For those of you who say that there is no God! (302)
mariespoodles: Hey conjor
My perception of the word "God" is, it is a name used by humans all over the world to describe a power bigger than ourselves that we are unable to see, yet still feel it exists. Whether we're church goers or not, we all have the free will to have our own interpretation of what and who God is without judging others or being judged by others (this is what i think causes all the power struggles - the - "I'm right-you're wrong attitude).
My own understanding and belief is that "God" is pure positive energy and "Satan" is pure negative energy. We learn this concept on a physical level when introduced to the forever popular science experiment involving magnets and how magnetic fields function as part of our early science education.
On an emotional level, I use the concept of negative and positive to cope with life experiences. This helps me to make sense of it all and puts things back into perspective. I've often heard people say in times of crisis "if there is a God then why is he doing this" and i always respond by saying "I don't believe this crisis comes from a positive source but I've certainly used positive energy in my thinking to get me through it and it's made me stronger.
In a nut shell i believe "God" to be - Love, Compassion, Empathy, Kindness, Joy, Strength, Laughter, Nurture and all things positive and "Satan" to be - Fear, Jealous, Cruel,Intimidating, Apathetic, Sad, Weak, Destructive and all things negative.
Unfortunately (just look at nature) you can't have one without the other, and our challenge is to steer clear of the pitfalls by understanding the dark so we can work more productively with the light.
At the end of the day it all boils down to choice and each and every one of us has the free will to decide what we believe and how it is interpreted...

RayfromUSA: If that doesn't happen, skepticism degenerates into cynicism.
And yet, it has been said that a 'cynic' is what an idealist labels a realist.

wulfen: Believing in god or not has no influence on whether you committ murder. Are you implying that I as an atheist (and atheists like me) would not think twice about committing murder and not consider it wrong?
On the other hand, how do you explain committed by believers throughout history because of religion?
Why do you think one man could explain what another man does because of religion or because "my daddy beat me"..... excuses....get over itOn the other hand, how do you explain committed by believers throughout history because of religion?

Hi Mindful
I remember reading it some ancient Greek text, but for the life of me I can't remember who said it. Certainly not Diogenes
Thanks for the photo comment.

mindfful: regardless of your motive you are in disobedience
and the road to hell is paved with good intention
and since you dont have the good intention to convert then you must have an intention to argue and prove or convince
he does not ask your help in this
that is the job of the holy spirit as called on by any man
these people calling on you to prove something is not to be answered as its not your job
not in an environment of argument
so tell me- are you practicing submission and wisdom
or are you being prideful and foolish being drawn in to argument
thusly muddying the water and causing unbelievers to dig in and even further resist?
you can only teach the blessing of being submitted to him by living in submission to him
this is edification. that is our job. to each other.
you can not edify one who does not believe so now you are exercising your free will- to say you love him but to openly disobey him and justify your behavior.
so will you be chastised? will you be corrected by your father?
indeed so if you believe his word.
his chastisement, as that of a parent is for us- not the unbeliever.
and you continue....I ask for wisdom and believe Conjors motives are pure but like myself lack the words...and then there's really nice guyand the road to hell is paved with good intention

My hope is for all to find their way....does'nt mean it has to be my way...

conjor: My prediction is that every one of you who say there is no God will one day in the near future (kneel before A God)even if you do not think he is'You shall kneel before him) And please do not take my words out of there proper context) I said that you shall kneel before A God! I did not say that you would kneel before God;Is there any one out there with wisdom??????
Amen; Everybody has its own belief and wisdom no matter what religion they are, I believe in only one God the creator of heaven and earth and of exist and unseen.

you are and you will shout or be passive aggressive or coy or a martyr or anything you must be to get to the point youre trying to get to
im not trying to be superior
its never been a question of superior except by you and your inflammatory posts
which got some appropriate responses
and now you have set a new tack to use me as fodder
frankly bud youre just not that smart
smart enuf to conjure an argument
and i suppose thats a goal
we all create what we desire dont we? yours has been to be a center of attention
you have indeed succeeded again
its a skill i guess and it may serve you well but it aint serving god
which i misunderstood as your intent.
no harm no foul rock on
