Do you think it is worthless to acknowledge God?

Question

"And because they thought it was worthless to acknowledge God, God allowed their own immoral minds to control them. So they do these indecent things:

Their lives are filled with all kinds of sexual sins, wickedness, and greed. They are mean. They are filled with envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, haughty, arrogant, and boastful.

They think up new ways to be cruel. They don't obey their parents, don't have any sense, don't keep promises, and don't show love to their own families or mercy to others."
- Romans 1:28-31

Answer 1

I know that nothing great is possible with out God. I know that to acknowledge God is to acknowledge the One who created me and gave me life, I know that it is right to acknowledge Him and give Thanks every chance you get. For if it wasn't for God, we would be nothing, have nothing, and be worthless! God is Great.

Answer 2

It is as worthless to acknowledge god as to acknowledge the FSM created god.

Therefore if you acknowledge god you must also acknowledge the fact the FSM created god and the invisible giant oven created the FSM and the golden steel created the oven and ..... etc etc. Else you will go to hell.


"And because they thought it was worthless to acknowledge the VERY TRUTH FACT the Great FSM created God and the all merciless merciful one allowed god to use his own immoral minds to control them. So they do these indecent things:

Their lives are filled with all kinds of sexual sins, wickedness, and greed. They are mean. They are filled with envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of FSM, haughty, arrogant, and boastful.

They think up new ways to be cruel. They don't obey their parents, don't have any sense, don't keep promises, and don't show love to their own families or mercy to others."
- Pizza-house 1:23-45

What gives you the idea your fallacy is above others?

Answer 3

Everyone enjoys sexual sins, regardless of beliefs in deities.
I am not wicked. I have saved more lives than I can count and have taken none.
Actually, the less Christian I became, the less materialistic I became.
Not envious.
Never murdered.
Everyone argues.
Everyone lies.
I'm not violent.
I don't gossip.
I don't slander.
Not believing is not the same as hating.
I'm capable of being humble.
Everyone is.
Actually, I think the Catholic Inquisition did that.
I do obey my parents.
I do have sense.
I do keep promises.
I do show love to my family.
I do show mercy to others.


Sounds like Paul never did any research.

Is this where the whole "atheists don't have morals!!!111" thing comes from?

Answer 4

sound like every country in the world so how to stop it even Christians get divorce. we are not Immune to anything I used to acknowledge him but he never heard me. Fasting praying everything you could think of I did it. Seriously I step out into the real world and saw that no matter what you believe God cannot help you. Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami the floods in Asia the fighting it the middle East, all of it no matter what their faith those victims died. None of them deserved it but when it comes it comes God can't stop anyone from doing evil deeds. I really wish he could then he would have heard my prayers and my wife would not be with another man. The bible says God hates Divorce yeah my so called Christian wife did not head the holy spirit. now I think the stuff is crazy. people are people so stop trying to preach God left the building already. Just be nice to others and respect everybody belief that will more wise

Answer 5

Since man has begun believing in this particular God, several things have happened to advance our intellect. One being the discovery that the world is not flat. Another being the discovery that the earth is not the center of the universe.

Do you see how primitive the ancient people were? Sure, no matter how advanced a civilization has become, they still turn to a deity to answer the questions they simply cannot. Those answers are out there. They lie just beyond the reach of our instruments. We will have these answers in time, and all this psycho-babble about God and who he loves better will be at an end.

Answer 6

God, the Devil, Religion, they all serve their purpose. Think about it, religion teaches us that to love anything that we can enjoy i.e. food=gluttony, sex=lust, than it is a sin and you will go to hell. Unless you love god you have a one way ticket downstairs. Anyways in the ancient days the people needed some kind of guidance, because what's the point of doing good if their are no repercussions like hell. The more you read the bible, the more you will realize how much it contradicts itself. Keep asking questions my friend and don't be so naive either. Follow your heart, and YOU decide whether their is a god or not. Personally, My life is full fo coincidences and predictions. Good on you for asking.

Answer 7

In those days that might have made a lot of people afraid enough to lie to their children about the retribution of disobeying their god they made up to scare children, but these days people are a little more savvy.

Reasonable people don't do bad things for one perfectly obvious reason and one perfectly obvious reason only: it's bad for business. If any of us want to live, prosper and succeed then we have to refuse to initiate force against each other, practice fair and transparent trade, and mind our own business. Otherwise we all fail.

Criminals break these rules because they are stupid. Nothing more, nothing less. Christians break these rules, by obeying really old rules like the ones you wrote about, because they are afraid.

Answer 8

That quote replaced into relating to the few human beings around Jesus on the time. The disciples etc. In a e book written an prolonged time in the past and translated until the meaning of multiple it has replaced. i does not take it actually on the instant. everybody who says he's chosen via God, with no need the ability to teach a signed affidavit from the Almighty, has delusions of grandeur.

Answer 9

That is utter nonsense. All you are saying is that if we all believed in God the world would be so much better. Well how come priests molest kids, radical islamists kill innocent people, and those wacky fundies protest dead soldier funerals? Goodness comes from inside of you, not some book or some magician in the sky.

Answer 10

For that to mean anything, I have to believe that it's true, and I don't.

Do you think it's worthless to acknowledge Santa Claus?

He's got a list and he's checking it twice, I think you'll be on the naughty list for not acknowledging him.

To me, it's the same thing. The only difference is that your myth is propagated as true.

Answer 11

I think anyone who has held a new born child in their arms knows the answer to this one. How can you look into those eyes and not acknowledge god after all he gave us.
