Right.. everything is possible.. even self-contradictory beliefs are possible.. why not?
Now, everything is possible.. A=A and A=nonA
yes.. and you think this is meaningful, well, not in my world. But maybe you are being ironic. It's really hard to tell with you. One thing I will tell you is...
I respect your humanity, as to your feelings?.. we all have feelings.. I'm not too sure why I should "respect" your feelings..
But when it comes to your ideas? I need never respect those at all. Your ideas might deserve to NOT be respected. It's a case by case scenario with me.. Say something...
Ok, good so far.. I like when people can agree.
Can you explain how using faith to judge if what the Bible says is true or not works?
If you believe in something enough, it becomes true? How does that work?
Sorry, but just because you have faith that something is true doesn't MAKE it true...
Sounds like shallow thinking to me. IF there is no god, the theist will have wasted his life on a false belief system. He could have spent it better by not believing. The theist only has this one life, if there is no god.
Now, the atheist also has only one life, but doesn't waste his life on a...
But it should be. IS it a good idea to base one's belief on something that is IMPOSSIBLE? .. if so, please explain.
It's obvious to me that someone who believes something that is impossible is .. what's the technical word I'm looking for?
Oh yes., wrong.
People do say that.. but then just because YOU might like to be treated in a certain way is NO guarantee that I want to be treated in the same way. I may HATE to be treated the way you like the best. It looks like even the golden rule needs to be nuanced.
You can picture anything you like.. it...
Those images are pretty creepy, especially the weird one .. the one that depicts a sexual position.. or an actual sexual act. Whatever. I have a question though.. it says under your nick-name that you are an atheist but here you say that you believe in gods.. Which is it?
Directly to God. Your version of Christianity is what God tells you directly. That's it then? We can't verify that your god is real in any way at all?
Well, it's not evident to many. But.. what does it matter if you get your facts straight from God himself, to your door. Right?
I suppose...
Not a good idea.. some old wives tales happen to be TRUE.. Don't be stupid, walk AROUND the ladder. Things fall off of ladders, people fall off of ladders, ladders THEMSELVES fall.
What the heck are you trying to PROVE by walking under like that? That you are so un-superstitious that things...
Ok, fair enough... But you still assume that one of the things that there are different opinions possible about this god. Nobody really can say that they KNOW what this god is or isn't. Right?
Is that what you mean?
So, is it a loving god, an evil god, a good god, or a jealous god or a vengeful god, or a jewish war god or a political god or a creation god or a three in one god or a single god, or a drowning kind of a god?
Do you see my point? I could go on.. there are a lot of VIEWS about god.. there are...
So, let me get this straight. The THOUGHT about god changes, but not the god itself. Is that a THOUGHT about god?
So, I am to believe that you would have a higher level of knowledge about the god, than the people who actually wrote the stories themselves.
Ok.. by what method would you say...
Good, Thanks for clearing that up. I've made a few errors, by reading too fast.. So, thanks for hanging in there. I hate to be wrong, but heck.. I do write fast.
Now, do you mean to say that IF say, I live for others but I don't believe in your god.. that I go to Hell even so?
- Oops, another...
- Well, just don't start with the presupposition that those who don't believe in your religions are selfish or evil. That's a grand generalization that you just can't make, and it's thoroughly bigoted of you to think so. I know a lot of people, most of which happen to be Christians. I can ASSURE...
