RootsBooster Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Do you think the following people were 'poor lost souls' and 'vulnerable/easily led': (to name a few).. Albert Einstein Max Planck Guglielmo Marconi Arthur Compton Abdus Salam Winston Churchill Jimmy Carter Theodore Roosevelt Nelson Mandela Isaac Newton Galileo Galilei Nicolaus Copernicus Johannes Kepler Francis Bacon Blaise Pascal They all believed in God and adhered to a faith. Think they did pretty well for lost souls.. don't you? I think that without a doubt they were, at some point in their lives, vulnerable and/or easily led. Most likely as children, which is when religion usually strikes. Your post, by the way, is an appeal to authority bordering an appeal to popularity.

redwhine Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) ...I won't contribute anymore to this pointless thread . Didn't he also leave earlier saying it was pointless and come back anyway? Yes. It is covered by Shaker's Law (aka "Leaving and never coming back") http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/RationalWiki:Leaving_and_never_coming_back Leaving and never coming back is an internet euphemism whereby a frustrated participant in a forum, or blog, or whatever, takes away their ball and refuses to play. Sometimes this occurs after grandly declaring "victory," but more often when they are simply unable to get their own way. Often times, the LANCBer cannot get his or her way because the forum is riddled with sycophants who gang up on them, even though the LANCBer is clearly correct. It is usually publicly announced, done with great fanfare, and followed by a quiet return within a week or even within a few minutes. A statement of LANCB virtually guarantees a return, thus destroying any ultimata or idealism involved in their "leaving." A particularly grandiose LANCB is often referred to as a flounce. The word can also be a verb, as in "user Tyranny_of_Evil_Women flounced out of the forum, but he was back three days later posting as AgentLemon." If accompanied by a particularly emotional farewell speech, this is also known as a Grand Staircase Exit. It is a common affliction with internet users who are in urgent need of the wahmbulance.[/Quote] 10,9,8,7... There you go again Snailboy , I see you are playing with words , I believe Teeny was speaking about the jokey story on here. Interestingly she pointed out God used us to change outcomes . Snailboy he's even used you upon this thread so much so there was a response , which has enabled them to have understanding of God . Thank you for that . Amazing . At least you kept one promise; you are still not contributing anything to this thread! :hihi: ---------- Post added 15-01-2016 at 23:55 ---------- no because God gave me the gift of sight so I use it !!!

redwhine Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 So am I misguided if I believe in Thor? If Thor appears at the bottom of my bed after preying to him, am I delusional? Or is Thor in reality your God dressed in horns and sheepskins..considering your God is the one and only? The thunder god rode out one day upon his favourite filly. "I'm Thor!" he cried. The horse replied... "Forgot your thaddle, thilly!" ---------- Post added 16-01-2016 at 00:31 ---------- I was asked by certain people to contribute more to this thread. Sounds like a plan to me. When do you plan on getting around to it? http://s3-media4.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/_lPd7xUHgwDparGZqMd9lQ/348s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never made a derogatory statement of what you believe , I have never likened belief in the living God as Santa , Easter bunny or the tooth fairy , which have no credible evidence of existence or is even tangible . God has given us a choice , we can ignore that choice, that choice takes you away from Gods best for your life . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeny Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 [/color] God chooses not to give blind people sight. Why does god hate blind people (...and amputees)? http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/ ("Mysterious ways" is a non-answer.) why would you believe he hates Blind people and amputees? he loves each one of so much he sent Jesus to save us , so selfless he gave his son willingly so we could be saved, from a life without God . ---------- Post added 16-01-2016 at 10:55 ---------- It could also be argued that Churchill was not a real Christian for allowing the firebombing of Germany. Truman not a real Christian for allowing the Atomic bomb to be dropped on Japan. Nelson Mandela not a real Christian for being a terrorist in an organisation that killed people. Isaac Newton not a real Christian as he was obsessed with the occult rather than religion. ---------- Post added 15-01-2016 at 22:14 ---------- This a quote from that letter that he wrote in 1954 a year before he died.. "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish." Richard Dawkins put in a bid at the auction of it but failed. T he gospel is written so a child can understand it, which is true but because man has to make things complicated , man has made assumptions which aren't correct and what more satan loves this but we do have a loving God who can if you allow change all that.

carosio Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 God has given us a choice , we can ignore that choice, that choice takes you away from Gods best for your life . I look at this another way: There are many who are non-religious yet devote their lives to the benefit of others and they are, in my eyes, just as valid and honorable as those who, although admirable, perform their duties (works) with the primary intention of pleasing their god and achieving immortality. These non-religious people of good-will believe in doing good for its own sake and do not seek rewards and false hopes yearning for the hereafter. That's the choice they make, with or without God.

flamingjimmy Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 some people are called to do mission for him in different areas and God can use any of us , we don't even have to be a Christian for God to use us for his purposes Person does good stuff: you get to claim it for god, even if they aren't Christian. Person does bad stuff: it's their free will! We all are sinners etc. Very childish and inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
