In a world without God...

[Drich]

Yes, I have some physical quantities.... nothing of the sort on imaginary beings.
But you failed to answer the question:
On a world with no god, how would people become aware of any god?

I did not know you asked such a question.
The answer is easy. You become aware of Him the same way everyone else has since He told us how to. you Ask, Seek, and Knock as outlined in Luke 11

I was under the impression we were presupposing that there is no god.... where do such spirits come from?

The bible tell us that Satan and 1/3 of the angels were cast out. These are the deceiving spirits the bible tells us to gaurd against.

I would say there is not other deity/gods, but I am not so foolish to say there is nothing else out there besides man and God. A deceiving spirit by defination could set himself up as a god to someone or make someone a prophet.

I guess my question is why when a hurricane hits New Orleans or an earthquake hits San Francisco, it's God's divine punishment for evil people, but when tornadoes level bible belt communities, they're just natural disasters?

Are you serious?

Do you know know what media manipulation is?

If you were determined you could find some dbag saying that every unfavoriable natural occourance is God punishing someone... Like wise you can find the same type of person to tell you an unfavoriable event is a blessing somehow. Some producer somewhere makes a desision (based on what he thinks will bring the best ratings for his news cast) whether or not to include a judgement or blessing guy.

If you want to push the idea that katrina was God punishing New Orleans then find Book Chapter and verse that says he will do this. Otherwise know, 'street preachers' do not always repersent biblical Christianity

Letting a loved one hit/seek bottom is not indifference. It is the strongest love one can exhibit for a love one just short of dying for them. (Which God did so you were allowed to seek/hit bottom.)

So god is dead?

Have you not heard the Good New?!?!

Christ died for your sins (He was Nailed on a Cross) and on the third Day Rose from the Gave, thus conquering Sin and Death!

So, if you were standing on a street corner waiting for the light to change, and someone mindlessly started walking into traffic because they were busy texting on their iPods, you would just let them go thinking that maybe 'that'll learn em', and next time they won't be so oblivious?

It depends.

On whether or not I was willing to watch over and care for every step of their recovery and reintergration into soceity... For most people I would stop them, because I dont have that kind of time nor those resources. But, God does and has let many people learn that lesson.

It's my goal to let someone step out in front of a bus one day!
