sometimes god works in strange ways Denis, the duck knows it, you
should too, beating the crap out of your kids, or better yet, killing
them, is guranteed to send your children to heaven, save them the
trouble of dealing with satan here in the real world, if all
christians killed their kids, imagine how much better the world would
be.

God allows man's inhumanity to man to continue - it's in man's human nature. I
personally don't know why he didn't it then, but it will all stop in his due time when the
world comes to an end. Only God knows that date.

highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves

I don't know you, and your behaviour in here isn't something I'd

Tsk, one would have hoped, if you were following the desires you
claim this 'god' has, that you would correct my lack of
understanding.
So, how did this 'supreme being' create itself?
If it created everything, how is it 'all love' and not partly
'hate'?
b) the phrase "what he really means"
Love one another.

us". That's a

Ahh, which accounts for your lack of concern at 'thou shalt not
bear false witness'.
The greatest commandment, according to your book of blood, is that
yu do as I previously indicated. Your dishonesty suggests you'd
rather lie than love. Your 'god' must be truly impressed with you.
That said, now what could be greater than to love God with all your heart,
your mind, and
body.
Previously, according to you, that we 'love one another'.
The existence of almighty God is the only thing that makes sense thru
reason, logic, and common sense.
Which would explain the lack of sense in that comment, kinda.
To you, maybe, but not to me.
Seems to me you're the one contradicting yourself left, right &
centre. If your views aren't self-consistent, then at least some of
them are incorrect.
I had my 20 years running away, and then began to realize I had done it
wrong. Now I am
'Running away'? From what?>>
I didn't accept the existence of God.
answer the question.
I did.
I don't see how "I didn't accept the existence of God" is a thing
you can run away from, please explain.
Love one another as I love you is the new commandment.
I don't know you, and your behaviour in here isn't something I'd
want to emulate.
That's your problem, not mine.
How so?
Heck, I'd take a dog that behaves like you to the
vet for desexing and if that didn't improve its behaviour I'd
re-visit the vet and have it put to sleep.
Does your dog agree with your assessment?
What dog?
Have Fun

If you stop to think about God and what he really
means, one doesn't need medical
attention to conclude that God truly exists.
I had my 20 years running away, and then began
to realize I had done it wrong. Now I am
totally happy with my decision to return.
Never have I been happier in my personal and
private life since I came back.
That's just great Duke. Unfortunatley,
it sounds like you are saying that
you only believe because it makes you
happy. If God made you sell all your
stuff, and change diapers for a living
the rest of your life, You'd still whorship
him I bet.

No, all logic, reason, and good sense demand that God exists.

Of course. Why not?

I know logic and reason, I have a bachelor of science
degree issued by the State of Kansas to prove it.
So go ahead and show us *how* logic and reason
demand that God exists, or do you think that
I will just take your word for it.

Of course. Why not?
A better question is why would you?
But your testimonial implies that
by turning to religion, people will
be happier. It was not that long
ago, when the idea of being holy
was suffering, that you had to suffer
to get close to God, exactly the
opposite of what you were trying to
imply.

As 'God' doesn't exist, life with 'God' would be insanity.
But if you enjoy your imaginary friends....hey why not eh ?

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

So, you've finally come back to Zeus?
I waver between Appolo and Dionysius, myself. Much to be said about
serving either one, dontcha think?
