Why I don't believe in God

[TyroneSlothrop]

The Constitution doesn't allow us to be a theocracy, even if we want to be.

You want to restrict constitutional rights of Christians to speak politically or have a say in policies. That is an intolerant behavior and also, unconstitutional.

yeah yeah its the "libruls" ...hey can you inform Carson of what you just posted ...he seems unaware
[redacted links]

Honestly.... I don't want to see ANY MORE LINKS on Carson or what Carson has said. I feel that I am comfortable with Carson and you won't change my mind with media lies. I'm done with it... no more. I will not click the links or read the lies and misrepresentations of this fine man.

Its not about you bro...its not about the Constitution which the Right winger want to make secondary to the Bible..Its about not giving the "unhinged" access to the Nuclear arsenal....what could go wrong eh
Old video shows Ben Carson thinks there's a New World Order out to get America.

This one's been floating around online for a while, but resurfaced on social media yesterday: A video of Ben Carson going after the New World Order which vaguely has to do with atheists and socialists trying to destroy America. As an atheist and a socialist, I can assure Mr. Carson our goal is not to destroy America, but rather the people who run it.

Liar.

Hysteric

At least 4 dead, 14 injured in Maryland crash

"At least four people were killed and 14 others injured after a church van crashed into a pickup truck and caught fire in Hyattsville, Md. on Sunday, according to local authorities."

What's the point of a god who never prevents this sort of thing. Church vans crash all the time.

You're thinking of God as a Supreme Person.

God is not a Supreme Person. This is a common misconception, particularly from people who lack spiritual faith in God. We wonder how God can forsake us. In fact, this is the reason many people lose spiritual faith to begin with. God didn't save my mother... God didn't protect my child... But God is not a Supreme Person.

We all have a soul connected with God and our souls are experiencing a physical reality in material bodies here on Earth. You soul is everlasting, it is beyond the constraints of physical time which is a concept we created to measure. God can always use your soul if it's any good. Your soul may go to another person here on Earth or maybe it goes in a matrix of levels, dimensions and existences we're not aware of? I can't answer what happens to your soul when it leaves your physical body here but it seems apparent your soul is being guided toward love and good for a reason.

One thing your soul should be instinctively aware of is that physical beings suffer. It is inevitable and part of being physical. We can't escape death, we're all going to die. Some of us may get 80-90 years or more, if we're lucky. Others may not even make it out of the womb. It has nothing to do with God's use of our soul.

What makes you different from a tortoise or elephant?

What makes you different from a tortoise or elephant?

Wow, silly boob... with questions like that you'll never make it out of 'special' class. Do you honestly not know the difference between a tortoise, elephant and human? More to the point, do you honestly not see a difference in humans and any other animal?

Are you talking about the soul? I'm not sure that animals have souls but if they do, God connects with them through their soul in His own way. As I said, your soul is everlasting... if you blow your soul's chances as a human, maybe God will put your soul into a tortoise next go-around and you can live 150 years dodging predators and avoiding being turned into soup? Maybe this will give you better appreciation of your soul for the next time you have an opportunity to be a higher life form? Or maybe, God will simply pluck your soul from his grid and toss you into the flaming trash can? I guess it depends on whether He thinks your soul is redeemable... what do you think, boob? Is your soul redeemable?

Abstract: existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.

You have evidence of an elephant demonstrating the existence in thought of an idea not having physical existence and creating an expression of that thought in a painting.

So maybe "Abstract" wasn't the word you meant to use?

Tardigrades cannot survive in the vacuum of space. Sorry, they just can't.
Humans are funny animals, some of them believe in magic universes and life that pop out of nothingness for no reason or purpose. It's a small number but we love them anyway.

Why do you think we need to cope with death? Why does no other life form seem to be afflicted with the handicap of having to create a security blanket to cope with death? Does the belief in something we made up from imagination make death better to cope with? Why doesn't this work to solve all our other problems? Why can't we just imagine ourselves well when we're sick? Or imagine ourselves in Tahiti to cope with our feeling sick? I wonder if I could imagine you into another universe?

So what kind of criteria are you now applying to the elephant? He has to paint something from sheer imagination that he's never seen before? "Abstract" now takes on this murky meaning that you can define however you please, as best as I can tell.

You have an elephant thinking an abstract thought... Hmmm, I am going to paint a picture of a tree with pink flowers and an elephant beneath it.... then taking a brush and paint and bringing that thought to life on canvas. If this is not an example of what you meant by "abstract thought" you need to clarify what it is. No one can chase around a loose-end interpretation that you get to change as you please.

Well post a definition of what you mean by "abstract" and we'll go from there. It's pointless for me to try and show you examples of something when I don't how you're defining it.

In a nutshell, the only difference in humans is human spirituality.
