How and why can people ignore their God’s immoral ways?

It is upon God to show the way.

Well, it's doing a really piss-poor job.

"Gnostic Christian do not hold any supernatural beliefs. I think those who do are going into intellectual dissonance."

Seriously, no supernatural beliefs? I agree that to intellectual dissonance that way leads. [With voice of Yoda you should imagine it read.]


Earlier I asked what "your apotheosis" referred to. Do you feel that you yourself are divine, not such a horrible idea provided you generalize that democratically I suppose.

Don't know about you two but I want my money back.  The Wanker.

[Greatest I am]

True. I was an atheist and did not even have a name for God when I had my apotheosis.

Your apotheosis?  Are we using this word in the same way?  Who or what was been raised to divine status, you?

I do not use that part of the definition as that designation can only be given, it cannot be taken to ones self.

Holy is as holy says and does and I am a WIP towards that.

A holy man would likely suffer fools better than I do at present. I have reduced my net bully side quite a bit though.

My passions are hard to control all the time.

Not for us to choose who represents God or the way nor create a god or the way to him out of our sheer desire in our ignorance.

Suppose none of the Abrahamic faiths are right, still, there would be Messengers, and holy books from God, the question is only about finding that reminder from God of our time.

Not badly put except that you have forgotten that the bible itself, --- perhaps holy words to you but just good advice to me, --- tells you to create a God.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

You seem to think that a genocidal son murderer like Yahweh is somehow good.

You might want to test that idea again for the first time and seek a moral God.

And he has not shown himself in a way that can be easily verified. Thus only a slim minority of the Human race even believe in him.

Many wise men have spoken to us throughout the years and they have been listened to as secular law has improved and given better laws than any of the mainstream.

As to your slim minority, have you no9t noted that the believers, or at least those who claim a religious affiliation, outnumber the non-affiliated by quite a margin.

The tipping point is said to be about 2050 and you are rather  ahead in your thinking.

I do wish you were right though.

You will be mocked for this but I personally think it is better theology to seek to follow Jesus in the sense of transforming your own life than it is to pine for the opportunity to lick God's balls.

Most people believe in something, because we're superstitious by nature. But you can't lump everyone who believes in a god or other supernatural force into one group. The individuals of those groups would generally have an issue if you tried to lump judaism, christianity, and islam under the same banner, even if they all do worship the god of Abraham. If you gather up all the believers in each major religion, you'll find that no one religion makes up over half the population of the world. That's the data I'm going with. Not just people who don't believe in any god.

That would save some space, probably.
