LOL!!!! I was waiting for that, because it always comes back to "well you can't prove ...". Then religion offers a viable explanation and you keep asking why until they eventually run out of responses and hit the faith barrier and then you call bullshit because this isn't backed up by proof. Thats basically a self fulfilling prophesy.
And I won't lie, it is tough to believe in god sometimes. There is so much evil, hatred, suffering, and death in this world that it makes no sense. But all we have is the human perspective. Had go not given us free choice we would all be like the Stepford Wives and no one wants that. Our pitiful little minds can't even begin to fathom the idea of an omnipotent being who created the universe and whose believers go into a paradise with streets paved of gold.
Does heaven have limited space? Where do murderers go to heaven? I never did anything wrong and pray everyday, why did I get cancer at the age of 15? We don't know the answer to these questions. God does, and the fact that he does know this but won't cue us in pisses us off. Why is some little child born dying of cancer and lives till the age of 2? I don't know, and it is hard to put your faith in a supposedly loving being who allws this to happen. But, the world isn't fair and we will never understand this. Why? Because we only understand what our minds allow. The human factor so to speak.
And I love it when people respond to "where's the proof" with this. Instead of showing any proof, you only want to argue that that's all we want.
Lolol. Ahhhh, the good book. You have no way of showing true, real proof so you point to that magical book. Sherlock Holmes was in a few books and he said a lot of things. But that doesn't mean he was real does it? So we should just go on word that something is so without proof of it? In that case, if I insisted I could fly, you wouldn't ask me to show you? You wouldn't ask me to prove it to you? While you say proof of His existence is in the book, I can say, "there's the sky and I have arms that I can use for wings" for my proof. I don't have to actually show you that I can do it. Where you say look at the trees and everything that surrounds you and those are objects of God, I just have to show you the objects of flight (the sky, my arms for wings).
What I don't understand about all this is that you people expect everyone to believe something so powerful, something that allegedly created everything we have ever known, but we're not to have proof of it. Yet when someone says that their car just ran 11.2 at the track in a stock Civic, you jump up asking where the time slip is...the proof. Wow. I just blew my own damn mind. Lolol. Later, QD.
