A matter of perspective

Views, statements, opinions, anybody?
Hey, ???! I certainly agree with you that religion should never be forced down someones throat. As a Believer, however, I will wing some of my spiritual concepts at you in here! Its all in good fun, though. My God loves everyone be they absolutist or atheist, Sinning Saint or skeptical enquirer.

EVC is good place to be to see both sides of our nature, the logical and the mythical.
Its all a matter of perspective,Larni. The God who is the origin of all creation is NOT the human mind. He imagined us long before we invented tales of religion.

In the context of "mythical", I would assert that mythical is not imaginary, as everything in the universe is NOT merely a product of our imaginations (nor even logical) but that the word unverifiable be the context discussed in Faith and Belief.

We can assert that they quite probably are not literal or even quite probably not true, if we so desire. We cannot assert that anything is impossible, however...for we simply do not know for sure.
Within the context of Faith and Belief, it is not the responsibility of a believer to provide objective evidence to a panel of observers, as it is in science. It is allowable for anyone to have a subjective belief in a reality which could quite possibly turn out to be otherwise!--- believe it or not.

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Pensées (1670)
We arrive at truth, not by reason only, but also by the heart.
Pensées (1670)
Heb 4:12-13-- For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Holy Spirit--speaking through the Apostle Paul
