Cats!

And yet God is the biggest sadist.

Proverbs 1:26-28 (KJV) I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

When attempting to lift yourself up by putting God down, mockery penetrates.

When educating the world, inclusion is detrimental to making your point. You purposely excluded important information that gives your audience a clear picture of what God is saying to all of us. That is misleading and unfair to them. Since my crayon is bigger than your crayon, I’ll fix your potentially suicidal mistake.

My son, if sinful men entice you,

do not give in to them.

11

If they say, “Come along with us;

let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,

let’s ambush some harmless soul;

12

let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,

and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

13

we will get all sorts of valuable things

and fill our houses with plunder;

14

cast lots with us;

we will all share the loot”—

15

my son, do not go along with them,

do not set foot on their paths;

25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

30

Since they would not accept my advice

and spurned my rebuke,

31

they will eat the fruit of their ways

and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32

For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,

and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

how do you know those are the words of your god?

How do you know they aren’t?

thats not quite how things work in my world

if you make a claim that a book is your gods book, you must have a reason why?

ok to show you iam not trying to trap or trick you and am just interested in your thoughts i will tell you why i think your bible is not written by a god

main reason is why would a god need to do this? and who benefitted and still benefits from this bible?

the supposedly oldest bible is the codex vaticanus


they estimate its from the 4th century and it has been stored in the vatican for centuries

personally i dont trust anything coming from the vatican and their billions stored in their private bank

And you want me to share my thoughts? It’s pointless. Or better yet, what is the point? So you can reply with how it’s not true. That it’s impossible to believe. How there is no physical proof for any claim I make. No, Nico. I’ve been here and done this. If you want to talk about God, you share Him with me.

strange reasoning but ok, i tried

What is strange to one…

normally i would agree with such an incredible wise statement lol
but i think your reaction might be considered a bit weird to a lot of people
in order to hear about your thoughts i must first share your god?!

for example why not just say that you trust the vatican and their bible and that you trust and believe that the humans that wrote it were given the words by your god
and i would have said something like that doesnt make any sense to me but ok

Her religion is based on the absurd notion that in order for God to manifest himself, you have to first have faith that he will, which is as silly as saying it won’t rain tonight unless you first have faith that it will.

That said, it amuses me to see her echo this childish, relativistic platitude that you’ve been repeating for 25 years or so. I hope you find it as simplistic and irritating as I have for the last quarter century.

I know, I know, what is simplistic and irritating to one is a Dutchman to another…

thanks for your input lol but this is new to me, usually believers gladly share their thoughts and happiness they get from their god and want people to join in

It’s actually very repetitive but it’s easy so I gravitate toward it.

I don’t care what people think of my reaction. Should I be? You make it sound important. Am I being judged for first place in a contest?

Yes

But I don’t. Do you think I should take up lying just because you think there is no consequence?

I believe Gods Word is Divinely inspired and I trust His Word to be Truth.

2 Timothy 3:16

If you already know it’s not going to make sense, why do you want to hear it?

I find it suppressed, just the way you like it.

We do.

lol am afraid there is no prize to be won

i was only sharing my thoughts and explain why i think that way and am interested in hearing your thoughts and explanation for why you think that way

of course i dont think you should lie, i was giving an example to show you nothing bad would happen because i thought you might be afraid to share your thoughts

i cannot share your god because it is your god and i dont see, hear or feel your god

am not used to anyone putting up (in my view impossible) conditions before they will share their thoughts

I’m sorry. The thing you don’t seem to understand is that I can’t share God with people who have repeatedly confirmed in me their belief. :pleading_face:

I think that’s great, Michele. Seriously. Less sharing God and more just being a friend. Far better.

iam sorry you feel that way and feel that you need to hide your thoughts from people that dont believe in your god
i think its sad and a sign of being in a cult

one can never be a real friend to others and themselves unless one shares their thoughts on everything that is important to them

One can not speak from both sides of your mouth.

Unless you can explain the two different beliefs. I’ll wait.

obviously i wasnt referring to online friendship that is indeed just an illusion
