Obviously you find this world "cruel cruel"
Philo, Thursday, 10 February 2011 2:16:05 PM

Can't you see a bit of obvious tongue in cheek when you see it!
Ie It is only the sad cases that view the world as cruel !
and therefore it is only the sad cases that require a crutch !
..........................DO YOU GET IT NOW !........................................

I w i l l t r y a n d s p e l l t h i n g s o u t f o r y o u i n f u t u r e !

And as for your reference to ............handiwork of creation

Obviously all your comments are bound by religious dogma!

Wikipedia Quote regarding dogma: ................It is authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted, or diverged from, by the practitioner or believers.
and also ...............to any belief that is held stubbornly


In other words you posses a closed mind. C L O S E D M I N D !

A wise quote: Dogma is the enemy of intelligent discussion/debate.

Another wise quote: Dogma is the enemy of man, because it leads to unsound judgement, lack of discernment, lack of clear perception

Interpretation for Philo: Therefore any meaningfull (ie intelligent) discussion with you is totally impossible! I M P O S S I B L E !

I think the title of this thread.................

..........................WHY IS GOD?.............................

Is a like a magnet, to draw out all the hard core religious nutters out of the closet or cave !

failed plot ,..mr frail co pilot?

quote.."The very very most important thing in life (apart from all the basics of life like health, food shelter etc etc), is HAPPINESS and CONTENTMENT.

Everything else is secondary."

you dont seem happy

"My personal view
is you have to find your own personal inner peace and contentment."
so how is that working out for u?

"Hopefully, without inventing your own,
or adopting someone else's delusion/s to make it work. "

so those you tube links are yours?

"To be happy, it also helps to be normal
and balanced, ie no weird beliefs."

oh boy
athiests sure got that one on the cusp..

""I am confident
that I have pretty well worked this out for myself. "

this appears clear dear

"It's not hard, (then again maybe it is). "

facts to live by?

'It is however, mind bogglingly simple anyway.'

your a good advert
for doing it 'alone'

i guess for some...they just dont need anything
no drugs no booze no god no opinion...seeing no joke

if you cant tell
you got replied ...with phillos tongue in your cheek
your missing out on things ...that appear blooming obvious to the rest of us...lol

cheers brother
those who put their tongues in others cheks
gotta get used to others slipping the tongue right back at em..

i think a big thing
is being able to laugh at yourself

people take god too serious..he really has a great sense of hunour withy honour..[once you try to get to know him]...same with phillo..

so why did god
to allow us to see how funny we all really are

LOL

hey Falcopilot... I don't agree with you but I do tip my hat for your extreme creative communications skills within the typographical limits of this 350 word text box. WELL DONE!

Here is something for your consolation.

Now..back to sorting you out :)

Here is where you sit in relation to divine truth.

"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, (1 Cor 2:14ff))

I know...IIIII knowwwww... "self referencing circular argument" :) it's nevertheless 'true'.

Finally....

"Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever".(Eccl 1.4)

Same with atheists and skeptics.. they come...they go.. but the Word of life abides forever.

But unless you decide to open your heart to the true Gospel of grace soon... keep up with the animated attacks.. they make for a very colorful contrast.

QUOTE

"The person without the Spirit"

without awareness ...fully
of what 'the spirit'..is doing ..for all life..

nor seek to know why..

"does not accept the things
..that come from the Spirit"

these things are such basics as..life
[gods good ..sustains all life]

love logic light [that sustains life]..
all light is of.. from god..

we are ..of the light
but never ...the light

mercy grace compassion
[yes ..even its oppisites]

works [by our deeds ..shall we be known]
and words [but talk is cheap...

and the big problem is ..we
who claim to know ..the good of god...
honour the good ..and the one god ..with our lips ..not our deeds

but those ..who dont look..
who dont seek god ..with-in us
or seek to know the god within us all
sustaining all living naturally ..from within

just cant see any reason ..to even try

see how even ..in nature..
even the beasts ..nurture their young

nurture that comes from god..good/love
reflected even in nature ..and the 'natural'

even to those living ..unknowingly
..in gods living loving life..gift

[gifted freely
..even to the most vile]

even to those ..who dont seek to know the spirit
or indeed ..revile de-cry even life itself

thus dont respect ..those who seek to know
how ...all comes from gods good

spirit

"..of God but considers them foolishness,
and cannot understand them ....

*because they are discerned
*only through the Spirit.'

and via consiously seeking to know
the goods of god better

and thus develop their own awareness of ..the unseen
of the spirit

as being the unseen cause..
of all that made ..seen ..heard ..felt etc

..ie created resultant from the unseeen ..*cause

who dont seek
nor find the true eternal cause
underpinning this short mortal life sentance
that sets us up for eternity..

where more of the same ..shall be given

the same as we chose
in this world

'15..The person with the Spirit
makes judgments about all things,.."

filterd ..by a loving spirit
grace/mercy/love etc

[ideally]..lo
