Terrence-
Your 'rational' attacks are quite humorous- nothing but vague cultural reference and ad hominim attacks on the intelligence of those you consider 'inferior'.
If you truly viewed Christianity as inferior to your Church of the Mind, why then all this aggression? Why does the genius demean himself to mock the idiot, if this is truly the case?
Back to your cave? Well, it seems like this thread is our cave.
There is a misconception of modern man as this enlightened being, while those humans in early history were far inferior intellectually to us. (or at least, You, esteemed F.T.) You judge the man's mind by the culture into which he is born. Egypt, Rome, Greece - Superior because of their sophistication. Similar in the speed of their decline.
You trumpet catch phrases constantly..."A is A", reason, ration, but I seldom see any of these things in your posts. Mostly hostility and defensiveness. Your disproofs of God consist of "If God exists he wouldn't do X, therefore there isn't a God, or at least your God isn't him." Those may be valid questions to ask, but to discount God because of my own personal definition of what He should be is definitely not rational.
I do not wish to alienate you Terrence. I would like to discuss things with you at a deeper level than rhetoric flinging. But God is not waiting in the balance hoping he is proved here on this thread. Go to him with your questions Terrence, honestly. Seek Him truly, and He will be found.
But he will not force himself on you. I believe He has left the window open for the hard-hearted to thrust Him away, and believe themselves right. He has given you the choice - humble yourself before your creator, or reject Him. It is not a matter of Reason...it is a matter of the Will. |
