Because........you never know, you dont know what will hit you.

I have spent a great number of years researching and testing fear under many conditions. I can continue answering you, but unless you can drop your preconceived notions that belief lead's you to real knowledge, this is just going to go round and round.

When you're in Christ there is nothing to fear. Perfect peace and love trump fear. I am so glad Christ found me, fear sucks. I'll be a fool everday in exchange for perfect peace.

Actually fear is induced by a chemical in the brain when it is necessary. So unless you have somehow removed that part of your brain that manufacturers that chemical, I'd say you are flat out lying.

I had much more to fear when I was a 'born again' Christian and believed all that nonsense to be true.

Me too, that's the major reason I left.

Have I said that belief leads to real knowledge?

However, wisdom + understanding= knowledge.

What is the use of wisdom if not understood,
it just passes by,

but to grab hold of it and endvour to understand it leads to knowledge.

Nope I'm not a liar. My fear and anxiety went away when I decided to trust Christ.

You people are absolutely insane.

If I was to think of one thing that has kept me from falling into mortal danger, it would have to be stopping still when fear hit me.

"Stop! And think" Fear says.

That is just being sensible.

A normal reaction if one has their head screwed on the right way.

Testing limits can be foolhardy,

Just to be able to appear brave and fearless.

But there can come times when a person for some reason the fear factor is not there.

Many are the times when an individual/s will risk their own lives to save others,

while apparently not giving a thought about fear.
Though after they may shudder when they think of it.

Testing however is not advisable.

Except in one case,
giving charity.

For which the reward is not having to rely on anyone.
Malachi 3:10.

Foolhardyness
Matthew 4:5-7.

Thank G-d for those who put their lives on the line to save others, and they are many.

That Biblical god didn't put its life on the line to save others, it is supposed to have created a son to do that for it. If it exists, and that story is true, which I don't believe for one second to be so, it shows how wicked that god character is.

Madam, I think you are confused.

My post that you have quoted does not in any way hang together with your post.

Also a question for you,

Is this all you have to bring to the table?

Because it seems like you are trying to convince yourself.

Over and over, same old same old.

I do not know how you manage it,
and I don,t care either.

So what do you think of that?

Your faith acted as a placebo, imo.

I guess this is very hard to understand for non believers. If you know whats to come after this life, it makes your fear disappear. When God is with you you don't really fear things in this life because it is temporary. This life is temporary.

Now if I didn't know God I would live in fear because this world is horrifying. I would be accumulating wealth and trying to live as long as possible because this life would be all there is in my mind. But I could care less abut that stuff. If I get hit by a truck and die today, I will be with God which is way better then being here.

Of course it is foolishness to those who are Blind to it, no offence meant.

But you don't know any of that as a fact, it is only a belief.

FYI he lets you know he is very real when you pursue him. So what you believe to be a "belief" is a fact to me.
