Does God Exist?

For me a big yes. As a believer may I greet everyone a very Merry Christmas and peace to all as well.

What a fitting time to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus, who's teachings are all about being good.

I do know that Atheism (disbelief or lack of belief on the existence of God) and Agnosticism (the existence of God is unknown or unknowable) are also part of humanity. I am not here to disrespect the belief or non thereof of everyone but to share mine and why I do.


I do wish that we can all share our opinions on this topic in a civil and mature way. I am lucky I live in a country that protects this right, the right to believe or not believe. In your country, do you have a choice?

Thank you all for reading and or sharing your opinions if you do.

If you have doubts, please read the two books written by1. Dr. Brian Weiss, Many Lives Many Masters; and Dr. Eben Alexander, Proof of heaven. That's if you are in search for knowledge and have an open mind..

NOTE: FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE. EXPLANATION ISN'T NEEDED AND THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE, EXPLANATION IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Yes the great stone work of churches. One of the nice aspects of old churches.wave
Swamie, if you go to Europe, specifically France and Italy, you can appreciate the grandness of the structures. The leaning tower of Pizza is just as amazing as you can get.

I will like to go to Austria just to visit them structures. The one in Mont San Michelle Abby is so unbelievable.

Westminster Abbey of England is one I can remember very well to be so beautiful.
Yes the World I lay stone from time to time. Layed blocks bricks I enjoy stone work It is like putting a puzzle together. FACEING THE STONES CUTTING THEM. grout act..I like to ravel but I have not been on a plane since I came back from Inyokern Ca. long time ago. But I would need sleeping pills or a lude.laugh
Travel Swamie is the best way to learn. At least to me, being able to see and feel all these enormous and interesting cultures, ways of life and belief is grand. Take anything to make it easier for you if you desire to go and see the world.

Leno, I have read everything that you wrote and I will not dispute any of your contention. No. What I can offer you for my own explanation is that a simple definition of belief: An acceptance that something exists or is true. While in the court of law, truth must be established to have the validity of its existence, my belief in God is different. It is personal. Yes, it is a very mind boggling question, which came first the egg or the chicken.

Now let us point this out as a little child. or even adult for that matter, is it easier for you to conceive and prove that there is nothing that starts all this? And if so how? No one has truly made this question answered with either scientific or even verbatim argument that makes sense.

For me it is easier to take out the burden of proof by simply saying and admitting to myself that yes, there has to be one who is so super intelligent out there that made it all possible.
Swamie, bar hopping. You must have had a good time. Anyways, now you live in Hawaii, Right? I am from Salt Lake, five minutes from the Airport.

"I really oppose topics when it is about the end of the world and claiming individuals are devils or specific competing religions are evil."

I know for a fact that this world as we know on this planet will end, when I am not so sure.

But check this out, if in fact this planet of ours is about billions of years old as scientists continue to investigate and get more and more enthusiastic in their compelling research to prove it is, then imagine this. We are not the first species and or the first people accounted for isn't it?

While we know, (based on our readings of documents) that there were several generations if not different civilizations of man that inhabited this place (Pyramids for instance, know found blue print on how it is built) then what happened to them>

Now it is my own personal assumption that indeed, there were many advanced Civilized world that were many times existed but because just like us now, they have attained such an incredible technology, I think with combination of both greed and power as the main cause, they vanish those civilization.

Fast forward it to our current technology, we can now, with a milisecond speed, with the latest nuke, can vanish this earth.
Leno, I am going back to bed. I will get back with you more on your last post later.wave

Thanks Leno for your insights.
Genius, you lost me there. What has that got to do with my blog?wave

But I am sure there are some however, when it is reported to the animal shelter, they get picked up right away..

Thanks for being here and welcome to the blog world. My first time to see you.cheers
Ken, I can't think of it that way. But you are welcome to elaborate if you don't mind.
I'm in the gym Leno, I'll get back with you later. Thanks wave
pictures or it didn't happen wave
u can go private as well.
i don't bite.
and wouldn't know who to blame when you bit. americans or latinas or right or left or
and the fitness can't wait, god will wait forever. such a beauty
Just the same, I prefer to type my thoughts on my computer wave
"We 'll change form. probably by science and not nature, but if we solve space travel and land on a 10 planets where we can start anew and then i'm giving us a chance. this universe has the potential of being conquered, we might be the only species that makes it, but it will cost billions of lives and resources."

Maybe both. Nature and Science had always been working side by side in discovery and progressive development. Yes we can travel other space, maybe not in my lifetime but soon. No I don't think we will only the ones that can travel on another planets. There are more evidence pointing out to the possibility of other species (aliens) from another planer. With the new telescope, scientists are discovering more planets out there that can sustain life, pretty much if not better than ours.
"The church and the god concept evolves with the humans participating. we all invent our god image"

Maybe not all, like the agnostics and the Atheists (you for instance) by definition both of these two, don't bother acknowledging the presence of God. Majority of those in religion, if not all of them, do accept (with or without evidence) that there is God.


Thanks again Leno for sharing your opinions on this matter.
There was an interesting line on Star Trek Destiny this week.

A sufficiently technologically advanced extraterrestrial would to a primitive be indistinguishable from a God.

dancing conversing
Ken, I think I can imagine how it would look from the view of a primitive man. Maybe we would even look like one to them eh?

I wish I would have met with you for a cup of coffee when I was in Richmond. How far are you from there?wave

And I am glad you are not lured to the wrong things you would have done with that Tinder woman.dance
I'm gonna tell him you said that.
Oh goody a new troll
Ooooh you brought your boyfriend

Funny how your in the deepest darkest Asian country yet your Internet and online presence is instant you must have a great network of followers wayne

cheers
Wanna play???
From what i understand you and yours must have a pretty open relationship. I guess it's a blurred line really...what's actually classed as unfaithful or not.
I'd have thought TR would have gotten partial credit for including A wall in his blog at least.

Should I be concerned that my 5 year old nephew is really into his legos.
Thought I overheard him saying: 'I build the best (lego) walls. Nobody builds em better than me. Believe me'.
Matthew 10:34 - 36
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

So sayeth HE.

I didn't get word when you went to VA. That's about 180 miles from here though. Kind of a long car ride both ways just for a cup of coffee. :)
OB oh you read that part, too, didn't you? Where he cleverly and with intent advertized his website. lol..maybe he will make a fortune doing that after all it is on so many webs...Clever I tell you.
rolling on the floor laughing
Stillwave that is one alien looking picture like on your profile. He builds the best legos. That is cool.

My grandson is having a great time building them. He got so many gifts during Christmas and into it big time. He doesn't even want to place any games on the computers anymore even as my daughter allows him few minutes when he is good in school. He is into them Legos..
Wow.
Lindsy you are an extremely literal person. It's kind of endearing .
PS. Legos are actually great.
Peace troll
Ken I fly to France for that, what is that miles is not important. I would have met with Candykid but didn't answer my calls. He then apologized for not answering and requested for me to text him but I left and I think I will be back next month.wave
