There's just one problem...you have it backwards. We are to seek first the kingdom, and then, all that will be added unto us. It is one thing to make the best of the earthly life we have been given, but it is not good to glory in it. Revelation 12:11I choose to reject all after physical death scenarios. It's now that I'm alive. It's now that God is my reality in life. It's now that I'm going through the awakening process. It's now that I can serve and help those in need. It's now that I can laugh with my grandchildren. It's now that I can cry because of the pillaging of the earth. I choose to not live for life after death but to live for life now. I see that as a very wise way to live.

Does appeasement really work? Can a man have two masters?What of all the religionists - Christians - that accept modern cosmology and evolutionary theory? Do their their rules and facts get kicked to the side as well?
Indeed.The evidence says "Everyone dies."
Allegedly.The two camps simply have different outlooks: Christians have it on good authority
As if one can choose reality.that if you choose that path,
I knew an atheist that believed in an afterlife, for people and all the critters around us. But then, he was also working his way from extensive drug habit.life doesn't end at death. Atheists what, accept death on the word of others who died before them?
Of course not. Why would I not want for there to be more to human existence that this brief biological stint?You LIKE the idea of just laying down and dying?
It's at the cleaners with my Easter Bunny suit.Where's your fighting spirit of adventure?
No value.You got one hand tied behind your back...and reality, didn't do that...you did. There are many choices, some hopeful, some realistic. "Here lies Davian. He lived and died realistically."
No charge.
Do you send letters to Santa?There's just one problem...you have it backwards. We are to seek first the kingdom, and then, all that will be added unto us. It is one thing to make the best of the earthly life we have been given, but it is not good to glory in it. Revelation 12:11
Intellect has no integrity.It looks like it would come at the cost of my intellectual integrity.
"Occasionally". lol.
You misrepresent what I said. I never said you had to agree or leave.
Your opinion of their expertise is irrelevant to my point.
While there are evangelical Christians such as Geneticist Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, that accept evolutionary theory, I do not see why you make this a religious matter.Does appeasement really work? Can a man have two masters?
They are as much a product of their environment as any, and were not born of the spirit of God. But it is not wrong to ask questions, to seek and examine the mysteries of life. But a man hears what he wants to hear, sees what he wants to see, after his kind.
He's here just to cause discontent - thinking he is witty when in reality it's just dull. Which is why he avoids all discussion of science.
My exchanges with Scott have not involved science so far.
While there are evangelical Christians such as Geneticist Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, that accept evolutionary theory, I do not see why you make this a religious matter.
From your perspective, perhaps.Intellect has no integrity.
Where have you established this as a possibility?Wisdom, on the other hand does...and choosing even the possibility of life
over certain death...is just for the fools and the wise.
It's not an insult if it is accurate.And there you go again with your shock value insults. Yawn. You're becoming exceedingly predicable. That and evasion seem to permeate your posts.
Where did I say that?You've been insisting that I should leave my country simply because I don't agree with mainstream cosmology beliefs. What's up with that behavior?
Nice red herring you have there. Is that for dinner?I suppose that's fair since your opinions about God and cosmology are irrelevant to me as well.
How about if you are lost?I find it productive to use the vernacular for the universe that I am in, thanks. Where are you from?
My above quote is one definition of insanity. Your approach seems to line up with it. Just sayin'"Maybe you would like to quit doing the same thing expecting a different result."
I have been here for years, and have been getting the same result, but the elaborate rationales presented by each religionist for why their particular deity is indistinguishable from nothing usually takes enough twists and turns to make it interesting.
Make believe is a funny thing. We innocently tell our innocent children stories to soften and explain something real. God does the same, but in this case...you don't even know you are in the story. I guess that proves he has a sense of humor.Do you send letters to Santa?
Unless of course, one find the Presence of God in life. I do not believe that the search for other wordly rewards over rides the reality of God in this world.It is one thing to make the best of the earthly life we have been given, but it is not good to glory in it.
