Why do you actually believe in God?

RE: Why do you actually believe in God?
(July 1, 2016 at 12:24 pm)MysticKnight Wrote: 1. Because we are connected to God and can see him.

2. Because there is good reasons to believe in God through what we know about ourselves.

3. Through remembering a vision of God we've witnessed before.

4. Because he lives in us.

1. No, we can't and we are not. Maybe you think you can but you can't speak for everyone. What can see and why do you call it God?

2. Not that I can see, and I've done more than enough introspection in my time. What do you know about yourself that indicates a God?

3. Before when? What if you never have? And how would you know you weren't hallucinating?

4. No, he doesn't - unless you can demonstrate this?

"Interesting perspective, how can we come to the same perspective and know it to be true?"

Why is always hate towards the idea of connection to God?

We should want to evaluate wether or not it is true, not just try to see it as true regardless of the facts. If you only look for confirmation of what you want to be true your will part company with reality.

Atheists see believers attachment is to something they don't know is there, while believers take honor in how their souls had to strive and come towards knowledge.   How they awakened through love and desire towards their Lord.

Love makes them hold on to certainty in their vision, while those who disbelieve in God, hold on to doubts and don't rely on what they know for certain. They pay attention to doubts too much and override their knowledge, mainly, because of lack of resolve and love to serve and worship the Creator.

At the same time, the disbeliever in God dislikes the idea that believers have a honorable position higher, so is constantly attacking them. He dislikes the view believers see that disgrace lies in turning away from their Lord, the source of all greatness, praise, and that which is to be valued, because it degrades them in their view.

The believer can give in, and say, yes there is no honor in believing in God or disgrace from turning away from him and his path, but that goes against the love he understands the Creator is obligated to have.  His love forces him to see the evil in turning away from God's light and holy names and signs.

They both come out against one another.

So there is a constant battle...

In the nicest possible way, were you high when you wrote this?

Just in case you weren't, which seems unlikely, let me change a couple of things to show you how this comes across:


Quote: The thing is Unicorn believers come to the view, there biggest honor and reward is their relationship with Unicorns. Unicorns become their best reward, their most valued treasure.

Unicorn deniers see Unicorn believers attachment is to something they don't know is there, while Unicorn believers take honor in how their souls had to strive and come towards knowledge.   How they awakened through love and desire towards Unicorns.

Love makes them hold on to certainty in their vision, while those who disbelieve in Unicorns, hold on to doubts and don't rely on what they know for certain. They pay attention to doubts too much and override their knowledge, mainly, because of lack of resolve and love to serve and worship the Unicorns.

At the same time, the disbeliever in unicorns dislikes the idea that Unicorn believers have a honorable position higher, so is constantly attacking them. He dislikes the view Unicorn believers see that disgrace lies in turning away from Unicorns the source of all greatness, praise, and that which is to be valued, because it degrades them in their view.

The Unicorn believer can give in, and say, yes there is no honor in believing in Unicorns or disgrace from turning away from Unicorns and their rainbow coloured path, but that goes against the love he understands Unicorns are obligated to have.  His love forces him to see the evil in turning away from Unicorns' rainbow light and holy manes and tails.
