Your Beliefs Are Yours!

No.
We must not believe he is responsible for the world around us (which also is filled with astonishing comforts, joy and pleasure).

This world around us demonstrates we have free will.
We most definately create most all of our own problems because of selfish decisions and choices we make.

Roxycheer - The God YOU wish for is the WORST of all possiblities.
What if this God makes food appear in your hand.
Makes Cars stop in mid-air when we drive them off cliffs?
Even zaps a criminals mind to 'force it to stop' whenever bad is attempted?

Then you, me and everyone else just became reduced to 'puppets' or even 'children' who never know 'why' to love, 'how' to choose good or bad.
We become a cruel joke - including your concern about others.. that would just be a program you were 'made' to think.

The god you wish for is the worst god of all

 

Let Gangsters carry high-powered Rifles.
If you dont...
... You are FOR slower, more painful stabbing deaths?

Wha? Your FOR Stabbing people to death??
No?

Then let them choose 303's to murder their victims!

 

right.................good point.........? Though I can't see the connection, I am sure it relates to what I said somehow. Glad to see you do not dispute my point about your attitudes towards the lives of the women.
I would be against gangsters even carrying knives myself, for that matter, I am against gangsters period. I myself, would be against any method of killing that is anything less than being as humane as possible.
I sometimes wish there was some way I could learn your views on any of the questions you ask and points you raise.

So, which god do you wish for?

Occam

 

could someone explain that post about me at GM Place?

I am so lost trying to catch the meaning, and I would like to know what it means.

 

Exactly!

 

Very helpful response to my plea for help, ya rat bastard!
.
There once was a boy named Brocktoon,
An arrogant, silly maroon.
But soon this buffoon, who acts like a loon
Quits being a goon, starts to croon a new tune
And I'll no more see this baboon.

 

There once was a boy named BlackG
Who like to rhyme words you see
His choice was Maroon
He used it too soon,
'Cause a colour, a flare or a sailor is not me

BG13 - were you describing me as a Vancouver Maroon or a Montreal Maroon?
If so - then I would have to credit you with keen Hockey Club Trivia
(although, why Im a 'silly arrogant' Hockey Player is still odd)

 

wow...i never thought of it in that way...thanx!

I have to say that upon researching the definitions of Maroon, I should not have used it. I did so based on the context I had heard it used on tv, of all places.

I apologize to the Maroons of the Carribean, I did not intend to associate you with this person, and I do not see him as being at all like you.

[/QUOTE] What are those 2?

 

I think you meant 'They' not 'him'?

In anycase, I appreciate your clarification BG!
Its true that I am in no way like the Sailors Marooned on Caribbean Islands, although Im sure there are many similarities in some cases.

... Oley Moley you are funny sometimes BG13!!! !

Yeah, it seems to work .

 

That 838%


There is only 100% ...
Dont use percentages in belief...
They dont work..
Percentages are variables in methodology.
NOT FACT.

ALL human religious belief starts with 0%
What evidence elevates it from there?

Occam

 

99% of Psychiatrists disagree with Occam.
(hehe.. i just made up that percentage.. its actually ALL Psychiatrists

Seriously though,,, people who study these things will often talk about how Human Beings are 'Hard-Wired' to believe in a Creator or 'Father' God(s) who have some 'Communication' with them (in some way).

This is sometimes given as Scientific Evidence for the existance of God, since it definately appears that People are 'built' with this inherint trait.

Pascal made a comparable and famous statement "There is a God-Shaped Vacuum" in all men.

So Occams assertion (which is based on what evidence I dont know?) does not seem to square with the Professionals anyway?

Why did you say that Occam?

Rubbish
[and psychiatry has nothing to do with philosophy]
Occam bows to NO preconcieved belief if it is not backed by existant phenomena.

There ARE NO PROFESSIONALS IN THIS QUESTION.
Each human perspective is JUST AS VALID AS ANY OTHER.

Why did you say that Occam?

Say What?
