For all the doubters out there believe in what ever you like i have seen the long version of this video all i can say is it's amazing ,there is no explanation other than it's a miracle
The greatest minds of all time, Aristotle, Plato, Pythagoras, etc. are all rolling in their graves watching this disgrace and stupidity of the Greek people, the once "greatest thinkers" of the planet.
You simple-minded modern Greeks should all be ashamed of yourselves exhibiting this stupidity. Dumber than dumb!
The snakes that appear are Cat Snakes (telescopus fallax) so called because of the cat-like vertical eye pupil for hunting at night. These are rear-fanged snakes that are unlikely to affect humans because of the small size.
The sending of these snakes to the church is NOT a miracle of God....enough said!
you dont like it move along please. i would throw my life away to argue something with people i don't know unless i strongly need to be contradicted and shown that i am wrong. i am always amaised by the fanatism of atheists. how much they can talk about a thing that is not, in their vision. their fanatism is a strong proof that there is a god and a lot of angry andstupid people. and it consists with the ideology of the ignorant that what i don't know i does not exists. get a life.
And agnostics too. It's not that these vids are 'infested' with us. It's that this is an age of enlightenment of sorts, where record numbers of people are wisening up, and realizing that religion is a sham. At least organized religion. We simply don't know if there was or is a 'god', and more people are realizing this, and surfing to check out both religious and non-religious vids. It's part of self-discovery or learning in general. Some people research both sides.
@Pistolman They're not exactly atheist. They don't like to believe in Jesus, because they like to enjoy the material life. Jesus is an obstruction for them and they try to prove him that he is wrong (and they have write same thing as the devil) But when you see this kind of people in the end of they're material life (e.g in a hospital on the bed of pain) is the most unhappy people of the planet earth. Thats why they have evil mind, because they hate love. JESUS IS LOVE
There is ALWAYS a scientific, biological, practical, natural explanation for things like the 'holy snakes' folks! History is replete with countless crazy HUMANS perpetrating all kinds of silly actions in order to try and legitimize religion! Don't you think that if there was a 'god', he/she/it would want us to USE OUR BRAINS and THINK LOGICALLY??!! Obviously, we DO moreso than blindsided, brainwashed, arrogant, selfish religious fanatics!!!
How come the 'miracle snakes' have not appeared in front of me? I've 'asked god' to prove himself, but nothing happened. NOTHING. NO SNAKES... NO GOD. PERIOD.
See, this is precisely the kind of immature, infantile, stupid, ridiculous 'thinking' you religious fanatics come up with. You say I don't "deserve" any miracles? If anyone should be shown these so-caled 'miracles', don't you think a 'god' would want to show them to the most ardent non-believer or doubter? DUH!
The 'Buy Bull'? Of course I read it, once. And once is more than enough! LOL. Again... MORTAL MEN... fallible, stinking HUMAN BEINGS who piss and shit like you and me wrote the unholy bible.
To prove that there is no 'god'. If there was, 'it' would have made the snakes appear. This is no more illogical or outrageous than all you dolts who think 'god' exists with such certainty... or existed in the past.
"The Bible says... the Bible says...." You sound like a 'broken record'! Please watch George Carlin's video on religion here on 'YouTube'. He says it all. Religion is BULLSHIT. No god.... never was.... never will be.
Christianity (which you hate so much) is based on the Bible. got that? ok... let's move on... this book is called "the word of God". oook... did you get it so far?... good... in this book, God says he will not prove himself in front of anyone. so... WHAT is the point of asking for things you know you won't get?... some "logic"...
Obviously, you NEED to 'take it slowly', given your low I.Q.! I don't hate Christianity per se... I just am concerned at how it stifles clear thinking and progress, for the most part. "The world of God" is an 'empty sentence'... 'mental masturbation', if you will. Because MORTAL HUMANS wrote EVERY religious book there ever was. Not a 'god', and not any other 'fairy tale' character. PEOPLE wrote it. So how the fuck can it be 'holy'???!!! Come on dude, PLEASE come back to REALITY!
Your stupid question is moot. The 'components' were part of space matter. If you claim a complex 'god' is responsible, then where the fuck did 'god' come from???!!! THAT is the more valid, introspective question. Don't give me your typical uncritical christian 'copout' answer such as, "god always was"!
sophiegromit (I revised this response, so I don't know which version you will receive--I thought sk1bianca's comment was yours) Yes, why are you so angry, and using all manner of profanity on youtube, and to a person you've never met? God always was because he is uncreated.
Bullshit MALAKA! I am Greek, and ex Greek Orthodox, so I know. I am all for the good things Christianity does (such as help the ill... help the poor, etc.), BUT let's face it... you don't need religion to help others. In fact, ALL religions are a waste of time, energy, and money that could be used in other ways to help humanity move forward. Agnosticism/atheism is GROWING anyway. The masses are slowly coming to their senses, 'thank dog'!!!!
sophiegromit, I'm not sure if my previous message got posted. Anyway, but what did Bill Maher have to say about Orthodoxy, in particular? How did he critique it?
sophiegromit, in other words, he doesn't mention the Orthodox Church...he probably knows little or nothing about it, too. And Orthodoxy isn't a religion, it's a way of life...it's the cure for religion. When you were Greek Orthodox, you were New Calendar, am I right?
I don't believe (pun intended!) he mentions the Orthodox Church, but does it really matter? He mentions the Catholic Church, and frankly, ALL Christianity is absurd! WHY would a perfect, all-knowing 'god' not create us the way he did, and expect us to be 'perfect', and send his 'son' to 'save us'???!!! This story is a huge FAIRY TALE! Also, 'new calendar', 'old calendar'... it doesn't matter. Time is a physical continuum that proves nothing, especially when segmented into human lengths.
