Stephen Fry on God

[dyresand]

Why should we feel or be threatened by what amounts to basically you protecting a fantasy with your own ego?

When I post, I’m not trying to prove, persuade, cajole or influence board members to believe in God’s existence or change their worldview to a creation model. Why I am posting is: to give the Christian old earth perspective. So if you feel ‘threaten’, it’s entirely self-imposed. Think about it, if God gave people free will to choice, I should and do fully endorse the exercise thereof. After all, God made the Garden-of-Eden very good, and then He may it even better by introducing ‘free-will’, so far be it from me, to interfere with that. Hell is a Christianity doctrinal subject and should be ripe for discussion without it being construed as being ‘threatening’.
Here’s a suggestion: get on your hands and knees, thrust your legs backward into the plank position, hold for a minute and while doing so, tell yourself you are strong and won’t be fearful of what is message board posted…after that, you should feel empowered.
