I hope not, most people realize fantasy from reality, one would hope. Do you tell everyone that the universe was all stuffed in a speck, by any chance?Same with the Lord of the Rings, but I don't go around telling people Sauron is coming.
So, if God needs a nasty bile-spewing person to come to his defense, he knows where to look!
You know, when I read this, I began to wonder if I'd asked my big question, then I looked back a this:
And then I remembered why I began this OP in the first place! And I was so lucky you came along and helped point out that pride and hubris and a total lack of self-analysis is pretty much all you bring to the table!
Yay! You love yourself so much, you don't even need Jesus to love you! He couldn't love you half as much as you love yourself.
Talking about the way to salvation anywhere is a good thing. All men are sinners, and in a depraved fallen state, whatever profession they have matters little.I don't think spending time on the net talking about your beliefs constitutes a profession, which is what I asked about.
No matter how happy to be alive we may be, the affair is temporary here. No matter what instincts people have. All we have in not here and now, or life would not be worth living. What we have here is a fallen state of wicked man, in a temporary state universe that will pass away.Yes, we all die but we all try to live as long as possible and as healthy as we can. I don't doubt those instincts will arise in you when the time comes. My 90-yr-old grandmother is glad to be alive, thanks to medical science, with all her faculties and independence. All we have is the here and now, at this momement. Ignoring it, wasting it, condemning it is pointless imo.
There is material there, even though it may also be spiritual, not just physical material. God's people are basically the forever rulers of the planet, and universe, in training, a royal people.Seems materialistic.
Don't discourage him too much. What would we do for comic relief without dad hoc and stuff like Elvis in the Moon.Now perhaps you are beginning to understand the true value of creationists like AVET and dad to our cause. They show anyone who reads posts here, Christian, or non-Christian, regular or lurker, what Creationism has to offer. Condescending Hubris, Rampant Illogic, and Non-Christian Nastiness. They do more to convince the undecided lurkers that Creationism is garbage than anything we post.
I know of several lurkers who have posted their surprise at the emptiness of creationist arguments, and even a few creationists who have been de-converted from creationism because of this forum. I know of nobody (and I do mean nobody) who has been converted over to creationism (or Christianity in general) because of the creationists here. Keep up the good work, boys!
So, your idea of good work is to see people kept from a knowledge of God. Interesting... I know of nobody (and I do mean nobody) who has been converted over to creationism (or Christianity in general) because of the creationists here. Keep up the good work, boys!
I take the concept as far as it can go, that ain't very far. Pretending to take material concepts into infinity, and beyond is fantasy.Are you always this cryptic? Wouldn't it have been easier to just say, "I believe in empricism when it agrees with my personal interpretation of the universe"?

Even He seems nasty to those that don't know Him, or have chosen His competition for men's souls. But if He needs someone to dish out a bit of what the evos like to dish out, He might like my stuff a bit.So, if God needs a nasty bile-spewing person to come to his defense, he knows where to look!
Not cowtowing to the god of the wisdom of man and the devil, is not hubris or pride. It is calling a spade a spade. I don't need self analysis, by the way, it is better to realize we are a mess, and look for His analysis! That 'self' stuff can mess you up something fierce. Isn't that the way of the world these days? Self this, and self that, and self creation, and self help, and self anything. Do they give out degrees in selfishness?And then I remembered why I began this OP in the first place! And I was so lucky you came along and helped point out that pride and hubris and a total lack of self-analysis is pretty much all you bring to the table!
Admitting either that we are a depraved mess, and sinners, or that we have salvation available has nothing to do with loving our self.Yay! You love yourself so much, you don't even need Jesus to love you! He couldn't love you half as much as you love yourself.
True. neither can we take this temporary universe, and it's death, and laws.I think there's a verse that says for you not to store riches for yourself here on earth, or something.. You can't take them with you to the after-life.
I also heard a joke, once, that a rich man died and went to heaven. He asked God or someone if he could bring his gold to heaven too, they said sure. Then someone else in heaven said something about bringing in more material to pave the streets with, lol.
I can't remember or I'd say the joke exactly.
I'm NavyGuy7 and I approve of this post.

Irrelevant. You contradict yourself because you say one thing and most certainly do another. No doubt you have taken your children to the doctor. I doubt you delivered them yourself. You are completely reliant on others while condemning them at the same time. It's a pretty backwards world-view.No matter how happy to be alive we may be, the affair is temporary here. No matter what instincts people have. All we have in not here and now, or life would not be worth living. What we have here is a fallen state of wicked man, in a temporary state universe that will pass away.
As nice as the journey may be, it is short. Hopefully we learn stuff to take with us to the other side here. That is the name of the game.
Even He seems nasty to those that don't know Him, or have chosen His competition for men's souls.
But strangely enough, I don't recall ever seeing you show any signs of humility. Funny that.
lol if these ideas help you get through your days, more power to you. What ever makes you happy providing it's not hurting anyone.There is material there, even though it may also be spiritual, not just physical material. God's people are basically the forever rulers of the planet, and universe, in training, a royal people.
Clearly, you can only speculate because you aren't experienced with either, are you?The benefits of our education can't be compared with the kindergarten physical, material only knowledge one can get in schools here.