sophiegromit, twice I've heard the saying, "The Orthodox Church is the best kept secret in America." Of course Bill Maher doesn't mention the Orthodox Church! How much can he possibly know about it?! There are 225-300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide. Orthodoxy is the second single largest confession of Christianity on the planet. Why are so many people unfamiliar with it? Were you Old or New Calendar? And do you know the difference?
Old or new calendar... who CARES?! It's all bullshit anyway. ALL relgions are a sham, and focus time and energy away from things that really matter here on Earth.
sophiegromit, well, I'm New Calendar, and I intend to become Old Calendar. So, I, for one, care about this. A human can live to about 120 years, right? The Bible says God gave humans a grace period of 120 years to come to repentance. Coincidence? Our time on earth is brief; our time in eternity is forever. A Christian, thus, needs to be merciful to others, while maintaining a prayerful relationship with Christ.
Actually, Bill Maher knows that there the legions of agnostics and atheists are growing in the world. More and more are realizing that so many religions are ancient, outdated 'fairy tales' and myths. It is more HONEST and HUMBLE to say "we just don't know if there ever was, or is, a 'god'." That is a powerful and eloquent statement.
to just say "we don't know if there ever was, or is, a 'God'." means just as nothing as saying there is/isn't a God. No proof for either side has been proven. So why bother to even leave that kind of comment?
No, actually it is different. If one has no proof of the past or present existence of a 'superior being', then 'God' really has no importance in one's life. IF 'God' is real, then 'God' should manifest itself to us humans in a direct, unquestionable way. It has not.
HA! That's laughable! You religious fanatics are the ones who personify 'God', calling 'it' a 'he' or 'him'! And moreover, you personify 'it' by pining for a 'father figure', treating it like a super person that you all rely on. How infantile!
"How infantile!"... What a smart way to end a debate by belittling people. Your theory is just as valid as mine. Your theory is just as unproven as mine. Thats why they are theories. What is infantile is your close-mindedness. In all of my statements i haven't even acknowledged if I believed 'God' exists and you still have the pathetic attempt at attacking me personally to raise your opinions.
There you go again! How can 'god' be 'uncreated'?? EVERYTHING has a process origin. Watch the movie 'RELIGULOUS' that just came out on DVD. You'll see how ridiculous religion has become in our world. It is old, ancient, outdated thinking based on myths and people's arrogance and selfishness. One day, religion will become OBSOLETE in our world. Then REAL PROGRESS will be made in solving the world's seemingly intractable problems!
I like Bill Maher; his stand-up routine is funny. The few time I've seen "Real Time With Bill Maher", I liked it. I'm curious to know, in his film, how does he depict the Orthodox Church? In a good light or a bad light? Just in general, in how much detail does his discuss Orthodoxy?
How can people reject something that probably DOESN'T EXIST in the first place? It's nigh time to rid the world of ass-backwards, infantile thinking like yours.
Of course i'm debating, and winning. See, the problem is all you religious nuts have no arguments. You are illogical, simple minded people who believe in a fairy tale make believe man in the sky. MALAKES, all of you!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
'Lysandros', SHUT UP ALREADY! You sound like a 'broken record' with your ancient, outdated RELIGIOUS HORSESHIT! You religious fanatics are so utterly delusionary and selfish to the point where you demand a 'father figure' to guide you through life! Presumably, you're an adult now, so use that thing between your ears called a BRAIN! Learn to THINK FOR YOURSELF! 'Good' and 'evil' are created by man. If there was/is a 'god', 'it' is has done a LOUSY JOB, given all the suffering here.
Rubbish! Much of the suffering here on Earth is due to ass-backwards, repressive, ridiculous belief in the fairy-tales of ALL religions. Look at Bush being against stem cell research, for example, that could potentially help so many ill humans! This thinking is due to religion, and all it's bullshit and non-reality based nonsense!
better go and get the grace and blessings of saint Gerasimos.than worry about evil snakes.the devil walks the island of keffalonica.the shrine of saint gerasimos is the only safe place on the island.
Believing in miracles is a matter of faith. No one should be pushed to believe or to not beleive. Assuming there is a god it would not make sense for him to compel people to beleive in him. People who are seeking Hard evidence of god would not beleive even if they saw it, this is why miracles remain obscure. Logical and intelligence will still not explain why we exist. People who resort to logic and intelligence have effectively appointed themselves as God and are not true atheists.
I have not been there, but any logical, intelligent person would have to say that most so called 'miracles' are not. They are probably faked or staged by fanatical religious zealots. This is common sense.
There are many miracles in orthodoxy!!The Holy light in Jerusalem,the miracle of the changing of the water in Jordan every year on orthodox theopahany,the appearance of the holy cloud on mount thabor at the transfiguration feast, everone can see them appearing every year!!!
Orthodoxy, like ALL religions, is a GRAND SHAM! We will never know if there was or is a 'god', but if there is, how do you explain all the pain and suffering, even of children, here on earth? NO benevolent 'god' would allow this!
