God does not exist

Yes, because it makes a great deal of logical sense to disprove the existence of that which there is no proof of existence to begin with.

 

Thank you for the longwinded nonsense.

 

When we all know there is no absolute proof of God's existence you will only disprove it for the people who already shared your opinion. The people who just happen to have faith in It's existence often are aware faith is the only thing that is needed to believe and cannot be bothered with your demand for proof. Yes, there might be a purpose in confronting those who are bothering people who do not share this believe/faith but is this really the case here?

 

The title of the thread states the obvious. Those who ignore such a fact deserve to be punished for their ignorance.

 

Haha :biggrin:

 

Exactly.

or gods, npl
fate: the entire group of supernatural beings viewed as deciding human fate


[ Old English , < Indo-European, "that which is invoked"]

 

A dictionary definition is not proof of a deity's existence. It is merely proof of man's imagination taking form through etymology.

 

I don't think he ment the definition as such proof (which is not available, evidently) but to point out why you can't expect such concrete proof.

 

Among other things.

 

A child could distinguish that it is not.

There are no animate books that discern the environment.

Here is where interpretation comes in. the words are inspired by, not written by, or spoken by. I can be inspired by a movie to comment on the movie, but the movie is not the commentator. The bible is inspired by god as is the scripture of all religions

i·dol·a·try

i·dol·a·try [ī dóllətree]
n (disapproving)
1. idol worship: the worship of idols or false gods
2. extreme admiration: excessive admiration or love shown for somebody or something


[13th century. Via French idolâtrie < Greek eidōlolatreia "image-worship" < eidōlon (see idol)]
You accord the bible supernatural being. By definition this is idolatry

I have told you before the bible has been and remains my constant companion. I don't agree that your interpretation of the bible, what it means or what it is, is suitable for everyone.

Interpretation gives meaning to otherwise inert symbols.
God breathed us into existence. We are inspired of god. God said let there be light.

 

Just like it makes a great deal of logical sense to say something doesn't exist just because you won't except the proof of it, because you don't want it to exist. Kind of like doctors not accepting the fact germs can cause disease.

 

It only states what you assume is obvious but it is not universally obvious at all and in fact is just not true.

Those who do not accept the fact of God's existence, are already punishing themselves.

 

Agreed, it might be obvious to the topic starter but I regard it as a stance provided for conversation and nothing more or less.

 

I see you continue to ignore Meagain's admonishment to stay on topic. I do not wish to continue this off topic discussion but I will answer your absurd questions one more time.

I know many children who would not agree with you.

Your opinion, God wrote "one".

As usual you allow your spirit guide to mislead you into thinking that "interpretation" is an important part of your understanding.

Ah no. All religions taken as a whole are contradictory and God does not author such confusion and so only the scriptures in the Bible are inspired by God. Once again your spirit guide has mislead you.

Yes, very good, you were able to find a dictionary definition of the word idolatry.

Oh please, when did I ever indicate the Bible is a supernatural being. I have only stated that it is capable of doing the things that God said it was capable of.

If I designed something capable of throwing a baseball and it can throw a baseball, that does not mean that it has become a living being or that I idolize it, only that it does what it was created to do.

Great, now try to read and understand it without your spirit guide looking over your shoulder and misleading you.

As I have pointed out many times anybody's "interpretation" is meaningless and that includes mine, if it disagrees with God's "interpretation" and God's one "interpretation" is suitable for everyone.

You're still hung up on words, let it go and accept what God is saying.

Yes He did.

We can be.

Yes He did.

 

Always trying to control the flow of information because what emerges is too enlightening for your tastes. If the statement is god does not exist and you say there is a magic book written by god, then the discussion we are having is substantially on topic as I am refuting that claim.

You shall know them by their fruit and in addition, you are the salt of the world, if the salt has lost it's taste, then what good is it for seasoning?

You have never taken all religions as whole. They are identical in esoteric significance.

I said has supernatural being, not is a supernatural being.

a baseball never throws itself

I read it with the eyes god gave me to see.

Gods living word is one word expressed diversely.

I am liberated from all prejudice by the truth that sets us free.

Who was not created in the likeness and image of god?

 

God's image fascinates me. Why does God have nipples and a belly button? God had hands and feet before he created matter? God had eyes before he created light? How odd. Do you suppose he was disappointed that his eyes only picked up a narrow spectrum of energy? Or does his eyes work better than the ones he made us. Too much light gives me a headache. It would be hellish agony to see everything, I think. If there is a God, I think he must be in the center of hell. I think.

 

If God created us in his own image, what does that say about God? :devil:

 

Is that his image? I don't think he has a physical appearance like a human.

 

an image of god .

one is a rainbow around the sun .

another favorite , and again of light , is rays of
sunshine displayed as shafts reaching through low-
lying cumulus .


the heavenly has a feeling and sometimes
it is to weep for
