Atheists: What would you consider credible communication from God?

Lucifer has nothing to do with the Christian bible other than being used as an adjective for the many (mis)understandings of the Morning Star/Day Star. St. Jerome misunderstood the meaning of the Hebrew word 'heylel', and translated it into "Lucifer", the Latin word meaning "light bearer" (from the Latin lux "light" and ferre "to bear or bring"). The word Lucifer at the time of the Vulgate and even at the time of the KJV translation, meant "morning star" or "day star" in reference to Venus. Jerome thought the passage was referring to Satan in addition to the king of Babylon, and because of this, the use of the word "Lucifer" made the transition from a term referring to Venus and the Morning Star to also refer to the Abrahamic Satan.

Lucifer the Roman-Greco deity is mentioned in Publius Ovidius Naso's "Metamorphoses", which was written in 8 B.C.E., the Roman poet Virgil mentions him as far back as 29 B.C.E. And the first mention is from Timaeus by Plato in 360 B.C.E. This Lucifer is also portrayed as a Lunar deity unlike his usual association with Venus.

Isaiah 14:12
“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!"

This is in regards to the Babylonian King Nebechudezzner, relating him to the Morning Star which was used for thousands of years in a poetic way for a lower deity who attempts and fails to usurp a higher deity.

Jesus even refers to himself as the 'morning star':

Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”. We can see that Lucifer and Yeshua are two different things, not the same, and they certainly would not both be referring to Satan. The Morning Star had been used as a poetic device for thousands of years.

I agree for the most part on this. Lucifer is like a title.

But, i do believe there is this fallen angel, that could be described as a light bearer.

Luke 10:18

"He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

2 corinthians 11:14

"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."

Revelation 12:7

"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back."

Certainly, Satan (from Hebrew; ha-satan 'the adversary') is the Abrahamic devil, the opposer/scapegoat for Yahweh. Originally, Satan would have been Yahweh's (God's) prosecutor/angel, doing God's Will.

All well & good, however, nothing to do with Lucifer, a Roman/Greek divine construct.
 
This is a carryover from a dialogue that has been ongoing between me and an Atheist on another forum for about five years... Yes, five years and we are still going around in the same circles. I posted something about this about six months ago but I am back with a slightly different slant.

Synopsis: The issue at hand is that this Atheist thinks that God should communicate directly to everyone in the world (all 7.4 billion people) because that is “what he considers” the only credible method of communication. In his opinion, if God does not communicate directly to everyone, that is evidence that God does not exist. One of his premises is that a God would want everyone to believe in Him, and direct communication to everyone would be “the only way” to accomplish that.

My position is that God wants everyone to believe in Him but God does not need everyone to believe in Him because an omnipotent/omniscient/fully self-sufficient God does not need anything from anyone. If an omnipotent God needed everyone to believe in Him, He could have communicated directly to everyone. So, since God does not do that, there are only three logical possibilities to choose from:
  1. God uses Messengers, knowing that not everyone will believe in them.
  2. God does not communicate at all.
  3. God does not exist.
There is no option #4, that if God exists, God would communicate directly with everyone, because God has not communicated directly with everyone.

In other words, since there is no evidence that God has ever communicated directly to everyone we can assume that is not what God wants to do, if God exists.

Credibility is not the issue here, this issue is the best way to communicate to accomplish what God is trying to accomplish.

Who would know the best way to communicate to humans in order to accomplish what God wants to accomplish, humans or God?



Nothing could be more PATHETIC than using some GOD hoax as an excuse to abuse and manipulate others into SLAVERY.

SLAVERY of horrifically obsolete DOGMA the human parasite Vampires that invented the GOD....ie. Jesus..Allah..Jew God of Moses +++ countless other idiotic GOD inventions....use to DESTROY the OPEN MINDED and CURIOUS human....

Over a 6000 year period only the so called Boy farce JESUS showed up to calm humans down from exterminating each other
and as a RESULT ....was himself declared a heretic by his JEW TRIBE...and EXECUTED by ROMANS ! where was JESUS
DADDY in all of this utter idiocy ? why did it take 4000 years for the BOY FARCE to show up ?

I see, you bought off on the Bible God.
That’s too bad you are stuck in the past...
Time marches on and God is not found in the Bible anymore. ;)

So, tell me, why are you a luciferian?

Just a friendly note of advice. In RF, we try to address the argument, not the person. True, some of us are better at that than others, and we (myself included) slip up from time to time.

But it's best to leave the personal attacks at the door.

Me? I'm not an actual fan of Dawkins, myself. I find his discourse... rather annoying. Yes, he's well spoken, but I find him rather dry and dull to listen to at any length.

I much prefer Stephen Fry, especially his lengthy reply to a now [in]famous interview question, "if given a chance, what would you say to god?"

The interviewer was rather taken aback, I suspect. But Fry's comments were absolutely spot-on.

