But you know what, you don't really have any more trouble with this than I. It's a good bet that the societies you and I live in are built on a foundation of skulls, you;re clearly not living in a cave. Neither of us is going to throw out aspirin because medical science had some Jospeh Mengele's in it either, are we? All of this ignoring that your super fairy didn't do any of this, and isn't the source of anything....
Quote:So your previous comment was meaningless... This is usually how our conversations go and why I have you on ignore.I think I did a pretty good job of explaining why it was important to reiterate, but that's also a cool story you got there, bro.
Tex: I claim position X is true.
Rhythm: Its not really X, its more like Y, but (insert random insult here).
T: Since we're assuming Z for the time being, you can't do Y.
R: I don't assume.
T: Then you're post didn't actually contribute to anything and you're nothing but a troll.
R: I know... I like it...
Quote:God owns it. You cannot get knowledge outside of God. If you choose to walk, which is your option, you are renouncing truth. Sure, you can go make up your own "truth", but that is exactly what I'm talking about with "the tortures in hell are from the people themselves".Then that bit before about god being right because he was omnsicient isn't entirely accurate, now is it. He's just right because he's god and he owns shit and yadda yadda yadda......
Quote:I was speaking of this life... If some Christian wonders, "Do I really have faith?", they can be assured in their baptism and Eucharist. After resurrection, assurance really isn't necessary. However, the workings of the universe, metaphysics, ethical formulas, God himself, and more get to studied for the rest of eternity. The only answer we get are that we're in paradise.Studying things for the rest of eternity sounds awesome...I don;t know why you had to depth charge it with the whole paradise and god thing...because if that one little bit were left out....
Quote:You're proving my point. If there is truly a God up there, you are certainly doing him a disservice. Also, "necessary" is the Good towards God. At the most basic form, this is an internal disposition toward God, even if never reflected outward. No threat being made here (mainly because I don't have any power to enforce it), but I don't lack the necessary and, if I trust your words, you do. Faking a faith wouldn't help though, but once adult, the first step toward an actual relationship is humility.You had a point? I'm not doing god any kind of service, let alone a disservice. So, the whole faith and god leaning bit is required after all, what was all that shit about doing the good? I think you're just pulling things into the fold now.
Quote:I totally don't this, it is soooooo not a misconception. It much more uniting your personal purpose with God. I don't think a non-personal God would appeal even in the least bit. Unless God somehow becomes this thing in your head that cares, God is worthless to you.Then perhaps you should avoid the script. Meh, the reasons your god is worthless to me don;t really have to do with whether or not it's a personal god - to be frank. It could get as personal as it liked, and I'd still have a few provisions before it became useful.
