Hello psycho. I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for reaffirming my belief in Scriptures like 1 John. Your opinion is most appreciated! Have blessed day.

Atheism can only exist because God doesn't

if the existence of God could be established then Atheism would fall..but since a God could never prove it's existence then Atheism can only be perceive as being rational thinking

That is a great answer. thank you for sharing this.

People can believe in watever they want. I believe in myself. I can make a differance in my life!

God proved Himself repeatedly to His own people. Despite having seen the "Shekinah" (a cloud of white hot smoke that ascended into heaven), or the glory of God, they still fell into worshipping false gods. So I wonder, having the truth of the Bible which gave that example, even if God were to tap you on the shoulder, would you believe then? Because that same Bible says that you wouldn't. That is part of His all-knowing character. "Why waste the time" seems like the perfect sylligism against showing a people who wouldn't believe anyway. I could be wrong.

God is a myth. just look at ur life has God done anythin u prayed 4?

the bible even acknowledge that a God could never prove it's existence...that's why the bible quoted God's words to prove his existence as "I AM" ..saying or thinking "I AM" can only prove your own existence to yourself and noone else

I AM SAM I AM! if there is a GOD how come this world is messed up?

I am a christian. If you believe that you are reading these words, your sylligism just fell apart.

I believe in myself! People may think there is a GOD but wat has he done 4 u?

All that I require, but good question.

not really .. because those words "I AM" was written in the bible that supposely God used to prove an existence ..if "I AM" was were written in a spiderman comic book that wouldn't mean that spiderman existed to anyone but the one who wrote those words 'I AM"

He has done much .....tyvm

Psycho...

I wanted to address this comment from you, and the other similar ones ...



This statement presupposes the existence of a 'God' who plays an active role in human affairs.

What about those who do not believe this aspect of a 'God'???

Does this then, in your opinion, also disprove the existence of that type of 'God'???

Lord Psycho, is that icon you use a picture of your kid?

Or is that you as a baby?

Then of course there is:

“There are four Vedas, the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. The Vedas are the primary texts of Hinduism. They also had a vast influence on Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. Traditionally the text of the Vedas was coeval with the universe. Scholars have determined that the Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas, was composed about 1500 B.C., and codified about 600 B.C. It is unknown when it was finally committed to writing, but this probably was at some point after 300 B.C.

The Vedas contain hymns, incantations, and rituals from ancient India. Along with the Book of the Dead, the Enuma Elish, the I Ching, and the Avesta, they are among the most ancient religious texts still in existence. Besides their spiritual value, they also give a unique view of everyday life in India four thousand years ago. The Vedas are also the most ancient extensive texts in an Indo-European language, and as such are invaluable in the study of comparative linguistics.”

Oh yes and not to forget:

The Mythology of the Constellations
“Most ancient cultures saw pictures in the stars of the night sky. The earliest known efforts to catalogue the stars date to cuneiform texts and artifacts dating back roughly 6000 years. These remnants, found in the valley of the Euphrates River, suggest that the ancients observing the heavens saw the lion, the bull, and the scorpion in the stars. The constellations as we know them today are undoubtedly very different from those first few--our night sky is a compendium of images from a number of different societies, both ancient and modern. By far, though, we owe the greatest debt to the mythology of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

The earliest references to the mythological significance of the Greek constellations may be found in the works of Homer, which probably date to the 7th century B.C. In the Iliad, for instance, Homer describes the creation of Achilleus's shield by the craftsman god Hephaistos:"

Of course Plato is still being read today as is the Kybalion and so many others – OLDER than any biblical scripture. But I’m sure this will make little difference to one who believes this:



It's ok, I had to look them up too, Feral, the difference is that I knew they existed, just didn't remember all the particulars.

So the end result of any religious requirement of a human mind is to escape the reality of an unfair, painful, trying and difficult life, by believing they can, somehow, make themselves better, or more than what they are, or come to some enlightened reasoning for this mortal and physical existence which must certainly either end in punishment, or a life in which all desires are met ‘fairly’ and without any expectations of behavior or thought?

Is it sadder to think that people do not fear ceasing to exist, more than they fear the retribution of a being they spend their life trying to appease without ever knowing if that being exists? That they do this in the a frame of mind that limits their cognition, and hence their ability to experience all the wonders and knowledge that this life has to offer?



This is the sad thought of one who is cynical of the world and all those who abide in it. Behind this thought would seem to be a person who has preset their vision to sterio-typing, and pre-judgment, all of which limits the ability of a mind to remain open and seeking and ready to experience, in spite of fairness, or fear, or poverty or heaven or hell.

Very true indeed. What's sad is the anger by those who don't get it. Instead of seeking God out they have to bash those who express their faith to others.

The Psalams talks about "why do the heathen rage?"

So true...even Jesus said that to the cynics.

They killed the prophets & then God's Son. Some are just rebellious.

"Shekinah" is the feminine expression for god. It is the she-god. (It is not a cloud of white hot smoke that ascended into heaven)
