5 Reasons God Exists

Post Reply New Topic

Christians believe in the supernatural and yet they STILL havent come up with a test for nonbelievers that gives reproduceable positive results! TBPH, there is only ONE way to make me believe in God and is for God to contact me DIRECTLY.
As for the claim that the universe came out of Nothing.....NOTHING is known about what existed before the Universe and where the almighty singularity came from! So you can manufacture an explantion that a supernatural being is responsible but until the above conditions are met there is no way to confirm this Beyond A Reasonable Doubt.

yeah, we have no way to know what happened before the "bang"

i'd venture to say there was something.

well according to the bible, God chooses who gets saved.. he hardens the heart of many.. why would he do that?.. who knows.

Nup...
I don't get it.

I cannot assign a definition to the word 'god', nor see a point in doing so.

I don't understand why people subsume their gnosis in others.

Religeous texts leave me baffled.
The bible in particular

In the beginning was the word..
cute... meme as origin.

My favourite paradox... "God created man in his own image"
I cannot imagine anyone satisfactorily explaining that one to me.

"For God created man to be Immortal . .

And made him to be an Image of his own Eternity."

Wisdom 2:23 (Apocryphia)

The bible is a think piece.. I do not think that it is pure literary text.. Besides.. I like the dream concept. Thoughts are powerful, and God creates with his thoughts.. his word is actually a thought. It would be neat to think that we are just thoughts inside of his head. It would explain a lot. a hell of a lot.. but then how can you justify it..? you can't. You can't apply logic to what god is. God is a spiritual force, that is certain.

The question is, which man?

Whether you like it or not, God is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence(?) Inalienable rights are not gauranteed by man and gauranteed by God or a higher power.

What man creates, man can take away. Inalienable rights are rights that cannot be taken away or changed.

It says that? really?..


booyahh

It's more of an implied thing.

Also, my ultra-conservative uncle always preached that to me.

"Before" time and space, would have to be indifferentiated, no? There would be no difference in spacial or temporal extension between two objects, so there couldn't even be two separate objects. What do you think?

My reasoning is.. first.. I would drop the symbolism..

Then we can think in terms of energy.. rather than God..

That energy has always existed,.

I find the two are interchangable.


To speak in comparisons..

At night.. while sleeping.. we become unconscious..

Metaphorically speaking.. we slip into neutral gear.

A state of paradox.. we exist.. as a physical presence.. and yet while unconscious.. our experience is.. we don’t exist at all.

All conscious information ceases.. that is.. until we begin dreaming.

It’s like a mini “death” state.. we go though every night.


The same can be said for energy,

When.. it is in “neutral gear”.. its energy is potential.. and in this sense.. we can say… it doesn’t exist..

In the same way as we experience "not existing".. while unconscious.

Yet the potential does exist.. in both cases.

Now.. if we make a switch.. and call energy…. “God”.. again.

Then we have.. That which has always existed.. and always will.. which is an idea.. represented by a symbol.

So.. there is nothing to be created..

Nor anything which can be destroyed.

Just a paradox… something that both exists… yet doesn’t.

Anyway.. that's how I go about understanding it..

“The distinction between natural and supernatural, in fact, broke down; and when it had done so, the burden of intolerable strangeness which this universe imposes on us by dividing it into two halves and encouraging the mind never to think of both in the same context. What price we may have paid for this comfort in the way of false security and accepted confusion of the thought is another matter.”

C.S Lewis

Energy and thoughts are most important to understand God. He is thinking of us right now! And our energy is a result of our connection with him.

That's not God, that's a guy from Star Trek you f*****g failure at life



am i right?..
