I hold my beliefs because I know God it is that simple. Sin is the reason why people reject God. It isn't because of critical thinking skills or that reality says otherwise. Reality, uniformity, knowledge, justice doesn't make a bit of sense without Him. He is firmly in control of the world. Call it what you like but the truth of the matter is God is real and in control. God the Father sent His son Jesus, out of great love and mercy, to die for our sins. Those who accept Him receive eternal life and the Holy Spirit as a deposit.
All of creation is moving in the direction God has ordained and there is not a person in the world how can stop Him from accomplishing His plan that he already set out.
Oh really?
Failed bible prophecies
Why didn't he manage to do any of that, then? Seems like his plan has already gone haywire at least a few times. Like, all the times, really.
Come to think of it, pretty much the whole Bible is a story about how mad he gets at humans for constantly fucking up his plans. He's really gotta be kicking himself for that free will shit by now. What was he thinking? What's the use of being omnipotent if puny little humans can just up and decide you don't even exist and they don't have to follow your plans at all?
And yeah, you insist on using your book to "explain" why we stopped believing and/or how we weren't really Christians, so I'm using my books to explain the real reasons why you're able to continue believing in your invisible friends even though they are evidently nonexistent. The only real difference is that you're using a collection of Bronze and Iron Age myths, while I'm using science books. See how annoying it is?
You don't know Gaud. You can't because he isn't real, pure and simple. If you still believe in Gaud even though he isn't real, it's because you've been indoctrinated into doing so and/or you just don't have the critical faculties to objectively analyze your own beliefs. I'm not trying to belittle you or hurt your feelings; I'm just trying to tell you the truth about how ignorant you are so you'll accept reality and finally gain salvation from your superstitious imagination.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
