maybe youre fucking stupid?

[daniellos333]

you are definitely "a taker"

I know your a skeptic or athiest all together,just sit down in a quiet park somewhere on a sat or sun morning,look at the trees,the water,listen to the birds and ask yourself,"is this all by chance?The Bible says,"be transformed by the renewal of your understanding so that you may know the good and perfect will of God".His will,is for all of his creation to serve him.You will not understand it now but when he returns, "he will gather his elect(all that believed)and he will show them everthing!!

@blessedwildapplegirl Learn to be concise! I don't talk for everybody but I don't believe in spirits or anything to do with spiritualism, so I can't have a spiritual truth ... 2+2=4 isn't spiritual truth, it's just truth.

You seem to be living in a very grey world,. Most people live in a black and white, it's either /or ... you seem to live in grey, sat on the fence a lot.

You say you are Christian but you sound much more like an agnostic theist, there probably is a god but nobody knows

[blessedwildapplegirl]

one last thing- the concept of god is the concept of truth. and you may throw scientific facts everywhere,and i won't deny them,but the truth i'm talking about is the spiritual truth you derive from those scientific facts.you see vibrations,you see laws of attraction?what does that mean to you?does it imply a truth that binds all life together?maybe some people call that internal understanding of love "God." and why shouldn't they?Noble Truths ought to be appreciated as holy.Existence is holy.

who was it who said "if you love god,burn a church?" ....you can't base your spiritual beliefs on the small-mindedness of others.yes,people are drawn to organized religion for many reasons.but consider that perhaps god disapproves of organized religion.perhaps GOD IS A CONCEPT, and not a bearded man in the clouds.open your mind,squee-gee your third eye,and look God in the face.maybe god is the miracle of this endless sea of energy.maybe the Big Bang is just another phrasing of Creation.

[blessedwildapplegirl]

ever consider that the bible,albeit flawed as it was written by man and revised by males over and over again,could have something like poetic merit?do you approach william blake as if he were making scientific claims?"flowers don't talk!" would that seem educated to you?or maybe,just maybe,there is symbolic meaning in the myths,like how cupid and psyche aren't literal beings on mt.olympus,but their story is basically how the heart became connected to the soul,and i believe that story is(1 of 2)
