Image123:no special pleading here. What do you mean by higher realm? Omniscient knowing everything. Omnipresent Everywhere at every time Omnipotent having unlimited power. Can god create a rock he cannot lift ? 5 Likes 1 Share |

hakeem4: Realm refers to sphere, department, class, domain, region or spectrum. Many people feel the realm of logic is the greatest or highest. You for example, will expect everything to be reasonable and logical. Unfortunately, everything is not reasonable and logical. Everything is not scientific or calculation. The laboratory is very different from real life. As much as you revere the laboratory and expect anything true or believable to be subject to it, things do not work that way. Love is what everyone seems to know or feel so let me use it as an example. Love is a reality, it is an emotion that everyone speaks well of. i guess you will agree that love is not in the class of reason or logic or commonsense? Yet many would rather choose love. It is in a similar vein that God is not in the class of logic or commonsense. Many atheists will say He needs to be in that class/realm for Him to exist. Do you say the same for love? We will both agree that love MAY agree with logic, but it does not always agree. Actually, i would argue that it does not usually agree. The take away is this, there are realities that do not operate by and are not subject to the realm/class of logic. It does not make them lesser. If you understand this little take away, you may proceed to the second. It is that God is not in the class of logic. It doesn't mean He is unreasonable or illogical, like we will not say every love or anger or emotion is illogical and unreasonable. God is not a subject of logic or reasoning. He operates above it. This is beyond most of you's class, so i do not really expect you all to catch it. The ones who are smart enough to learn will learn. Some will be too proud and quickly unlearn it. They'd perhaps mutter a few curses like children of goliath. Your definitions of the Omnis are your definition. So what is the Bible's definition? Or why do you tjink God is omni anything? Oh, the rock question. Can man create something he cannot lift? Every day. Is there a law or book or course or agreement that says God should/must lift every rock He makes? |

Image123: If your God is not expected to be understood because he's not operating in the logic and commonsense realm, how did you know the religion he wants you to practice. Obviously, there are many illogical claims in every religion. Why didn't you chose Islam? Why Christianity? 10 Likes 2 Shares |

You guys love to know some hidden things but you lack patience the only door to wisdom! When you feel like knowing what makes others around you do certain things in a strange way, the first thing is to ask questions with sincerity and be patient with the one you're questioning, adults shouldn't be doing things like kids! For instance the OP lied maliciously by fabricating the whole story of how one of Jehovah's Witnesses thought him that God is Omni this Omni that even adding a name to make his story sound real. But when i told him that's not what we teach he quickly close the case. We are humans (mortals) and all our reasoning is wrapped within the scope of a short lifespan of less than 90 years, if we want to talk about spirits (immortals) we need to reason from a broadened point of view not that of the mortals. Why does God permit suffering and crime? As mortals our short lifespan will becloud our sense of judging so for us to get to the bottom of this thought provoking question we need to reason from the perspective of the immortals! |

Plead: Why is it so hard for atheists to be sensible and logical? You and your cohorts are asking questions from your fellow humans but never willing to listen patiently in order to make meaningful comments without insulting the person you're questioning! Certainly atheists of your kind disguising as believers will surely forgo faith but you'll never succeed in getting people who will work together with you for betterment. Because rebellion is easy to influence but submission is not, while rebellious folks will never unite to benefit themselves but each promotes his/her own selfish motives, submissive folks will work together and benefit themselves! I think that is the purpose of life! |

TATIME: It's just funny as they continue agitating behind the scene instead of organizing themselves as an active group and calmly speaking with their religious neighbours on what they feel is necessary. They failed woefully to sense how purposeless their mission sounds in the ears of intellectuals! |

atheistandproud: Well again, it seems you know it all. Know this, we christians are fools for our Lord Jesus. You may be wise and tell us how this universe was made, how life was formed in you and tell us the end and the beginning of the vast the universe and beyond. God is bigger than your small tiny, minutest brain can ever fathom in a billion years. I employ you to surrender you pride and humble yourself before the God of all flesh because one thing is for sure: Someday you shall die like everyone of us and then you shall stand before this same God you so dispise and ridicule and I imagine what shall be your fate then.

Image123: Love is easily explained as an emotion supporting simple biological processes. Modern science has isolated the chemicals involved in the feelings and the programming that causes the release of these chemicals is inbuilt and a result of evolution. The word is often used for other purposes which have their own explanations. There is no external force called ‘love’ it is merely an umbrella term for some human emotions. It in no way supports the idea of God. I don’t know what the bible describes god as but I know it made so many large claims like 1) he created human 2) he created the universe. But our current understanding doesn’t support the idea of a creator 3 Likes |
