My Beliefs- GDR

Maybe the soldiers had some hot dates that night. Or perhaps they had so many cruxifixions scheduled they needed the cross sooner than later. Lumber was at a all time scarcity since Rome came to town with their cruxifixion practices.

Tangle,
My dear sweet mother was sending money to a tel-evangalist.I told her that the guy was swindling her and millions of others of their hard earned money.To which she replied, It is not a question of what they do with the money, but that she gave.

I'm for you sir. I have given up trying to explain to dyed in the wool believers that some shit dont add up. Like the Trinity for example. 1+1+1=1I haven't come out and stated "I do not believe in God."But that is because I am afraid he might exist and smite me.

Hi GDR,I always thought that the point of the first council of Nicea was to hammer out once and for all:Jesus is one with the Father same substance.This was because Bishop Arias was teaching that Jesus was not.The church had to perserve the idea of a one God and not the worship of 3 gods. Which would make early Christians pantheist.So the Nicean creed was putting this concept to rest.
aka the Catholic profesion of faith.

Hi GDR,I respect your beliefs.That is why you labled this thread"My Beliefs"We all believe things, we must to function in this world. Everything just about is taken on faith because we can not possiby verify every single fact.The difference I think is that some people choose to believe things simply because that is what they want to do. They want to believe and therefore they do, dispite anything to the contrary. It gives them sense of comfort, belonging and fellowship. It is deeply rooted in tradition and the past and gives promise for the future.It is a matter of personal choice to believe or not to believe.
Evidence or no evidence, that makes no difference it seems.
All that matters is what one feels inside.
Otherwise one can become conflicted.I leave you with the words of Polonius from Hamlet.
"To thine ownself be true."

You mean to tell me women are natural? Whoa.
