God is Imaginary

Yes DF the human intelligence God has given us...................... If we refuse to use it we will lose it.  Our human intelligence will someday allow regeneration of limbs I believe. We have to use our brains and not expect well being to drop out of the sky.

Proof #49 - Look at who speaks for God

In Christian mythology, God is supposed to the the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the universe. God is supposed to have incarnated himself as Jesus and he is supposed to have written the Bible. And yet today God is completely and absolutely silent. Therefore, the only thing we hear from God comes from people who are speaking on his behalf.

If you would like to understand how imaginary God is, all that you have to do is listen to God's spokespeople, because in many cases these people are lunatics. If there actually were a God, and if he actually had anything to do with love, he would silence these people because they are an absolute embarrassment.

If God were real, he would speak for himself. The fact that God does not speak, and that he allows any lunatic who comes along to speak "in his name," shows us that God is quite imaginary.

 

__________

And if He is all-powerful, all-knowing, why send someone like Bill Gray, Hippie Girl, & Gingee to speak for him, especially when they are doing such a bad job of it? Why would he need anyone at all?

 

(of course, we all know who sent Bill Gray)

Yes, suh, master, suh!

Buffalo, there's not enough time in the world to wait until your or your bunches brains kick in. I don't think there's enough "brain energy" among all of you to even make a spark.

 

Well, see now, that's my point.  We humans have figured out, in some part, how nature works.  We're using it to our advantage.

 

god never did that for us. Because there is no god.

 

 

DF

 

Anyone who has ever raised children, or even been around young people going through their teens and early adult years -- will recognize that in your statement above. 

 

Have you ever noticed how young people, when they do something -- will firmly believe they conceived this idea?  I cannot tell you how many times I have said, and have heard others say, to our children, "My love, you did not invent that.  I did it when I was a teenager.  My dad did it when he was a teeenager.  And, I am sure my grandfathers tried the same thing in their young days." 

 

As we are told in God's Word:

 

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10, "That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done.  So there is nothing new under the sun.  Is there anything of which one might say, 'See this, it is new'?  Already it has existed for ages Which were before us."

 

So, Deep, my Friend, when you tell us of those great scientific discoveries -- that is not new to God.  He has known all of this all along.  He is just now making it possible for people such as you to discover what He has always known.

 

And, like our children when they think they have had a world shaking breakthrough -- to you we must say the same thing, "God has been there, done that!  What's new?"

 

Deep, if you really want to be wise -- put down all your science journals -- and pick up a Bible.  It's all there, if YOU are wise enough to find it.

 

And, in closing, my dear Friend.  I know that you do not read my writings anymore -- for you have conceded that God's Word, the Bible, is right -- even though you will not publicly admit it.  So, I do not expect a response from you.  But, I am sure some of our Friends will get a chuckle out of your teenage arrogance.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Why are you miserable, deluded atheists trying to drag others into the abyss with you? 

I'm far from miserable or deluded, I don't know any miserable deluded atheists, and I certainly don't know of any "abyss" any atheist is trying to drag anyone into.

WNR

 

There is no abyss, we are only trying to claw our way out of that religious cesspool where y'all wallow. Once we can rest assured that our children will be taught the validity of the knowledge obtained through scientific observation. When everyone has the right to love those they love without threats of unequal treatment, being incarcerated, physicial violence, or social disdain. When the word charity means helping the needy instead of supporting hatred and bigotry. When religions finally quit drawing a bias line through human behavior. When that cesspool drys up, and adults learn they shouldn't "believe" in childish fairy tales, then I'll lighten up...i don't know about the rest of them though.

Best it is obvious you are miserable; otherwise you would be out enjoying SIN FOR A SEASON rather than spending ever day and night on here posting.

Gee buff, you need to keep up. I think I made 6 or 7 short posts yesterday, and I wasn't even here for a few hours. I work for a living, unlike you I don't get government handouts. And unlike you, I can read and post on a newspaper forum for about 15 minutes a day without it throwing off my entire schedule. I know it must interfere with your naps. I'll leave the "sinning" all to you, you seem to have it down pat. BTW, which are you this time-male or female??

Proof #53 - Think about Marriage as described in the Bible

Most Christians consider marriage to be a sacred act created by God in the Bible. For example, on this page you can see Rick Warren stating: "I'm opposed to redefinition of a 5,000 year definition of marriage." At many weddings you will hear a Bible passage like Genesis 2:24 used to show God's view of marriage:

 

There is also the commandment that forbids adultery. If digging deeper, a Christian might selectively pull out other verses from places like Ephesians, as described in this article:

What Does the Bible Say About Marriage?

In doing this, however, the Christian is ignoring the rich tapestry of marriage types condoned by God and the Bible.

For example, there are many examples of polygamy in the Bible, all of them condoned by God. King David, for example, had many wives. Seven of his wives are listed in 1 Chronicles 3:1-5. In Acts 13:22 God says, "'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do." And many other characters in the Bible had two or more wives, including Jacob.

The case of Jacob (described in Genesis chapters 28, 29 and 30) is fascinating because it shows several other attributes of Biblical marriage. For example, Jacob earns his wife as payment for seven years of work done. It is a contract between Jacob and the woman's father – the woman is mere property in a transaction and has no say in the matter.

However, the man that Jacob is working for tricks Jacob by giving him the wrong sister, and corrects the problem by letting Jacob work for another seven years for the second daughter. Now Jacob has two wives.

But the second sister is barren. So the second sister gives Jacob her slave to sleep with and have a child. All of this is done as part of God's plan and with God's active intervention (for example, God makes the second sister barren).

This idea of giving a slave to be a child-bearer for a barren wife is also seen in Genesis 16.

Clearly God is fine with Polygamy, as well as with sexual relationships with slaves.

In Deuteronomy 21:11-13 another form of Biblical marriage is described. Female prisoners of war can be taken as wives without the woman's consent:

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 offers another, even more vile, path to marriage:

This law appears not once but twice in the Bible. It is repeated in Exodus 22:16:

Note that, according to the Bible, the only valid marriage is to a woman who is a virgin. This law is laid down in Deuteronomy chapter 22, verse 13 through 21. If a woman is not a virgin, she must be put to death.

Also note that, if a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both man and woman must be put to death, as described in Deuteronomy 22:22:

Why do Christians ignore all of these other forms of marriage, which are quite clearly allowed in the Bible? Why do Christians not kill people who break the commandment forbidding adultery as the Bible demands? Because God is imaginary. If God were real, Christians would do what the Bible actually tells them to do.

To any rational person standing outside of Christianity, the Bible's position on marriage proves God to be imaginary because the Bible is so obviously ridiculous.

[Note - Even in the United States, the definition of marriage and the rights of marriage partners have changed dramatically over the years. For example, interracial marriage was illegal in the United States until the 1950s.

Hi Jennifer,

 

This is so typically atheist!   Post a long copy/paste -- with no link to validate what is written.  And, when I do Google and find the source -- the first thing I find is not true.  From the Facebook page of this reliable source:

 

Facebook was not in existence in 1989.

 

And, when I visit their web site -- NOWHERE on that web site can we find who has written all of these illuminating articles.   In other words, "We are anonymous, afraid to disclose our identity -- but, trust us anyway!"   DUH!

 

Jennifer, if you have any proof that God does not exist -- other than anonymous atheists; please share it with us.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

I worked with this guy once that went home after work to find his wife

in bed with another woman. He thought that was a great idea and

started to come out of his clothes, they both got out of the bed saying,

oh no you don't, she packed a bag and they both left the house.

Ain't love a funny thing.

 

Real funny. Funny too what others think other people should and shouldn't do, but they're "allowed" to do as they want. They want to commit adultery, as defined in a book, they do it. They want to use that same book against someone else, they feel fine about doing that. 

Hey, what happened to the gong show?

C&G sez: 

Theists have a preconceived notion every time: God did it.  This does nothing to help the situation.  This sheds no light onto our knowledge of Nature.

 

If I didn't have two hands, it would be because of a well known reason, a birth defect.  Birth defects are natural, a matter of statistics.

 

If the creator intended us to use unprejudiced knowledge, why don't churches use their influence to teach parishioners methods to seek the unvarnished, objective truths about Nature?  They don't, they stress superstitious substitutions instead.

 

Science asks questions about nature and then explores the questions, letting the conclusions follow the evidence.  Religions start with conclusions and try to pound the square pegs of evidence into the round holes of religious preconception.

 

I suggest an experiment:  Take off your god glasses for a week. See if you can put them back on.  You'll see that the world is no different for there being no gods.

 

DF

See if you can talk him into taking off that "crazy hat" for a while.

I'm serious about the god glasses.  When one takes them off, even experimentally, the world works the same.

 

DF

Nsns I have taken them off from time to time- during low points in my life... I will admit I closed the door on god. I was distressed and even more depressed. Turning back to God gave me comfort and solace. Take it for what it is- one persons experience. But my life when I "let go and let God" is much more peaceful. Just my experience, and that is real- nobody can change my heart and who resides there;-) Peace to u my friend

==============

I was serious too. Good luck with that. You won't have much luck getting them to give up that crutch. Funny thinking-once more-hard times from that god they believe in, terrible things happening-they cling tighter/closer to the very one that says, "love me, believe in me, or I'll hurt you. Well actually I'll still hurt you even if you believe in and love me, but you have to be tested from time to time doncha know." Every time I hear someone say god tested them I want to toss my cookies. It's like people who abuse children and then cry that they're good parents and love those children. What do believers think-their god is just having a bad day when he does those awful things??
