Religion & Spirituality - 13 October 2006

The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history.
-Lazarus Long, Time Enough for Love

Agree or disagree?

This is what it says....
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us (<) make man in our (<) image, after our (<) likeness.

Why is it in plurl form?
There are no angels even made in the creation, so that can't be it.
There is no trinty mentioned in the Genesis so that can't be it either.


Maybe the 'angels' made us, since there is no day that says "on the eighth day God made aliens/angels"?


And also the earth and waters were made on day zero, there is no such thing as day zero.
And yes a day is a day, because a thousand years is like a day, and a day is like a thousand years.
1day=1,000 years
1,000years=1day
Then
1day=1day
Even so, on the third day trees were made, on the fourth day the sun was made.
Vegetion needs the sun to live.

God said I BOTH (2Times) glorified it and will glorify it again.

The bible says most do not notice that there was a earth 'of old' covered with water, that means that Satan has ruined 2 Paradises.

And also, how about the converse? Does the non-existance of a creater necessarily implies that life does not have meaning? Isn't meaning just subjective?

It has been proven over and over scientifically...Stephen Hawking proved it the last time using the theory of black matter and the polar energy spectrum analysis compound.

God did not create humans as an image of him. Mr. Rogers created humans...Mr. Rogers is the creator, the father, and the sniper (if you believe everything you read...you are Christians so you MUST!!)...Seriously, if you were born after March, 1972. There is a 90% chance that Mr. Rogers is your father. God is an innocent bystander, but she appreciates your churches and your praise...

Not sure what to do...check my other post for answers...

First off I respect your decision in being an Atheist i'm not here to bash your beliefs or tell you your wrong. I just want to know something. Have you ever had a feeling or thought that there's more to life than what can be seen, touched or maybe even rationalized? Or have you ever had a longing to seek something beyond your grasp or perception? Lemme know, thanks.

1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

In Exodus20;13 It says You shall not murder. In Exodus22;18 It says Don not allow a sorceress to live. Chapter 20 is referring to the 10 Commandments and 22 is referring to social responsiblilities. They seem like the same thing, but contradictions of one another. This is just one of many contradictions I find in the bible. I was wondering if it was because Constantine added his own stuff to get Christians to follow him in war, or if it was a human error in humans writing the bible. Your knowledge in helping me understand this better would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

The word PITHY has been bandied about here a lot lately. I thought someone had a lisp and was saying pissy, but I looked it up and it means succinct, pointed, meaty, concise. I like pithy! See, I can learn things from R&S!
