Re: A Tall Order For Anyone

But I'm not asking *you* to give up anything more than your rational mind and to place trust in an invisible and un-evidenced God. You are asking me to give up my shelter and all of my possessions. And yes that's a tall order for anyone.
What is interesting to me is that Phat and the Apologists ask folk to give up their rational mind and to place trust in an invisible and un-evidenced God yet neither Phat or ANY Apologist is willing to give up their rational mind and to place trust in an invisible and un-evidenced God. If they did then they would all be socialists just like Jesus and the Apostles.
It is classic CCoI compartmentalization and willing failure to honestly address what they say and write.

Re: The Bill will get paid
Phat does not trust God. The Apologists do not trust God. They both just lie about trusting God.

Re: The Bill will get paid
You said that you do not trust people who do not trust God.
Did you trust God to pay your debts?
Do you trust God to take care of you if you lose your job or are homeless?
Do you trust God to heal your ills?
Do you give up your rational mind and to place trust in an invisible and un-evidenced God.
No Phat, you don't.
You don't give everything away, you count on getting paid by your employer and getting job protection from your union and medical care from doctors and hospitals and protection by the police and fire departments.
And you'd be stupid not to count on those things that are not invisible and unevidenced.
Are any of the things I point out misrepresentations of what you do and have done?
Are those things also not true of EVERY Apologist?

Re: My God Supplies All My Needs Indirectly
Did you say "But I'm not asking *you* to give up anything more than your rational mind and to place trust in an invisible and un-evidenced God. "
Are you willing to give up your rational mind and to place trust in an invisible and un-evidenced God?

No. I only say this to those who dont consider that God may be real.
Think about that Phat. Honestly think about what you post.

I try and trust Him more each day. I realize that I fall short. I don't expect Him to magically take care of me without changing my perspective.
