You have the same content and writing style as another poster who has several aliases. It seems suspicious.
What ad hominem? Seems you think your approach to life is the way to go, why would you take issue with someone pointing out how rational you actually are? LMAO...
How delightfully disingenuous. It must be your Christmas spirit. "Tis the season, after all. Just so you know, I find it gratifying that someone like you speaks for religion. Somehow, it just makes sense to me.
I imagine that you have a similar effect on all the threads in which you participate: a somewhat reasonable exchange of ideas until...Pop! goes the ZZZzzzzzzzit.
Let's see. I wonder how long "Mr. Rational," "Mr. Reasonable exchange of ideas" Thundermutt will go before he tells everyone "I have better things to do." Bwaahaaahaaahaaaaa.....
sounds reasonable, but still does not prove that the object is really God, or the supreme God when I was a teenager I had fear of things that might happen in my future life that I don't like, and fear of things not going as I have planned for my life when I became 19, all of it went away, I don't know the reason, and the reason is of zero importance to me, for everything lost it's importance before my eyes, even the supposedly greatest and most important things in life, ever since then I just live life as is, I hardly feel anything, and if you ever see me happy, angry or sad, it is most likely I am imitating it, for the sake of entertaining myself, most of the time there is a constant void in my heart, to me it seems like my heart is not beating anyhow since I hardly feel anything, there is nothing that I can think of, and think of losing it and feel any kind of fear, in basic words; I have nothing to lose, there is nothing your God or any other God can take away from me or bring upon me that can make me fearful of him
As much as I appreciate your contributions, and even though this is a very popular paradigm, I have to call it like i see it: The idea that God needs a comparison device to know Himself is pure hogwash. The world is indeed a comparison device. And comparisons are meaningless to God. As such, it only serves to satisfy curiosity, that the mind may know itself as not itself. And this is completely unnecessary. The world is still as meaningless today as it was when time began. Time is meaningless. Evolution is meaningless. Sex is meaningless! ^Jesus
i find your use of money as an example of what is perceived as real and what is actually real particularly amusing... you just don't get do you .... there is a concept, a belief even, of HUMILITY. unlike yourself, many people understand themselves to be fallable wretches, prone to hate, anger, lust, .... in a word, SIN. These same people believe that what they achieve is not solely of their own doing. Of course, there are those who consider their achievements as evidence that god favors them, but they, like you, are missing the big picture and are dolts. "megalomania"... to cast all those who believe in "god" as such, ...I've heard some stupid things from smart sounding people before... but this...