Moments before I read your response, I was contemplating about suffering in the world, as with children, and how God seems to permit it. There is no easy answer for this. I can only tell you that Eastern Orthodoxy is a faith based on suffering and struggling; it doesn't give us a cheerful picture of the world. Christ speaks to me through the Orthodox Church, and so I know that He exists and is truly God. The wisdom of God is beyond us. But Christians have a duty to help others as best they can.
With all due respect, HOW does Christ exactly 'speak' to you? I think it's safe to assume that when people say things like 'Jesus speaks through me', they probably mean that they feel a lot of hope and love for a situation or life in general. We need a LOT of love and hope in world gone awry! I sort of feel where you're coming from, having grown up Greek Orthodox, but not entirely embracing it.
I'm 24. I grew up Greek Orthodox, but only began embracing Orthodoxy as a sophomore in high school when I got a different Godfather who began teaching my younger brother and myself about the faith. Since I was a child, Christ, through the Orthodox liturgical/spiritual life, has allowed me to perceive, to a very minor degree, the uncreated divine energies of the Holy Spirit. And I'm an extremely proud and sinful person, but in His mercy, Christ does make His presence known to me.
I see. I'm in my 40's, and have grown tired and cynical of religion in general. The Greek Orthodox faith is very spiritual and steeped in tradition, BUT to me, it's also VERY dated, and like other religions, ultimately meaningless since MORTAL MEN wrote the Bible, and ALL religious books, tomes, and manuscripts. I find my 'life energy' and meaning through my family, friends, nature (including animals), love, respect, and music. If the concept of Jesus works for you, then that's cool.
That's true that mortal men both wrote and produced the books of the Bible. It's a matter of faith as to whether or not one believes the Holy Spirit guided them in this process. However, both the Orthodox Church and the New Testament, alike, make it clear that it is a woman, the Theotokos (a mortal woman), who, having been obedient to God, and thus rectifying the mistake of Eve, is the most honored and revered of all God's saints and even angels.
I appreciate the sources of your life energy because reading the writings of St. Silouan the Athonite, I learned how Christ's mercy is all-encompassing, and that we need to pray and show mercy towards all of creation, even demons! And so, in my prayers, I ask God to remember all people, plants, animals, insects, any other sort of organism, and all of His creation, and the angels, both good and bad. A Christian must show mercy and compassion towards all of creation.
Get real. If Christ's or God's 'mercy' is all-encompassing and good natured, then WHY WHY WHY would a benevolent God or son of God allow all the INTENSE pain and suffering, even of children, to occur? If there was or is a 'God', I don't believe it is a benevolent one. PROOF is here on Earth. Seriously.
I agree. The pain and suffering of the innocent in this world is beyond horrible, and it makes one question God's mercy. But humans were not made for this corrupted world. To quote the Orthodox Church of America: "It is the teaching of the Church that those who are innocently victimized by sickness, such as small children and retarded people, are certain to be saved in the Kingdom of God."
But why would not a supposedly benevolent 'God' create a world that is not 'corrupted' as you say? He/it has the power to do so, no? Many people DO live good lives, and die 'unscathed', with no real suffering, and a life of completeness and joy. Why can't EVERYONE have such a life? Can't God do this?
God did create the world uncorrupted, and sharing in His glory. God's infinite love and mercy is displayed by the fact that He gave angels and humans the ultimate gift, free will. Adam and Eve abused this gift, and humanity, as a result, shares the consequences of their actions. All sickness and sorrow in the world is from the Devil and his demons. And God loves them just as He loves us humans. But if God were to stop the fallen angels from tempting us, He'd be violating their free will.
You state: "But humans were not made for this corrupted world". THEN WHY THE FUCK DID SOME 'GOD' SUPPOSEDLY PUT US HERE??!! IS THIS SOME PERVERSE GAME HE/IT IS PLAYING??!! See, you religious nutcases (all religions) are insane! The things you say are so utterly illogical, and prove your inner turmoil and confusion. Get a clue!
A 'god' did not put us here. We EVOLVED over time. That has been scientifically PROVEN more than ever now, with DNA proof! I used to be Greek Orthodox. It's OK to no longer believe in ancient myths. Really it is.
sophiegromit, first of all, I discuss Holy Orthodoxy with interested people on nearly a daily basis. A friend of mine who loves the Faith so much may soon convert. Now, if you want to discuss these matters with me, this hostility of yours--the source of which I have no idea--is unacceptable. Christ even said not to discuss the Faith with people who don't want to listen. Second of all, where did the components to make evolution and the Big Bang possible come from?
It is not God who has created evil, it is ourselves who voluntarily step in it. we act evil precisely BECAUSE we ignore God and want to behave as we wish, falling victims to our passions, desires, greed, etc. We live in a society of 'super-heroes,' where the hero is expected by all who have lost all hope to do anything to come and save us. Christ is precisely NOT a super-hero. It is first of all up to OURSELVES to receive the grace and participate in our own salvation.
(to continue the previous post)Chrsit's salvation is not a one way street, it is a relationship, as a lover loves the beloved. If not, if Christ's salvation was coming from a single source, it would be pointless to be called humans, since we would have no free will. God's grace is ever present, encompassing all, as the air that we breathe. But as nobody can force you to breathe, no one can force men to receive the grace, otherwise it would be done under violence.
(end) So long as we willingly choose to refuse the grace, as we may freely refuse to eat certain food, or to breathe, we will be blind, and we will continue to do evil.
I saw the Virgin Marys Snakes August,1969, and then again the year August, 2002.
I believe is a Miracle!!!

