Zone1 Why is it so tough to believe in God?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You just believe you, and your lying bullshit.

No, this is not the equivalent of not accepting a vile piece of iron age.mythology.

This is you lying.to yourself out loud to.justify our own poor behavior.

Very childlike.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Most'. Is that supposed to scare believers.

No, it's a fact that highlights your pathetic arguments to authority and your vile morality.

How do I lie to myself when I believe the Bible as the Word of God.

Simple, you lie to yourself about others to justify your own poor behavior and vile morality.

It's the testimony of the Bible. Most are not of God.

Quantrill

Yeah, gross.

Thank goodness I escaped this primitive horseshit at a young age.

You still can, too.

You still can, too.

It's the testimony of the Bible. Not gross to me. It is the living Word of God.

Yes...thank goodness.

No, I can't. That is an impossibility. And, thank goodness.

You can still escape this vile nonsense.

Good.luck.

Good luck to you also.

Quantrill

You can. Plenty of people have. You're talking to one.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Well, sure for many its easy but its not easy at all, in fact impossible, for anyone who just doesn't have the faith it takes to "just believe" in the absurd to become an insecure oblivious pretentious guilt ridden numbskull for life.

True. Unfortunately, early indoctrination combined with religious parenting make exercising critical thinking difficult. Luckily, my parents let us kids make up our minds. Far from the norm in my neighborhood.

 

[BreezeWood]

Believers have always been a minority.

is that the 4th century christian bible they believe in, those that wrote it and have ruled that religion uninterrupted from then to the present day ...

such is a deceiver to conceal their presence throughout history.

 

[Samofvt]

life on earth evolved over time, creation would imply in an instant ... nothing you wrote verifies the three desert religions are responsible for anything heavenly - including yours, christianity.

What if i said my religion is not just of christianity? What if I say Jesus Christ of nazarith and born of bethleham is my brother. What if I say he is your brother? Can you show me how you have evolved after so many generations? I ask questions. Not condemnations.

 

[Samofvt]

It's a little known fact that the 11th Commandment was, "Thou shalt be a grower, not a show-er."

I like it. Men are free to decide, although I'm not sure this feeling caused by a product of God constitutes a commandment.

I don't think it is unfortunate. For the same reason I cast doubt on the Baptism of newborns. True, It has to be a conscious decision. The parents of such children should be questioned about their beliefs, before they reach for the light, if still possible. Obviously, I am protestant of the centuries old "catholic" church. Politics was involved, as it was 2025 years ago. The reason we fled from the old world. And In the Name of Jesus Christ, forgiveness is one lesson we should not forget unless we wish to revert to animals.

 

[Samofvt]

You can. Plenty of people have. You're talking to one.

There is no escape. We live in the real world, the one that we were put here upon. Escape is no different than denial. Find the truth, and you will find we are all equal. We live today, here, now. We do not know what lies beyond.

Make the best of it. I prefer those who feel that all life is precious. And if we eat another life to sustain ourselves, we become them, and they become us. Wanton destruction for personal satisfaction is an excess.

 

[Meriweather]

You can still escape this vile nonsense.

It seems hard for some to understand that religion/faith is a manner of living that brings joy and peace--the very antithesis of 'vile'. It's hard to understand what happened with you that has made this impossible to even imagine. Fire is something useful and comforting for most...unless one was badly burned by fire. Perhaps it's something like that.

did someone ask you to ask questions ... considering the answers as equally relevant maybe you could try a couple.

the answer is forbotten in my current culture. But, at risk of beheading, I say: Kill all those ******* bastards that disrespect the Lords words

god is very angry at such un vailed debauchury. It must be ended once again. They said the last one was the one to end all. Apparently we must og ufrther. This must be done unless we fall into ... physics demands that all things shall rest at homogeneity. I dislike this notion, and still believe we are different than mere physics. God calls us to rise above that.
