crazy hypothetical religion question

i understand your trilemma .
seriously though max, i figure you probably hate these threads but feel obligated to engage in them. if that's true i'm sorry for that. i actually was thinking that this was turning into one of the more interesting ones. for my part, i am not trying to belittle you, rhester, or any believers. you are at a disadvantage in that you are steadfast in your beliefs about Him. notice the use of a capital letter, i never do that, i'm trying to show some respect here. i have the feeling that you don't often get where i'm coming from. what i'm saying is that i don't think those who follow religion are liars or madmen, they have simply made a choice. sishir and univac have made eloquent posts about this. like religions among one another we also just have to tolerate each other.

 

Just about everyone will say Jesus lived on earth and loved people.

 

By definition a religious person is someone who subscribes to a religion. A spiritual person would be someone who has faith but doesn't necessarily follow a particular creed. Rhester and Mad Max are religious, they're self-admitted Jesus freaks after all, but not dogmatic or shrill.

 

Things are getting a little too civil here,

could we switch over to abortion or creation?

Please no,no,no

I have a very small amount of faith in a very very big God.

 

Call it what you will. I was not aiming to be wholly accurate with regard to definitions.



Some people are soooooo anal.
