oh, i know....you have all the answers...


This is the delusion of religion.

People think that religion provides answers.

But it does not.

All religious people are realy saying is, “We don’t know anything so we pretend that there's a Santa Claus who does! So there! :tongue:

laugh





you may think whatever your mind can conjure up


but you have to live with yourself & your emptiness





Atheist arn't "empty". We believe in Reason, Observation, and Experience: The Holy Trinity of Science.

I do not believe in the conventional god but my life is far from empty and I feel full of love for all living beings all the time so it is love filled also, so what is that about?

No, mirror, that wasn't directed at you eitherflowerforyou Just who thinks an atheist (if that is what I am, I don't label me anything) has to have an empty life if they do not believe in god the same way they do??? That is what I meant. God is not the value of fullness nor the gage of love and respect. Morals are not based from god, they are individual. So, their god does not make people better humans or more worthy.

It's a still life watercolor
Of a now late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows wash the room

And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar

In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives

And you read your Emily ****inson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost

Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time.

And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives

Yes we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
Can analysis be worthwhile?
Is the theatre really dead?

And how the room has softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me

Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

O K and what does that have to do with a christian bear eating an atheist?

This says to me the feelings of two people who have lost their connection to each other and in life and are now indifferent to each other and numb to the world. Doesn't connect as far as I can see???

i can feel the energy

almost like what Daniel may have felt like

in the den of lions...




but i still stand my ground
with unswaying faith in Jesus Christ the risen Savior
with grace and beauty , with honor & self respect
with wisdom & integrity , with love for family & friends
and with love & compassion for those who are unlovable, too



because

" Greater is He that is in me.....


than he that is in the world ...."drinker


and please
if you are so adamant against Christianity flowerforyou
and have no real affiliation with a country
that was founded by people
who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior....

please go start your own country ..... drinker

Nice Rapunzel.

Wow made fun at for even sharing a song no matter wfere you got it does not matter it was nice.

I am stuck for words that a person would even try and cut you up just actually for being Christian. But hey whatever a person does I guess that is there purpose.

Have a nice day girlflowerforyou
