Does God want everyone to believe in him?

Why does love need another name?
everything evolves or dies. the poets don't necessarily speak in literals. like song writers don't necessarily use literalism to convey an idea. there are infinite ways of expressing something. why would you think an idea from 5000 yrs ago would be expressed literally the same in a different space and time?

whether the poster is a christian, or not, is irrelevant to an idea. the poster had a bias towards the post because of what a person may or may not wear. the clothes do not make the man.
Except it was not used as an ad hominem, it was to clarify the context of his reply.
You, on the other hand, appear to be using it to get out of a direct question.
Why is that?

what appears to you is irrelevant to me. it just detracts from the idea. if you want to fixate on the poster that is your choice.

i fell into a burning ring of fire = love, johnny cash

prometheus = bringer of fire/light, or forethought

jesus, " i have come to bring fire, what if it already be kindled." you are the light of the world, a city set on a hill cannot be hid. love enlightens.

Revelation 21:23

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

our god is a consuming fire.

some say love is a burning thing
it makes a fiery ring. song for zula phosphorescent

Yes. I bring the light of reason which is that God is undetectable and his existence is therefore irrelevant. You're welcome. Enjoy the light of reason now that I've burned away your misconceptions of the delusion of God.

love brings light. the love of truth. love is not a respecter of persons, or professions, or egos.

The fact remains you have not answered the question you have gone to so much trouble to avoid.
That reflects on you, no one else.

always like this. when we are in a debate the user ask us to read the links. seems you avoid the truth. ok, the link says universe was built at the very first time by the gravitational effect of dark matter or dark energy. But, from where/what the gravitational effect of dark matter was made? how could they come into exist, suddenly?

No avoiding of truth.

It is far easier to understand the science - on those links, rather then me attempting to break it down to an understandable discourse in a post.

The links also give a couple of different ideas.

Also if you did read the links - then you know they address the beginning issue with scientific ideas.
