This is what I don't get about the anti-gay crowd

Nice dream. maybe if you pray for that GOD will put you in charge of that kind of world after you die.

but currently, you're in a world that's structure where you DO feel pain and suffering, amongst other emotions and obstacles and you have to navigate those using the GOD given tools he gave you from birth, such as your freedom, your free will, your mind, your body, all the tools that will help you stay alive and well to be able to follow him in truth. We were created to serve him, not ourselves.

Mankind is focused on the pleasures of life more than the treasures of life. His biggest most fatal mistake.

 

Sometimes I forget about 'fundamentalism'; but it is worth keeping in mind as you suggest above.

Things do tend to become futile, when one argues things with a religious fundamentalist.

 

You've actually just described the manipulators and moochers on Wall Street.

 

That's pointless because I know he doesnt exist.

I think you'll find my parents gave me those tools, not God.

LOL What utter nonsense! Why should I serve such a freak! If anything he should be serving me - all of us!

God's fault then - according to you he "gave us those mistakes".

 

Why is he against it?

 

How do you know that? Did he specifically call you or send a text message? Did he actually write that in the Bible (assuming he actually wrote it, period)?

 

Good questions, but I know from being indoctrinated as a Christian from an early age... that those questions make many VERY uncomfortable. Many will 'trigger' on whatever challenges what they've been taught and block out any logic which may alter their positions. I used to fear questioning anything I had been TOLD was true; but the bouts with various cognitive dissonances resonating in my mind as an adult, eventually led to me having to think more freely about things.

Yes, I used to be a fundamentalist; I can hardly believe that was ever me.

 

Hold on there, I thought God couldn't make mistakes, because he's God.

 

Yes. I've posted many scriptures showing/proving this.

 

Then why blame him for the world you live in now? If he doesn't exist don't blame him for the crap life world we live in, blame mankind.

But who gave to them? and their parents? and their parents?

It had to start somewhere. right? Mankind didn't just come up with all these laws of nature and the human body on his own.

Satan is willing to serve you. Try him.

You can't blame your free will mistakes on GOD. for he wouldn't have given it to you.

 

He doesn't make mistakes. but by creating a free-will being that operates on it's own accord can.

Think of it like how mankind is trying to creat A.I. but better. that's proof they would love to be GOD but cannot.

GOD is the only creator of A.I. aka Mankind. We are Artificial Intelligence.

 

Even so, massive problems come along, when extremely religious people seek to IMPOSE their beliefs on other human beings.

There is no getting around that. So, while I can agree with certain religious beliefs... I don't buy the untenable notion that all must adhere to some religious belief which is imposed upon them.

 

Proving what he said and subsequently wrote, and not what someone else after him wrote since mankind has tweaked the Bible multiple times in history?

 

Welcome to the real world!!! We are glad to have you.
