What makes you think ?

[Minor Axis]

Where have I pretended to understand any of this?
Although YOU say God is capable of micromanaging events.

Ok you don't understand, you just preach it.

You can only imagine many things.

What do you know vs imagine?

Where did I tell you about God's rules specifically? I may have mentioned one or two but you act as though I have been preaching to you from the Holy Bible! I have only asked you questions for which you really have no answer and this bothers you.

My suggestion is that you take a little less time patting yourself on the back as an intellectual. Keep saying it all you want, I am not bothered by not having answers. In contrast apparently you create your own answers to sooth your soul. It is fair to question.

Maybe one could say you are putting your "faith" in science? Good luck.

You are confusing the issue. The problem is not science. The problem are those people who allow their faith to disregard or invalidate science.

How do you know if I search or not? Maybe my questions are nothing more that to try and understand where Agnostics and Atheists are coming from but you seem to be a neurotic bunch. Someone asks questions and you seem to immediately start bashing the bible and those who believe in it. If I were undecided myself I would have to say Christianity is looking pretty good right now. You guys are just too darned angry.

Neurotic? Angry? So now your are trying to apply a term that equates to mental disorder to a group of people who disagrees with you? Priceless. Stop using this as an attempt to reinforce your position. You are mistaken. And I only bash the Bible when people such as yourself sell it as a source of truth. Religious freedom allow me to do this.

So what? How does an athlete praying really affect you? I still don't understand why this offends you so.

And you probably never will. Reinforcement for your benefit: I am not offended. Even if you disagree, you can't understand what I've all ready said about this? If you insist upon calling those who disagree with you neurotic and angry, (you forgot "lost") there is no point in continuing a conversation with you. I pray you find your way... :horse

This is false.

What do you know vs imagine?

What does anyone know for sure? How much evidence is required to prove anything?

My suggestion is that you take a little less time patting yourself on the back as an intellectual. Keep saying it all you want, I am not bothered by not having answers. In contrast apparently you create your own answers to sooth your soul. It is fair to question.

When you question it is fair but when I question I am "patting myself on the back" as an intellectual. Hilarious! hahaha!

How can science be invalidated? It is what it is.

Neurotic is a synonym for nervous. I didn't know "angry" was equated to a mental disorder.

I'm sure you probably take every opportunity you can to bash the bible and Christianity. You don't seem to bash Hindus, Buddhists or other beliefs so you clearly have a problem with Christianity.

But you definitely have a problem with it. If you are so content with what you have chosen why do you have such a problem with what others choose?

Ah yes, the "beating a dead horse"emoticon: The "white flag" of internet forums.

When you question it is fair but when I question I am "patting myself on the back" as an intellectual. Hilarious! hahaha!

You have gone beyond questioning, you are consistently accusing me of being angry, disturbed because I don't have the same answers as you, and of being neurotic, a psychological disorder. You are the one acting in a hostile manner.

How can science be invalidated? It is what it is.

Ok so you don't wish to deal with the question of religious people who invalidate science because of the their religious beliefs. A convenient method to avoid the topic.

Neurotic is a synonym for nervous. I didn't know "angry" was equated to a mental disorder.

Look it up. It's a mental and emotional disorder.

I'm sure you probably take every opportunity you can to bash the bible and Christianity. You don't seem to bash Hindus, Buddhists or other beliefs so you clearly have a problem with Christianity.

You've not been around here very long. When those of other religious beliefs sell their faith they get met with the same kind of skepticism in this forum.

But you definitely have a problem with it. If you are so content with what you have chosen why do you have such a problem with what others choose? Ah yes, the "beating a dead horse"emoticon: The "white flag" of internet forums.

There you go again. Repeat yourself a 100 times if that will help. And yes I am done beating this dead horse of a conversation, at least with you. <-see happy.

Where did I use the word "disturbed"? I used neurotic as a synonym for nervous and I do believe there is anger here. How can that be hostile? It is mere observation on my part. But how can you accuse me of being hostile without absolute proof? Doesn't that violate the spirit of your "dogma"? Have you created your own fiction to explain things the way you wish?

Ok so you don't wish to deal with the question of religious people who invalidate science because of the their religious beliefs. A convenient method to avoid the topic.

Where did I say I didn't want to deal with a question. I only asked a simple question to a statement you made can't you answer it? You are the one avoiding the topic.

Look it up. It's a mental and emotional disorder.

Neurotic is also a synonym for nervous....look it up.

You've not been around here very long. When those of other religious beliefs sell their faith they get met with the same kind of skepticism in this forum.

What beliefs am I trying to sell?

There you go again. Repeat yourself a 100 times if that will help. And yes I am done beating this dead horse of a conversation, at least with you. <-see happy.

The second surrender...that's just sad.

There I go again? With what? Or could you be creating your own fiction and making excuses for what you parrot.

It makes me think why someone would make false statements just so they can leave a thread.

So obtuse when it's convenient. Nice approach for denial.

I'd like to hear what it makes you think?

Denial? You say this because I asked a question. You can't explain it or what?

 

[Minor Axis]

Denial? You say this because I asked a question. You can't explain it or what?

You asked a question that I all ready gave the answer for. That is why I called you obtuse. Take care.

Take care? Yet another Swan Song. So many departures and yet you keep resurrecting yourself to post....are you sure you don't believe in Jesus?

....are you sure you don't believe in Jesus?

And you think you adequately defended your position- Repeatedly making the same assertions and asking the same questions over and over? Cya.

Golly gee Minor Axis it took you that long to come up with that one? hahaha! You've come out of retirement more times than Brett Favre!

There you go making assumptions again. Go ahead, say it "what assumptions?" Au Revoir. :waving:

Redliner, sorry for participating in the wrecking of your thread. I'll wait for a significantly stupid comment before re-engaging...

 

[mhiky]

The reason why there’s universe and human and other wonders that even science can’t clarify is enough.:trustme

Yeah, let us know when you think of another one!:24:

But then, there was a time when science didn't know about gravity, or neutrons, or black holes. Just because we don't know about something right now hardly rules out the possibility that we might one day discover more.

I'm on the side of 'we can't possibly say for definite either way'. I think it's incredibly arrogant to presume knowledge, when there's so much about our world that we're only just finding out.

I agree provided we continue to search for answers. That's why I don't like the "God did it" declaration. It explains nothing and at the same time squelches curiosity. Curiosity is one of the things that makes our species great.
