Honesty! You told me more in your last post than I am has in the last week. I disagree with #1 because you don't know that. #2 and 3 is nowhere near evidence but very honest to say the least.
Desire to know [nOt believe] GoD [not "gOd"] with "all your heart, mind and soul". Desire to know [nOt believe] your neighbor as your Self [nOt your self-concept]. Christ!
Wow i really want to know god so he definitely exists because I want him too. BS! Wow i really want to empathize with my neighbor so therefore there is a god. BS! I am almost convinced you write all this shit to deter people from the belief in god. Shut up and learn some honesty like riskfreetrading.
An idol lives or dies upon the belief of it's maker. gOd is an idol in your mind, made by you, for your own rationale. The gOd of this world needs your belief, so it cares. The gOd of this world needs your actions, based on belief in it. The risks of believing in an idol are thousands of lifetimes of suffering. The idol "gOd" is capable of fooling otherwise intelligent minds for a thousand incarnations is a world which offers nothing but suffering with a few "good times" in between to keep the party going. Your intelligence level in this cycle indicates you have a chance to overcome deception in this cycle. But the odds are in favor of gOd this time around, indicated by your trend toward superstition. If you do not get it right this time, when will your next chance come? Death sets you free of nothing. Betting something favorable will happen because of death is just mindless shilling for the gOd of death. Truth sets you free from the cycles of death...the so-called "life-cycle". Only truth will set you free. Believing in a lie binds you to hands and feet and defeat. Freedom requires an intense desire to be free, and intense self-honesty. Choose again. Christ!
Your idea if defending the Qu'ran is ignoring what I said in reply? Why don't you start with what I said, rather than professing it has no author.
This guy is way in a world of his, which I respect because it shows he thinks. I want however to say that I am not believing in an idol. I believe only in God, conditional on that he exists and that he is the God who should be believed, and that he requires that we believe in him, in particular to earn the reward, and avoid the risk. So there are a lot of conditions in the background on my mind and belief which God should know if he exists and is knowlegeable. You see, I got many things covered in presence of uncertainty.
I just gave you the keys to the Kingdom. But confusion still rules your mind. I just told you that desire to know [nOt believe] is the key. And with good reason. The reason you do not know is because of the desire to nOt knOw KnowledgE. This is an effect of the desire to know more than the totality of everything. More than everything is...nothing "The universe" is...more than everything. That is why you seem to be a little person in a universe in which Knowledge is obliterated, and there is nO evidence of anything that actually does Know. You have given the universe to yourself, of your own desire to have it so. And you are in denial of that fact. Now you are stuck because you think you must have evidence before you will desire to know anything. So you've got it backwards. The law of GoD states that you must be given what you ask for. You have asked for confusion, and the universe is the answer. You still desire confusion, so you are not yet accepting the answer as it is given. So you are not accepting my answers either. To you, your questions are "straight" and my answers are what, wicked? This is a legacy of the mindset that makes for itself a "reality" that is backwards and upside down the Truth. I'll say it again. Your will is KING. Even if you made a false will that is not your own, that will is still KING as long as you want it. You have been given all power "in heaven and on earth". This means you are free in both truth and illusions to be or experience as you please. If will were not King, there would be something else that is Lord over you. The truth is, there is no Lord over you, not even *Our Father*. That is why it is called the KINGDOM of GoD. There are ONLY KINGS in the KingdoM of GoD. In the KingdoM, you are "LorD oF LorDs". For ALL ARE LORDS in ThE KinGDoM of GoD. Your appearance "on earth" does not change this fact. As long as you desire a will other than your own, the symbol of another will ["the universe"] will be your king. You are in denial of this, and you are using "the universe" to deny it. So the universe teaches you a trillion ways in which you cannot possibly be the Lord of it. Rather, it teaches that it is lord over you. This is backwards by YOUR OWN ANCIENT PRAYER [desire] TO BE DECEIVED. "The universe" is playing for keeps, while you twiddle your thumbs. It wants to be your king. It wants to bury you. It wants to keep you in the dark and block your way out with a big stone [evidential circumstance of matter]. Think of "the universe" as a closed mind with a sign on the outside, "Truth, Keep Out". So, the Truth stands at the door and politely knocks. You have placed "evidence" at the door, that Truth not be welcome to enter. So, welcome...to "Hotel California". Christ!
What you seem to have understood is not what I meant, or you are mispresenting what I wrote if you understood what I wrote in the sense I meant it. I only wrote what I believe I understood from reading the Quran. Only by reading it yourself, you will reach your conclusion about what the Quran says or does not say. It is not my business to sell to you any sacred book or to get you away from any sacred books. If you believe in God or do not believe in him, it is matter between you and him. Could you please restate you question as I am not sure I understood your question? You have to understand that my analysis of the bible of today does not imply that everything in the bible is not correct. It is rather the non-correct things (which we know) which makes one not able to determine what is true in it and what is not. The aspect in the bible which I felt would be correct and in any case good to humans is the focus on love as an important part of human life. My discussion of the Quran is due (as I wrote before) to the aspects of it in which it states facts that can be proved or disproved, and tells the reader to challenge it. That aspect has no equivalent in other sacred books. We know that humans have doubts about God, truths, anything written, etc. When there are such safeguards in the Quran, it invites the reader to lock his horns with the horns of whoever claims is being God. Either one's doubts win, or they get crushed with facts (or at least reduced). As for the authorship, I seriously do not know whose words those are. The important thing for me is the message. If a human came up with the words, that human must have received divine assistance or assistance from some other extra intelligence. Those predictions in there are amazing in accuracy, so I cannot just put them under a rug and ignore them because any logical mind cannot if he agrees with the conclusions.
I appreciate your candor. As you reveal what is currently topmost in your mind, it becomes evident that you are worth-shipping [worshipping] an idol. You are highly valuing what you made with your own mind - "gOd" - and are currently bowing down to what you made yourself. You do not admit that "gOd" is something you made because you made it to deny your own GoD-given Knowledge. The desire to deny is still stuck to you...in your mind. This yeilds an experience of ignorance. The experience of ignorance is one of suffering. It lasts as long as ignorance is a priority for you. It won't last forever. So, why not save time and possibly a thousand years of suffering by confessing [fess up] to what you have made? The idol that is "gOd", exists conditional upon your belief. So you can bet your last dollar that it demands your belief. It's continued survival depends on it. So it will get it by book, hook or crook. It's mode of operating is carrot and stick. Rewards and/or punishments. Beware, or be decieved. The "gOd" of "the world" is made by fiat of belief. Whose belief is powerful enough to make something that can make the universe and hold it together by faith? The Son of God has such power, and this power belongs to you, even now, because you are the Son of God. You are in denial that you are the Son of God, and you are using "gOd" to prove it. So, while you are really LorD of gOd, you bow down to gOd as your LorD. And this is how you maintain the illusion of Self-denial. Rather, "know thy Self". Christ!
