Why did God......

  1. Well, Stu, the disrespect from you continues-- now you're being judgmental toward someone you do not know. That is a very childish act.

    My beliefs are not discreditable-- they have been proven time and time again in people's lives all around the world, and have the staying-power of over 2000 years.

    By the way, I just went to Ireland recently and guess what, there are people there who have a heart for God-- that was nice.

    How exactly is asking questions of you being judgemental ?

    I don't agree that fictional tales with extremely dubious and questionable moral standards within them are the right basis for a belief or faith in them. No matter how many times they are used in a misuse of the word proof in lives around the world. You call that disrespect , I don't.
    Blind belief where no outside reasoning appeals to you is not really proof of much in my view. It is belief however which is certainly discreditable

    btw I notice in Northern Ireland they also have a murderous hate for those who don’t have their particular heart for God ….how nice is that.

  3. Stu, A personal relationship is not blind belief.

    The Ireland thing is not nice-- that is extremely sad. It's just another example of how people can use God for their own agenda.

    No need to debate anymore-- the conclusion is that we disagree with each other.

    One final word: Try seeking out a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He will give you joy and happiness unlike anything you have ever experienced, a new reason and purpose to live, and hope, not only in the life to come, but here and now.

    I wish you the best.

  5. No. It is an experience entered into by faith.

    Every time you fly in an airplane you step on the plane in faith. Then you experience the flight.

  6. Brother, as I do not know if you are a Christ I will call you Phil:)

    Phil,

    You suggest that we are all the one being, experiencing a three dimensional video game for the experience of mortality. Is this correct?

    To make it more interesting, we have thrown ourselves into a maze and then forgot the map, so that we could find our way out.

    This game is made in artificial time so that we could feel artificial pressure to give us some sort of stimulus. That way we could experience something as we are immortal and eternal.

    So, tell me, where is it that we came from? Where is our home? We are sentient, so we had to have come from somewhere before we got here, now, where is that place?

  8. "Faith" is nothing more than belief in the odds.

    Everytime i step into an airplane i accept REAL risk. I can calculate the real odds.

    And I accept the risk that I may not be safe and I am wrong in this instance.

    How do you calculate the odds in a supernatural being?

  10. what you feel is just an emotion not unlike a child that has an imaginary friend that he can relate too. it is not based on reality.

    Every parent of a young child knows how emotionally attached children can become to a soft toy or blanket that they sleep with every night.New research, published today in the international journal Cognition, suggests that this might be because children think the toy or blanket has a unique property or ‘essence’.
