A Question for Christians on God

[mothandrust]

Quote:There was a question asked and peoples responses given, - no more.
I read SE's post you guys might not like it, yet she didn't attack anyone personally in it.

well... it is true she didn't fire any individual gnostic/psychopath bullets, it was more like spraying the crowd. anyone who does not accept her (or her power structure's) version of Christ is labelled as inferior/deluded/psychopathic... and shot at. not with rational argument but insult and accusation. should one ignore it or expose it?

if psychopaths exist, I do not believe they are limited and exclusive to those outside Laine's dogma. I know kind and mean people from all walks of life, from a myriad of cultures and backgrounds, all making their way through life in the best way they know how. and, if one is looking for examples of psychopathy, the ones which come immediately to mind are the likes of Bush, Blair, Churchill, Henry VIII, Rodrigo Borgia, Simon IV de Montfort... all, without exception, Bible believing Christians:confused:

So the theories that you guys have of god in your mind are completely your own, no one else has written or spoken them ???
It is complete free thought, free of outside influence ???

i cannot speak for anyone else but my picture of God evolves as my understanding grows. in theory this occurs with every encounter i have and every breath i take. it is impossible to separate this from the whole of life, existence, yet, nevertheless, it is my, and only my, perspective. as I understand life, this is true for each and every living thing, for no two will have exactly the same genes, influences, dao, knowledge... and can therefore never replicate another right down to the very last thought. in fact, the only way one can argue for this clone-like mentality is through blind, slave-like subservience to the word of another, without question, ever.

So something must be proven to be believed ???
Can you prove that God is only in ones mind, that God is imaginary ???

:confused:no, actually belief is something beyond proof. proof (at least at a superficial/mechanical level) is what makes computers work – simple mathematical formulae. belief is unprovable, yet (theoretically) based on best guesses from one's life experiences/knowledge. and, although I cannot prove UT/God's existence, as things stand, I do not have a better explanation for life/existence/matter..., or love.

perhaps everything :biggrin:
