Religious Question

[phallus]

That was a great post, It has made me understands things more. It is like with the woman you love she may not always be great but you still love em anyhow same with kids. I am just going through this really angry phase for the past month. I thought your dad was a musician are were you just playing.

lots of people in north america are really angry all the time when thier lives are pretty easy and they have nothing to complain about - what if u lived in china or were an orphan in africa, *****?

my dad was just a regular guy who ****ed off on my mom when i was a kid, he wasn't as sucessful then as now.

einstein believed in God, however, when he was a child he was considered ******ed. many scientists such as isaac newton, ever heard of him? and brilliant philsophers such as kierkegaard were believers.... nah, buddy, what ur really saying these people stopped believing God because they can't understand why God would let bad things happen to them. is God a ****ing magician who's supposed to make everything rosy and perfect for u? i have a buddy who stopped believing because he's a self centered yuppie loser who can't understand why he's not richer and everything isn't perfect in his life

Einstein wasn't fond of the religious books.

The Newton story is quite different from what you describe. All his scientific works were done before the age of 27. Why?

He needed to find out the mass of the earth to prove his gravity-theory, and he had heard that the Giza pyramids were constructed to astonishingly accurate measurements of the earth.
He went down there to study them. Afterwards he abandoned science and started to write books about God and religion.

What happened?

Well, the first measurement he did was to find out the circumference of the Giza pyramid.
It didn't add up to his calculations until he changed the measuring system from the english inch to the hebraic inch.

It was exactly 365,242 inches.
That is the exact number of days in a year, 365,242 days.

Every measurement he made was aligned to something like the days of a month, year, lunar cycle etc.
The height of the pyramid equaled the average height of the landmass on earth.
If you draw lines from the pyramid from north-south and east-west, they are almost aligned perfectly with the north,south, east and west.

It is located at the exact center of the earth's land surface. The geographical center of the whole land mass including the Americas, and Antarctica.

Isaiah 19:19,20

19. In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord.

In the Hebrew language the letter symbols of the language are also the same symbols as numbers. The 30 words of Isaiah 19:19 in Hebrew have a sum total of 5,449. This is the total numerically of Isaiah 19:19. The distance between the north and the south poles boring through the earth divided by 500 million equals 5,449. The number of pyramid inches from the base of the pyramid to the summit platform of the pyramid is 5,449.


Easy to understand he got obsessed with it, no?

I have been homeless in the US and I wouldn't want to be working in China. I am angry for no reason though cause of problems talked about in Classic nothing currently happy. Your post did actually make me feel better from earlier.

so you are saying there are things god can't do... but isn't god supposed to be able to do anything and everything??


btw why is it that whenever something happens it was a miracle, divine intervention.. a gift from god.. but when **** goes wrong, well god can't help and that's not his job?..


see the quote I posted above.

no, i don't think there is anything God can't do, and i didn't say can't - i said won't

i have been homeless in canada, and i guess technically when i vacationed in the US for a couple weeks i was homeless also - i lived in a tent in the desert. sorry, buddy, the part i said orphans in china and stuff wasn't for u, i hate how people here who's lives are easy and have nothing to complain about are going around always angry and bitching about everything. i was actually trying to make u feel better

I don't think God/multiple gods/higher power/etc. micro-manages people lives. I always think its ****** when baseball players point to the sky after a home run or an athlete thanks god after a good performance. God isn't some maestro in the sky pulling strings for Bonds to hit a home run while at the same time causing four children in Iraq to be run over by a tank. I think whoever created us is just a giant slot machine with 500 different options all offering billions of different combinations based on the pull of a lever, that seems to be the only fair way to explain things. For me to be sitting on the internet, with a roof over my head and clean water available five feet from me, simply means I got a lucky pull. A third of the world lives in extreme poverty and can't eat/drink well. What makes me deserve my life and them there's? I certainly hope its not God.

If you can grasp this concept you will always be somewhat happy.

i'll be honest I'm far from rich and far from prosperous in my life and I dont believe, my mother was a sunday school teacher who believed nothing more than in god but for some reason I dont. I have told myself god and other greater beings are there for us to feel better about the fact we may one day just die and be buried in the ground to rot and take up perfectly good space. Now mind you both my parents have passed on but the fact they believed doesnt bother me nor does the fact they died to me peacefully that makes all the difference regardless of whether or not they are just rotting in the ground they had something to look forward to before dying and that was somewhere other than a dirt ditch 6 feet under the surface in which we live. When I see it I believe it, I know one day I will die and one day maybe just maybe I will go somewhere other than the ground on which we walk but till then I'm happy believing and happy I dont waste my time kneeling down praying to a higher being, because I know my actions in life will dictate my future (almost like karma).

So he is able but not willing.. which means he is malevolent because.. after all, how could someone who is all good stand in the presence of evil and let it happen?

Like Epicurus said, then why call him god?

I see a little girl about to get run over by a truck.. I could help but I chose not to. If that's not evil I dunno what is.


Also, with free will... so then you are saying we have a choice to make decisions..
That means god doesn't know what decision we are going to make. Then that would mean he isn't all knowing.. but god is all knowing right? so then if he is all knowing he knows what choices we are gonna make because he knows all... then we only have an elution of choice.. which isn't really a choice at all. It's destiny.
very contradictory...

Basically, yes.

The bible is full of this ****.

u think God is malevolent because He won't let u tell him what he should and shouldn't do? what makes u think u know what should be done better than God?

God knows what we will choose, but i think He waits just in case we change our minds. think of this, anybody that really knows u - parents, close friends, can accurately predict what u will do in certain situations
