You speak for god, a god, something you admit to be far from. Yet you proclaim properties from such. How can't you see that?Being 'far from God' is all a matter of perspective. No matter how far I see myself from God i am still closer than someone who claims to not believe in Him. therefore even given my relitive distance I can still have insight that those who do not believe in Him do not. How can't you see that?
A Mechanic maybe far from being an engineer, but that does not mean he is not able to not only fix or diagnose a given problem. Even though your mechanic may not be an engineer it doesn't mean he is as far from understanding how your car works as you are.
Quote:If your analogy is true, then you christians should update, do what you preach, for once. We have bread for you (well, not the literal bread, but food for thought, bread enough you should a/s/k your majority of christians why there is enough food for the people in this world and all the true christians keep gathering fortunes). You should a/s/k yourself why do you stand for such dogma.Because The primary christian Doctrine is that there is freedom to be as lacks or stringent as one's faith demands Him to be. The only goal we are to strive to is that we do our very best to understand, Love and worship God. Fore the same attonement offered when we willfully sin is also offered when we do our best and fall short in our worship. so that means there is no one 'right' way to Worship God. There are 30,000 different ways to worship God as witnessed in the various brands of Christianity to varing degrees.
Quote:This does not mean to dismiss your ideas, just to say that you are allowing your ideas to be smeared by ancient dogma, from times we knew half of a shitbag we know today.

Who told you you must follow ancient dogmas?
If you follow ancient Dogma and that is the limit of your understanding then it is to that dogma that you must be faithful. however if you have the capasity to understand the freedoms offered in Christ, then you can leave those Dogmas behind... that is why we have been tasked to A/S/K the rest of our lives. As we do our capasity for understanding increases allowing us to leave legalism behind.
