Sorry, to a thinking person, there is more than ample prove God exists. And if He is such a fairytale, read His word. After all isn't it a fairytale? Try just reading it as you would a fairytale. I suggest the NIV or the NASB (NAS).
Actually I am quite happy about where I am and who I am, thank you.
Just because you have numbed your conscience towards your short-comings means nothing about not having guilt. Charles Manson would even echo your very words. But I guess you are the only human in history that is perfect without any flaws...btw, before you respond, short-comings are character flaws.
You are simple in your thinking. All men worship something. We were created for that purpose.
But this just shows how blind you are. You accuse me of having this 100lb rock on my shoulders wanting to unload in on someone, but look at my threads and posts. Tell me, which ones have I started these types of conversations? You tell me when I first made the attempt to give a "dig" into those that do not agree with me without cause? You are proving yourself to be a fool. Is this how you raised your kids to be...to speak without thinking? I confront arrogance with directness and I don't care how the arrogant feels about it. If you don't like it, stop being arrogant.
I have nothing against you as a person. But I do with how you think.
How about it proving man's fallen state? Or proving how morally corrupt man has become and needs a Savior to redeem man from eternal punishment for such behavior? That's right, we all have god in us. And what a god it is....
Your hate for God coupled with the guilt you feel for your own short comings has blinded you and made you bitter towards God. There is no fool like an old fool.
You take any chance you get to discredit God for man's behavior. And I would venture to guess that when something good happens, you're quick to give credit to man and try to use it to "prove" man has god in themselves. You are simple in your thinking. You have all creation around you. You have the human anatomy with it's complex design and you sit there smug saying there is no Creator.
I suppose you're foolish enough to believe that I went to a junk yard with a shoebox and loaded it with pieces of glass, screws, bolts. I took it home and shook it for 12 months straight. When I opened the shoebox, out popped a Rolex watch. Ah, but you say that's impossible! Yet the human anatomy is way more complex than that of a Rolex. No wonder God says that a person who says in their heart, "There is no God, is a fool".
I agree, also. I didn't look at her question as just getting married or living together. But being together until death. Why I also said, "buried beside one another".
May I add that....let's say one did learn the essentials as a young child and adhered to them into adulthood. Sometimes all it takes is 1 bad experience to smash it all. That happened to me in 2001. It was so bad I became a hermit for 5-6 years. The thought of caring for a woman, let alone a person was remote. For that many years the only feeling I could muster is a deep hatred for all people...incl. my family. Long story but it can happen. I'm not saying someone hurt that deep can't find someone to love them for who they are and where they are in life...they can.
When meeting local women I really try to take into account their circumstances but look past them to see the real person. Because I realize that people are affected by their surroundings and if placed in a healthy surrounding, they can have a better chance at having a healthy relationship. Doesn't always turn out that way however.
Yea, same for me. But I did meet someone last week. Nice lady and seems to be good so far. I'm also looking out for her also. I know how sometimes feelings can be overwhelming and then people tend to rush at times...I'm not going to allow her if I feel it's too soon.
I know I'm not going to ask her or anyone "out" until my willingness to commit is in line with how I feel about her.
Honestly, I think that's the norm for today. Can't say I blame them really, given the examples they have out there. Perhaps when I meet someone and form my next relationship I can set a new example for people to look at. 1 person at a time.
