Evidence for God...

life come from the living, and this is a universe of life.

his teachings are truth.

which is why i weight it against the truth of the teachings (and one other thing that i will get to).

I saw the Lord on a piece of toast the other day. Evidence to some

To me, it was a better with some homemade honey. It was, after all, just toast.

A Nut or Criminals Will Always Find A Way To Kill Or Hurt Someone If They Want To

by minimus in

for the record, i don't think a person should be able to use "assault weapons" or "machine guns" or "rocket launchers".

i do think guns should be allowed.

but certainly not everyone is "qualified" to use a firearm.. even if you legally, rightfully can have a weapon, it doesn't mean that a "kook" wouldn't steal it and use it in a nefarious way.. i am convinced that you could take licenses away from drinkers and they still could get behind the wheel and wreak havoc.. you could ban switchblades and gun silencers and people will still find a way to quickly slice you up or muffle a sound.. you could ban or try to curtail cough medicines and people will still find a way to get high.. we cannot, government cannot---control what people will do.

Justin Bieber almost got kidnapped, abused and killed by some nut jobs.

Damn....

If a crazed person sets out to kill or maim, they often will.

True. But in Justin's case, it's expected and precautions are taken. Celebrities are magnets for the ill of mind it seems.

One wouldn't think such threats should exist at a school.

Why Isn't the USA the Safest Country in the World With All the Guns

we have 9 guns for every 10 people in this country.

since more guns = better protection, i keep asking myself why there is so much gun violence here ???.

i don't see such violence in canada, australia, europe, japan and other so-called "advanced" countries.. what is wrong with us here.

Good question.

I don't see such violence in Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan and other so-called "advanced" countries.

The stats presented seem to corroborate this. And it doesn't seem any of them are becoming fascist states because the poplulace isn't armed.

What is wrong with us here. If everyone here had 2 guns instead of 1 would that make us safer? Again, what is wrong with us here in the USA?

Questions that as yet seem unanswered

A thought experiment about what it means "to be" GOD

by Terry in

all believers in god begin with the premise that he is the creator.. but-stop!.

go back one step.

what about before god was a creator.. creation is the "beginning" for the created--but--not for god.. .

Twitch

Well, it could be said that it is impossible to know what it is to BE god. That which is less than cannot be the whole.

The experiment is futile as it's result will differ with each sample.

It's impossible to know every sample

lol

Does Anyone View You As A "Prodigal Son" With The Hope You Will Come Back To Jehovah?

i know some have thought that about me.

my family used to but i think that hope is dwindling now..

Ditto. For 25+ years the return to the fold was hoped for, and fought over.

However, upon my admission that I'm essentially atheist with the reply that "there's no hope for you then", I doubt that still exists. But I don't care about it as I once did.
