I do like the way Ricky Gervais said it on Stephen Colbert yesterday.


You don't believe in 2999 gods, I just dont believe in one one more.


That is an interesting perspective, but what is it that Ricky does not believe? He should have asked Colbert to explain himself, instead of letting him get away with an assumption of understanding.

Sorry, not this little black duck.

Occasionally, a God Freak will attempt to explain themselves. I have never heard any other than a childish need for a father figure.




issuevoter,

You've hit the nail on the head !

That is what i need, a guide and mentor, who is a loving father figure.


"Daddy!!!!"






Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:


He is your spirit father, if you will allow it.

But if you allow it, then he also expects #5 from you.



Never old.

I'll be your daddy for $50@hour or part thereof, I'll brutalise you and you'll love me for it. You will leave feeling cleansed and with a clear conscience.

Now bend over you naughty boy, you have this flogging coming.

Does this prove that the blinded religious are totally incapable of responding to a rational argument?

Your strategy of avoiding truth is more than 2000 yrs. old Yadda. It only works on the insignificant nice people sheeple of modern society.

Nobody believes in what you think your pissant God said to you.

That's because god has morphed. For the Christians at least he's now a "personal" god. Whatever you want him to be, no more kickarse YWHY or Allah, you can interpret him, make him into what you want, he is clay in our hands, he's no longer the potter but he clay.

Yadda the insignificant, but not 'nice', replies......


Amadd,

The bible is an 'old book', it is reputedly an account of God's [our creators] interaction with a certain group of people.
[i believe that it is an accurate account]

And its content is an instructive account [a cautionary tale ?] of how wicked and evil man, or a man [singular], can be.

But why study it ?



Amadd,

Nobody needs [to read] an old book to convince them, that it is the fate of almost all of us, that in our life,          we will make some good choices in life and, sometimes we will repeatedly make poor choices.

We have a conscience for that.


"And what is good, Phaedrus?
And what is not good?
Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?"

- Plato
found in, Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance




So why study/examine the content of that 'old book' ?

Because i have made a choice;

I want to be constantly reminded about my nature.

And [also], i have made the choice that i want to be guided by the knowledge that that old book contains.

Personally, i find that reading the contents of that 'old book', constantly allows me to re-focus my attention on what i consider to be important.

That is a choice that i deliberately make.

Other people may choose another path, and they may make other choices.

That, is their path.




Amadd,

I am opinionated and happy.         Shocked           Grin       [some ppl say, very opinionated !!!   hehe]

I am not confused.

I am not unhappy.




.




Like myself, you are free to believe, whatever you choose to believe.

And it will follow, that what you believe, will be a guide to your path in this life.

So go your own way.

Walk your own path in this life.

Have a nice life.

Signs you are in an abusive relationship

*They play tricks to "test" the relationship

*Claims they hurt you because they love you

*Demands you do as they say without question

*If you behave or think in a way that they disagree with they threaten you with harm

*Blames you for their shortcomings

*Tells you this is what true love is

The God that you believe in is the one that you deserve. Don't go blaming your God if things don't work out.

So did mother Theresa have faith until the end. Then she lost faith. Go figure  Grin

She did not lose anything. She just began to sort out her perception of reality.
