ššPrayer is necessary to Increase āFAITHā, to understand What God wants of us, and to receive the Courage and Strength for the task.. It doesnāt create a Stop sign but rather a Road sign pointing To That āACTIONā ā¦ The FAITH without The ACTION is DEAD !!

I'll say it.
That is a "purr-fect" meme.
Meditate on Gods word + fasting +prayingā¦
Nice visual reminder of the power of prayer...
What if faith is but one of many ways to focus intent and it is the focusing that is the key? I never had faith and have found that cultivating doubt seems to work great. Fixating on doubting our understanding of reality or anything in it potentially opens up other possibilities which may be closer to the true reality.
What if there was no beginning and no end and no creator? Existence would just be. Would that be bad or amazing? Religion and science would have both seemed to have attempted to contain the limitless magnificence of it all by proscribing a beginning some thousands or billions of years ago, greatly diminishing the scope of the infinite eternal reality itself in the minds of credulous masses.
We live in a Physical, Finite environment that is Provably losing complexity and is degrading, which Demands a Beginningā¦ And way too many realities within it Desimate the law of Probability in your theory, rendering the necessary COINCIDENCES Impossibleā¦ There is no credible or acceptable evidence for it all JUST TO HAVE HAPPENEDā¦ Considering all of this and the mountains of facts that make your theory impossible , I canāt buy itā¦ If Iām wrong there are literally no negative consequencesā¦ but if your theory isā¦?!!
I would say literally retarding human consciousness with a made up story has very obvious consequences.
I'm not saying anything happened. I'm saying it could have always been and might always be. I don't think there is incontrovertible evidence against that as you say.
āRetarding human consciousnessā as you put it would be the process of whatās being presented as truth to be a lieā¦ and you say itās on a MADE UP STORY ?? Are you Assuming youāre right or have you actually researched itā¦ Iāve done an extensive amount of research on the subject, as in thousands of hours, ( for personal reasons) not to Prove there is a creator, but rather to explore the possibility that all of the complexity, that there is, having Just Happened.. Iād highly suggest doing the sameā¦ It was an incredible eye opener!! One that made me realize the last part of what I wrote in my First answer to you was more than hyperbole!!
You don't sound like you can even think anymore about possibilities outside your faith. You can't operate in a frame of reference that is not in your belief system. You can't do a thought experiment and think well, what if it's all a bunch of bullshit and there is no big bang and no creation and no limit to our "universe;" then what? How does one "study" such things and come up with a concrete answer? It's beyond me. I'm happy admitting it's not something I as a human being can give a definite verdict on.
Lolā¦ yepā¦ not so open minded my brains are going to fall outā¦ Iāve done research that lead me to what I believe, and youāre suggesting that if someone doesnāt listen to you and what you believe which is based on āWhat Ifsā, they are āretarding their human consciousnessā ??? Good luck with that !! šš
Try reading more carefully. I'm saying if it turns out the story of god and his son is made up then the religion will be found to have severely held back all of humanity with nonsensical beliefs.
Itās interesting that in your No God argument, with all the gods people proport to be the real one, you chose āGod and his Sonāā¦. Maybe you ought to do some Genuine Research on the subject to figure out why that would have been predictable..
Dude, he basically said ābeen there done thatā
The Shaggs had to practice every day for like five years and they never learned how to play.
I certainly have never seen a shred of evidence there is a god, let alone your particular one. Is it the same one as in the old testament by the way?
Sounds like youāve come to your conclusions in this exchange without reading what I wroteā¦ based on your responses that appears to be your MO.. clearly stated how I came to my conclusions that there has to be a creator.. Who I believe that is also based on research versus pre disposed beliefs, specifically those based on What Ifs.. Canāt have a logical discussion with someone who doesnāt, and just appears to want to be contrary because they arenāt willing to look at anything other than their own predisposition ..
But I said I don't think you have the proof you claimed and you offered nothing. I don't think you are capable of understanding what I mean. I try to avoid the belief trap if at all possible. Why get stuck in one belief system (B.S.) when there is an unlimited universe of thought available to us?
The same logic would be to say why believe one Truth, when there are unlimited possibilities, on anythingā¦ letās take 2+2 = 4ā¦ is a professor āRetarding Human Consciousnessā if he knows that to be fact and teaches it? And is a person elevating theirs if they have done no study or research, and say only that thereās an āunlimited universe of thought and possibilitiesā as their reasoning for not accepting 4? And if any person says theyāve taken the time to learn math wrong if they agree itās 4? There are many people that have gone through a similar process of research and investigation as myself that know what weāre discussing to be trueā¦ easy for anyone to say itās not, that hasnāt taken the time to research it, and then use the āUnlimited possibilitiesā scenario as their reasoningā¦ There are a lot of people that say, for instance, Trump is a Racist, but wonāt take the time to research the claimā¦ Show us Your research and evidence to DISPROVE thereās a Godā¦( and , by the way, I believe Iām Very āCapableā of understanding what you mean, but feel your argument has a ton of Holes in it)
What do you mean "Truth." You can't even imagine for a second that your belief could be false so you are cut off from everything else. It's awful.
I say there might not be a god and I am fine with not knowing for sure. You say SHOW ME YOUR EVIDENCE TO DISPROVE GOD! It's nutty and you definitely do not understand what I'm talking about.
