Theists Who Hear The Voice Of God & Feel Everyone Should Believe by Nobody: 10:15pm On Apr 07, 2012 |
This person sums up what I would like to tell christians/muslims but I'm always too busy laughing or saying it in a mocking fashion. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/blog/2012/04/05/prayer-hallucination-and-date-night-with-god/ one lazy dog, on April 6th, 2012 at 5:18 am Said: [b]I don’t think it’s too surprising to hear that people see or hear their culture's specific god or gods. As an artifical construct that is specific to humankind throughout history, spirit worlds of all sorts have been conjured up for many reasons and rationales. To “know” that god speaks to one as an individual is no doubt emotionally comforting, but what about the many others across all societies and history who have similarly known that their god or gods speak also to them. Are we saying that they are wrong and delusional, but we are right? A belief in some sort of spiritual life is all well and good, but one should not be upset that such a thing does not stand up to an objective and scientific analysis. There is a reason why miracles of the church have disappeared with the appearance of the age of reason. I would advise the devout to be content with their inner spirituality, but be cautious in demanding that others follow your own beliefs. What each of us “know” is very much our own.[/b] *edited |

Some people think they are Jesus, others Napoleon. Others hear voices. At best, its a delusion. At the worst, a mental illness and can prove dangerous to others. |

There is some good (feel-good) value behind believing in God(s) and at the heart of it is a Rich (sometimes) Personal Experience that is often pushed out as Strong public opinions that often clashes with other people's Personal Experience of God. One thing I often find odd with your average Christian is that Jesus appeals to each person's particular weaknesses, If one fornicates - his personal Jesus is lenient, if another is not a fornicator, his Personal Jesus is a harsh task-master I'd expect a single version of Jesus |

Martian: This person sums up what I would like to tell christians/muslims but I'm always too busy laughing or saying it in a mocking fashion. all this voice hearing stuff is not universal to religious people today. Why the voice? From who? How do you verify the claim of whose voice it is if any? Not when majority of extortioners claim to hear from God, so, if they did, what God was that going by there actions and life style? Action speaks louder than voice or claims of voice. "By there fruit you shall know them" |
