad? No, because I knew I was getting presents. Did I tell him he was dumb for believing in Santa Claus? No, because if that made him happy, who cares, it doesn't hurt me. On Christmas day BOTH of us got presents. Neither of us were harmed in the process...It's sad that I had more sense as a 6 year old than some of the so called adults in the world.

My unpopular opinion is that if you have a belief/religious ideology, you should keep it to yourself because preaching to people who don't want to hear it, isn't going to make God listen to you any more than he is now.

also, I'm religious. So I don't need the backlash.

The reason people "Preach" their faith is because the bible says to go out and teach all the world. We are suppose to do that, it's your choice to not listen, but I do not wish to stand in front of God and be asked why I didn't preach his word when he convicted my heart to do so. This can go another way, how about if people don't want to be preached at, have some respect for those who do believe and stop trying to push that he isn't real on everyone? No one came in here preaching till someone had to bring faith and christian bashing in it. God is a touchy subject, have you ever wondered why? Why if God is not real do people try so hard to force others to not believe in him? Why is it so meaningful for someone who has no beliefs to talk people out of believing in God? They don't make that big of a deal out of Santa clause or the Easter bunny, so if God is not real, why in the world do people want so badly to turn others from him?

I would like to refer you to Matthew 6:5

Matthew 6:5 is not refering to sharing the Gospel of Christ. It is solely about certain aspects of prayer. Different topic.

Honestly, the reason people are so against God is maybe because religion has been one of the single most traumatic ideologies to ever hit plant earth. Wars, suicides, murder, crusades. My point was, we should leave it alone and bring it up with people who want to talk about it. Let religion go to a thread about religion, not an unpopular belief thread.

That's the problem everyone is fighting over religion, religion is a man made thing. I'm not a religious person, but I am a Christian. I do not worship a religion I worship the GOD.

Then how can you quote the bible? It was made for the christian religion. If you simply worship GOD then you cannot look at manmade things to support a religious belief.

ok..you guys are gonna hate me for this


I want to kill my television

what's up with the way some young girls dress today?

i don't like Oprah

young girls - after they post pictures on Facebook of their fashion (which I now call dental floss fashion), and people call them names and pick on them that they are $luts, they complain!
I know I sound unsensitive to cyber bullying right now. But if you want to be treated or called a lady, then you have to act and dress like one!!!

The bible is not manmade the bible was written inspired by God, of course he didn't hand write it but I do believe in the bible and I believe in God, but I am not a religious person.

If you think about it the talk of religion definately belongs in a thread of unpopular opinions as shown just by reading this thread. Everyone makes their choices. We all live with our own. It should be just as accetable to talk about Christ as it is to talk about Muhammed, or some athiest scholar but it's not because when a Christian speaks out about their beliefs its all hands on deck and weapons drawn against them.

It's harmless typed words on a message board floating around out in outer space......me saying that Jesus Christ is Lord and the only way to Heaven shouldn't offend anyone really.....but I'm ok with it being an unpopular "opinion" just like I'm perfectly ok with you not believing.

Not once did I say I didn't believe. In fact I very clearly state I am religious, I just don't need to shove it down all these good peoples throats.

I just dont think discussing this is shoving it down someone's throat. People can get passionate on these boards but it's really impossible to force anything on someone. In fact, a board like this is pretty harmless when it comes to shoving things down someone's throat. NO ONE is forced to believe in Christ and no one can be forced.

I don't like pie.

I refuse to believe there are people who don't like pie.

I DO exist!!

If me standing up for what I believe in is shoving it down people's throats maybe you need to go back and re-read what I have said and where it all started. Having atheist come in and right off the bat cut down something I do believe in very much so, it's one of them things that I can't just sit there and not say nothing. This is why God should not have even been brought to this thread, but a Christian didn't even bring it up. Go figure! I have plenty of Atheist friends and they are very respectful toward me and my beliefs and I am of theirs as well.
