What I like most about the Bible is how people always have to explain everything it says at length, modifying what is said in the text as they see fit to explain phenomena that the guys who wrote could obviously not understand for what they actually where because of a lack of scientific knowledge.

If that book really did have all the answers, no one would have to comment on it, for it would have imposed itself by and of itself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quote:

The the term God helps us imagine an entity that has complete mastery of all aspects of reality, not just of what we we can measure.
A God could wind the clock forward on matter for the purpose of our current state of comfort.
Consider again the application of pursuing this idea. Toxic waste could be "aged" to meet safety requirements. Stockpiles of nuclear waste processed for some other purpose.

If it were so, then why wouldn't he have done something about the already existing nuclear waste?

If there is a God, you have to accept that everything that goes on has already been foreseen by him and that there is no reason to worry about anything. If you admit that he should change some things, then your saying he wasn't able to make everything perfect on the first try and your admitting that he has faults, in which case he can't be the all-ruling and all-powerful entity of which you speak.

Either way, wasting your time imploring him to fix everything that is wrong for us instead of doing something about it yourself (i.e. through research, in this specific case towards ways of handling nuclear waste to make it less dangerous to living beings) serves you in nothing more than it serves us.


you should really give it up. It's getting old.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Romans didn't inflict their mythology onto the Jews, the Egyptians, or even Christians. There are unfortunate times in history where some so called Christians spat in the face of Jesus and tried to convert people by force. But the people who committed those grievous sins were not following the teachings of Jesus.

The United States was founded by Christian deists. You see it in the constitution, our currency, the pledge of allegiance, the justice system, etc. Is it safe to say that every American grows up to be a devout Christian? Not really.

Er no, but it would have been kind of a bit less likely that you would have become a christian if the Native Americans would have conquered and slaughtered most of the european/african christian population.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
