@Steve-Flordia Try writing the quote in the actual post, not the title next time - Eh, do what you want-
What is your imagination about god?
-
@meagain i do believe in god. Although i understand the reasons people may have for not believing. And wars, sickness are just a prt of life, same as peace, happiness and contentment. I dnt think if there is a god, he has something to do with any of it, good or bad. I believe him to be impartial.
-
@mr-pool oke...So the function of god got "scaled down". Made more vague so people can start over with thinking that god is the one and only true god?
Thats what pops in mind...
-
There is absolutely ZERO proof of the existence of your God. None. And if your God actually did exist, I would want nothing to do with him/her/it (?)
The death and destruction at his own hand and the millions that he had the Jews kill.....
And speaking of Jews, are they not the "chosen people". How does that sit with Christians.
And something else of note: after 553 of Christianity believing, BELIEVING, in reincarnation, some guy decided that wasn't a good idea. Wishy washy at best
-
@meagain i don't consider it vague. If there is a god, i would prefer him to be impartial rather than all good.
-
@mr-pool Ya, but he's NOT impartial! Read the old testament and my comment about the people of Judaism.
-
@mr-pool Impartial is not vague? I don't agree. When a person is impartial they got often accused of not make a stand for themselves.
-
@canadadry i am not Christian. In fact i dnt believe in the concept of religion. I believe it was created by people in power to prevent people from uniting.
-
@mr-pool I couldn't agree with you more.
-
Exactly. Religion is a tool to control the masses.
-
@meagain i believe he is impartial because human beings have logical thinking. They can think for themselves. Do you not want him to be? Suppose hi isn't and controlled our action and only made us do good. Even if that endee wars, u would still not be left with the power of reason/choice.
-
@meagain @CanadaDry when i pray i don't imagine a form. I believe i am asking for help, from a friend. He has never disappointed me till now.
-
@mr-pool Just want to clarify, if I may. You say you're not Christian yet you believe in God. So what religion are you attached to?
-
@mr-pool And what happened now?
-
@canadadry none. I believe in doing good and helping my fellow human beings. If a person requires religion to do good/justify his actions, he Isn't a good person in my eyes. I dnt need religion to do the right thing.
-
@mr-pool That is the idea of a God isnt it?
Make human beings believe that there is a god above us all and has the wisdom we don't have. And therefore fear God.
But it can never work...there will always be people who do bad things. Even more worse, good God fearing citizens who raped and murdered , -
And now I got to go...later!
-
@mr-pool It's called spirituality. I to am a spiritual person. When I "pray" I don't do so to any one...being.
My analogy and remember all analogies eventually break down....
The cells in my brain don't know each other from....Adam. But when the all act together, even unconsciously, at the cellular level, look what humans can accomplish...good and bad.
-
@meagain Ciao. Good chat everybody. I gotta rock too.
-
@canadadry people believe in god so that they can hide behind him. God made me do this, It was god's will, they teach their children about god so that they dnt turn into assholes, that they remain scared, that someone is watching them, judging them. And it still fails. There are serial killer who are religious. If you need god to be scared into doing the right thing, then maybe you are an asshole.

@meagain read my last reply.
