According to that web page, even magic can't solve this problem.

Unforgivable does not exit... | #2 | ||
|
Go to a parking garage or the highest building in your area. STAND on the roof. Look straight out and closely observe your area, your surroundings. Take a moment to compare yourself to your visual area. Notice how small you are compared to the size of your surroundings. The world is HUGE!!! And there another 6 billion more souls like you out there! With there own personalities, there own opinions, and there own customs. How do you think they got that astronomical uniqueness? Again the earth around is even better then what you can see if you was in the sky, it would appear GIGANTIC in your sight your mind would blow! So you still think that GOD would place all that energy into sooooo much even the Atoms that make up you, the entire world and all the air in it! and be able to control even the quarks that make up the atom then all at the same time memorize, JUDGE, and understand every animal, insect, & the 6 billion different types of personalities in the entire world every 24/7/365 cycle that occurred since the beginning would actually want us to be placed all to burn because we failed to understand something that was to say I believe that GOD IS real then to think that GOD would burn us. FOR WHAT??? WHY???? Because we lacked enough evidence of his love and only had enough to convince us that he would never forgive us or to be convinced that GOD didnt exist. Something in your head has to sound logical enough to have a believable conclusion about something you think you understand. People are only comfortable with what they know and nervous of what they dont know. Something convinces people to think what ever about GOD and be comfortable about it. WHY is that??!!! Its about there conclusive knowledge of the particular subject. In other words "Hey thats enough information for me not to ask any further questions or information about it and I believe what I know with the information I do know, I have my UNDERSTANDING about it" Again in other words, "Obviously 2+2=4 because I know what those values are and I know what they equal to so I believe that mathematical equation is correct. I am comfortable with that answer because I know its right. So think again when you assume something you THINK you know about. But I KNOW!! That GOD IS LOVE!! And he wouldnt!! Wouldnt burn SOULS that he created woven out of light. THE DEVIL IS A LIER!! He will use any form of LOGIC or PHILOSOPHY to prove that GOD isnt what he seems to be. GOD IS THE JUST, THE BEGINNING & END AND THE LAW THAT MAKES THE BEGINNING & END AS A CAUSE FROM A PROPER REASON. An OMNIPOTENT SPIRIT OF LOVE AND GRATITUDE OF HIS WONDERFUL ART OF EXPRESSION, HIS POETIC ARTISTRY OF EVERYTHING BEYOND OF WHAT I AM ABLE TO SAY IN WORDS, THINGS THAT ARE FAVORABLE IN HIS SIGHT & OF HIS IMAGE. SPIRIT IN POWER, POWER INTO ENERGY, ENERGY INTO MATTER, MATTER INTO ART OF WHAT WE CAN SEE, FEEL, EXSPRESS, SMELL, BREATHE, & TASTE. You all think about that..... As a living breathing conscious of self knowledgeable awareness in which GOD has been able to bless me with, I am able to know the truth & am aware of the creator and the LOVE he has for me. I pray for the people that doesnt understand what that FEELS like, know, & understand. If you could you would know and understand that GOD has you claimed already because he loves you. |

Quote:It's actually quite small compared to the sun and Jupiter. It only seems huge to you because you are much smaller than it. Quote:Personally, I don't believe there is a god, but if there were, why would he need to "create" billions of lesser beings? What's the point? Is he generating an army for conquering enemy gods? Quote:Many different possible combinations of genetic material, perhaps. How do you think they got it? Quote:It's "better"? I don't understand. By the way, you need to work on your grammer and sentence structure. Those are actually separate sentences that should be separated by a period. And, it's "if you were..." Quote:Yeah, that does seem silly doesn't it. I ask Christians this all the time. Why does god create billions of people only to end up having to send most of them to etrrnal torture simply because they decided they didn't want to spend their lives telling him how wonderful he is, especially since he supposedly designed us and KNOWS that we will make this choice. The hell story is silly. But, it is in the bible, so I can understand why Christians believe it. But, since I don't trust the bible, I think the hell story is bogus. Quote:Absolutely. However, many Christians maintain beliefs that make no sense to them because they believe that they will be punished if they don't, and that they don't make sense to them only because they aren't smart enough to get the ideas. And they call those of us who don't believe things that don't make sense to us out of fear "arrogant" and "fools." Silly, huh? Quote:It seems to me that people choose to believe things that make them confortable. If they weren't comfortable, they would toss the belief. And there are so many different personalities, as you mentioned, so there are lots of different god beliefs. Quote:It's "their". But there is a difference. Christians believe in god even though they cannot prove god exists. We can prove that 2+2 = 4. Christians invoke "faith" regarding their beliefs, which proves they have no proof, where faith is unecessary in mathematical calulations. Quote:Whoa! Slow down there partner! Are you just believing that god is love because that makes you comfortable? I have seen no reason to believe there is a god, let alone that he "is love", whatever that means. Most people who call themselves Christians believe that god sends people to eternal torment. They claim to have heard this from the Holy Spirit himself. Are you saying that the Holy Spirit is lying to them? Are you saying they are deluded? You just got done going on about how people believe what hey want. Then you say you KNOW that god is love. Can you demonstrate how you know this? Until you do, you appear to be acting just like the people who believe that god will torment people for all eternity. Quote:Souls woven out of light? What are you talking about? Quote:It's "liar". Is the Holy Spirit the devil? Can you demonstrate that this devil exists? Until you do, you appear to be acting just like the people who believe that god will torment people for all eternity. Quote:Why all caps here? Are you deliberately trying to be annoying? And where do you get these ideas from? Can you prove any of this? Until you do, you appear to be acting just like the people who believe that god will torment people for all eternity. Quote:Perhaps you're just confused. Perhaps you have simpy fallen for a very attractive false belief system. Start demonstrating how you know you're correct, or we will view you as no different that every other believer who comes on this board making bizarre claims they cannot prove. Let's see. What is more likely: that you have a very special IN to some invisible super being that very few people have, even though this super being apparently loves us all equally, OR that you is just another god nut creating a magical universe in his mind just like all the believers you are chastising in your post? Hmmm... Well, until you show some kind of proof, or your invisible friend decides to bless us all with this magical insight, we will withhold acceptance of your claims.

Sorry, I just found that to be funny, for some reason.
Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools. -- Phillip Johnson, criminal law professor and leader of the Intelligent Design movement |

It's not a misspelling, it's a translation error.

Quote:And yet, how big i am compared to an ant living in a speck of dust collected in a corner of the parking lot roof. Should i promise the ants to protect them if they propitiate me? What could an ant offer me, though? Sorting a jumble of seeds into individual piles doesn't come up as a requirement nearly as often as one might think. Maybe they should just love me, for i am unimagineably huge to them. Would that be enough for me? I'd have to believe them, Ants just don't have enoughguile to fool me. I would be magnanimous to the ones that love me, dropping slices of banana down on the Faithful, but punishing the apostate with a cup of water, to flood their tunnels and drown the blasphemous. Or.... I could just get in my car and go share a life with other godlike giants of my own scale and never even remember any promises made to that ant pile. |

I'm thinking of making this another one of my social causes. Right after I get around to creating "The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Punctuation!!!!!!!!11".
Quote: If he's logically and philosopically proven that God isn't what he seems to be, then he's not a "lier", is he? Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, . . . and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn." - St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim" ***NOTE: All references to any God, gods, or other metaphysical concepts are hypothetical in nature and do not imply belief in said deities unless specifically indicated.
