I haven't been involved in a religion/Theology thread in a long time. Should've probably jumped in on this one a while back. I figured that even if I typed my typical wall of text that the IA heathens wouldn't ever understand that tangible is NO WHERE in the definition of FAITH.![]()
Everyone always wants something "tangible" BEFORE they believe, but fail to see that much like many of the beliefs that "non-believers" ardently stick to as "fact" are no more tangible than the religious FAITH itself they so quickly dismiss. Irony so thick you can cut it with a knife.
You guys want to talk about so-called "bible thumpers" being pushy? What about pants down to your knees? What about sideways hats? What about BET? What about giant billboards on the highway? What about Politicians? Each and every one of those are "pushing" something in people's faces each and every day that they don't necessarily agree with or believe, yet that's not as irritating to some as someone that says, "Hey, read the bible and see what you think.."?????? Is it because you guys care more about fashion, Television, and Politics???? Doubt it. It's because some of you want to ignore certain things and put importance on others. It's ok. It's called priorities. Some have politics as priorities, others religion. Why is one better than the other? How so?
Anyway, I've said enough for now. Yall know that I've gotten into some doozy debates on IA with some mighty intelligent people about this subject. Everyone has to make up their own mind as to what they believe and what they don't. If you need tangible to believe, then that's what YOU need. If you don't, then you don't. Just remember that "proof" is in the eye of the beholder.
How many times have "Scientists" who fell backward last year telling us that the world was flat only to come back this year to tell us something different?????? But some how, some way, THAT "Science" holds more water with some of you today than a book that hasn't changed much in 2000 years?......what about tommorow when they change their mind????? How many times have so called History books been updated and changed? Hell, how many of you grew up "learning" that Pluto was a planet.....how about now? Those are the "Scientists" that you want to hang your hat on???? Again, YOUR choice.![]()
