And, I said that we are here to help "babies" for the man-made reasons that they need help!I don't think that we're actually -here to do that-...but I think it's a great idea since we're here already anyway. There's no "sense" in that though, because it's an empty statement - there's no reason to accept it as true, we either do or we don't- "sense" isn't required or invoked. I agree with you, in spirit. Mull that over.
But you have selective hearing/seeing. My answers make too much sense... and none of you pinheads have one lick of common sense.
Quote:I'm not God. He gets to make the rules. You get to do whatever you want... aint that great? WTF are you complaining about?The quality, function, and efficacy of the rules........ Mostly, I would be complaining precisely -because- I don;t get to make them. If I got to make them, I'd just change them. How about you, do the "rules" ever strike you as possibly..just maybe..not very well thought out?
Quote:God doesn't cramp your move at all! Ever!If faith works - absolutely. Trouble is, you haven't shown faith working, or even that it is possible to determine whether or not it is working at a fundamental level.
AGAIN....The debate here was about Faith being irrational.
I made the point over and over again that IF indeed Faith works (for me)... whats irrational about it?
Quote:What "is" not irrational is all of you guys discreditting my irrational premises, assumptions, and conclusions about my experiences w/ reason and rethoric ! I have no agenda here but to support my fellow Christians, and defend our God.B mine...fixed that for you.
Quote:You've (ALL) tried every which way to change the subject. That is what you are best at! Moving the target. Injecting lies into my experiences, for entertainment and ridicule.Have I?.................
Hidden for brevity, and also because it's just an absurd rant- clam down..clam down
Quote:The only fault you can find in Him is that He hasn't revealed Himself to YOU!LOL< okay, now look, if your god never want's to "reveal himself" to me, that's fine by me. I'm not even interested in assigning faults to the character. We all have faults - it's a wash. I just think that your god ought to pull his weight around here - because I;m down here in the mud doing more than your god (as per your explanations anyway) is capable of/willing to do./ It's not some fault I want to lay at your gods feet - it's just an observation.
Quote:The supreme head of the universe hasn't taken the time to acknowledge a bunch of fowl mouthed, selfish, finger pointing know-it-all's.That he created the entire universe for -and set in lordship over.....that was the best of his creation and his favorite little hobby - that he interfered with for ages...annihilating and or subsidizing this or that tribe........whose very existence he sustains by magical force.........
Quote:I wonder why?That would be a damned good question...care to suggest an answer?
