dalaman:Or at least tell us the process by which it was created. |
winner01:I too have not seen a Honda Accord created. But I can find out if it was, how it was, where it was, and who created it, easily. I can, if I am so concerned, even go watch a Honda Accord created by a creator, from scratch. There does not seem to exist, the evidence for the creator you mention though, or that everything that exists was created. |
winner01:Listen to what others are saying a bit. True, anything that is created requires a creator. It's not yet agreed that everything that exists is created by a creator. Work with dalaman to flesh this understanding out please. |
winner01:So, in the process of a rock forming, would you say, what caused the formation of the rock is the creator? |
Anas09:Lol my dear. I love you! |
winner01:How do you determine what a "Creator" is? |
winner01:No I have not seen "creation" without a "creator". But I have seen things that exist without a creator. And I repeat, a rock. I see a rock exists, but I cannot honestly say I saw a creator creating rocks. And its process of formation does not include a creator. It would even be dishonest to call a rock, a creation of a creator as rock formation does not require such an external agent to occur. In effect, I have seen things in existence that have not been created by a creator. A rock. |
winner01:Are they formed by a creator? |
winner01:Snow has a creator? Little beings working in a factory in the sky dropping small drops of ice cold water perhaps? |
winner01:Yes, a common stone! |
[quote author=wwwtortoise post=67518427]Seun caused all these; the incessant ridicule on Christianity.[/quote]No he didn't! Some so called 'Christians thought' must be ridiculed so that those following them are reduced! Jesus did to the Pharisees as they deserved! |
Anas09:That's not true Anas, I do not call you potty mouth because you object to certain behaviours. If you object to stealing, or homosexuals, for example, who has the right to tell you not to? I don't even call you pm because you are personal per se. I call you pm when you lose focus and resort to attacking and insulting others and derailing threads, and essentially, not doing some of those things and other things one ought to do but which are not listed in that Psalm. I read where you prayed to be cured and recently sent you to threads where potty mouth behaviour was being exhibited so you may understand that no juju is as powerful as love. |
winner01:Historically, any person who did not believe in any deity supported by the state was fair game to accusations of atheism, a capital crime. For political reasons, Socrates in Athens (399 BCE) was accused of being atheos ("refusing to acknowledge the gods recognized by the state" .Christians in Rome were also considered subversive to the state religion and persecuted as atheists. Thus, charges of atheism, meaning the subversion of religion, were often used similarly to charges of heresy and impiety as a political tool to eliminate enemies. Wiki An Atheista ; one who rejected the gods worshipped by the wider society. ath'-eh-os Adjective without God, knowing and worshipping no God denying the gods, esp. the recognised gods of the state “[R]emember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God [atheoi] in the world” (Eph 2:12). In describing them in their pre- Christian life as atheoi (“without God”) The fools are not limited to those who openly state, “ There is no God”; the y include those who profess belief in God but live as though he does not exist. The Only “Atheists” in the Bible |
HappyPagan:Really? Even if my ram is removed and the tale is different, you'd still call me buda! You'd even call me buda when I'm dead and cremated. HappyPagan:Yep, I may not be the self today that I was yesterday, but I am still myself, constantly changing and adapting, just a day more evolved. HappyPagan:Putting thoughts into words is an art. Just when you've mastered it, your thoughts get more complex so you might see the need to keep honing your skill and playing catch up. Personally, I think you're doing pretty well. The fact that the self is formed and moulded alone implies that it is way more than illusory, don't you think? The self is not an illusion. And it should not hold on to the past! That would be like asking myself today to do as myself of three years ago did. Three years ago, for reference, I'd walk miles, but these days, I ride to the shop just around the corner. You can imagine how my 2 hour sessions might have sadly become 15 minutes, at a stretch. Oh, when I was a child! Now, I have had to put the childish things aside to face the survival struggles of the moment, just as one should. |
plaetton:Louis Pasteur stood on the shoulders of those who went before him. And you think too highly of the humans who lived in Christ's time. Humanity got clean when he told them to clean up and humanity was not the same after. You just imagine what "be clean" would do to humans in Lagos. Malaria and typhoid, probably the two greatest killers of Nigerians, would instantly dissappear. Love the lol by the way. |
dalaman:Healed? Many. Stick a wheelchair under a double leg amputee and watch em 'walk'. And 'Jesus'? Yep, Jesus as knowledge and wisdom don it. But I guess when you say "Jesus", you mean the individual understood by most and not the one I mean. |
plaetton:He did not forget to tell people these diseases were caused by germs! He taught that lesson with the phrase, “[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+5%3A13&version=NIV]Be clean![/url]” |
Primesky:Unfortunately, no one mentions the "name of Jesus Christ" these days or you'd have seen knees bowing. |
dalaman:I disagree. Jesus did not lie. Or rather, what is written about Jesus doings is not a lie. Humans are doing so much more than he is written to have done, including, raising the dead, feeding millions with tiny resources, and healing the amputee! |
dalaman:Quite a lot of straw in your writeup Dalaman, all premised on your idea and expectations of Gods. I so wish you had asked "why human beings are so powerless that we need gods to fill the gaps in our ignorance". Was watching Louis Theroux's My Scientology last night. Ron Hubbard literally created a god for people to bow down and worship. What better shows the incredible ability that human beings have than god creation? The only greater feat would be to create a universe, though I suppose creating a place in which to place that universe would be even greater. However, and still, how amazingly much more powerful we humans must be if we can create gods that can create a universe and a place in which to put it. The pity is we create them in our own most narrow puny image. It is not gods that have become powerless, Dalaman. It is we humans that have become so much more powerful that we have stopped needing to write new fantastic stories about our gods. But in a jug halve empty kind of way, one could say humans' have just become powerless and incapable to write better modern day myths, or, perhaps understood that the word is the beginning, and that we can write things with them and be better off for it. Depending where one stands whilst looking. Gods never existed or had any power. It was the powerlessness of humans that made us create gods and assign everything to them in a "we are not worthy to go up the mountain and look our gods in the face" kind of way. You however, are a fleshy testimony to the new improved human, and that hope exists for the rest of us. |
vchykp:Fly more. |
Peacefullove:Is Jesus still human? |
Peacefullove:Are you perhaps reading a literal meaning into the above? I doubt it is meant to be taken literally. |
Psalm 15 Living Bible (TLB) 1 Lord, who may go and find refuge and shelter in your tabernacle up on your holy hill? 2 Anyone who leads a blameless life and is truly sincere. 3 Anyone who refuses to slander others, does not listen to gossip, never harms his neighbor, 4 speaks out against sin, criticizes those committing it, commends the faithful followers of the Lord, keeps a promise even if it ruins him, 5 does not crush his debtors with high interest rates, and refuses to testify against the innocent despite the bribes offered him—such a man shall stand firm forever. |
HappyPagan:My brain is a part of a whole. Just as my hand is not me nor my eyes and heart me, so too is my brain not me. Myself, is me. It comprises my brain, my leg, my nose etc, and my aura, as in me as perceived by others, or my spirit, as in that of me which I project. Myself is not an illusion. You are not conversing with a bot! Myself exists in me. Now, your turn. Is self, an illusion? |
Peacefullove:Where were his scars? |
Try a crowdfunding site. You might get accommodating responses. |
Bethankful:You asked us to imagine, so I imagined. I even gave you my credentials to show my level, but you call me 'hot', and 'don't understand'? Goodluck. |

FannySwindler1:Define, "good life". |
FannySwindler1:So, you sorted. Why do you want children? |
