So god makes people without purpose on purpose but they need to find their own purpose? Against gods purpose?

if god has done all this dope shyt for you then you’ve done nothing, right?

Dude I'm not engaging in anything with you...you admit yourself you only have 1 goal when it comes to religious discussion.

You're clearly not a believer ..and I don't even want to waste my time nor energy on you.

I'll end with by answering

I AM NOTHING without GOD..

I can humble myself and admit that...

Stop quoting me.

Seems like motivated reasoning on your behalf. Why not win me over as a convert? You know recent evangelicals are the best promoters :sas2:


Maybe I’m a test sent from the specific god you believe in you make sure you continue to obey? :ohhh:

Faith is the belief in things unseen or so I've been told.:manny:

I posed my question to stir up healthy talk..hoping to learn something maybe.

But of course that one dude comes in with an agenda to perhaps look smarter than believers or whatever his agenda is..
people who dont love the word, dont love their own word either

in essence their own words become their judge

as jesus says:

Matthew 15:10-12

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

the spoken and written words are intertwined, one has power and the other is like seed.

Why did god have the Bible written? Why not write it in the clouds? Or on the side of a mountain? Why a book?

Ask the inverse for your answer:

symbols are just symbols

why not write something in the sand

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.

7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.

10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

A whale swallowing a human isn’t a miracle. It’s alleged to have happened even recently.

I’m not religious by any traditional sense but I listen to Pastor Tony Smith when he goes into social commentary. Some of the most hilarious, real conversations you can hear on the subjects.

What does it hurt to believe that there is an afterlife?

It hurts plenty. We need to focus on combating REAL world problems. Many who buy into the life after death delusion either deny this or try to make it worse.

We've seen Muslims suicide bomb children's birthday parties believing that they'd get 72 virgins an alleged afterlife. Christian Zionists, a now very influential movement amongst conservatives, are willing to give the Israeli government whatever it wants, including wars which kill millions, in order to fulfill end times prophecies. Some Christians are similarly fine with doing nothing about climate change for similar reasons.

Suicide bombing is horrific. Actively trying to bring about the end the world is the worst thing people can do. As Voltaire said, "Those who can make you believe absurdities can also make you commit atrocities."
