[quote:Anonymous Coward 76720150:MV80MDU4NzYxXzczNTMyMzU3X0E0M0E2QTNB] [quote:mport81:MV80MDU4NzYxXzczNTMyMTU1XzQ5QjBERjc4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 71594995:MV80MDU4NzYxXzczNTMyMTM4XzYxNUIwNDQz] [quote:Wurzel:MV80MDU4NzYxXzczNTMyMDczXzkzMjc3MkY4] You say you don't have blinkers on, but you can't accept that other people don't see a deity when when they look at the wonders of the Universe. That's blinkers. Your own perspective has stopped you even trying to understand a different point of view. I see the same things you do, and marvel at the unwinding of the laws of Nature to create such complexity and abundance... but I see literally no reason to leap from that observation to a deity of any sort. Instead, I want to understand. To me, your way is a pointless denial of the wonder, by inventing an explanation that doesn't really explain anything. The mere thought of God doesn't question my beliefs in the Universe and my place in it, because I don't have any fixed beliefs. I have ideas that I play with, and try to break in order to further my understanding, and come closer to the truth. The concept of a God making everything is one of the first ideas that was thrown at me, but I discarded that one as largely pointless many, many years ago. It's just not anything close to being the most compelling possibility, and I no longer give it any thought. I appreciate that God is central to your perception of yourself, but to me the concept is largely irrelevant. It's just not very interesting. I'm not lying to myself, or to anyone else. It seems that you're simply unwilling to consider, or incapable of appreciating, such a different point of view... but that's your blinkers, not mine. [/quote] :clappa: Damn. That was beautiful. Someone who loves reality. Someone who takes this life with both hands and F***s the living S**t out of it with glee. And I would bet someone who employs kindness and respect simply because. God damn, now that is what this reality is about. The wonderment of the human soul loving this life. Now I need a smoke awesome [/quote] Agreed! Very well stated... I’m sure that spoke for a lot of us. [/quote] The problem with what you just said is this God doesnt care about what you think is right or what you dont believe God gave you the only way to heaven Through Jesus You can sugar coat it, say things like this and make yourself seem enlightened You can make others feel what you said is beautiful and so awesome This doesnt mean shit to God Jesus said the only way to the father is through me, that's it, no exceptions Search for some other way ot search for a unicorn that doesnt exist doesnt make a difference in the end if God does exist you will end up same place as all the non believers See it doesnt cost anything to believe in God and jesus Doesnt take.much time to hey saved and secure your place in heaven If you die and there's no God, then oh well, nothing lost If you die and there is a God you are fucked Cover all your bases See, like I said, its EGO You dont like the sound of there is a God who created everything So, you decide you will go search and find an alternative answer Where will you find this answer? Everything is based off of what Man believes The Bible was written by prophets who got messages from God, supposedly And everything else you read or hear well these are from humans who think they know the answer Truth is nobody knows shit But, I would rather stuck my belief in God and from a book that has been around for 1000s of year then from some new age bull shit artist of today If I'm wrong then I. Wrong AMD nothing happens after I die If I'm right I will go to heaven If you are wrong you are fucked If you are right then nothing happens Get your EGO out of the way before you die and it's to late [/quote]
Original Message
I can feel the hate for me even before I start down this road BUT...
I see the hand of God in everything around me and it is glorious...
So if you don't believe in God what more than anything is your reason for what you believe?
