"GOD"--the biggest conspiracy theory of all

[fgarvb1]

The only problem in the position that many people he have here is ...

We and I mean this world and it's people are subject to the judgement of a LIVING GOD...Not some idol that does nothing and can do nothing.

Some believers (and bless them) believe and follow Jesus without ANY proof other than the word that is written in a bible. Many preachers and ministers go their whole life without a demonstration of Gods power.

I claim his potent majesty and proclaim him clearly and his son Jesus as the Christ and savior because I have experienced his wonders and miracles and being involved in the mix wonder why he bothers with any of us.

I don't know how much wronger people can get but, Y'all are!

In case you are wondering ...NO. I cannot just sit by and nor say anything.

God is dead.

It's my world and I'll haunt you if I want to.

Another good question is the "why" of God.

Considering that there is no bigger fraud in all of nature, it isn't surprising that humans would project an omnipotent being to associate themselves with. All human beings seek validation for our status as THE apex life form on the planet. Stripped of our accouterments, humans aren't a very impressive species, but if you impart humans with an immortal soul and an affiliation with THE supreme being, some people will accept that as sufficient validation of our worthiness to rule over all other species.

What really separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom??? Religious elitists will point to God and our "unique" human soul. I think what separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom is our justified fear of extinction. That fear undoubtably led to humans willingness to harness the power of fire. It's ironic that fear of natural predators led to humans overcoming their natural fear of fire, which ultimately set us on the path to global dominance. A kingdom built on fear that still harbors that original fear in its "soul".

Congrats!

You have stumbled on on of Gods mysteries that has confounded man and Angels alike.

And that is why?

Why did God make man and then bend down low and redeem man and not the fallen angels?

I will have to ask about that some day.

God Fearing people.

don't be afraid of us, you ain't tinkerbell

At least the "good" religions.

There is only one conventionally described as "The Good Religion." A number of others might just be good.

God, a construct of man's imagination because of a need for something to believe in. A short time later those with a little smarts realized it was a fabulous way to control those who believed.

If god was god, why did he wait until just a few thousand years ago to reveal himself? Why allow countless generations of humans to believe in deities that don't exist? Why condemn those people to hell because they were ignorant of his existence?

Or is it as I stated, god and gods, are a construct of the human mind because of the innate human need to believe in such a being? That would explain the evolution of the concept from worshiping the moon and sun to worshiping an invisible man in the sky.

There has never been proof of the existence of a god. God's existence in the human story has always been explained through belief and faith. But if belief and faith are all that is required, who says that your concept of god is the correct one? One of the problems with using belief and faith as the designator that god exists is that everyone can believe what ever they want. God, gods, no god, each is as each believes and every one of those beliefs are correct!

An atom is a construct of man's imagination. Can't actually see one, only where it might be. Scientists believe in atoms never having actually seen one.

Therefore, atoms don't exist.

AM I to believe that you never read any version of a Bible?

Your Questions makes you sound like that.

I say there is a GOD based on the fulfillment of his word and that interaction in real time at different times of my life. What better thing to base it on?

I know I have been visited by at least two Angels and the Spirit called "The Hound Of Heaven" when I was called to be Baptized, Plus the almost immediate answer to dozens of Prayer request. (minor ones.)

So I find the statements of there is No God to be unacceptable to me.

It's like saying there is no moon from a blind person.

Sort of like you apparently don't understand the bible?

Look. Just save your dignity and take the L on this one. An atom was a bad example for you. Since they can in fact be seen. That is all.

Of course it's unacceptable to you, as is your unverifiable claim there is a god is to me. I can not prove a negative, that a god doesn't exist and you have no proof there is. And no I will not accept your unsubstantiated claims of being visited by angels as proof.


"I say there is a GOD based on the fulfillment of his word and that interaction in real time at different times of my life..."

So your claim is that because you believe he is real, he is real? Did I not say the same?
Your "evidence" that he is real is nothing more then a belief, a few sinapsis in your brain, transmitting euphoria fed by dopamine produced by the situation you were in that told you it was so. Your claim was and is unsubstantiated, unprovable and unverifiable.

But I also said that because he does not exist for me, he does not exist. It's much like Schrodinger's cat, you can believe it's true, I can believe it's not and until such time as it's proven to be true we are both correct. That will never happen.

As much as you equate my non acceptance of god as trying to convince a blind person there is a moon, trying to get you to admit there is no proof of the existence of god is like trying to convince someone on LSD that what they are seeing isn't real. As I said, a construct of man because of the desire to have something larger than themselves to look up to. Some do not need such an artificial construct to live their lives.
