to see God |
Ever see a woman, who looks directly into your heart, and lays everything
that you are before herself, and knows you perfectly?
Ever see into her eyes, as if she has been there in your life since its
inception?
Do her words light a candle before you, and demonstrate everything she is
with a single, well intentioned glow?
That is a daiquiri.
The daiquiri is a female manifestation of the omnipresent God.
Every see a man, who totally takes charge, and knows your game like he
designed it himself?
Ever see a man, who draws the very best from you, and kindles it like a
fire, until all around you are warmed by the penetrable glow?
Does he have the wisdom of the ages, and always know precisely what to say
to encourage you?
That is a daddy.
Daiquiris and daddies are manifestations of the omnipresent God.
They can be your father, your mother, your sister, your brother.
They can even be your husband or your wife.
There is your proof of God.
Time to go see him, now.

Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated for
their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian
schools. Resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined,
shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to
afford every child growing up in the land of opportunity of a good common
school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistical dogmas.
Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church and the
private school supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the
church and state forever separate.

Could be. Wisdom of the ages comes in many forms. Check it out.

No, at least not in the sense that I am currently talking about.
I am talking about God simply making himself visible and tangible.

Perhaps death, distruction, suffering of the innocent, denture stains,
and sporks are God's way of making himself apparent and tangible. It
makes as much sense as anything you've said.

Standard platonian mistake.
Detect something that some people have in common,
give it a name,
Then think this abstraction is the real thing,
and go one and treat the real things you notice
as manifestations of the abstraction.

What an absolutely 'lame' response.
This is a perfect example of a theist trying to camoflauge the fact that his
'God' is downright EVIL!
Look at what Smiler presented you with carefully. Savor it. Let it roll all
over your tongue like a fine wine. These 'gifts' of your 'God' to mankind
are beyond 'vile'. By introducing such unbelievable evil into the world,
your (imaginary) 'God' clearly shows how uncaring and malevolent he truly
is. Just as a husband who beats his wife to the point that she has to be
hospitalized on a regular basis and yet claims he 'loves' her; so too a
'God' who is claimed to be a 'loving' God, yet consciously and
*deliberately* introduced eating bacteria, the HIV virus, the bubonic
plague, smallpox, diptheria, and a whole host of unspeakably horrific
diseases into existence -- when he clearly had the option *not* to. *That*
shows what kind of malevolent creature you worship. You cannot 'sugar coat'
the evil introduced into existence by your make-believe 'Love God', nor
account for such evil by offering up the explanation that such evil serves
to make life more 'interesting'. What a load of hooey! Your 'God' is the
most sadistic, cruel, and uncaring imaginary deity man has ever 'created'.
The worst! Prove he's not.
Remember this: Before the universe even came into existence, your 'God'
conceived of the notion of it and what 'elements' it would be comprised of.
He thought of creating man and woman and introduced them into existence. He
rolled the idea of 'evil' -- (And where in the *hell* did *that* idea, that
*concept* of evil, come from? Great-grandpa 'God'?) -- around in his 'brain'
for a spell and then consciously chose to afflict man (and his perfectly
created 'angels') with it like a an inoperable form of cancer. Now tell me
*that* is the act of a 'loving' God. Tell Smiler that 'God's' creation of
evil was for the sole purpose of making life for man, more 'interesting'.
Tell that to the survivors of the Holocaust, or the slowly starving men,
women, and children of Darfur! What a mindless position to hold. You are
living in a land of delusion. You are propping up and trying to 'sell' a
deity that is patently, morally reprehensible and depraved. Thank *goodness*
this creature of yours is entirely make-believe! But that doesn't explain
your irrational presentation of him to us as some sort of paragon of virtue
and the personification of all that is 'Good'. What hog-wash! Your 'God' is
EVIL. He conjured up the concept of evil in his mind, and deliberately
introduced it into existence. The very personification of evil, 'Satan', was
created by this 'God' of yours with a fore-knowledge of what kind of
depravity he would stoop to and unleash on mankind. But think about *this*.
It is your 'God' who is the 'monster', not the 'scape-goat', Satan, who had
no option whatsoever to 'refuse' his role. Just as 'God' supernaturally
intervened and made Pharaoh do something he did not really want to do in
Exodus 10:20, so too with 'Satan'. What a sadistic fiend your 'God' is! And
need I bring up that disgustingly sadistic act of ordering Abraham to
'sacrifice' his son 'Isaac' as a 'burnt offering' up to his Godness? What in
the hell is wrong with your brain, dude?! Where in the hell is your head?!
Can't you see that this imagined 'God' of yours is 'evil' and *not*
'good'???
The supplier of life.
You mean for a day or two for 'crack babies' or babies so deformed at birth
that they wish they had never been born? For the 'Elephant Man' (Joseph
Merrick)? Gee, what a precious 'gift' *he* got.
According to your beliefs, also the bringer of death.
(but, of course, you sneakily avoided mentioning that)

There's no such thing as immortality, in the sense that you mean it, so
nothing has given it.
There are lots of immortals in the world. People come back from the dead
all the time. Don't tell me you haven't seen any of them!
You're living a life of delusion. Your beliefs have no basis in fact. And
when looking at the heinous 'acts' perpetrated by your beloved deity -- and
the absurdity involved (God is the son of God? -- A 'borrowed' phrase which
epitomizes how preposterous the claims for the existence of 'God' tend to
get.) One comes away dazed and nearly bowled-over by the irrationality and
senselessness of such a belief-system.
It's 'cuckoo' when one gives it unblinded scrutiny.
C'mon Mark! You're better than that.
Greywolf
(My profuse apologies for 'butting-in' here, Smiler. Your points were well
made. I just can't take such irresponsible and nauseating inablilty of the
brainwashed to confront the truth such as is exhibited here, at times. What
in the hell are these people's heads? Existing in a vacuum?)

