I thought that was a rhetorical question, meant to explain your point?
How do I know the tooth fairy isn't real? Because one night after loosing a tooth my mother forgot to put a coin under my pillow and then admitted that she was the tooth fairy. I don't recall being very upset about it as finding a quarter or dime under my pillow was not a very significant event in my life. Nor was the mythical santa, although I love Christmas now even more than when I was a child.
Mythical figures can be fun when we are young, but God is not a myth. He's as real as the air that we breathe.
"Well, please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought this blog was about "near death experiences", whether we believe in it or not, and not about a God/god that nobody has any proof of its existence?"
Comments on blogs quite often stray from the original blog topic. I think this one has stayed remarkably close to the blog topic.
"I dont know exactly why people believe what is so obviously made up,most of what I have observed seems to point to a need to avoid taking responsibility for our own lives and actions."
What if I were to say the opposite, that to my experience, those who deny God the loudest are those who wish to live their lives with impunity, doing as they wish, no matter how harmful their actions are to others? Because this IS my experience. Those who I see taking more responsibility for their actions are those who know they will have to account for their actions when they meet their maker.
If your argument is the truth because it is your observation, then my argument is the truth because it is my observation. And if that is the case, then that means that truth is dependent on our perception and, therefore, differs from one person to another. Is that what you believe?
Honestly tho, I suspect Mr Alcmaeon is putting us on. People don't typically spell in such a phonetic fashion. It just takes too much effort to do so. Curious minds still wanna know.
The definition of love as described in 1 Corinthians is not something that any of us will be able to replicate with perfection in this lifetime. However, it is the ultimate example of love and one that we can strive to achieve.
