    "An all-knowing God can read your mind, so why does he require you to demonstrate your faith by worshiping him?"

    If one does not worship the God, then how can the "believing" formula of God being God and me being in the world; with or without Him make sense? It lives through the existence of the Other that, for that matter, for anybody other than myself I should have to maintain an essential mindfulness of that existence ... thinking.

    The same illogical formula can be used to demonstrate the unreasonable faith/belief in Tinkerbell. In order for her to be considered real, one must create her through the will of imagination. No real thinking is involved whatsoever. Just mere blind servitude at the loss of reason.

    It CAN be used to demonstrate the belief in Tinkerbell, but just because we could do that and at the same time acknowledge she is a fictional character does not means you can do the same with certainty about god. Well, you can if you are already certain but I thought you'd figured out by now it doesn't work that way for people with faith in god. Even when real thinking IS involved :p That method of measuring Tinkerbell and God by such same merits is only conclusive if you want it to be.

    Not true. My car is a mess. Hasn't been washed in months. But is a clean car such a bad thing?

    I think it's supposed to go in this direction?: they have too much free time on sundays so they always clean their cars on that day.

    Well since it is a day with time enough to wash a car. Might as well buff out those scratches of misconception while I'm at it.

    Omniscient = all knowing

    An all knowing god does not read your mind but is whatever knowledge that is in your mind. Faith is only required to temporarily suspend doubt, which is not knowledge. Worship is not required , but only dissatisfaction with the status quo, come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.

    You are correct that coming into something is to give it your attention. There is no lack of devotion in this world as we are all hard wired to find our good and where your treasure is, there is your devotion also.

    In this way they shall know you are my disciples, not that you make a display of worshiping god but that you love one another. How might one curry favor with god?, as you do unto the least of these my brethren, you do also unto me. And if you should deny any one of these even so much as a cup of water, I will say I did not know you.

    You can ask a million impertinent questions let alone forty and not approach the amount of information that can be gleaned from one relevant question like what is it for?

    Good god, only god is good or to check our work by reversing the equation,

    god is only another word for good!

    "You can ask a million impertinent questions let alone forty and not approach the amount of information that can be gleaned from one relevant question like what is it for?

    god is only another word for good!"

    For the point of "Good God" we are after the status quo of trusting the meaning of our Actions for or against one another. O.K. what reads our mind is personal and impersonal; thus personally God may be in touch for personal regard of "reading your mind". It would be in the meaning of action that the precise matter of knowledge is realized for the Mind. Who is to know this one?
    Being Dissatisfied with the status-quo has no knowledge by God, therefore by Good. Can an atheist allow the second one to be denied for his not believing in God? Therefore, there is a question of Action to be decided against the status quo beyond Good? I'd like God to know if there is any Good or Not to be cognizant about. He knows; some God/Man has to know beside Me.
    The atheist will not be utterly alienated as well for knowing no good of his actions. Similarly for knowing Good of your actions, is God to already be at the state of giving you credit for the good if your knowledge of and by the status quo is inadequate and faulty?

    How about: Being Dissatisfied with the status-quo has no knowledge by the definition of goodness, therefore by God? It feels to bare life in the western world with strangers about as if to be always at approval with the status quo. And then 'I was with the status quo backing the Muslim Brotherhood'.

    We know them by their fruit, that is our actions. Granted we want to feel secure. Being together in the world as we do unto another we do also to ourselves as we entreat our world to appear before us.

    Who needs to read minds, we share our thoughts. Impertinent.
    I don't understand the statement so I guess not me.
    Exactly, knowledge is material and flows freely into an open mind. The status quo being previous learning.
    i am neither atheist nor theist, I am studious. We are being and being is all doing as having being and being are the same.

    He says it's all good. Nothing to fear.


    Knowledge is not inadequate or faulty only momentary perceptions can be. Perception of itself is not knowledge but can lead to it as we make sense of our senses.

    No, all knowledge is only its perception. All knowledge is the actual state of knowing.

    Only? You mean when you use it of course.

    And when you perceive something that is not there?



    No, the inverse of that equation is good is only another word for god and that is true no matter who uses it because our god is that which we invoke as good. We are devoted to our good.

    When? Perception is not misperception.

    LOL No, that's just our good! I have no problem with 'god' being good for you, or vice versa, I don't even have a problem with your insistence it be so for everyone else as in your case I find it funny, even if I also find it mistaken! :-D

    There is no misperception just perception. We can however be mistaken in what we see.



    Our good is that? What is that?
    I am funny. What is funny about you to me is, you have your cake but you are afraid to admit to eating it because your afraid the recipe might be good after all even though I see you gulp with gusto. That is your inheritance. That somehow if your life is given you it makes less of your efforts? You are no thing alone as nothing is alone. You needn't be greater than life, only like life.

    lol

    So there isn't but there is? Get your story straight christian!

    Our good is our good whatever that happens to be. It doesn't always happen to be god.

    Thanks, I think. I am alive. And I'm not greater than life.

    As we roll on the floor together, you know thedope as Johnny. Get your story straight.
    Capturing reflected light with the eyes is not vision.


    Our good is always our god as we are devoted to it.



    More succinctly then, it is enough that you like it and probably seems less so when you don't.

    Forgive me. If you don't want to be known as a christian, I shall never call you one again.

    LOL Too much! Too much! And I don't mean light! Tell it to the blind!

    Can you be specific?

    Less what? Less enough? Less alive? Whose cake do you think mine really is?! lol Could've sworn I heard talk of 'goodly' devotion, does such a state then incorporate a dislike? :-D

    What place does depravity have in the God creation?

    And why do religious people get drawn to depravity?

    One craves when unaware of trusting he wishes to have a relationship for improved such empathy for and with the community.:mickey:
