Re: 16 Years Later. Reflections On A Thought Process
The end is not nigh and I can't find anyone that cares enough about what you believe to persecute you. I'm really sorry, I know how much you want it.

So says the late Stephen Hawking. He claimed to imagine a universe where God is unnecessary. It appears that he himself is now unnecessary.
That's beneath even you.
However, his ideas will influence many generations of physicists and change our understanding of the universe forever.
I believe that he and others, brilliant people all, have it wrong.
Oh gosh, who should I side with? I know, someone who has a fucking clue.

Re: Remix: Answering jars question
Doom, doom, doom ... we're all doomed. The desperate have shouted it down the centuries.
Sorry Phat you're going to be disapointed like all the other idiots (I can't call them prophets) of doom - millions of them down the ages all needing it really badly. Nobody is going to persecute you, nobody is creating a global religion and nobody is going to save you. Nobody is interested. Sorry.
But you know, enjoy your fantasy.

You've never thought through the implications of that 'not all of us' bit have you?

That's just the usual 'I believe' garbage with added logical absurdity.
How can the billions of people that have never heard of the bible, Jesus and all the rest of the claptrap fight it? There's nothing to fight. How can those that once believed as you did fight it? It's a really dumb thing to say.
You just swallow all the hogwash recycle it and refuse to actually THINK. I dunno maybe you can't.

I believe they will be judged based only on what they know.
But that is not what you said, nor has it got anything to do with fighting. Any it's just more 'I believe' bunkum.
What do you mean? Explain what it is that they are to be fighting and what you perceive to be the way that I myself once believed?
They are your words, why not read them?

Apparently those are our only choices. It's total cobblers.

No, it originates with the statement you made that precedes it.

I asked you to think about what that means. Not all of us I mean really think about it.
Some not others.

OK. I am thinking about it. All that it means to me is that not everyone chose Him.
You weren't talking about choice, you were talking about the Holy friggin' Spirit communing with some (including you) but not others.
Phat writes:

Are you demanding that He let everyone in the front door? Who do you think you are...nevermind God? With that kind of thinking, why are only some let in your front door?
I'm demanding that you think about what you said means. Do you think there is justice in this spirit of yours only talking to some people but not to others?
And please don't give me all that embarrassing guff about needing to 'open my heart to the message'. This spirit of yours seems to talk to anyone he feels like without consent - ask S/Paul of Tarsus.

He does not. If he/it ever did there'd be no atheists and everyone would be a Christian.

Self evidently he does not. I tend to know when people are talking to me.

Certainly few hear a voice. And that includes the majority of those that believe in him. They have a one way conversation.
This is not His fault unless you claim that His goal should have been to save everybody, free will be damned.
He wasn't very particular about free will when he impregnated Mary, blinded Paul, raised Lazarus, fed 5,000 and resurrected himself was he? He's pretty bloody forward when he wants to be.
You think god actually talks to you. If he does, in your terms, he's violated your free will and he's not acting the same with the guy next door. He's discriminating.
I've no idea why you thought it worth posting the rest of your post.

I believed and was changed---transformed---and yes....chosen.
It's called a delusion. They common psychological events. When the don't involve religion, we generally recommend medical help.
God doe not simply choose all people.
And you have never been able to explain why this is so, or even understand how, if what you say is true, that it's an incredibly evil idea.
They have to want to check their brains at His door and allow Him to use them as He wishes.
That's just moronic. Why the fuck would anyone sane do that?
You wont understand this now nor will anyone here at EvC but you will find it a plausible option when the world as you know it starts to crumble.
And there's the 'doom, doom, doom' cry that's always threatened but never arrives.
And Im not gleefully speaking death and negativity here. God does not threaten us to join Him or die.
Yet that's exactly what you say he is doing!
God simply is like oxygen. You need Him to live.
Evidentially and very obviously untrue. I'm doing well thanks. Along with billions of others that don't believe in your god and this kind of delusionary drivel.
