Zone1 Why is it so tough to believe in God?

[Hafar1014]

No, its embarrassingly dumb.

You argue all fictional characters actually exist.

You have fun with that, i don't have the patience for this stupidity.

Yes as a fictional characters. Does an idea exist. You do know this topic is above your comprehension
con·text

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes as a fictional characters

Meaning they don't actually exist.

Like, the many God characters.

Making life decisions based on morals, logic, and reason is always better than basing them on some imaginary fable, especially when you consider that which fable you believe depends more on where you were born than anything else.

You make decisions based on emotion first then apply logic reason and rational thought. If your brain understands the emotional message you make the right choices. If you get it wrong you make poor choices thinking its rational. Emotions can determine what you think you know.

Religion is the foundation of many moral values. Which one of the 10 Commandments do you not accept. The ones referring to God wont count.

Your moral judgement comes from your family as you go through developmental stages.
Religion can be good source of moral values or it can be a poor source.

The key is knowing what you truly feel. Thats called the emotional truth of your actions and beliefs.

Meaning they don't actually exist.

Like, the many God characters.

They exist as ideas can an idea exist. Logic isnt your strong point. Emotion is distorting your thinking.
If they didnt exist we couldnt have this conversation. Youre very concrete as most atheists are

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

They exist as ideas can an idea exist.

An idea of a tree exists as an idea, not as a tree.

A god fantasy exists as a fantasy.

If you read a book that is fiction does it exist.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If you read a book that is fiction does it exist.

Yes. The book exists.

The Bible exists. The fantasy god within does not.

 

[Hafar1014]

An idea of a tree exists as an idea, not as a tree.

A god fantasy exists as a fantasy.

Its both. Non belief in God is a belief an idea with no evidence to support it

 

[Hafar1014]

Yes. The book exists.

The Bible exists. The fantasy god within does not.

Prove God does not exist. You believe God does not exist. That makes it an idea

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Its both. Non belief in God is a belief an idea with no evidence to support it

It is not both, and i don't have any more patience for this.

Good luck.

 

[BULLDOG]

God is logic, truth, love and every extant moral attribute of existence. So your belief that persons of faith base their life decisions on fables is misinformed. But even then your post still isn't making an argument for the functional advantage that atheism has over faith in God. Because there isn't one.

Your problem - and people like you - is that you have no reasonable perception of God. You can't find what you don't know you are looking for. So instead you look for things that confirm your bias no matter how hard you have to bastardize them to suit your feelings. You know like the universe didn't have a beginning or life doesn't begin at conception.

But since you want to bring up decisions, decisions are always better made from a state of happiness rather than negative, neutral or stressed. It's just science. Or do you want to argue against that science too? So tell me again how atheism has enriched your life? Because we both know it hasn't.

How silly of you. What makes you think you have to be religious to be happy?

 

[Hafar1014]

It is not both, and i don't have any more patience for this stupidity.

Good luck.

Surrender accepted

What makes you think you know how I make my decisions. Typical bible thumper thinks you have to live in constant fear of a hateful sky fairy to make good decisions. That's just goofy.

Every human brain works the same way. We can see it with active scans of the brain in real time. Every thought begins as an emotional message based on memory from the Limbic system. The message goes up to the prefrontal cortex which sets goals and actions. Often the message is not understood correctly. Thats why people do stupid things and have no idea why. The LS is not verbal and implicit the PFC is verbal and explicit. Two different languages are involved. The ability to understand the message is called coherence. Some people have high and others low. The good news is that we can learn to increase it.
I never said what my beliefs are. Im a psycho therapist a mind repair man. Your chosen beliefs fill an emotional need

 

[hobelim]

I never said what my beliefs are. Im a psycho therapist

That I believe.

 

[hobelim]

a mind repair man

Maybe you should try to repair your own mind first.

Its out of whack.

The truth is that whether you mislead others as a result of great errors in your own speculations, or whether you have been misled yourself, amounts to the intentional sin of murder. There must be a trail of corpses behind you.

 

[Hafar1014]

Try and post an actual thought on the topic

Are you hard of reading?

Any story written by men that starts with "in the beginning" just like "once upon a time" and immediately introduces a crafty talking serpent is a children's story. Am I telling you something that you do not already know?

Hypocrite!

Its an allegory and quite advanced considering the time it was written. Christians dont understand it and changed the meaning. There is no devil original sin or fall of man. They invented that to create a reason for Jesus to exist and use threats and fear to compel obedience. Dont accept Jesus then youll burn in hell. Great concept right.
Genesis describes evolution. The first Adam is primitive at the end he has moral values and free will. It describes mans inherent need for meaning, and connects morals with free will. Its all about humanity's growth and development. Its told with metaphors. The serpent is not the devil. Its the metaphor for guile. Considering how old this is its very accurate in describing the human condition

 

[BULLDOG]

That I believe.

I have a psycho ex-wife and a psycho neighbor. All three of them sound about the same.

Accepts Jesus person? Having trouble sleeping? It's a fact that lack of sleep causes decreased neural function.

Maybe you should take a nap.

The real Jesus, not some imaginary mangod, taught the only right way to understand and comply with the divine commands that fulfills the promise of abundant blessings and eternal life in the sanctuary of God on earth.

But only for those who accept his teaching, and act on it, which leaves you out, left behind in complete darkness.

You "believe" that a mangod took the rap for your sins, the stupid things you say and do, but guess what! You died in the very day you started blubbering on your knees to a trinity that diddled a Jewish virgin. The Antichrist.

You've been existing without life separate from God, my God, for decades. The stench of your corruption is great! You "believe" that you are "saved" by doing the very thing that God, my God, promises results in death? Brilliant!

What a crock of shit. Can't you smell that smell? No? Thats a shame! Listen up! ATTENTION! NOW HEAR THIS;

YOU HAVE YOUR REWARD ALREADY. Death, a curse you so perfectly display. Unaware.


How is it that you don't know the only right course to take, believer? pft.

I believe the Bible...the Scriptures, which I have showed. You do not, which I have showed.

You talk alot but offer no Scripture. Why? Because you don't know the Scriptures. And when you do present a Scripture, you don't know what you're talking about. You're a phony. You're god is a phony. You're jesus is a phony.

Does your preparation H come with an applicator?
