So you'd say you're embarrassed?

Dulcet7:

The Buddha likened some religious questions to a man shot with an arrow who looks around[b] to see who shot him[/b], then said the man will die with his injury as he is asking the not-so-important question instead of just treating himself.

InesQor:

As I said recently,

"Even Satan is surely serving a purpose. Manufacturing calls it Quality Assurance and Control. He is being rebellious to God, but meanwhile God is using him to achieve useful ends anyway. God does as he pleases, He is the artist and dictates what the artwork is."

wordtalk:

Well, people should be very careful in drawing analogies. I don't see the correllation between rebellion and 'quality assurance and control' - for why then should the other be punished for providing the quality assurance in order to serve "useful ends"?

Let's just be careful - not all quips and quotes make good sense. It's just like one that says 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me' - and you begin to wonder why many people react violently for a few words spoken to them.

You're embarrassed. Good! At last we have something in common. i'd also be embarrassed if i was found lying and unable to defend my false accusations. Again, kindly quote
where i said that God
created sickness, or that
God did not create
sickness. Do that or keep mute and move to another point.

You should do what I asked or keep mute and move to another point. i can imagine your embarrassment sha. Next time, don't lie, just stick to the 'syllabus'.

Evil Brain:

The God of the old testament either doesn't exist or is pure evil and unworthy of worship. I don't believe in the supernatural myself, but reading the old testament has made feel some sympathy for Lucifer the fallen angel. Sure, the guy rebelled, but can you blame him? If I was an angel, I would have done the same thing, probably right after "the merciful god" ordered the massacre of the Egyptian firstborns (Forget it, I'm not killing a bunch of babies for you, Lord. Go and do it yourself you sick f;uck!)

Rebellion is the only rational response to a tyrant. Ask Ghaddafi.

But how can you understand the bible from a spiritual perspective and hence in the right context , when you are void of the Spirit of GOD

You will just end up aggravating yourself and getting all worked up.

Humble yourself and be ye saved and believe.

Then you shall begin to understand great truths.

thehomer:

It is now clear to me that you have no idea of what you're trying to talk about. My simple question to you is this, do you consider sickness to be evil? You really need to stop embarrassing yourself this way. That is what makes me feel embarrassed for you since you appear to lack the insight to feel it.

It wasn't your question but your conclusion that i said God created sickness. You deserve to be embarrassed.

mazaje:

Another lie the deluded tell themselves so that they can sleep at night while believing and holding unto the lies of men that stated that the creator or the universe can be seen hiding in the clouds if only a high tower can be built to reach the clouds. . . . . . .There is NOTHING like spiritual perspective, believe first and the stories and mythology will make sense is what you are saying. . . .By the way the many divisions in the christian body shows that the spiritual perceptive is an urban legend since many sincere believers always disagree in many spiritual matters and interpretation of the bible. . .Evert religion uses that as an excuse after all. . .


Evil exist because it does it has nothing to do with any imaginary God. . . .

Evil Brain:

You basically just admitted that the bible doesn't make sense unless you approach it with preconceived ideas. I can't really argue with you there.

Christians, Muslims and followers of almost every other major religion all make the same claim when they are confronted with the inconsistencies and logical dead ends in their religious texts. It's either "you need the Holy spirit to guide you before you can understand" or "you need to read the Koran in arabic to understand" or "you need to learn 6th century arabic to understand".

I'm tired of people claiming to have some kind of special revelation that is beyond mere mortals like myself. Personally, I prefer the simple explanation: It doesn't make sense, period!

I am not one to get involved in aimless debates, but from my perspective ANYONE who reflects on this beautiful earth and the glory of it's features , but still does not believe in a GOD , while hypocritically attributing all the ills of society to him, is a FOOL !! a Really big FOOL !! No insult intended just plain fact.

As simple as that.

You can argue forever, if that makes you proud that you sound so clever.

But I am telling you right now that demons are laughing their heads off at your sheer ignorance of the existence of GOD , for even they believe and tremble !!!

And if you go through life with this attitude (I hope not and God forbid ) , those same demons that deceived you , will be there to gladly receive your soul after death , and toss you into the pit of eternal punishment.

Then you will believe in GOD but alas your folly will be too late for correction !!!

Think about it .
