I think we have WAY too narrow of a concept of what God is. I believe in the next life and I believe we are all going to be very surprised. We have NO idea. Quoting: Diogenes |

Quoting: DiogenesYou know a lot of christians that are judgemental do you? (Speaking to the first poster. The second one is me. Sorrry.) And you are what - non judgemental? Right on - EVERYBODY is judgmental. We all judge everybody - based on their actions, their job, their looks, everything. This "Christians are judgmental" talking point has been used and abused until it is meaningless. So what? Everybody is. To assert that you are not judgmental makes you guilty of the VERY SAME characteristic you are accusing Christians of possessing. Hypocrisy. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 163095 United States 11/27/2006 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wait a minute. I didn't say that. Why does there have to be a heaven and hell? For all we know there could be one place that is nothing but fog for all souls, right? That doesn't mean I do not believe in an afterlife, but it sure is hard for me to determine if there is one. That obviously is not for us to know, only to have "faith" in, right? No life after death? Is that what you are saying? Ok - well I guess we will see. Or perhaps not. : ) Quoting: Diogenes |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 163095 United States 11/27/2006 10:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Correct. But I also did not judge anybody here, what I did was relate my observations. When I use the judegment card, it works very effectively to show Christians what they do that their books says they shouldn't. And any judement upon another souls is a judgement toward oneself. Keep those judgements close and see why we judge ourselves. It is a tool to help us understand why we can't say something is wrong, if we don't know the real truth of what "god" says. Can you explain why god is silent today, when in the past he was such a social vreature to his creations? No, and neither can I, God does not say anything to anyone here. But we know what/or how to live correctly without any god "saying" anything. I base most of my logic on the fact that the holy book says that god created man in his image, and this includes any sins that people commit. God made sin just like god made you and me, and I beleive he loves all of it! Oh, I have one. Why are Christians so judgmental?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 163095 United States 11/27/2006 11:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well it is thought provoking. The truth is we do not know what god likes or dislikes. But we know he must, because he made likes and dislikes, but we can't say what it is he likes by far. When I say I have a personal relationship with god, I mean what I say, and it really is nobody's business, but God's and mine, correct? My souls salvation is not the business of any christian, or muslum, or penticost, or chatholic, it's between me and god. Nobody else has a say so in this matter. Some may want to puff up if they think "they have saved somebody," but that is like self pride and that is the driving force behind most religions. Leave me alone about it and god will take care of me by himself. <God made sin just like god made you and me, and I beleive he loves all of it!> Quoting: DiogenesWe'll have to agree to disagree on that one.
