    Just what is truth? I cannot tell, cannot feel.
    =Abfc:iconAbfc: Feb 1, 2008, 11:18:27 PM
    Allow me to disprove the hypothesis of, first of all, an omnipotent God with a little paradox:
    Could God create a stone that he himself could not lift?
    If he can not, then God obviously does have limited power.
    If he can, though, then there is now a stone that he cannot lift, and since he cannot lift it, he is not omnipotent.


    The bible also says that God is both transcendent and omnipresent, which is clearly a contradiction of terms and therefore cannot be true.
    To be transcendent means to be outside of space and time, while omnipresent dictates the act of being everywhere in space and time at once.

    When Galileo discovered the Heliocentric model of the solar system, a heretical concept, he was imprisoned in his own home for the rest of his life simply because the church was hungry for

    power and did not wish to be questioned. Record shows that soon after his model finally was accepted universally, parts of the bible were actually re-written to conform to the new

    knowledge to seem as though the bible knew it all along. If it was changed for this, surely it was changed on many other instances and cannot possibly be a true text of the supposed God.

    Another example...
    There is no perfect God.
    If a being is perfect, everything it creates must, as well, be perfect.
    If there is a perfect God, he cannot have created humanity, because we are not perfect.
    If God did create humanity, however, God must, too, be flawed to have made so many mistakes.


    And if you religious folk would stop being so ignorant and just opened your eyes, you'd see how ludicris some of your bible's stories are... God talking to a carpenter, as a burning bush? It's

    madness. And the reason all of you tend to be so bloody ignorant is the fact that you're forced to go to church and read the bible from childhood and you're taught to

    disregard anything, INCLUDING HARD SCIENTIFIC DATA, that questions the church. You're conditioned to believe nothing but what the bible dictates.

    And on that note, you people don't even read the bible correctly! The stories in it were not, by any means, meant to be taken literally as truth! They are hypotheticals and

    anecdotes; little childrens stories for all ages, complete with a moral, which is supposed to be the important part. You're not supposed to take it word for word, you're

    supposed to use the intelligence that God supposedly gave you and use it to make your own inferences on the stories and pick out life lessons.

    So, two last things before I hit send:
    1. If you hide this comment, you're proving to the whole world that you're ignorant and that you're deliberately trying to hide any opposing thought patterns. And there's

      only one reason for somebody to do that: Knowing that the opposing thought, herecy though it may be, is true and you're silencing it before your followers realize that it's true; same thing the

      church did with Galileo.
    2. If there's any questions you have that God provisionally answers, ask me and I'll give you a scientific answer, one which will probably make far more sense if you

      let it into your thick skull.


    Have a nice day. :)

    OREGON BELIEVERS! THIS IS URGENT!

    I don't have the time to get the evidence, God is laying this VERY urgently on my heart right now to tell you this.

    It's been prophesied that God will cause an earthquake higher than 8 on the Richter scale to hit Oregon. This is because of the Mardi Gras, and the Oregon University challenging Christians.

    A man saw a vision about it, and he said it would happen on June 18. He's not sure which year, but I'm pretty sure it's this one. He's adamant about it, and says that if he's wrong, you can declare him a false prophet and he'll wear the blame, but he's confident in God.

    Oregon believers, get out of there. Or, either, get to the highest point in the state, where the believers there occasionally go. Ask at your churches if they have any high meeting points, and go there.

    God's blessings be upon you. :)

    Gosh, I didn't mean to offend you by calling you friendly. And I can see what you mean about logic being pushed out the window. You were talking about Christians being hostile while you seem to have been quite hostile yourself. Logically speaking, why would that be, when it's only a matter of someone disagreeing with you? Whether right or wrong, don't Christians have the same right to believe as they wish, just as anyone else?

    Quite a lot of opinions you got there, . Think I'l address them one at a time.

    I did say, "we are all sinners from conception. We come into the world with a sinful nature..."


    You replied, "You are wrong“.

    Well, You’re welcome to your opinion, but my statement didn’t come from an idea I thought up on my own. At least I have a reference which is Psalm 51:5.


    Your words, “The entire concept of orginal sin is inherently negative and harmful to the human psyche.”

    Well, I gotta agree with that! The concept is harmful, because sin itself is harmful. When you examine sin and the tendency toward it, the view is not a pleasant one. Yet, ignoring it will not make it go away. Saying it doesn’t exist is more harmful than facing it.


    You say, “I disagree about the -entire- concept of sin. I see only right and wrong as being based on other factors and nothing is right or wrong in and of itself. For example, something may be "wrong" because it goes against society, like stealing, killing, rape, these things are wrong in context and not inherently. “

    Can’t agree. Slavery then could be said to be ‘right’ in America from the 1700s to the 1800s because the southern society recognized it as a legitimate institution. By your definition of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, it didn’t become ‘wrong’ until a short time (in historical sense) before the civil war. By your definition of ‘right and wrong’ burning of Christians was ‘right’ because it was generally accepted as such by Roman society. It didn’t become wrong until Rome declared Christianity the national religion. When society is left on it’s own to determine moral standards and ethics, tragedy occurs. The majority of German society considered Hitler to be a good leader shortly before WWII. An entire race was determined to be the scourge of their country and great injustice became acceptable by the majority of German society. If you think such a thing could only happen in Germany, you’re mistaken. Every society is capable of this grievous error. There must be a reference for right or wrong higher than what is determined to be currently acceptable by society.


    You said “I think inherently all things simple "are". Right, wrong, holiness, sin, all these are man's creation.”

    Well, I will agree that sin was brought into the world by man. As far as the concept of right, and wrong, being man’s creation, why then does he have such a hard time with this subject? If it’s his creation, I would think he would have made the concept far easier to determine. Likewise, the concept of holiness. If this is a concept created by man, why is the Christian view of it as something that cannot be obtained by ourselves? According to Christian doctrine, only God can bestow Holiness upon an individual. Why would society create something so wonderful to be unobtainable by ourselves?


    You said, “As for the trinity symbol I found humor in it's use as so many Christians are hostile to Pagan connections, really Pagan religions/beliefs in general.”

    I don’t think I demonstrated hostility when I said that most symbols could be found to have some pagan background. Yes, I am a Christian, but I recognize that I wasn’t always, and it was a decision I made. When I disagree respectfully, that doesn’t make me hostile.

    In reference to 's earlier comment, it seems to me that we are all pagan in origin, in that we are all sinners from conception. We come into the world with a sinful nature and it's when we choose to accept Christ's Free Gift, that we change and belong to Him. Likewise, most symbols can be found to have some pagan origin in the distant past. It's when we examine why a Christian group chooses a symbol to represent themselves, that the message of Christ shines forth. Even the Celtic Cross started out as a pagan symbol. Yet when the early church missionaries arrived with thier cross, it made the Celts more open to the Gospel. Hence, the Celtic Cross became a symbol of the change from pagan to Christionity for that culture. I don't see anything wrong with the DaChristians avatar, based on what they feel it represents.
