De-converting the fence-sitters
#3
RE: De-converting the fence-sitters
It's a big, big step to let go of the concept of god.

Even when you realise that all that Noah's Ark, Easter Story, 3 Wise Men, Away in a manger stuff is bullshit, it's normal to hang on to the concept of some kind of god to explain all the really big stuff, like Why Are We Here? and What's It All ABout? and How Can People Like Rap Music?

Taking that final step and letting go of god means acknowledging that we are all alone in a cold and uncaring universe.

It requires a rethink of some major issues. Once you realise that your life has no Ultimate Purpose you have to figure out what purpose your life does have, what purpose you are going to give it.

It really is a big deal.


Once it's done of coures it's a snap.
'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? Jer 8:8
