Hey kids, let me show you proof that God's real

[mingus]

That's rich

You deserve to be as miserable as you so obviously are.

God "experiences" are the result of emotional/psychological manipulation. I once thought God revealed himself to me too...but I realized that was me wanting it to be real more than it being real. Getting into churches and around like minded people who also had "experiences" only made me believe it more. It was only after I started doing some research did I realize that most of what I believed was made up by people.

I do think there is something out there, but I don't have a clue what it is or how it works. But one thing is for sure, it has nothing to do with the Abrahamic religions. He's a little too hippie for me, but I do like a lot of the stuff Alan Watts has to say about spirituality.

I can't handle being around a group of non believers for very long, they wimper around too much, always some problem, aren't happy with their life. Totally different deal being with believers, they have a good outlook for things, far FAR happier.

I have no doubts SOMETHING is responsible for all this, noway this ....BANG~~~~~ But, I have no idea what that SOMETHING really is.

You deserve to be as miserable as you so obviously are.

Uh huh

Thanks Christian

“Bible God doesn’t exist”

Isn’t that the primitive, irrational, emotional part of your brain making that categorical assertion, oh so highly evolved atheist intelligent being?

“Comes right at me”

LOL

"Disingenuous"

Lol

[spurraider21]

blake is to atheism as reck is to liberalism imo

make of that what you will

[mingus]

It was an emotional statement you made. And the way you constantly deride/insult my religious beliefs & have over the years, you come off as elitist & arrogant. You’ve always been condescending toward me. Thus the last part of that statement.

You’ve made that bed for yourself with your condescension, derision, arrogance & elitism over time.

You can quit pretending you haven’t been that.

Obviously, I disagree. There is definitely for some (or a lot) of people an emotional/psychological aspect. But, for others, it’s more than that.

I don’t know what is or isn’t true in terms of everything in the Bible.

There, really, are only a couple things I do know. Actually know.

1. There is a God & He’s the God of the Jews & Christians.
2. Jews were the Chosen People

i think "know" is a strong word here

devoutly believe?

Meh. I don't know if there's a deity out there or not. I just know it's not bible god.

you're a jerk about it tbh. incessantly.

[Blake]

you're a jerk about it tbh. incessantly.

I know who I'm being a jerk to. Thx.

I have little patience for re ed arrogance.

[spurraider21]

I know who I'm being a jerk to. Thx.

everyone?

[Blake]

everyone?

Have I been a jerk to you?

[mingus]

Like I said, there are two things I know.

1. That there is a God, & it’s the God of Jews & Christians.
2. Jews were the Chosen People.

I don’t just devoutly believe that. I know it.

Everyone will, at some point in their lives, come to this same knowledge. I guess you can say I know that, too.

[mingus]

Poor you. Shame on me.

Doesn’t bother me. Your name calling says more about you than it does me.

[Chucho]

Awesome last page or so. Said it yesterday, the people who try soooo hard not to take Ls are taking loads this week.

What does you name calling say about you, Christian?

can you explain how you know it?

or what has gotten you from "devout belief" to "knowing" it

[spurraider21]

So you are certain that Hebrew law is God's law?

[spurraider21]

Have I been a jerk to you?

when you bog down a thread with an otherwise meaningful discussion into "lol ur stupid for believing in god" then you're being a jerk to the forum

[Chucho]

Yeah, showing you're selective about your hatred and intolerance is a major L before everyone else starts ting Ls all over you.
