It's a bunch of bullshit I am pretty sure.
You made a decision to be close minded and that’s you absolute right. Lots of people are pretty sure about a lot of things but that doesn’t make them correct. There are so many explanations that make sense when you choose to open minded. Based on things you have said about God your issue isn’t the HOW or even the Why it’s the person behind the action. When you have that component so much makes sense and that which does not - you are willing to trust no matter what.
How am I closed-minded when I study your book that you believe to be true? I try to maintain some doubt about everything including the ridiculousness of the bible story. I could be wrong, it could be all true. I think you are closed-minded because that is what faith requires. You can't even do a thought experiment about what if it was all made up to control us. Doubt is forbidden. Clearly I do not share your belief in any of it so what makes you think "my issue" is "the person" behind "the action?" No recursive thinking ability.
Does that usually work? Twisting conversation and playing the victim? You’re close minded because you don’t “study” the Bible. You look up verses to support your views and refuse to consider an alternative to your assertions and assumptions. Faith doesn’t require close mindedness- Faith is an experience that requires literally being open to what you can not experience with your own senses and knowledge. It requires being open minded to even begin the journey. I can do thought experiments all day- just because I am calling you out for passive aggression doesn’t mean I am offended by the exercise. Once upon a time I like you believed I was far too clever to believe in God or the Bible. My views have since changed.I did not however go out of my way to insult other’s beliefs and I still don’t. You are not equipped to have an intellectual discussion until you can do so with out sideways remarks. I have had many many conversations online and in person with those that disagree with my “ridiculousness” as you put it.I have learned a great deal from them and respect the individuals deeply. The difference isn’t our beliefs it is respectfulness. I was very respectful to you but you wanted to insult me and be condescending. I ignored it until I didn’t. I am not good at being a Christian. I have a bit of a temper and your purpose was to goad not engage and I fell for it. Congratulations.
How did I disrespect you personally? I said the bible story is ridiculous, which it is. A magic boat with all species of animals kept alive by one guy and his family? In what universe is that realistic? For one thing!