The one absolute TRUTH is YOU BELIEVE NOTHING....always seeking an excuse to not accept self
awareness...and an appreciation for the human LIFE FORM....YOU use it and trash it...waiting for some GOD to show up and

Well there it is...this absolute necessity to CONVERT....perhaps you should convince the billion CHINESE...and the BILLION INDIANS...especially the INDIANS..who truly understand SPIRITUALITY without using FEAR-INTIMIDATION-VIOLENCE

They have thousands of years of NON VIOLENT SPIRITUALITY...the Middle East GODS ...are built on FEAR-INTIMIDATION-VIOLENCE....always they seek conflict and aggression towards those who do not accept their ways...

The most closed minded humans on EARTH are Christians and Muslims in regards to not accepting the ways of others....
they are TRULY HYPNOTIZED to degrade and destroy all other beliefs....disgraceful...

I said "lol". I was joking about turning you into a christian. Like earthling told you in another post "walk it off pale" lol. As in, take a chill pill. Its ok. Im not about using violence to push my views on you or anyone else. If anyone is about violence it looks like your almost at the edge of that the way you talk.

They have thousands of years of NON VIOLENT SPIRITUALITY...the Middle East GODS ...are built on FEAR-INTIMIDATION-VIOLENCE....always they seek conflict and aggression towards those who do not accept their ways...

You gotta realize that the middle east history had alot of politics involved, NOT JUST RELIGION.

The most closed minded humans on EARTH are Christians and Muslims in regards to not accepting the ways of others....

Are you closed minded to accepting christians ways? :cool:

they are TRULY HYPNOTIZED to degrade and destroy all other beliefs....disgraceful...

Are you hypnotized by naturalism to degrade and destroy the Christian beliefs?
 
CHRISTIANS do the DESTRUCTION of their JESUS and fake BELIEF in him themselves....with hundreds of idiotic CHURCH spins and many Bible
rewrites to suit their assimilation agendas...the majority of Christians are at WAR against each other...let alone the rest of humanity that does not accept JESUS....

Try gathering a Jehovah's Witness....Latter day saint...Protestant...Catholic...baptist...Coptic...+++ so many other idiotic CHURCH clowns into a room with JESUS himself ......JESUS would spit and condemn all of them for the ATROCITIES they commit using him as some scapegoat to further their assimilation and control agenda....

None of these pathetic CHURCH organizations has anything to do with spirituality and Jesus..they are out for POWER....simple as that....

NO HUMAN EVER NEEDS to be VALIDATED and APPROVED to EXIST and DIE by idiot humans that play GOD....and that is what the Christian does...using FEAR and iNTIMIDATION to assimilate weak minded humans into SLAVERY of some Church Clown not JESUS....

Ancient INDIA has the JAINIST...HINDU...KRISHNA..+++ for thousands of years these people pursued ENLIGHTENMENT without using FEAR - INTIMIDATION- VIOLENCE... the JEW- JESUS- ALLAH God constructa are a DISGRACE to spirituality all have a proven HISTORY of MURDER-RAPE-DEATH-DESTRUCTION in their idot GOD'S name....

A true believer NEVER has to force or threaten...the CHRISTIAN LIVES to force and THREATEN all who do not accept them
as do the Muslim psychotics with their Allah and Quran constructs....a total DISGRACE to the millions MURDERED over these
PARASITE VAMPIRES from the Middle East....and ROME....disgusting the Cultures they destroyed for their GOD hoax...

So, tell me, why are you a luciferian?
It's a little complicated but simply put, as Mercuræns we see the Lucifer archetype as the fallen aspect of one's Greater Self. It is this aspect from which we rise to become atoned with our Greater Self (GodSelf).
 
CHRISTIANS do the DESTRUCTION of their JESUS and fake BELIEF in him themselves....with hundreds of idiotic CHURCH spins and many Bible

I agree. But, does this not mean that for you to say this, you would have to know the mind of Jesus? Which means you got "credible communication" from God! :cool:

None of these pathetic CHURCH organizations has anything to do with spirituality and Jesus..they are out for POWER....simple as that....

Some of them are out for power. Some are genuine. I dont think its a good idea to judge everyone the same.

NO HUMAN EVER NEEDS to be VALIDATED and APPROVED to EXIST and DIE by idiot humans that play GOD....and that is what the Christian does...using FEAR and iNTIMIDATION to assimilate weak minded humans into SLAVERY of some Church Clown not JESUS....

What about humans that rape, murder, molest, steel, should they need validation and approval/disapproval to exist?

Ancient INDIA has the JAINIST...HINDU...KRISHNA..+++ for thousands of years these people pursued ENLIGHTENMENT without using FEAR - INTIMIDATION- VIOLENCE... the JEW- JESUS- ALLAH God constructa are a DISGRACE to spirituality all have a proven HISTORY of MURDER-RAPE-DEATH-DESTRUCTION in their idot GOD'S name....

I like to seperate the religious aspects, the spiritual aspects and the political aspects in the history of christianity.

And not all groups and people are the same.

A true believer NEVER has to force or threaten...the CHRISTIAN LIVES to force and THREATEN all who do not accept them
as do the Muslim psychotics with their Allah and Quran constructs....a total DISGRACE to the millions MURDERED over these
PARASITE VAMPIRES from the Middle East....and ROME....disgusting the Cultures they destroyed for their GOD hoax...

Not all christians force there views on people. Im not forcing you to agree with my views, am i? Im discussing with you, but thats not near the same as forcing.
