Something tells me you believe in him more than you let on. You're obviously having some issues with him.
When you can prove that god does not exist, then i will stop believing in god... Until then, since you admit you can not prove he does not exist, don't give advices depending in nothing and grow up by yourself.
If the existing of God can be proven, then the whole idea will be pointless. Believing in God is something you do out of your heart, to which you will either be rewarded or punished on judgment day. Peace,
God doesn't wait till judgement day, He deals with you constantly with a thing Budhists called karma. You don't get away with anything and He doesn't wait till you die. If all you put out is bad, all you attract is bad. And, just the opposite. Though I'll admit, sometimes it gets boring always being good!
A lot of truth to this, though I think bad karma, like taxes, can be deferred with a lot of effort! They should open a job called Karma accountant. In politics, we call that our PR person.
I agree it gets deferred at times but then it hits back the minute you don't expect it, and often in more mysterious ways. If you're on here speaking shit for instance, tricking people with lies and deception, then depending who you've affected and how hard you've affected them, there will come a time that karma will get you back. The hardest thing there is you might make what you believe to be a harmless comment which then gets taken the wrong way and deeply offends the reader. Karma might have them come back at you here and have them abuse the shit out of you to indeed reap your own karma back. Or, circumstances coud even escalate the problem by causing them so much grief to take their own life which will then require a lot more karma back from you in order to be paid back. Karma might take your marriage, your loved ones or even worse. That's why I always try to be as straight-up as I can be and I sincerely wish everyone else was like that too. God & even the bible teaches much about karma, but sadly not too many of us understand it enough to practise good karma on a constant basis.
Oh I doubt Karma is anywhere as organized as all that. In a general sense, you do bad things, someone might seek revenge, or perhaps the bad people you hang out with do something bad to you. Someone getting over sensitive at a comment made and then taking their own life could just be their karma coming back on them. Perhaps they were frequently insensitive to others, and are now isolated without friends, and a chiding comment would just be too much for them to handle in their fragile state and they off themselves. Or perhaps karma has nothing to do with it. Perhaps that person was like a weak cancerous cell in the organism we call the human race, and them offing themselves made the body as a whole stronger.... many ways to look at it.
Yep, agreed Obamanation. I knew my example was a bit extreme, not impossible though. My point was you don't know the extent of the karma you're putting out so best just putting out the good, though sometimes it's very hard to do.
People worshiped Sun at some point during history thinking it is God, when they found that it is impossible for the Sun to be God, they said there is no God, they too maybe felt embarrassed, but what made them believe there is a God, so they would go and look for him? and mistakenly believe it is the Sun. some maybe imagine God as an old man with a white long beard, who maybe has a family, and attach this image they created in their minds, with the God who created them, for sure they would feel embarrassed later, simply because there is nothing they knew, or will know that can be like God.
Interesting point. Conversely, in the case of theists, its also not their responsibility to prove god exists. Thats why they call it faith. You have faith god does not exist, they have faith he does. /shrug. Whats your point?
Did anyone else appreciate the irony inherent in the assertion by the thread creator that 'there is no god' and urging people (who presumably disagree) to 'grow up', followed immediately by the admission that he cannot prove his assertion?
