Re: God question/rant
According to the Bible, God is very active after Creation. There's Noah's flood, covenant with Abraham, miracles in Egypt and the exodus to the Promised Land, deliverance in battles against the Philistines and others, just to name a few things. And of course, the most important event of all: saving all of humanity from sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, God via the Holy Spirit is very active in the world right now, helping people accept the Gospel and encouraging Christians.Originally posted by BeBro
I mean even if I assume he created the world and stuff etc. - that was back then, and now is now. So he had a week full of work and......that's it???
What is he doing all the time now? You know, you can't point forever to a single achievement in life and expect people to be thankful for it forwever, at some point you have to move on and start doing stuff again, otherwise you might end up as lazy bastard.
Discuss.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

I dismiss it for better reasons, but I would say that not understanding something is a good reason to not believe it, even if you don't dismiss it.Originally posted by Shrapnel12

No, it's more like: "We can't understand it, that's why God never tried to explain it to us, and just doesn't expect from us that we understand or grab it"Originally posted by Kidicious

Kid, well it's one of the conflicts. Basically it's about God giving you free will. So you can choose what you want, you can believe in him or not. Life is also a gift.
But you should spend that time worshipping God.
. I mean this is what some people do, not everyone. If course it's a bit of a .. funny conflict there. Naturally some people go there for other reasons. But the ones who go there because they're afraid if they didn't go... man.. those people are monkey poo.

There is no surer sign of stupidity than thinking you're smart and those who disagree with you are necessarily stupid.
