pmwww | | Beliefs (14th Mar 08 at 1:55am UTC) | | Now, this is a little different from religion.
I want to know what your beliefs are; what do you get your morals from? How do you think everything came to be? If you're religious, what parts of your religion do you not follow?
Just general things about your beliefs on how life was created, and what do you go by to govern your own behaviour.
Please, do not downtrot others in any way.
For me, I get my morals from the Christian religion, but also just common decency and respect. I believe that everyone should be treated equally, provided that they treat others equally as well.
I believe in God, and that he created the universe and everything. However, one thing I find hard to believe is how he decides who goes to heaven/hell.
I highly doubt that he would send someone who's been a kind-hearted, decent person their entire life to hell, just because they do not believe in him. I believe that as long as you lead a good life, and treat everyone with respect, and try to help others, that you'll go to heaven just the same as us who do believe.  | |

I'm never rude around adults, or parents friends unless its a friend who I don't care about what their parent thinks about me. It's just something I can't help. I'll be a totally different person around adults and watch the things I say and generally more quite.
I don't use profanity around girls unless they use it first. I just think its one of those things you shouldn't show off to girls. Also I don't think profanity should be used toward girls, it's just something I see as wrong. When I say that I mean calling a girl names that I wont say because the PG-13 audience thing.
Also, I try to be as polite as possible when buying things. One of the things my parents have taught me. | |

pmmsn | | Re: Beliefs (14th Mar 08 at 2:06am UTC) | | My beliefs, really there are none except for that I think i'm one of Satan's kids, and that god hates me.
I curse all the time, except for on this forum since we aren't allowed to, but sometimes something slips.
I never have and never will care wat pple think of me, although if someone does talk crap about me or my friends, or just any girls I will step up and fight them. | |

If you fight others for negatively judging you then you care a lot more about what people think of you than you realize.  | |

pmwwwmsngtalk | | Re: Beliefs (14th Mar 08 at 2:25am UTC) | | I don't care what people think about me one bit. I don't fight people for what they say about me, but yeah if they say something bad about my friends or a girl and it really hurts the girl I'll probably do something to them.
I'm much more comfortable being myself then making myself the person that is judged by others and gets affected. I once was like that and it was pretty stupid. Just sitting thinking about stupid things, wasting time and money on getting clothes I'd grow out of anyways.
Some of that is still with me but not much. I don't care if people like the way I dress, nor do I care if people like my hair. It's my hair, my clothes, and my body. I'll do what I like with it.
I'm also a very fit, athletic kid, but I purposely chose not to put myself with the group of kids who are like me in that way because their are jerks, or d-bags ( Excuse me. ) I'm talking about the kids at my school that are athletic by the way. There are maybe 3 kids that I'm good friends with that are into sports.
Enough ranting for this post. | |

pmwwwskypeaimgtalk | | Re: Beliefs (14th Mar 08 at 4:27am UTC) | | I follow a few simple guidelines:
Nobody ever thinks they're wrong in what they're doing. So if I can't see the good in their actions, the justification, I'm not trying hard enough to see it from their perspective.
Violence is never, under any circumstance, a viable answer to anything. To intend to inflict harm on another is something I've never done, and hope to never do. There are better solutions to my problems.
This one actually is an adapted clause of the gay code (don't ask): If someone needs something, especially someone you know/like/trust, and it costs you nothing to fulfill that need, you fulfill that need. Whether it means doing a favor, or simply making a nice comment on a bad day, you have no reason to not help the person out.
I have a few others, but those are my main tenets.
Shut up, I know I'm a bleeding heart liberal with heavy anarcho-socialistic tendencies and serious Gandhi-issues.

pm | | Re: Beliefs (14th Mar 08 at 12:45pm UTC) | | I am a Sunni Muslim, so I follow Islam. I believe in what Islam really teaches, not that kill-American bullshit the terrorists preach. I mean, come on, the WORD Islam means peace.
I believe that no one person is above another, we are all equal regardless of our race, disabilities, and beliefs.
I believe that the government has no right to tinker with our constitutional rights (sorry Marc, but I'm assuming the U.S. here  ), so the death penalty is purely primitive garbage in my opinion.
Frankly, I despise capitalism. I think it does little more than make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and I believe that the world shouldn't be separated into factions, rather have a pseudo-economic-Pangea. If Ontario was ravaged by genocide, I highly doubt it'd be ignored by the Canadian government the way Darfur is.
As for religiously, I agree with Marc on the heaven/hell thing. I am also iffy on the concept of God - how did "God" actually come to being? I refuse to believe he has been there forever, because then you start assessing time, and how it had to have had a start somewhere. Nothing can have an infinite beginning. I'm willing to consider an infinite end, but not an infinite beginning.
I also agree with trick. I'm a very cliche b-boy. I play sports, bump rap music, wear baggy clothes, and am not afraid to speak my mind. Yet I'm in an enriched program and hang out with nerds (primarily, because I'm friends with practically half the school).
Just a few of my morals and beliefs. | |

Then what was there before "anything" ?
It's extremely hard to comprehend, as our minds cannot understand how it's possible, but there was no "beginning"; it was just, always there. Whether it be an infinite nothingness or if there actually was an entity there, time couldn't have had a beginning. Same as if the entire universe ceases to exist, there will still be the infinite nothingness of space, and time will continue. | |

That's the thing, what is an infinite nothingness, when everything is something, nothing can be nothing, because for nothing to be nothing it can be non-existent, where it is nothing, yet nothing is something, because everything is something, otherwise it is something which is nothing, which is infinitely something..

Exactly why there couldn't have been a beginning of time.