There is always a demon in it trying to stop your progress.
It is part of life, and makes it interesting.
What an absolutely 'lame' response.
This is a perfect example of a theist trying to camoflauge the fact that
his
'God' is downright EVIL!
Look at what Smiler presented you with carefully. Savor it. Let it roll
all
over your tongue like a fine wine. These 'gifts' of your 'God' to mankind
are beyond 'vile'.
They may be vile to you, since you think this life is all you have.
But they are not that vile in reality, because they last less than a
microsecond, compared to the eternity which they are backwashed against.
These evils in the world are there for our sake, so that we may overcome and
defeat them, and thereby obtain honour that lasts.
By introducing such unbelievable evil into the world,
your (imaginary) 'God' clearly shows how uncaring and malevolent he truly
is. Just as a husband who beats his wife to the point that she has to be
hospitalized on a regular basis and yet claims he 'loves' her; so too a
'God' who is claimed to be a 'loving' God, yet consciously and
*deliberately* introduced eating bacteria, the HIV virus, the bubonic
plague, smallpox, diptheria, and a whole host of unspeakably horrific
diseases into existence -- when he clearly had the option *not* to. *That*
shows what kind of malevolent creature you worship. You cannot 'sugar
coat'
the evil introduced into existence by your make-believe 'Love God', nor
account for such evil by offering up the explanation that such evil serves
to make life more 'interesting'. What a load of hooey! Your 'God' is the
most sadistic, cruel, and uncaring imaginary deity man has ever 'created'.
The worst! Prove he's not.
Remember this: Before the universe even came into existence, your 'God'
conceived of the notion of it and what 'elements' it would be comprised
of.
He thought of creating man and woman and introduced them into existence.
He
rolled the idea of 'evil' -- (And where in the *hell* did *that* idea,
that
*concept* of evil, come from? Great-grandpa 'God'?) -- around in his
'brain'
for a spell and then consciously chose to afflict man (and his perfectly
created 'angels') with it like a an inoperable form of cancer. Now tell me
*that* is the act of a 'loving' God. Tell Smiler that 'God's' creation of
evil was for the sole purpose of making life for man, more 'interesting'.
Tell that to the survivors of the Holocaust, or the slowly starving men,
women, and children of Darfur! What a mindless position to hold. You are
living in a land of delusion. You are propping up and trying to 'sell' a
deity that is patently, morally reprehensible and depraved. Thank
*goodness*
this creature of yours is entirely make-believe! But that doesn't explain
your irrational presentation of him to us as some sort of paragon of
virtue
and the personification of all that is 'Good'. What hog-wash! Your 'God'
is
EVIL. He conjured up the concept of evil in his mind, and deliberately
introduced it into existence. The very personification of evil, 'Satan',
was
created by this 'God' of yours with a fore-knowledge of what kind of
depravity he would stoop to and unleash on mankind. But think about
*this*.
It is your 'God' who is the 'monster', not the 'scape-goat', Satan, who
had
no option whatsoever to 'refuse' his role. Just as 'God' supernaturally
intervened and made Pharaoh do something he did not really want to do in
Exodus 10:20, so too with 'Satan'.
God just made Pharaoh act like himself, which he may not have done because
of his innate respect for Moses.
What a sadistic fiend your 'God' is! And
need I bring up that disgustingly sadistic act of ordering Abraham to
'sacrifice' his son 'Isaac' as a 'burnt offering' up to his Godness?
Don't you remember? God stopped Abraham.
What in
the hell is wrong with your brain, dude?! Where in the hell is your head?!
Can't you see that this imagined 'God' of yours is 'evil' and *not*
'good'???
The supplier of life.
You mean for a day or two for 'crack babies' or babies so deformed at
birth
that they wish they had never been born? For the 'Elephant Man' (Joseph
Merrick)? Gee, what a precious 'gift' *he* got.
According to your beliefs, also the bringer of death.
(but, of course, you sneakily avoided mentioning that)
The giver of the state of immortality.
There's no such thing as immortality, in the sense that you mean it, so
nothing has given it.
There are lots of immortals in the world. People come back from the
dead
all the time. Don't tell me you haven't seen any of them!
You're living a life of delusion. Your beliefs have no basis in fact. And
when looking at the heinous 'acts' perpetrated by your beloved deity --
and
the absurdity involved (God is the son of God?
Who else could be God's only son besides God? A king gives birth to a
prince, you know.
-- A 'borrowed' phrase which
epitomizes how preposterous the claims for the existence of 'God' tend to
get.) One comes away dazed and nearly bowled-over by the irrationality and
senselessness of such a belief-system.
It's 'cuckoo' when one gives it unblinded scrutiny.
C'mon Mark! You're better than that.
Thank you, so are you.

Faith, in the religious sense, means to place one's trust in an idea
irrespective of how little evidence there is to support it. It is to
suppress that part of the brain which filters fact from fiction, and to
chose fiction because it feels nicer.

The omnipresent, all wise, all good creator of everything
