God would have made a much less cruel world than this one; if he was filled with "love" (as so many here claim).....
Do your research, LCBR. He did.
The real problem, as I see it, is that God has imbued "itself" into the American Psyche. Obviously, this goes back to the Founding Fathers, and the Mayflower. Since many people refuse to think for themselves, then there God remains (almost as a squatting tenant, in an otherwise empty house). It used to take a brave person to be an atheist in America; and in some ways, it takes a brave person, still....

LCBR, you said "The real problem, as I see it, is that God has imbued "itself" into the American Psyche. Obviously, this goes back to the Founding Fathers, and the Mayflower. Since many people refuse to think for themselves, then there God remains (almost as a squatting tenant, in an otherwise empty house)". However, believing in God is not a problem for those who choose to believe. And are you equally condescending and dismissive of non-Americans believers? Obviously God remains in the hearts of those who seek to live and love on a higher level than that which the natural self is capable of reaching.
Everything comes from within the self. All perceptions arise from it. Religious people may get upset by "rudeness" and "condescension" from non-believers; however more annoying still is the treatment Atheists (and other religions) mostly get from Christians; that is to say, other religions are missguided in their beliefs. Worst of all is the old routine that: Atheists are "poor souls who need saving" not intelligent people who have actively decided that there is no God (or certainly not one who is present in our Solar System)...
You make interesting points, yet (1) I didn't ask you if you thought you were being rude, and (2) I didn't make mention of your choices at all. I cannot subscribe to the concept of free will and condemn you for your choices. That's not what true Christians or spiritually evolved people do.

I asked you what you thought about non-American believers, as devout Chrstians and Catholics exist in every corner of the world.
I think that they are the ones who are "misguided" All "Mainstream God" is today, is a money-making machine that supports Corrupt Church Elites; who (as an Entity) pay No Tax. This (to my way of thinking) borders on the Criminal, and is a Wholesale Deception of the Gullible People, who make up church congregations, the world over - NOT just Americans...
Well k ann I think if you look at the recent history of the debates on here that it's the other way around. Believers are condescending and often rude towards non believers.

(before I get "ambushed" for speaking the truth)....
More on this Ridiculous Nonsense:

And back to the Distinctly Unsavoury....

To get it straight from the Bible
without others' interpretation or
perceptions or biases- I hope
someone can recommend the
printed version they prefer.

@K_Ann_70,

The Bible says that at around seven years old a child is mature enough,
spiritually, to choose whether or not he (or she) wants to continue to exist in a natural state (as a non-believer)
or evolve to a higher spiritual level (one who worships God). scold

Can you tell me where this is stated in the Bible?


confused
thank you Dan_77 all one can do is tell you some thing. you can not force any one to believe or not believe. we each have to find the right path as long as that path is right path.
stringman, maybe you could give some lessons on how to write a blog, for some of the others, on here.......professor
I think that you might have "leftist" and "Athiest" mixed up here...dunno
Nope.
There are right-wing Athiests, you know....professor
Are you claiming to be a conservative?
Not especially, just stating a fact.....professor
Really?
Don't bother trying to answer, it'll just be more leftist blather and I'm already bored with you.
Arrogance could be a reason-if they think they created their higher intelligence and are above everyone especially God why haven't these
self-made god(s) solved all the world's problems.What are they waiting for,
God to take directions from them.
When they rub their magick lamp (light)
they are not protected from what they
wished for nor is it done in a loving manner.
Corrupt or counterfeit light is discernible
by those not seeking power or entitlement.


To believe in God IS an act of humility.
God does not acquiesce or need your
limited scope.He expects mature,humble
and wise people to find Him daunting and
perform the tasks He commands.
Arrogance is foolishness.


The Passion Translation:Psalm 94:3-5

Listen to them bragging among themselves, big in their own eyes, all because of the crimes they’ve committed against your people! See how they’re crushing those who love you, God, cruelly oppressing those who belong to you.
Bigjb,
You sure are anti free speech. By the way how's the search for a wife who will 'submit' to you going?banana
Mr. Bigjob,

Atheism is a belief system, not "leftist blather". Please get your terminology correct..professor
By which I mean "lack of belief"is also a "belief"....
Get this straight "Atheism" is a death sentence.
We are all going to die, mate. The difference is, I don't go around kidding myself about it, like you,,,,
If you want a religious concept, that is worth thinking about, consider the idea of reincarnation (and the best part is, no "God" is required)......
I have to say I'm an "Agnostic" (where reincarnation is concerned) - but how else do you explain precocious talents in children?......
Mozart, for example?
Life is a death sentence and death is only the beginning. It's the only way for the human species to freely develop. So long as powerful men die liberty will never perish. Because of mortality the human species triumphs over the forces of corruption.
It's basically because 60 is the new 40 and all those other foolish and disgusting lies we are told about. The healing power of crystal skulls overtaking the knowledge that you were born.
the unbelievers want proof of GOD. His promise to his followers that HE will return to earth, to take all who believe in him and save the world from mans destruction of all human life. HE will rule the new world as king of king. by the way this earth will no longer exist.