WHAT is the point of asking for things you know you won't get?... some "logic"...

Obviously, you NEED to 'take it slowly', given your low I.Q.! I don't hate Christianity per se... I just am concerned at how it stifles clear thinking and progress, for the most part. "The world of God" is an 'empty sentence'... 'mental masturbation', if you will. Because MORTAL HUMANS wrote EVERY religious book there ever was. Not a 'god', and not any other 'fairy tale' character. PEOPLE wrote it. So how the fuck can it be 'holy'???!!! Come on dude, PLEASE come back to REALITY!

Your stupid question is moot. The 'components' were part of space matter. If you claim a complex 'god' is responsible, then where the fuck did 'god' come from???!!! THAT is the more valid, introspective question. Don't give me your typical uncritical christian 'copout' answer such as, "god always was"!

Bullshit MALAKA! I am Greek, and ex Greek Orthodox, so I know. I am all for the good things Christianity does (such as help the ill... help the poor, etc.), BUT let's face it... you don't need religion to help others. In fact, ALL religions are a waste of time, energy, and money that could be used in other ways to help humanity move forward. Agnosticism/atheism is GROWING anyway.

sophiegromit, I'm not sure if my previous message got posted. Anyway, but what did Bill Maher have to say about Orthodoxy, in particular? How did he critique it?

