I thought that was the whole point of that definition? To have an appropriate label for one who can't qualify their belief, or lack thereof.

Yes, exactly. It was self humor I'm not usually subtle, which is why you missed it this time.

But really, i'm not sure if i'm agnostic.

SS, ya bastard! Me and you have a lot in common in this particular area. I feel the same so I'm going to label myself as a three quarters atheist insted of half. Even if life began from simply a "higher source", it still begs the question as to why this source cannot at least give us some hints as to how humans can alleviate some of their problems.....such as death and suffering. If it's heartless aliens that put us here, I'd rather believe I came from a damn monkey/ pond scum.

The wonders in life do not go hand in hand with human suffering........that's the frickin dilema

Gumby:
I did my chores

I did some Tai Chi and Aikido
Washed the car
Did the grocery shopping and put it away
Baked a loaf
Listened to some music
Trimmed the roses and weeded the borders
Did a load of washing, and hung it up to dry
Made lunch
Washed the dishes
Cleared out some kitchen cupboards
Took out the trash
Wrote a poem
And found time to chat to a friend and make some phone calls

So, what have you been doing for the last 8 hours?

Suffering and wonder is the experiential dichotomy of "God".
It seems that every subject has at least one.

So, what have you been doing for the last 8 hours?

Well since it's only 9:30 AM here, I've only been awake for bout 2 and a half hours, drinking coffee, sittin on my arse at this computor trying to think of stuff to make me look smart against bastards of the likes of you

I got to get off my buttsky and do my sweeties honeydoo's real soon myself. Mow, put a siding patch on my garage, try and hook up a 5th wheel for the first time since buying it without destroying my truck and 5th wheel

Yes, suffering and god is a toughie for most. For me....just to know my life would go on after passing away in the flesh and that there is something else better......would ease my frustrations as well of millions of others I suppose.

So, what have you been doing for the last 8 hours?

Grocery shopping

Since it's only 1:30 p.m. here in Texas, I am mellowing out for a moment with a tasty pinot grigio and listening to music from my childhood (Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick).

Then you're not much of a Christian, nor do you have any right to tell people about your God .

Romans 11:34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord?

Dont feel bad DDog I dont know his mind either.

Dont feel bad DDog I dont know his mind either.

1Co 2:16

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

What is interesting to me, is that the verse he gets that from is teaching that the mind of God and the mind of Christ are not the same.

I couldn't see the point in getting into the differences between the two, with him, when just two verses before says:

1Co 2:14

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned.
