What do believers say when you ask or tell them..
#52
RE: What do believers say when you ask or tell them..
1- knowing the result does not dictate the intent. If you intend to help someone because they need it, it's selfless. If you intend to help someone because it feels good it's selfish, but not self-serving.
2-My point was just because it's not based of concrete tangible reality doesn't mean it's made up as we go. The definitions, interpretations and understanding gets better as we go.
3-Fr0d0's opinions/ interpretations are not my opinions. I'm not mixing words, I'm giving you my understanding. If the universe is a constant and defined as everything that exists, how can our knowledge of it grow and our perception of it widen as it does in astrology and physics. I still assert there is a distinction between the universe as a whole and what we can and have yet percieved of the universe.
4-subjectively yes

As to the last one, Are you asking for why I have faith in God's existence, why I believe I can know aspects of God, or just making a statement?
I've listed on here multiple times my reasonings for belief.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
