Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do You Believe In God ?

You should take that to heart and apply it to yourself, CCCC.

God: Just letting my flock know that I have appointed Riflehunter as my Deputy to help sort out the backlog of those waiting at The Gates for entry to Heaven.

I've prayed daily since my early 20's and read my Bible twice a week. So as the Monkees would say, I'm a believer

Why are you acting so arrogant? Why are you so defensive? Why are you unable to offer a rationale argument without resorting to insults and ad homs.

Perhaps you are incapable of rational debate? Perhaps you resort to insults because that is all you are capable of?

I go with latter. Your pockets are empty and you have nothing rational to offer. You just don't have the abilty to deal with the issues being raised..

Try it. For instance, try to rationally explain why the God of the bible is said to create evil. Are you able?

Mauserand9 what a faker you are - the delusional hypocrite - constantly trying to invent some basis for your attacks. This is another fail.

To tell a person that what he says is understandable is a statement about analysis and comprehension - that the message makes some sense. That has nothing to do with definitions, a greater power, argument, support or denial of a position. How sick must you be to feel that your made up stuff can be a basis on which to attack others? That is bona fide delusion. Check your false spelling of argument and be careful about the sticky paper.

Accomplished - what other means would you assume I could use to arrive at that analysis and position? By the way, thanks for another demonstration of a baseless ad hom attack.

You seem bent on revealing your hypocrisy regarding evidence and proof. There the person gave you a concrete example - clear and logical - about how a human can respond to a mysterious situation. It is not colored with assumptions or attacks.

That directness seems like an insult to you and your methods. You responded with a bunch of derogatory questions and statements to that poster. Most of what you said comes across as a deliberate ad hom slurring.
The above is analysis and comment based on hard evidence you have provided in that post - and you pretend to give advice about what another should explain?

Icing on the cake.

I was raised as a cradle Catholic and continue to follow my faith and belief in God- but in my own fashion for reasons I won't go into here. I could list many times I have had the fortune of His intercessions when I was on the edge of disaster, or hubris, or despair but without personal history in my experiences it would be hard to relate. Also, unlike many religious , I tend to keep my relationship with God and Jesus personal and internal- seldom discussing it with anyone. There are many times I think that people think that evangelizing is the equivalent of faith and I strongly disagree. Some of the people I know who exhibit their faith the most loudly are some of the least trustworthy, least generous, and least Godly people I personally know. Hypocrisy is the term that comes to mind most often.

Another point that buoys my belief in God and his creation- I know a number of very good engineers who are of non religious backgrounds. Almost to a man, they all believe there has to be an intelligent being after studying their disciplines, the order of the universe, and life as we know it. The same sentence seems to come out when we discuss this- "the math of the universe is just too perfect to have been pure chance"... you don't have to believe in God to enjoy the beauty of the universe he has provided for us. But it should make you wonder at times where it all came from IMO.

I know several people who fancy themselves scientists, including my son in law- who I like a lot and respect. But when this subject comes up I have a simple question for anyone who questions the existence of God. If you believe in the Big Bang, or any other alternate version of the creation of the universe, where did all the matter come from for the Big Bang? or any other creative building blocks? In the beginning, how did it all start? Believing in God is a lot easier to explain than believing everything in the universe came from nothing.

Do you read what I wrote or did you not comprehend ?

Yea, that's an interesting comment...

"the math of the universe is just too perfect to have been pure chance"

That's because the universe is all just a computer simulation. The language of the computer is math.

And computers are created, just as the universe is.

He died on The Cross for my sins

As someone here said, He would have done IT, for me alone. That is really smoothing to think about.

Dre- This is coming from somebody that believes Trump and God are either one of same or Trump is first in line to speak to God.

God: And I'm still a little bit angry with you about that Wabigoon. Because of you, I had to go through a lot of suffering. Why couldn't you just be like Riflehunter and virtually not sin at all?

Perhaps I should have said, "Our Sins,"

That computer and its operator where also created by a simulation, who was also created by another simulation... Turtles all the way down.

So, answer the question- if it is a simulation where did the first simulation come from? Who made up all the components to create that simulation? And where did the simulation creators come from?

Hard to say if you're just being an ignorant troll, but the question doesn't change just because you don't believe in God...
