I just hope I was clear about not being chosen. That expectation that god needs to do something so we’d start believing of whathave you is precisely the attitude that moves us further away from god, because it basically translates to saying that it’s his fault that we don’t feel his love all while it’s right in front of us:(

I'm simply curious why....or how, some people find it without looking...when those who are open and looking, can't or don't.
Open and looking. Now you sound like those ‘open and looking’ on dating sites:))

Oh...I mean that...I'm miffed by a god who wouldn't show himself to someone who is looking, needing, wanting....but would, to someone who wasn't. Which was the whole basis of my disbelief in the first place so many years ago.

Well....what to do for sure. :unsure:

I want to be clear though....that I am perfectly happy with my life as it is. I feel contentment that I can't imagine being better. I never tire of being elated by the beauty around us...no matter how many times I've seen it. I'm really not looking for more....I was just intrigued by a few things skinz said, that made me want to understand how 'the other half lives'. =))))

I like to think I have a deep understanding of how my actions affect others, and always try to make that a priority in how I conduct myself. (ok...I fail sometimes, but not for lack of trying =)))) )

I just never felt like I needed more. :unsure:

What’s the other half, ppl who believe in god?
Btw you sound like you don’t need god. For that reason you don’t see him. That is all.

And meem reread your post. It’s soaked in pride. You are proud of yourself just as you are. You are a teenager who doesn’t need their parent because they are already perfectly happy on their own:) I hope some of my upstream posts make more sense now. Or not. I can’t tell. I talked about this too much and I’m starting to sound too proud to myself too lol:(

If enjoying life, and appreciating beauty is the same as pride....I plead guilty. :unsure:

yeah.... probably her too. but seriously.... big bang, gravity and evolution have no more evidence than creationism.... apart from nasas admitted cgi pics, theres no other proof of a round earth. none.... use a discerning eye.... are they explaining how things actually happened? or simply trying to explain away god? there are alot of 'earth facts' that can't hold up to scrutiny.... nor can they be proven.... and that leaves the choice directly on you.... a lie is a lie regardless of how many ppl believe it.... :(

There is. Indisputable proof. Proof that was established long before nasa.

You believe that science attempts to explain away god...but a few centuries ago, it was the church that deemed it a sin to believe the earth was round and stood fast in the way of proving otherwise. Fortunately, there were those that questioned things back then too...and broke through the 'lies'...or more accurately, beliefs, they were led to believe.

Interesting bit...

i believe i've already established my position on 'christianity' with you.... you know my thoughts.... so.... uh... good luck, woodchuck.... :(

lol. no. i'm just saying that i'm looking at this from a much different angle than you. plus i have read about contributing factors that you refuse to take in account.... i'm not trying to convince you of anything. i only want you to be certain you believe whatever you decide to believe.... :(

I gather you didn’t like my vids:)

I didn’t get far with the first video. I’ve seen coal and granite and then dozed off. At what point to we see the argument about the earth flatness?

the point is that all of it was created in the same period and at pretty much the same time. all those layers of rock and dirt.... they all contain those halos.... so it would appear that earth didn't 'form over time'.... it just was.... :(

But how does that prove earth flatness? It only reflects on age of the earth crust, parts of them anyway.

its not about flatness. its about a time discrepancy that doesn't exist.... besides watch or don't.... it not my place to summarize for you. its your experience that matters.... :(
