Psalm 14:1 (King James Version)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14:1 (King James Version)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
It behaves like a cult forbidding doubt and chastising those for having it. That's a behavior liars and tyrants adhere to. Truth welcomes scrutiny and doubt because in the genuine, sincere pursuit of it, if it is truth, it's reinforced in the end. It's the journey to that truth that makes it unbreakable. Discouraging doubt discourages thought. This isn't kind and it's not an inherent attribute of Truth. It is however, one of deceit.
It's like the faith is scared of something. But that's just my perspective.
I'm incompatible with the concept of faith. People use faith to believe things that are not true which just proves it's unreliable metric for the determination of truth. One is either convinced or not. The best way to get to truth? Logic.
I'm good. I was a part of that flock for over 25 years and know it well. None of it panned out for me and many others like me. We're good humans but apparently your god's ego can't take our lack of belief and will resort to violence because we were wrong about a lot of things, but that one thing simply isn't allowed. It's not a behavior problem it's a thought police problem which brings us full circle back to it being tyranny. There is no opting out, there is no living MY life. I'm just here to learn a lesson and suffer from it forever.
That's true love.
Okie, back to the father talk. Myself, believing that a healthy Father figure in a man's life directly makes us who we are. I've had the struggle of knowing a father of both bad and good traits. Over many years I've been experiencing continual understanding that no matter how I perceive his thoughts, He's always there for me.
You’re arguing with a narcissist. Just let it go. You can’t win over someone that thinks they’re greater than the Bible.
