Let the true GOD show himself

[Cerpin Taxt]

lol :awe:

I believe in the 1 true God.

1. "'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me." Isaiah 44:6

He is the creator of this world.
Even if you believe you somehow came to be by mutating from monkeys which formed from rain on a rock.
It is not that way.

All hail the God Isaiah!

There are close to 1500 active religions in the world today. When you add in cults and magic voodoo groups, the number goes well over 3000. My question is; with so many religions in the world, which one is the correct one? Which is the true God?

Here is my solution: Invite the leader(s) of every religion to a summit meeting. Give a test such as cause a lightning bolt to crash outside the building, or some other unusual weather phenomenon.

Since worship/recognition seems to be a need of every God, wouldn’t the correct God want everyone worshipping the correct God and to stop with the false worship? Wouldn’t this solve many problems in the world, as we would all be following the same religion?

What happens though, when all the religious leaders try as they might, and nobody can get their God to lift a finger? Would this disprove religion or would the religious leaders all claim their God was taking a day off today?

Why can’t the true God show himself?

So....it would kind of be like Comic-Con or a Star Trek convention.

" "King of Kings Ozymandias am I. If any want to know how great I am and where I lie, let him outdo me in my work." Pharaoh RamessesII

Not only did Ramesses II exist, anyone can go see the monuments he had built, to this day. Curiously, his quote precedes even the Old Testament by some 700 years.

There are timelines for an eternal being? Who knew?

 

[Sonikku]

I figure all religions are as made up as the next. At this point I put down Jedi Religion when the applicable space appears on a form I need to fill out. :awe:

 

[sandorski]

Who can know, no Eternal Being has been shown to exist.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I believe God exists and, if so, any measure of time in our understanding would be meaningless.

 

[sandorski]

Would it? How can you Know this to be accurate?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Would it? How can you Know this to be accurate?

It could be both. I do know that precedence is a poor way to make decisions.

Behold, God the Bounty Hunter!

Bet there'd be some freaky sweet tang there.

The true God is manifest in the behavior of everyone that does something loving for others but for which they will receive no improved procreative benefits.

 

[ThinClient]

For the same reason the FSM can't

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand /thread

That's not god. That's humanity. That's humanistic empathy and compassion.

Now you know better than that

bah..

 

[sportage]

Who says God has this time schedule, especially mans time schedule?
I have the answer to both sides, creation and evolution.

So God said he created man?
Religion have this idea that meant some instantaneous event of creation.
Evolutionist believe it started with a tiny living blob swimming in the ocean, then evolved into a fish, then a fish with legs, then something crawling out of the oceans onto the land, eventually walking upright and finally evolving into man.

So what if both sides are right?
What if and when God did create man, what happened next was the progression from swimming blobs in the ocean to a creature walking upright on the land?
And that occurrence of God creating man took several billion years?
And not man years, but God years?
Billions of man years, yet a mere instant in God years.

So yeah, God created man thru the process of divine evolution.
And when the time translation from mans interpretation states this creation happened over seven days, that is actually God days of several billion trillion man years.
But.... whose counting? Right?

I just want to know one thing...
Is Ted Cruz considered an evolving man or evolving blob?
And might he/she/it/??? possibly evolve over the next several billion years?
Man years, that is....

 

[jhansman]

Belief is belief, not fact. My belief is we find out what's what when we get to the other side. May be nothing, but......

No enlarged penis?
That's not what the email in my spam folder said.
Whom do you expect me to believe? You or my spam folder?

He has.

 

[Ruptga]

He has.

If any god worthy of the title really cared about us as much as their PR services claim they do they would visit pretty often, perhaps even with each individual if they really are omnipotent, instead of popping in once or twice over the entire course of civilization before peacing out. So, either there are no gods worthy of the title, or any gods that may exist don't care for us all that much. Either way, fuck em, they don't matter unless we make them matter.

And no, fuzzy feelings and voices in our heads don't count. Evidence that can't be differentiated from schizophrenia is hardly compelling.

If I'm making some raisin bread, I don't check in on the yeast cells in the dough to make sure that they're not engaging in any sinful behaviors.

I just want them to make alcohol and carbon dioxide, and then I slaughter them wholesale in the oven. That's some oldschool Biblical benevolence right there. (You know, since I'm not killing all of the yeast. I still have an Ark full of them in the freezer.)

And no, fuzzy feelings and voices in our heads don't count. Evidence that can't be differentiated from schizophrenia is hardly compelling.

But...Faith! That proves absolutely anything and everything! (When it's convenient.)



You can have all the faith you want, but you still can't run head-first through a meter-thick concrete wall.
The atoms in the wall and the atoms in your skin and bones won't really care about what thoughts or knowledge happen to be in your brain at the time. They're still not going to pass through one another.

Then for some reasons, possibly attributable to some sort of systemic bug in the construction of our species' brains, we hold up this blind faith as a positive thing.
Faith: A rational acceptance of something which is based on evidence. You can have faith that another person won't let you down in a rough patch, but this is based on years of solid evidence that this will be the case. Or there can be faith that Earth's rotation will continue unabated for a long time, thus consistently providing day/night cycles.
Blind faith: An irrational belief in the truth of something, even when the evidence of it is shaky, circumstantial, or even nonexistant.

Yet blind faith is often seen as a virtue.

Hmm...looks like the OP's troll thread didn't quite get the traction he wanted...yet, anyway.

I adopted the internet religion. Best decision I ever made. All hail our lord and saviour Ceiling Cat!

I have communed with him and he says you all masturbate way too much. He is watching.

This is pretty much what I was thinking. People who all started using the net in the 90's are basically a group/cult in and of themselves.

People group together, its happening all over the world this very second. Talking, socializing, sharing ideas and out of all this, a shared set of beliefs is developed. The horror. Imagine if they all started fighting amongst each other like Native Indian tribes. People having friends and peers is a scourge that society just cannot ignore. You should have zero friends and just use google if you have any questions or if you need to know what to think, like me Raizinman.