Bill Maher thinks (correctly) that ALL religions are bullshit, and based on myths and delusions.
sophiegromit 2 years ago
sophiegromit, in other words, he doesn't mention the Orthodox Church...he probably knows little or nothing about it, too. And Orthodoxy isn't a religion, it's a way of life...it's the cure for religion. When you were Greek Orthodox, you were New Calendar, am I right?
ICXCNIKA 2 years ago
I don't believe (pun intended!) he mentions the Orthodox Church, but does it really matter? He mentions the Catholic Church, and frankly, ALL Christianity is absurd! WHY would a perfect, all-knowing 'god' not create us the way he did, and expect us to be 'perfect', and send his 'son' to 'save us'???!!! This story is a huge FAIRY TALE! Also, 'new calendar', 'old calendar'... it doesn't matter. Time is a physical continuum that proves nothing, especially when segmented into human lengths.
sophiegromit 2 years ago
sophiegromit, twice I've heard the saying, "The Orthodox Church is the best kept secret in America." Of course Bill Maher doesn't mention the Orthodox Church! How much can he possibly know about it?! There are 225-300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide. Orthodoxy is the second single largest confession of Christianity on the planet. Why are so many people unfamiliar with it? Were you Old or New Calendar? And do you know the difference?

sophiegromit, well, I'm New Calendar, and I intend to become Old Calendar. So, I, for one, care about this. A human can live to about 120 years, right? The Bible says God gave humans a grace period of 120 years to come to repentance. Coincidence? Our time on earth is brief; our time in eternity is forever. A Christian, thus, needs to be merciful to others, while maintaining a prayerful relationship with Christ.

Actually, Bill Maher knows that there the legions of agnostics and atheists are growing in the world. More and more are realizing that so many religions are ancient, outdated 'fairy tales' and myths. It is more HONEST and HUMBLE to say "we just don't know if there ever was, or is, a 'god'." That is a powerful and eloquent statement.
sophiegromit 2 years ago
to just say "we don't know if there ever was, or is, a 'God'." means just as nothing as saying there is/isn't a God. No proof for either side has been proven. So why bother to even leave that kind of comment?
DimitriNakos 2 years ago
No, actually it is different. If one has no proof of the past or present existence of a 'superior being', then 'God' really has no importance in one's life. IF 'God' is real, then 'God' should manifest itself to us humans in a direct, unquestionable way. It has not.

Just because you want 'God' to come and save the world like superman doesn't make it not real. Stop personifying 'God'.

"How infantile!"... What a smart way to end a debate by belittling people. Your theory is just as valid as mine. Your theory is just as unproven as mine. Thats why they are theories.

I like Bill Maher; his stand-up routine is funny. The few time I've seen "Real Time With Bill Maher", I liked it. I'm curious to know, in his film, how does he depict the Orthodox Church? In a good light or a bad light? Just in general, in how much detail does his discuss Orthodoxy?

Believing in miracles is a matter of faith. No one should be pushed to believe or to not beleive. Assuming there is a god it would not make sense for him to compel people to beleive in him. People who are seeking Hard evidence of god would not beleive even if they saw it, this is why miracles remain obscure. Logical and intelligence will still not explain why we exist. People who resort to logic and intelligence have effectively appointed themselves as God and are not true atheists.

