(before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.
he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.
when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.
I mean why would I hallucinate a superior being telling me to stop doing drugs?
Self preservation is a powerful instinct. You already had a notion of God. You had been telling other kids that was your Dad.
As rebel8 and Cofty said, hallucinations are a terribly way to decide what's true.

As I've already said, let's leave it alone.
Oh, dear. No. Just... no.
The Quran also says God may show mercy to those who do good regardless of their belief... But you ignore that completely.
Why should that not be ignored? It doesn't portray god is a good light. It's simply another example of it's capriciousness and psychopathy.
Let's leave the judgement of right and wrong to christ if he shows up, and time if he doesn't. I'm okay with that.
So, unless an invisible spirit guy shows up and decides to punish bad guys, they get off free? Wow, that seems like a terrible idea.
though many sages have tried to describe god and his purpose, the best they could do was to declare neti, neti (not this, not this).
to the question of god, even buddha responded with silence!
jesus declared: truth will set you free but did not say what that truth is!
Though many sages have tried to describe God and his purpose, the best they could do was to declare neti, neti (not this, not this).
Agreed. Can you do any better?
Behind this facade, there must be a grand purpose—something which religious leaders could not understand.
Why must there be a grand purpose? Why are you eliminating a regular purpose, and petty pupose, no purpose at all, God isn't any all like what religious people think of him as or that it might not exist?
You use the word SCIENCE as if it is an ultimate weapon near which no one can come talking about intuition. Even Einstein has gone on record saying intuition preceded most of his scientific accomplishments!
For an intuitive mind, whether it is the individual human body or the larger cosmic body, essentially, they are made of five elements – earth, water, fire, air and space.
Anytime anyone uses an Einstein quote to support wrong notions or religious notions or to suggest religion and science are similar, you can be sure that person doesn't understand science, religion or Einstein.

The Koran is a deplorable book written by a deplorable person and commands horrible things. It deserves a huge share of the blame.

Omg viv... Seriously. OMFG lol. GO AWAY.
Thanks for that quote. It clearly shows that I never said abortion was deplorable. On a side note, the above chart is making a lot of sense.

Plain to YOU. YOU are interpreting what you read, and now your calling that interpretation, "plain" and saying any who dont agree with you are dishonest....
Plain to anyone who isn't denying reality. Denying reality doesn't change the realness of it.
Id really love for someone else to respond to you, I'm surely not the only one noticing your nonsense.
It's not nonsense to defend reality against those who wish to pretend the Bible isn't a book of blood followed by a death cult.
Again, your sayin it clearly means something when hundreds of millions disagree. What is clear to you is crazy to others.
Hundreds of millions of people thinking 2+2=5 doesn't make it true. Pretending the Bible doesn't command deplorable things doesn't change the fact that it absolutely does so multiple times in very plain language, no matter how many people believe it.
Also, you believe abortion is deplorable amd immoral? Explanation of this possible?
I've no need to explain something I never said.

Lay the blame on the ones interpreting it this way, not the thing being interpreted.
The thing being interpreted clearly commands rape, murder, slavery, abortion, genocide, theft and murder. It is a deplorable thing. There is no moral defense for this.
