I don't mean that reasoning doesn't work. I only mean that, for many people, it is not enough. It simply does not meet everyone's needs entirely.
Perhaps. Again, the metaphorical apple talking to an inhabitant of Flatland must seem pretty irrational.
Can't say as I can blame anyone...I've been pretty immoral myself. Can you show me, these contradictions and God's immoral traits from the Bible?
Why would a god be angry so much to create a flood? That god put Noah and his family and animals on the ark, and then kill all life? The whole world? That god created those people, then he kill them by drowning in a flood? And they do not die fast, but have torture knowing the water is higher and higher with 40 day and night of rain. That is evil, sick, crazy. And god had to prove to satan that Job will worship god still if Job is not rich. So that god let satan kill all of Jobs children, kill Jobs animals, and make Job sick. Job was a good personbefore, no reason to hurt him, but god let satan do those horrible things to Job to prove Job will still love god? That god is sick, evil, dictator, and narcissist
Yes. So stupid. The law by man for punishment for rape is good. And if there is a god, why create sex that people can not resist, is harmless, people love and enjoy that , then say you have to marry for that? What if someone want to finish school and not be married? They have to wait until 23 years old? Stupid.
People that have alot of sex before they get married have trouble staying faithful. Would you want to be married to a woman that has slept with 100 guys? That pretty f-ing sick if you ask me. But i dont know...maybe you dont mind being married to a woman that really is no different than a prostitute with the amount of men she has slept with (maybe she didnt take money for sex, but im sure a few guys bought sex from her by buying her dinner and taking her to the movies)
Hmm, why do you say (woman) who is with 100 guys, but nothing about the man who is with 100 girls? And you think a girl only have sex for dinner or the movie? Not because she likes that?
You are all reaching too high to start with - trying to determine if there is a supreme spiritual being. First try to determine if there is a spiritual...anything. For that, look to those who recount near-death experiences. Look for verification that during the "out-of-body" portion, they later related facts that they could not have witnessed while in they were "dead" (like knowing where the intern dropped his pen while he was wheeling the "lifeless" body, covered head to toe in a sheet, down to the hospital morgue). If you can determine whether there is a spiritual anything - then you have one toe in an ocean that's unexplored. But why discuss the possibility of a supreme spiritual being when you can't detemine if there is a spiritual anything?
I'm not given to long winded arguments with people that desire to be willfully ignorant... I never go there... I do go where I can learn things for myself because I'm not a lazy puddle of pee with no desire to know anything but my already existing opinions... so I wind up in these prayer meetings where the leader gets the Devil to talk out of people, then we tell him to leave because we come in the authority of Jesus of Nazareth.. and the people get healed of stuff.. so I go to a lot of these meetings to see 1) what can I get over 2) what can I learn... I'm like that, I need healing for old wounds from childhood all the way up to yesterday and I need to know things... I learned that the Devil gets to every person with lies, starting before we are born sometimes... that is the Micro level of control.. on the Macro level the Devil has been putting together an organization that runs the world in many regards... it's goal is to put the Anti Christ in the temple at Jerusalem, even though that temple doesn't exist currently, and to head the One World Government... strange that... the Devil can do all this because when we believe his lies we are in a deal with him and God is a perfect gentleman about those deals.. but he paid the price so we can break any and all of them just by uncovering them and putting them on the cross.... and Jesus LOVES to show what He can do, so when we put those lies on the cross and we ask Jesus to intervene in the affairs of the world he is freed up to do so moreso in our lives... there isn't anything that He doesn't want to fix or anybody He doesn't want to help and save but we have to ask... and we have to ask correctly to some extent... that's what the Lord's Prayer is about, not to mention the entire New Testament and much of the Old Testament..
