RE: Thank You
Thank God for all the good things that happen to you.
Think God is testing you or has a mysterious plan when bad things happen. Conflict? |

Yet he expects us mortals to find the time of day to worship and glorify him and be thankful for it... The Fucker. |

Not as you put it (vocabulary used), but the answer is yes. Everything is man's own doing, so fix what you broke. And God does not ask you to worship him. It's the personal choice of man to worship him (as I do) or ridicule him (as you do). |

I'm Welsh cake, and I'm an atheist. I can't worship or ridicule what I don't believe exists. |

As I mentioned earlier in one of my posts, I believe God does not involve himself in the wordly affairs - so he is neither responsible for finding someone's lost key, or helping TimTebow throw a pass, or solve world hunger.

(15th April 2012 13:12)Christian Wrote: how convenient. so, he created people with all this divisiveness and is now sitting back with a scotch and a cigar enjoying the chaos? well if it's all the same, i'll use my "god-given" gift to think you are hallucinating. Ah but isn't it a hallucination that Genesis only had a couple, to manufacture hundreds of thousands. Then Noah after everyone died from the flood, had to repopulate the earth. Billions of humans. Same with the coupling of animals we do know inbreeding say poodles leave them sickly - very sickly and likely to die quickly or as nature would have it stranded and pushed away from being fed. Back to Genesis how'd we get plants et al w/o sunlight? If looking into the Torah there was Lilith not just Eve as the first. (that's some translating job eh?) Looking through the Abrahamic 3 there are similarities and great holes of conflict. Yet these were the 'chosen' people. Overlooking biblical contradictions (glaring as they are) How can one take a xtian and the other 2 Abrahamic's (Muslim, Jewish) seriously? Then why are these 3 always a fighten? When written so very closely together yet so diversely apart aside from the killing of the non believer, no one is ready to admit a trio, a family. Nor any other kindred feelings for each other except to kill. Jewish always wanting "peace" yet never achieve it. Of course they blame the Muslim same family status's and blaming the Jewish. American xtian's lean toward the Jewish folk because of some insane passage about returning to Israel, when the world ends. I digress. Of course there is world hunger when believers are all entwined with the above nonsense. Mercenaries scaring little kids that 'their' beliefs will send them to hell especially their parents. Bibles are more important then to give out food. Pharmaceutical companies too busy making billions rather than sending out w/the doctor w/o borders real medicines. Building hospitals over schools for now. Same Mercenaries asking the people to practice rhythm methods over life saving condoms to the indigenous that have AIDS/HIV. Lot's wrong with this xtian culture. Much more than 'free will' can answer in the 'confessional'. It is just plain ordinary not giving a shit. That would be refreshing to hear free will is a xtian's way of saying I don't give a shit about anything else except my small and unreasonable mind. Whew got that out. |

"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud
"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority." SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis "Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires." SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis "Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." George Carlin "The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation."
