And I do know that I can trust what He said. [/quote] I'm sorry....I thought we were talking about evidence here :confused: It's no surprise to anyone that when you say you have evidence, and you are asked for it, you turn instead to "you better be ready" and "you better be sure of yourself". You realize that right - that it's no surprise to anyone? ~shrug~ As I said: there is no evidence for the existence of gods, and no cause for science to look for gods, and so stories of gods have no bearing on science. Should that change, then science will address such things as gods. Until some form of evidence can be proffered by those who feel it exists, there's not much point in even discussing how gods fit into science. It is purely in the realm of personal belief. {{edit - so as not to ignore the personal side of your post - [quote] [b]Gideon said:[/b] I came to the conclusion that we all have a wanting, a desire for something more deep within us. I always feel a need to belong to something greater than myself. A need to be a part of something that will give my life purpose and meaning. Well, I was in a deep, dark, depressed state when I was in junior high. I was a mess. Not physically. I was an A B student, had friends and family. I played games and people generally liked me. I was a pacifist and I was a sweet guy. However, underneath I was a wreck. I felt so alone. Empty. I tried video games. No good. I tried food. No good. Books. No good. I tried lust, masturbation, anything to fill me up with happiness. To fill that void within my life. That desire to have a purpose, to be filled up. [/quote] This is what I call the 'god hole'. Not everyone has a 'god hole'. To those of us without a 'god hole', having people explain to us how great god is, and how we obviously need 'god' too, and how peachy and wonderful everything is with god (and how we 'better be ready' and 'better be sure'), is about the same as having the heroin addict explain to you just how beautiful life is with heroin, and how ugly the world is without it, and how everybody just needs to get high and the world will be a wonderful place. Have you ever experienced that? It's a pretty fair analogy... I'm comfortable without my needle, thank you very much ;) [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/163]DL-44[/url] on 12-01-2006 03:25)[/small] Loading...
