The One Thing the Atheist Misunderstands

[DaddyMoreBucks]

I've read quite a lot neo pagan books. And they're usually alluring to nature, including humans, as being god. So basically pantheism.

**except pantheism does NOT anthropomorphize.*

That's what I figured at first -- but existence itself is not a thing at all. It is a state of something. Now, if someone wants to say the Universe is God, hey, that's nice. Let's sit down and chat ... I've got some questions.

**You say existence is a state. i say it is a thing. am i wrong? lol
You say potatoe I say potatoe.
"Existence itself is not a thing at all" ROFLCOPTERSINLMAOLAND!
then I guess what you typed is not a thing either since existence is not a thing then how could anyTHING exist?
Seriously I have never seen anyone so close to getting it before. That statement is GOLD.
if existence is not a thing at all to you then I have a great idea. Since you are not using it for anything else try assigning the word God to it and re read the bible... it might actually make sense to you this time.

That doesn't follow. I find the Bible unimpressive, and don't consider your take particularly useful, no matter how impressive your C.V. (curriculum vitae) might appear.

**Well if you find it unimpressive how likely are you to find hidden meanings in it? lol Don't consider my take useful? maybe try considering it? (too much effort for you?) what is not useful about the end of war, crime, jealousy, hatred, and the rest of the emotions mankind has yet to learn how to deal with in a civilized manner?

Also, is there some sort of rule that Christians who visit here must compare their reception here with the travails of Christ? Seems like every one of you guys do that shit.

**I never posted that I was Christian. But I would take it as a compliment. I can use other texts, Pagan?, Gnostic?, do you have a preference?
the truth is many 'Christians' do not understand the Bible either.

So you're having a hard day on an Internet message board? I'm sure that's just like crucifixion.

**Yeah except i am the one doing the crucifying

Awww. I would have loved to play with this one. Damned work.

i'm here. let's play.

Blaaah blah blah blah, blah, blah blah LOL blah blah blah blah lol lol lol blah (Paraphrased)

I am going to guess you got low scores on the 'comprehension' part of English class in school.

Your apathy defines you.

Pantheism is defined as NOT athropomorphizing Life.
on wikipedia anyway for what that is worth.
probably more believeable of a source to you guys for definitions of God than the Bible is haha

But pagans for sure believe in the very same God of which I speak
as do Gnostics, Christians, Catholics, and many many more. Those that have done their homework anyway. Even Muslims have a savior trapped in a cave for 3 days (Sun in winter solstice).

Religion was the first science books. written so the smart and the not so smart could get value from them since paper was as short as people that could read.

That book you are all so unimpressed with remember?
well aren't you the snoot's boot's.
those old people back in those days must have been dumb as tree stumps right? i mean right guys? I mean they (being the only ones alive that took the time to learn to read and write on their own without having it forced on them by public school) must have been so dumb to be writing all that stupid stuff that you are so unimpressed with and makes no sense to YOU.
no way they could have been on to something... right?
I mean you are 100% about that right?
Cause if by chance you were .00000001% wrong then you would be looking pretty dumb trying to tell people that existence is not a thing.

Well it makes perfect sense to well educated people.
What book did you write that was so much better at explaining It?

Jesus said, “I and the Father are ONE”. Didn't they nail him to something for saying that part in particular?

Only if you accept that this person ever existed, having some kind of personality disorder and being actually nailed to the cross. Which wouldn't have happened if he said the above, since the Romans couldn't have given a shit about some mad person roaming the land saying stupid things. The land was ripe with them at that particular time.

And congratulations, you take the bending and stretching of bible verses to a whole new level to suit your agenda. Which only proves that everyone can pick his cheries from that not too well written book.

that is because it is a METAPHOR.

LOTS of people got crucified back then they would tie you up and if anyone cared about you they would come get you that night. If not well the town don't like you no more lol

and they crucified many for professing knowledge of God.

The church has always been very closely tied to the state which i can explain why but another time for that novel...

The Church felt threatened by people that were onto their scheme. The people that knew what God REALLY is and would call them out on it.

If you think God is what the church tells you then you then yeah you are probably being played.

God requires no belief to verify.
No faith required.
God has a location.
Easy to find.
God is a word with a definition.

Webster would say basically 'see the Bible'

And other sources would say 'Supreme Being' - proper noun.

Others say, "All there is, was or ever will be." (good one)

God is Love. (also a good one for the thinking)

God is the creator, keeper, and only resident of all that is.

backed up by thousands of texts from hundreds of countries in as many languages.

take the time to study the roots and definition of a word before you tell people that what it means does not exist or you might look mighty dumb puppy when they finally figure it out lol
