[Gnostic Christian Bishop]

When you reach the age of reason, will you reject supernatural religion?

Or will you seek a moral religion to replace the immoral one you now follow, if you happen to be Christian or Muslim?

Or will you let your faith hide the truth of the immorality of your God?

Reason said Hillary would win the presidency easily. God had other plans. And one you will see how overrated belief in God is. Hopefully you change your mind before that day comes.

the guilt isn't false. i am very aware of what happens when you don't have it covered

Sadly for people like gnostic. I have reached that AGE, and totally reject how typically dumb, stupid, ignorant, and Liberal-minded a gnostic must be to convince themselves how literally NON-intelligent they are. Otherwise. I have no need to listen to garbage flowing from the Disposal of cesspool phoniness.

Yeah, I dumped the Big Bang Theory and Expanding Universe Theory and that life just miracled itself into existence the first time I heard the nonsensical garbage.

I'd say I haven't missed you but that would be incorrect since I never realized you weren't here.

I think the word you are searching for is "immortal."

DLNo problem. I feel it more than worthy of yet another one of your rantings on believing in disbelieving. It also is a far better response than you have provided over the years to direction questions. "X" would cover your non-responses, red herrings, deflections and/or disappearing acts. Lest we forget, there is also your tactic of abandoning a thread where the heat's a bit much for you and starting an identical thread with a different title as if the original getting your ass handed to you didn't count. Or is it that if you say it enough times YOU might believe your own manure?

You're an easy read and you suck at this. Keep your day job flipping those burgers at MickeyD's.

I don't often like to label myself, as it's restrictive. And I'm shy and don't always like revealing such things in a public setting. But I'm a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Laugh if you will, but your laughter will show why I don't like discussing my religion. But the Spaghetti Gods have taught me to be more patient, more understanding and gained me more inner peace.

I also don't share in public often... but I have a very bad habit of eating at my god's balls every now and again. I know it's against everything I believe in, but damn, those balls are just so damn tasty!!

You have nothing that you know to be a fact. All you have is faith.

Religion is entirely faith. There are no real "facts" about the time of Jesus. There are no photos, written documents or other items of historical value.
Christians accept what is known to be the Word of God. Muslims accept the Word of Allah. Buddhists accept the teaching of the Buddha. Agnostics believe none of the above.
I am a Christian because I accept the word of God to be divine. There is no correct or incorrect way to worship God.

You are correct that faith is a matter of where one is born. Most believers believe as they do as accidents of birth.

But adults, once reaching an age of intelligence should be looking a their faith to see if it is moral or not. Right?

In the end. All that matters is Faith. Doesn't matter what religion, or belief. If you have Faith....the reward is....Nobody can take it away, dispute it, or prove it doesn't exist.

All along. I have been repeating my FAITH as the Belief in the Unseen.

Can anyone?....even those who pretend to be self-appointed apostles, prove otherwise???

Think about it. Everyone who has FAITH in something, cannot, and will not be convinced otherwise.

I like your post, Gabby, although I would argue that we have lots of written documents from the time of Jesus - basically all four Gospels and the rest of the New Testament. All written by people that were there, and with better authenticity & provenance than other historical documents that no one argues about.

I also might say that some ways of worshiping God are better than other ways, but I will leave it at that.

Christ could have called down angels to take him off that cross but went willingly. When you twist the scriptures that you actually have no knowledge of you just look silly.

I think this is an excellent summation. Religion is not meant to be a cold recitation of established fact. That is science. Religion is placing your faith and trust in the hands of a higher spiritual power. You don't pray to God hoping he will hear you. You pray because you know God will hear you.
It is like the faith and trust that a child has in his or her parents. Just because your life has never been put in danger doesn't mean you have to worry about whether your parents will protect you. It's something you count on.

[Drummond]

Most of today's scientific 'marvels' would appear to be magic to more primitive peoples. Rejection of a God on 'supernatural' terms seems to me to be akin to this in nature, it seems to me. Fact is, our labelling comes out of a lack of comprehension and acceptance of truth.

I've waxed lyrical in the past, on this forum, about the Universe's existence. I regard the Universe's very existence as absolute proof of God. The Universe exists according to physical laws, without which it couldn't continue as it does. I ask: what determined what those laws were, and are ? Time, for example, is a law of our Universe. Set apart from it ... what, if anything, replaces it ?

I have only one answer. Whatever created our Universe must, just as an inventor of a machine is outside of his / her machine, must be outside of the limits it operates by (did the inventor of modern-day washing machines need to be periodically washed and spin-dried at high speed in order to even exist, and rely on being plugged into mains electricity, ditto ??). Therefore, what created our Universe has to be a God, or some sort of equivalent we have no concept of.

So, Gnostic. If you're tempted to deny the existence of God, you might as well also deny the existence of reality itself .. your own existence, and ours, and everything else !
