| Think Critically for Truth (OP) User ID: 23469440 United States12/15/2012 04:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because god is not a person or a thing, it is everything and everyone. Change must first take place in ourselves. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29006067 Maybe that. Or maybe what is required for the next phase of life is the acknowledgement and acceptance of our own mortality. But what about the seriously mentally challenged? Do they have the ability to acknowledge and accept our own mortality? And if they don't (which I think is the case) then, they can't get to the next phase? !!!??? |
| Smith Jefferys User ID: 15628045  United Kingdom12/15/2012 05:24 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder how many people believe in Deism? It seems like a rare belief these days. Quoting: Think Critically for Truth There's quite a few of us. The problem is that the unthinking masses automatically equate God with religion, and can't get their head around the possibility of a 'secular god'. Hence, it's easier just to not talk about it. |

| Understudy User ID: 29954277 United Kingdom12/15/2012 06:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Could it be, that, if the God of the Bible is real, then he probably stopped intervening in human affairs a long time ago? Quoting: Think Critically for Truth So, then, it doesn't make sense when God worshippers keep saying the cause of the crazy shootings is because this Nation has kicked God out of many institutions. Because, perhaps, God knows we love free-will so much, and now he just sits back, leaves us to our own devices, and observes how we develop. That may be the reason why so much violence happens no matter how much worshipping and praying is done. Even the strict worshippers of God, such as the Amish, are not protected from crazy killings. genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. But now all of us are the enemy of the Father through sin, until we have faith in his son Jesus as our saviour. ROMANS 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: |

And the fact that humans are naturally weak-minded, (we need each other in order to cope with problems) means it's easier to want to believe in a God that we think might help us, regarding any and all problems. !!!??? |
