Or NOT!No, god did not make all the rules, in fact god made no rules, but simply making rules does not absolve you from following them, and simply making rules says nothing about whether or not they are "good" rules.
Quote:And FREE WILL means it's of our own accord! If we were robots, we would have no choices to be Christian or Atheists!I appreciate that you as a catholic have a different opinion as to why people are or are not faithful, understand that your protestant friends disagree with you greatly in this regard...and that the very notion of free will is so ill-defined as to be useless to you in making a point.
Quote:The Israelites ate food from God in the desert...yet they still fashioned a false god! Does this sound like their one God was making decisions for them?You're asking an atheist what magical food from the heavens sent express mail by god sounds like? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say -sounds like bullshit-.
Quote:FREE WILL condemned us from the beginning...but it had to happen that way!lol, "free will" followed by "it had to happen that way". I'm guessing the irony will be lost on you.....
Quote:Think about this: How could God possibly give "us" His Divinity w/o having to worship us?You'll have to reword that into something a sane person could understand before I can respond to whatever you'rte asking.
Quote:If indeed we can perfect our lives, like & through Jesus' demonstration of Love and Faith without seeing Him...We then become worthy of ALL He has to give us!Which is the sum total of nothing, because you still haven't established that there's a "giver" in the first place.
Quote:"I Hid My Face From Them...For But A Moment."Meh..if I posted something like this I'd hide my face for a bit longer than a moment.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
