The only difference is that most people don't want to spend their time trying to convince me that these fictional characters are real, and think that they are superior because they believe and I don't.Glob..
Ok.. lets go back a few grades and try it again.
Let's say you know vader is not real, but there is a group of sith lord worshipers who do terrorist type stuff in the name of vader. So then who do you blame for the evil works? Vader or the followers who perform them???
Now what I am saing is if you tryly do not believe in vader you automatically blame the follwers you will not consider or entertain an excuse containing the will of vader. vader is not on the map period.
That is not what you do princess fuzz. you blame God, and call the followers mundane morons.. (go back and read if you like ) So then I say some part of you does indeed believe in vader/god.
Quote:If a deity showed up and proved it's existence, this would only mean that a being with superior abilities to human kind showed up.God does for everyone who seeks Him out on His terms each and every time.
Quote: Nothing more. And any deity capable of creating billions of galaxies is capable of proving that it exists. Particularly IF it, for some weird reason, wants a bunch of sentient apes to worship it all the time.I have argued that as well. if you look at the description of God, He is a trans dimensional being who has complete power and authority over our dimension. And that is where the worship comes in.. with the power and authority.
Quote: You found god?Yes
Quote:Do you want a medal?Actually I like to be invited over to the 'big house' for dinner.. doesn't have to be just me, could be for a big party for Paul or someone.. Just like to see how God lives.
Quote:Do you want applause?No just don't want you a-holes making the same lementful mistake I made. After my judgement and I was sentenced to Hell I accepted my faith but thought the thought of wondering if I'd only known the truth would I have chose to serve God rather than hate Him would eat me live durning my time in Hell.. After all I had just momentarily left the completeness and love of what Heven would have been and it felt right... more right than anything I ever wanted for myself.
Quote:Do you think you're supposed to preach this to the poor ignorant idiots who don't believe he exists?No. I am to bring the truth to the light.. like the fact that deep down you still believe in God. like the fact that I am not teaching salvation, because we do not decide who is and is not saved. Christ does. I also teach that Christ is not a respecter of the titles we award ourselves. Atheist, Christian, Muslim deists all will be represented in Heaven to one degree or another. Some will go on to great things (His active followers and worshipers) and others will live in poverty and perform menial tasks. It all depends on what you do with your God given gifts and abilities.
Quote: (What a disrespectful asshole.) No real deity needs a human to speak for it.Need no, Want yes, as per our great commission "Go out into the world speaking of the gospel and baptising in the name of the F,S,&S"
Quote:You found god?[size]Again yes.

Quote:Bring him to a TV station and have him prove it. Until you can do that, you're wasting your time and ours.
Just because I found God does not mean I command God. That said God has given me access to His 'library' to the degree of what I can comprehend
Which is how I provide my answers.
Not the mundain stuff, but the answers the big questions no one else can answer. God allows me to sometime watch as things unfold like how creation works with evolution seamlessly by moving just 3 verses and throwing out the traditional explaination, and just let the words on page speak for themselves. Nothing in the bible has to change just our understanding of what a chapter is. if we can do that then all the paradoxes also go away. (who did adam's children marry, where did the city of nod come from ect..)
