God Loves You.

[Theland]

God loves you.
Shouldn't you love Him back?

[Theland]

Druids maybe?

//Or earthquakes, tsunamis, accidents etcetcetc natural evil.
The creation was not meant to be like this.//

There is no natural "evil". Nature doesn't know or intend. Are you saying hod made a mistake?

[pixie374]

God...

[Theland]

No. No mistake.
A perfect world made imperfect by Man.

[pixie374]

Man created tsunamis and earthquakes? But God created man? Did he just not predict it then, or not care?

[Theland]

No, the creation itself became hostile when sin entered creation.

[pixie374]

Did god know this would happen?

[Apc2604]

After what I have experienced in the last few years, god has fallen out of love with me.

[MartinMillar]

Actually this has made me very cross, if god loves me why did he let my dad suffer, why does he let so much evil in the world.
This is the biggest load of hogwash ever and arghgh

[TrevorThePug]

Theland - // Question AuthorAccording to the scriptures, no, but that may be a cultural thing.
But, male and female both have differing but equally supporting roles. Females have gifts lacking in males so who wears the frock is really of no consequence.
Personally I get a bit confused on the subject, but tend towards males only. //

What a surprise!

Your faith is like every other - the men get to do all the jawing, and the women make the tea.

Spiritually dead because I deny the existence of deity? Theland, to stand on the shore slowing your breathing to the rhythm of the waves, to feel your thoughts lift with the gulls, feeling the caress of the breeze is to have a deep spiritual connection
to our world that does not need gods, You make the mistake of many I have found within the confines of structured religion you confuse observance with spirituality.
There is a spiritual aspect to everything that is done mindfully, I will not cast prayers into the void rather spend my efforts on constructive activity.

[pixie374]

I saw that too, rowan... theland, do you really believe that atheists have no spirituality? What are you defining that as?

[Theland]

No, on the contrary, I really do believe atheists have spirituality. Rowan just touched on it.

[HansUrbancka]

Theland...Why don't you give a rest to all of your nonsense ?

You are making yourself appear stupid because you are completely inconsistent with so many conflicting statements which you utter.

I fail to appreciate how you can say that God loves you, with all of your health problems, which suggest that your God is doing nothing to relieve your pain and suffering.

Hans.
