    Everyone is entiled to have thier own beleifs, but nothing anyone else says shall change my mind upon the subject. I belive in living by the rule of revenge, and more then anyone elses ideology I am going to belive my own personal experince.

    Thus far, I have no regrets for making this choice and thus have no reason to do anything differently.

    Good on you, every one respects your belief and no one is trying to convert your views. We are just trying to get an insight why you believe so. Your input is much appreciated.

    Revenge = Evil, is that not a direct criticism of my belief as well as an attempt to "reform me"

    While you are entitled to hold views against revenge, by making such remarks you are making a direct judgement, not simply seeking understanding.

    Revenge = evil is a sign of showing my belief, nothing more.
    My view has nothing to do with seeking understanding. I seek understanding my reading other people's thoughts about this thread including yours.
    How would my own views satisfy my own hunger for understanding?

Its US that have to fight against evil as we are born neutral, capable of swinging towards either side. WE have to fight temptations that are evil such as lying and stealing. These things have reasons in real life too, like how a small insignificant lie may grow into a major lie that will inevitable lead into continuous and destructable conflicts.

    this is the main point at which christianity fails.
    if god is the creator, then the universe is a cavity inside god, who is infinite and unimaginable (ain soph). if god created the universe, then everything inside this universe, which is god, is god. if all things in the universe, which is god, are made by the combination of two opposites (cold and hot, soft and hard, far and close, light and dark, and so on) how is it possible to state that only hot, for instance, is god? how about cold, it isnt? HOW? if everything is inside the universe, which is god, is god, how can you say, and expect to be taken seriously, that god is only light? truth? righteousness?
    dark, and mischief, and weakness is also god. there is nothing besides god in here, for everything exists in him. you christians say god is good, and satan is evil, but who created "satan"? god created evil, therefore god is evil too. god is darkness. and "satan" is also god. everything is god, for nothing exists outside of it.

    First, I want to point out that God is not everything. What He created is NOT God. Since when do you look at a piece of stone and hail all God almighty? God created us, however are we Him? We may be made in the image of Him but I fear that human is no where near being depicted as God. What He created is simply a beautiful footprint, no more.

    Yes God created satan but I believe he is beneficial to God because evil serves God as God is almighty. Even though God created us, He gave us freewill, and our decisions is not of God's. A builder and his building arent the same thing. Do you see the difference of my view of God and His creations?

    God is light, and only the most pure, powerful light. Absence of God, therefore absence of light = darkness and all the metaphors that represent it.

    I believe this is thread for revenge, not religions and God, so I think this topic is best discussed in the religious thread.