Orthodoxy, like ALL religions, is a GRAND SHAM! We will never know if there was or is a 'god', but if there is, how do you explain all the pain and suffering, even of children, here on earth? NO benevolent 'god' would allow this!
sophiegromit 3 years ago
Moments before I read your response, I was contemplating about suffering in the world, as with children, and how God seems to permit it. There is no easy answer for this. I can only tell you that Eastern Orthodoxy is a faith based on suffering and struggling; it doesn't give us a cheerful picture of the world. Christ speaks to me through the Orthodox Church, and so I know that He exists and is truly God. The wisdom of God is beyond us. But Christians have a duty to help others as best they can.
ICXCNIKA 3 years ago
With all due respect, HOW does Christ exactly 'speak' to you? I think it's safe to assume that when people say things like 'Jesus speaks through me', they probably mean that they feel a lot of hope and love for a situation or life in general. We need a LOT of love and hope in world gone awry! I sort of feel where you're coming from, having grown up Greek Orthodox, but not entirely embracing it.
sophiegromit 3 years ago
I'm 24. I grew up Greek Orthodox, but only began embracing Orthodoxy as a sophomore in high school when I got a different Godfather who began teaching my younger brother and myself about the faith. Since I was a child, Christ, through the Orthodox liturgical/spiritual life, has allowed me to perceive, to a very minor degree, the uncreated divine energies of the Holy Spirit. And I'm an extremely proud and sinful person, but in His mercy, Christ does make His presence known to me.
ICXCNIKA 3 years ago
I see. I'm in my 40's, and have grown tired and cynical of religion in general. The Greek Orthodox faith is very spiritual and steeped in tradition, BUT to me, it's also VERY dated, and like other religions, ultimately meaningless since MORTAL MEN wrote the Bible, and ALL religious books, tomes, and manuscripts. I find my 'life energy' and meaning through my family, friends, nature (including animals), love, respect, and music. If the concept of Jesus works for you, then that's cool.
sophiegromit 3 years ago
That's true that mortal men both wrote and produced the books of the Bible. It's a matter of faith as to whether or not one believes the Holy Spirit guided them in this process. However, both the Orthodox Church and the New Testament, alike, make it clear that it is a woman, the Theotokos (a mortal woman), who, having been obedient to God, and thus rectifying the mistake of Eve, is the most honored and revered of all God's saints and even angels.
ICXCNIKA 3 years ago
I appreciate the sources of your life energy because reading the writings of St. Silouan the Athonite, I learned how Christ's mercy is all-encompassing, and that we need to pray and show mercy towards all of creation, even demons! And so, in my prayers, I ask God to remember all people, plants, animals, insects, any other sort of organism, and all of His creation, and the angels, both good and bad. A Christian must show mercy and compassion towards all of creation.
ICXCNIKA 3 years ago
Get real. If Christ's or God's 'mercy' is all-encompassing and good natured, then WHY WHY WHY would a benevolent God or son of God allow all the INTENSE pain and suffering, even of children, to occur? If there was or is a 'God', I don't believe it is a benevolent one. PROOF is here on Earth. Seriously.
sophiegromit 3 years ago
I agree. The pain and suffering of the innocent in this world is beyond horrible, and it makes one question God's mercy. But humans were not made for this corrupted world. To quote the Orthodox Church of America: "It is the teaching of the Church that those who are innocently victimized by sickness, such as small children and retarded people, are certain to be saved in the Kingdom of God."
ICXCNIKA 3 years ago
But why would not a supposedly benevolent 'God' create a world that is not 'corrupted' as you say? He/it has the power to do so, no? Many people DO live good lives, and die 'unscathed', with no real suffering, and a life of completeness and joy. Why can't EVERYONE have such a life? Can't God do this?
sophiegromit 3 years ago
God did create the world uncorrupted, and sharing in His glory. God's infinite love and mercy is displayed by the fact that He gave angels and humans the ultimate gift, free will. Adam and Eve abused this gift, and humanity, as a result, shares the consequences of their actions. All sickness and sorrow in the world is from the Devil and his demons. And God loves them just as He loves us humans. But if God were to stop the fallen angels from tempting us, He'd be violating their free will.
ICXCNIKA 3 years ago
You state: "But humans were not made for this corrupted world". THEN WHY THE FUCK DID SOME 'GOD' SUPPOSEDLY PUT US HERE??!! IS THIS SOME PERVERSE GAME HE/IT IS PLAYING??!!

sophiegromit, first of all, I discuss Holy Orthodoxy with interested people on nearly a daily basis. A friend of mine who loves the Faith so much may soon convert. Now, if you want to discuss these matters with me, this hostility of yours--the source of which I have no idea--is unacceptable. Christ even said not to discuss the Faith with people who don't want to listen. Second of all, where did the components to make evolution and the Big Bang possible come from?

It is not God who has created evil, it is ourselves who voluntarily step in it. we act evil precisely BECAUSE we ignore God and want to behave as we wish, falling victims to our passions, desires, greed, etc. We live in a society of 'super-heroes,' where the hero is expected by all who have lost all hope to do anything to come and save us. Christ is precisely NOT a super-hero. It is first of all up to OURSELVES to receive the grace and participate in our own salvation.
Lysandros 3 years ago
(to continue the previous post)Chrsit's salvation is not a one way street, it is a relationship, as a lover loves the beloved. If not, if Christ's salvation was coming from a single source, it would be pointless to be called humans, since we would have no free will. God's grace is ever present, encompassing all, as the air that we breathe. But as nobody can force you to breathe, no one can force men to receive the grace, otherwise it would be done under violence.

(end) So long as we willingly choose to refuse the grace, as we may freely refuse to eat certain food, or to breathe, we will be blind, and we will continue to do evil.
