Did God Abandon Us?

a reply to: TheChuckster

There are no gods and never have been. Or anything else.


Start thinking.

If not he should.
Cheers

NOPE. HE HAS NOT abandoned us, per se.

Certainly He has not abandoned THOSE WHO

earnestly, doggedly, persistently, tenaciously SEEK HIS FACE; A DIALOGUE WITH HIM; A DANCE WITH HIM . . . according to His instructions and priorities.

Sounds like you may have had a dark spiritual force dinking with you in your room.

They are liars and deceivers who seek to distract, prevent, harrass any move toward and/or with God.

God IS certainly proving His kids in a lot of refiner's fires these days . . . and HE IS in the midst of a HUGE OBJECT LESSON TO ALL OF CREATION

about the COSTS of mankind doing our own thing--apart form HIM--individually and collectively.

"God" is just a control mechanism to deprive you of your freedom of self.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

NOPE.

Only through a dance with ABBA, DADDY, YEHOVAH

CAN we become the fullest, most joyful and fulfilled identity we were designed to be.

Great come back. "Nope. You're wrong!" But I guess that's all you can work with when the evidence for what you are talking about cannot be produced.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

I have tons of evidence.

I reserve it for those with a demonstrated true heart interest in and openness to it.

However, most of the time, I don't even get into it then . . . there's plenty of sites and sources on the net for those truly SEEKING TRUTH . . . and/or GOD.

However, I have no doubt you will keep your death grip on your perspective for the foreseeable future. We shall all see how that works out for you.

Have you any scientific evidence God doesn't exist or are you just going by your beliefs, faith in atheism
Just asking, don't get upset

Did God Abandon Us? Is a common question many religious folks ask themselves.

Is it? I have seldom heard religious people ask this question. Most of them believe their religion has a copyright on "god". Don't be fooled. If you want to believe in god, then do so, but don't let any religion on this earth convince you they are god's chosen representatives or ambassadors. They aren't. They are the blind leading the blind. They know even less than you do, because they are wise in their own estimation, and can no longer see, hear, or learn.

God abandon us? The imaginary space man was never here in the first place.

a reply to: TheChuckster

Yes, there is a god, but its not what the "christians" have made him to be. Jesus used that verbiage for lack of a better word...still not sure what to call it.

A fabric of truth? Energy? Magic? Universe?

You clearly said it to yourself, it was you, you are god, so am I. You are me and I am you.

(theory of one, still trying to wrap my head around it)

I have abandoned "god" and slowly coming back as well but more as a universal truth type theory that I still do not understand.

Ah so people with the same biases as you. That isn't evidence. That is an echo chamber.

No there are plenty of sites on the internet that will tell you what you want to hear. Not too much on the evidence department though.

However, I have no doubt you will keep your death grip on your perspective for the foreseeable future. We shall all see how that works out for you.

No. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who will see how that works out for me.

Asking me to prove a negative?

PS: I'm an agnostic, but you don't care to learn the difference do you?

Yep. God was an ancient invention by man because of fear of the unknown. Later the term 'faith' was coined by controlling organized religions to perpetrate intellectual laziness.

a reply to: Krazysh0t

You can be anything you want to be, me I am no psychic or mind reader, do you know the difference
The difference between your negative and our truth
See, yours is the negative and ours is the truth, we can't prove our truth because your the negative

But it's just playing with words, believe what you want to, that's your free will, leave us to believe ours, we will get along that way, unless you are so fundamentalist that there can be none of that
I think you are a fundamentalist, just batting for the other side
But I don't know, not psychic you know

This post reminds me of my favorite to date:

Did God abandon us ... or did we abandon Him?

a reply to: Raggedyman

Whatever you say sport. I don't feel like entertaining ad hominems though so forgive me for not addressing anything you said.

a reply to: Raggedyman

Chances are your god does not exist, but that does not matter... your faith is what really matters That is what counts.

That is what counts.

Chances are you don't know that anymore than the rest of us actually do. All you have is the same faith the rest of us have.

You are basically placing your faith on what men know and have observed and their interpretation of it.

You are banking on them being utterly and infallibly right.
