I just find a lot of it ironic. More is expected of me as mere mortal than God. I gotta be held accountable for my actions but when things go astray, God had a reason. My issue is more with the Bible (The King James Version, the irony in that folks for centuries were referencing a remixed version) than God Itself. I believe in a higher being that understands everyone individually. That’s where it stops.

its possible to believe in both positions

you just have to abandon your own limitations youve set on God

most people do not meditate or pray enough (properly) to fully appreciate the good news.

It’s possible but I have faith that I will be the best version of myself and it’s good enough. The person(s) who wrote those books knew as much as me.

whats wrong with the next best version of yourself?

How would you know the characters of people that lived thousands of years ago? And exactly how do you think they would resonate with American culture with respect to what they wrote in OT manuscripts/NT Gospels?

Most people do not seek God because things are going good. They seek God often because things are not good. If you consider just this much, youll see why and how to deal with the common defenses and potentially see past them altogether.

How would you know the characters of people that lived thousands of years ago? We all don’t know. It was written by a mortal. And exactly how do you think they would resonate with American culture with respect to what they wrote in OT manuscripts/NT Gospels? I don’t know nor do I care. Why can’t God present Itself to us?

Black Jesus isn't going to save you either
Already has.

So you hate accountability and don't want to believe in it either. Let's get right brother. God just asks that you feel bad and say sowet for what you've done and try again the next day. He knows you're going to fall short. It's the effort and the works of good that you do that do matter.

To the bolded how do you know w/ absolute certainty that’s what He/She/It said?

You’re reaching on me hating accountability. Is God (the biblical one) accountable for the chattel slavery of my ancestors?

Let me guess. God had a reason and works in mysterious ways?

This is a serious inquiry. Seems like God just let that slide. There are many atrocities going around the world but I want to keep it local. Since I hate accountability and all.

...he asks, from a cell phone/computer/tablet that was created because of principles derived from scientists, who are overwhelmingly irreligious.

Believers are just like modern women-- completely ignorant of the men they rely on to actually exist.

While you sit here deriding atheists, they're making the food you eat, the vehicle you drive, and the electricity that powers your home. If the world was left up to you backwards ass nikkas, humans would be fukking goats, stoning people for their lifestyle, and flying planes into buildings...


...oh wait.

:mjlol: This post is almost alarmingly stupid, and you so strong with it too. Most of modern science is based on the work of enlightenment era christian monks and muslim scholars.
