Religion/Spirituality what's with all the atheists on the coli?

[Tommy Knocks]

No need, breh. I know what a pantheist is. I simply asked you a question, with no assumptions, based on what you said.

Well. My answer should have given you a clear answer. My creator is the universe. There is no doubt the universe created everything around me. God is the universe, the universe is god. What is a god? A being that created all things, that pretty much sums up the universe. We only know 2% of the known universe, for all we know, it's conscious. After all, it created that too. It's a living organism ever growing and evolving.

However, there are rules within the universe, and gravity is one of them. So no, I don't believe someone walked on water.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

The Word isn't for everyone...

Zechariah 13:8-9

8 And it shall come to passe, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off, and die, but the third shall be left therein.

9 And I will bring the thirde part through the fire, and wil refine them as siluer is refined, & will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my Name, and I wil heare them: I wil say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

I agree. The Quran says something similar. "Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe."

That's why I don't sweat it. People can believe whatever they want. My biggest issue is disrespect. Atheists love to throw the term fairy tales around when these "fairy tales" have stood the test of time. Meanwhile science books get outdated evey decade.

Live and let live, no need to try to chastise someone because they believe something you don't or vice versa. And in all honesty it's extremely poor representation. Religion stresses morals and good deeds. Why would one abandon that to call people retards and mock them? Apparently atheism doesn't make one a better human being.

he went to a desert in the middle of no where, and introduced himself to the jews, meanwhile the majority of the human population was most dense in Asia.

Would be like trying to give a message to Americans, and using a bullhorn in Alaska.

Well, that is according to 3 religions out of thousands. God or Gods have introduced themselves to a lot of different people depending on what book you're reading.

If you go by this:
Iroquois Creation Myth, 1816

The Supreme Beings created the world on the back of a giant turtle.

Why are you a mere mortal trying to understand the workings of an immortal?
Such level of blasphemy is uncalled for.

You mean what the bible is? yes that bible is quite blasphemous. It pretends to know what god wants and is. That's just insane, esp for primitive men.

I, on the other hand, am not trying to workout anything supernatural. Simply a mere observation of the physical laws around me.

why would god not want us to understand him why do people always present god as being mean arrogant and having no sense of humor

But there are bones, fossil imprints, and we can trace the evolution of certain animals to realize that creatures like that have existed (I'm assuming you were talking about Dinosaurs). That is something tangible is it not?

Do you honestly believe that there is no historical facts to back up the scriptures?

Yep, Romans 3:3-4

3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I agree but we hear from Christians all the time saying how god speaks to them

Yes, but they belong in an insane asylum if they hear voices. The best example of this is when Bush said that God directly told him to end the war in Iraq:

George Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq' | World news | The Guardian

Who is to say he is wrong if you accept God talking to people?

That's fine but you didn't really say any of that in your original post, which prompted my question. All you said is you don't believe a man can walk on water. Nothing about pantheism in that post, breh.

Well, some of the scriptures pontificated upon historical or present events, so I can't say that. But I can say there is no proof a man can survive inside of a whale, or fly on a winged horse, or walk on water, or receive direct messages from god. While I can't say for sure a man named Yeshua did or did not exist, I can say for sure that there is no tangible proof he was god in the human form.

very christian of you, name calling, that's what jesus would have done.

Do you honestly believe that there is no historical facts to back up the scriptures?

there are but how come the egyptians never wrote anything about the red sea parting? how come you do not believe the egyptians religion as truth, when they'd had religion WAY before the jews AND far more documentation, details, and an actual civilization as proof of gods greatness.

I dont think you know how christianity spread, or how jesus was written about 60 years AFTER he died, or how its kinda interesting how theres documentation on his childhood, and then fast forwards to his 30s, totally missing 90% of his life. lol.

2 Peter 1:20-21

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

But you do understand if there was tangible proof then there would be know need for faith and the love for God would be forced not and not expressed in free will.

 

[Mr.Whiskers]

Eh, believe in a god. But i can't believe in religion. God didn't fax the bible/koran/torah down word for word. Someone wrote that shyt, and people can alter what was written for their own benefit, and there's too much bad blood because of it. God doesn't kill people. You and I kill people.
