RikoduoSennin: But weren't you the one that said earlier that the dictionary "Dictionary is not an authority on religious matter..." And yet, there you were, completely contradicting yourself. A behaviour atypical of an average Christian. This is what your bible calls "hypocrisy." Bravo. |

RikoduoSennin: Goodbye!!! Good riddance. I only argue with intellectuals, people with vast knowledge that can rival mine, not ones that hide behind excuses and contradictions. |

GOD is self created! How? we will never know, only 12 people on the planet know how GOD was created and its never to be shared, GOD hid himself away from men since men were stubborn, but today! he has revealed himself, to those who understand will understand, and those who would not won't, their heart has been made strong. GOD is a reality! |

gatiano: GOD is self created! How? we will never know, only 12 people on the planet know how GOD was created and its never to be shared, GOD hid himself away from men since men were stubborn, but today! he has revealed himself, to those who understand will understand, and those who would not won't, their heart has been made strong. GOD is a reality! Let's imagine that I tell you the following story: -There is a man who lives at the North Pole. -He lives there with his wife and a bunch of elves. -During the year, he and the elves build toys. -Then, on Christmas Eve, he loads up a sack with all the toys. -He puts the sack in his sleigh. -He hitches up eight (or possibly nine) flying reindeer. -He then flies from house to house, landing on the rooftops of each one. -He gets out with his sack and climbs down the chimney. -He leaves toys for the children of the household. -He climbs back up the chimney, gets back in his sleigh, and flies to the next house. -He does this all around the world in one night. -Then he flies back to the North Pole to repeat the cycle next year. This, of course, is the story of Santa Claus. But let's say that I am an adult, and I am your friend, and I reveal to you that I believe that this story is true. I believe it with all my heart. And I try to talk about it with you and convert you to believe it as I do. What would you think of me? You would think that I am delusional, and rightly so. Why do you think that I am delusional? It is because you know that Santa is imaginary. The story is a total fairy tale. No matter how much I talk to you about Santa, you are not going to believe that Santa is real. Flying reindeer, for example, are make-believe. The dictionary defines delusion as, "A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence." That definition fits perfectly. Since you are my friend, you might try to help me realize that my belief in Santa is a delusion. The way that you would try to do that is by asking me some questions. For example, you might say to me: -"But how can the sleigh carry enough toys for everyone in the world?" (I say to you that the sleigh is magical. It has the ability to do this intrinsically). -"How does Santa get into houses and apartments that don't have chimneys?" (I say that Santa can make chimneys appear, as shown to all of us in the movie The Santa Clause). -"How does Santa get down the chimney if there's a fire in the fireplace?" (I say that Santa has a special flame- resistant suit, and it cleans itself too). -"Why doesn't the security system detect Santa?" (Santa is invisible to security systems). -"How can Santa travel fast enough to visit every child in one night?" (Santa is timeless). "How can Santa know whether every child has been bad or good?" (Santa is omniscient). "Why are the toys distributed so unevenly? Why does Santa deliver more toys to rich kids, even if they are bad, than he ever gives to poor kids?" (There is no way for us to understand the mysteries of Santa because we are mere mortals, but Santa has his reasons. For example, perhaps poor children would be unable to handle a flood of expensive electronic toys. How would they afford the batteries? So Santa spares them this burden). These are all quite logical questions that you have asked. I have answered all of them for you. I am wondering why you can't see what I see, and you are wondering how I can be so insane. Why didn't my answers satisfy you? Why do you still know that I am delusional? It is because my answers have done nothing but confirm your assessment. My answers are ridiculous. In order to answer your questions, I invented, completely out of thin air, a magical sleigh, a magical self-cleaning suit, magical chimneys, "timelessness" and magical invisibility. You don't believe my answers because you know that I am making this stuff up. The invalidating evidence is voluminous. Try, just for a moment, to look at Christianity with the same amount of healthy skepticism that you used when approaching the story of Santa, you would realize that the concept of an "All knowing being" is man's fabrication... just like Santa. 1 Like |

Jhosh: Well no one created God. I have toyed with the question. An idea I had was that if God was caused, He was caused out of nothingness. which still means no one and nothing made him. Just like the potential every human has to be rich, smart etc God's existence was simply yet to manifest. It turns out my idea wasn't new. Ancient Egyptianas believed the same of God The Book of Knowing the Creation of Re and the Overthrow of Chaos (also known as the Bremner-Rhind Papyrus) shows us the ultimate [url=https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=GQFZAQAAQBAJ&pg=PT118&lpg=PT118&dq=void+atum&source=bl&ots=DINQsCFCeg&sig=Td7h5Ie5RuKPIIAiRReyhNbObv8&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=void%20atum&f=false]click here to read more[/url] Note how the bolded is similar to the part in Genesis that states that God saw the light that it was good. It is seeing such similarities Christianity shared with many religions that made me a pantheist. I still am. 2 Likes 1 Share |

kadas01: I don't think it is blasphemous as you pointed out. Infact, it appears you are using threat and intimidation to make him accept something that he still wonders about. Be reminided that is not how to teach people; you don't put fear in people so that they just play along. Even if you succeed in intimidating Jhosh with your blasphemy charges, his unresolved questions will still linger in his mind. He can't help it. When Thomas doubted Resurrection, a very solid bringer of Salvation in Christianity, did the disciples or Jesus Himself charge Thomas with Blasphemy or Heresy? The truth is that with application of rational mind, we will never accept all religious teachings and/or beliefs. The author of Hebrew is very much aware of this fact, hence he declared in chapter 11 verser 6 NIV, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Jhosh:Your curiosity will lead you to the truth. 1 Like |
