		<description>LOL, standard misconception #5...  Do YOU hate the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy?

No, I don&#039;t feel anything for the imaginary god figure, but I do feel a great deal of disdain towards many of the people who proclaim with absolute certianty that their god is the one true god, and they somehow have answers to everything...</description>

		<description>Bible is above any human being or experience.God wrote it for humans knowing what they do.It is God&#039;s ways to explain to his children what he wants to say.God pardons even the greatest sinner then why should he not address that sinner in his book? God at the same time loves good people then why should he not address them too? Human perspective to understand Bible is too small.We can&#039;t be &#039;that&#039; forgiving as God is yet we should try to be if we want to understand what God says in Bible.</description>

		<description>Clay, we also have a historical account of creation for Middle-earth.  Is that enough to believe that it too is real?  

As to proof of God&#039;s existence, as long as there are alternative explanations for the supporting evidence (proof) then knowing with certainty which explanation to support can be difficult.  Personally, I find testable falsifiable explanations to be more comforting than unassailable or circular explanations.  The former means that sometimes I am wrong and if I am wrong then I can grow and learn.</description>

		<description>The God who created this wonderful world and human beings is TRUE, but, the God created by human beings (through all religions) is FALSE.  You just only can recognize God by YOURSELF in the EXACT SECOND THAT YOU&#039;RE LIVING IN, NEITHER BEFORE NOR AFTER...</description>

		<description>&quot;Still, there’s a huge distinction between the notion of a God, and humanity’s attempts to describe him.&quot;
Why so?
Once God becomes a personal God, there is very little difference.
I can believe the Universe is God, but if it does not take a personal interest in my life, what does it matter?
I can postulate the most intelligent man or woman on earth.
I can postulate other intelligent beings on other worlds more intelligent than the smartest humans.
I can postulate the smartest being on a planet with the smartest beings in all the universe, they would have godlike powers to use.
So What!</description>

		<description>Are you attempting to navigate spiritual waters thru the faculties of logic and reason? An academic approach to &quot;Christianity&quot; is not &quot;reasonable&quot;, lol. Since when is anything about &quot;God&quot;, or scripture logical to our reason and logic loving minds my friend? The purely cerebral approach is a very dry, unfulfilling &quot;head knowledge&quot; walk dear one. God is Spirit right? Jn 4:4. Or do you not know we are also (here and now) spiritual offspring and that we are warned not to &quot;judge by appearances&quot;? Hmm...maybe there is more to all this, more joy, more liberty, more truth. What&#039;s behind the veil? Do you know?

Yes indeed, there is more, there is a life. Christ IN you is the mystery of the ages (Col 1:27) All the best Michael.</description>

		<description>Michael,

Thanks friend, I know you mean well and I bless you, appreciate you for it but I am the only &quot;child&quot; here, ha the rest are all grown up! lol (be careful not to join them :) We are at different spots on the &quot;journey&quot;, and mine is no more significant than your&#039;s, just different.

They all know (and love, ha) me here, so no worries. But yes, that which I depicted is a true rendering of the condition of unregenerate man, the battle for rule and reign within him for each man is a little kingdom in himself, between his ears, his shoulders. Blessings.</description>

		<description>John C., 
This is the kind of crap that makes people become atheists. 

Have you ever had a conversation with anyone in a normal situation that sounds anything like that? 

You&#039;re scaring the children.</description>

		<description>He is within us all (Eph 4:6) and He is spirit but since you deny the realm of spirit (life) then you deny Him, His presence...which is self-defeating because He is Love. Natural man has lost his sensitivity to his spiritual being since &quot;the fall&quot; from the high place in the realm of the spirit, that garden within man(kind) where He dwells.

Our own King Herod (Self ruling Governor within) is threatened by His inward rule and reign and so seeks to kill the &quot;Christ child&quot; in us before He emerges as Victor, as Lord as it was in the garden, Him in your center, your very life. Ahh...but if He is allowed to assume the throne of our surrendered hearts (spirit man) then what is the result? Peace, Love, Life abundant and the restoration of all things, namely your true Self, a son (spiritual offspring) of God.

Yes, He is Father, He is within indeed but yet you know it not. One day, one glorious day.</description>

		<description>Just doesn&#039;t seem to be much to being an atheist. 
Make up your own definitions. 
Use scripture out of context. 
Re-hash cliches. 
Belittle others that don&#039;t share your opinion. 

Not really any different than the nominal christians you used to be. 

My apologies to the few here that might not be simply anti-christian.</description>

		<description>There is no proof for God but there is proof that points to him. You can not prove a spirit unless it shows itself to you, even then people will not believe. Define proof - Is Proof a video of God in the skies, then no, we have none. But do we have the Bible, the Historical account of Creation and beginning and end - yes, we have this. God created us to glorify him, so I am sorry you don&#039;t want him, but the truth is you do need him. Do you need water? how about food? if I say i do not need food I will feel the consequences of that decision of not eating. The same is with God, whether you want to believe or not, we were created by God and just because you say you don&#039;t want to believe does not make it not real. If I say you don&#039;t exist, do you exist? I can not, and will not try to, force my faith onto you. Christianity is not a philosophy or religion, but a relationship with God, and Lifestyle.</description>
