Scientifically, there does not have to be a Creator of the Creator. As I've stated, it is entirely possible that both time and space were created at the time of the singularity. "Existence" as we know it is a function of time. In other words, if the First Cause exists in 3+ time dimensions, He can exist outside of space/time and never have to be created. This is entirely possible and has not yet been disproved by science. For example, if String Theory were found to be true and Hawking's Space/Time Theorem of Relativity to apply to the singularity, then all that I said above would hold. The point is this: one cannot even prove that the First Cause must have a First Cause...
You believe you will receive no punishment, that is an aspect of your religion. Just reading the word punishment pushes your buttons, doesn't it? Keep practicing your religion all you like, maybe some day it will bring you peace of mind, tolerance, and respect for other people and their beliefs....but I doubt it.
no one has a relationship with "god." any "relationship" exists solely inside the person's mind and it is with his own self. you guys basically each have your own imaginary friend in your head. this may be shocking and appalling to you, but it's absolutely true. no living thing on earth has ever had a "relationship" with "god." spare me the pathetic personal attacks i expect from you.
if there is a creator, i can guarantee you it's not "jesus christ." what a RIDICULOUS claim that is. a human should be embarrassed to assert that.
punishment doesn't worry me one bit. i know it's all bs. yeah, it pushes my "annoying" button. what kind of creator of the universe would punish those who do not believe in him?! he should be above that; what a POS. he should be punched in the face. lmao
It is odd that you so violently reject people telling you what to believe, yet you so easily believe you are in a position to tell others what to believe concerning their relationship with God. Don't you see the contradiction? Of course not, you are "right" and everyone else is "wrong." The World According to Gordon Gekko.
You "know" it is all bs? How do you know? You believe, fine, but is believing now the same as knowing? A limited mind sees the limited world and concludes it is absolutely unfair according to his limited understanding. Can you see that your level of certainty is based in limited means?
Man you are soo freakin screwed up! LOL! "I can conceive of this... and i can conceive of that.. blah blah blah" dont you realize your conceptions are nothing but the foolishness of a little boy..the combination of an over active imagination and innate tendency for constrcution patterns out of thin air and weak intellect..thats where your conceptions originate. nothing more, nothing less :-/ and by the way.. you bastardize the term "conception" because these fatasies of yours have no substance or sophistication but are superficial castles in the air. HA!
Dude, you haven't even learned how to trade, what makes you think you will be able to comprehend how god works? Why do you keep relating "suffering" to there being no god? You keep attributing human qualities to something you haven't even begun to realize yet. God is not attained, but realized.
Tell anyone who has studied and graduated beyond a 6 pack that conceptions of abstraction are but the foolishness of little boys. It is the immature mind that limits itself to the gross concreteness of the senses and the limitations of the purely relativistic intellectual mind. Your certainty, like your amigo Gekko, is a blessing by contrast to those who can live with uncertainty of faith. Drink up my man, drink up.
