Why atheists are so grouchy
Incredible insight.
Not to believe in God and His simple requirements to shed off sin, is uncomfortable for mans fleshy desires. Mankind lusts after many things like comfort, desire, pleasure, pride, control, power, freedom, etc, etc and to stroke and build his self esteem. This is called the natural man.
And this is in all of us to lesser or greater degree, but God is in control , loves us more than we understand what love is.
We are minions, insignificant, and truly feeble in relation to what God is, we are the clay, He is the Potter.
God has intelligence, ability, power,love and immeasurable qualities far beyond our comprehension to capture and understand them. He is God and God means simply God, you cannot go beyond or above that.
He is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent which there is no measure possible.
Our limited abilities fruitlessly try to challenge that with science, yet He made science, every molecule, atom, every ant, elephant, microorganism, everything, even the air we breathe is under His control.
Creation is love, man's lesser understanding of love has been seen in small masterpieces of which man himself has called masterpieces in art, architecture and literature to name a very few aspects of accolades.
We ogle at a DaVinci, Michelangelo, Monet and Van Gogh but this is only within our limited ability to fully comprehend beauty...the scale of our ability is so limited. With God , He is the Alpha and Omega.
We are limited to time and gauges, God is not...He made time and eternity...we cannot understand that because our abilities cannot see that.
So atheists limit God existence to their own limited understanding.
All 'em words & you end up saying practically sweet f.a. ................ you're a Plum bore .
Yes.
"Help people, be nice and do your bit for your family. The more you preach the further you push people away. No lesson is greater than an example. Just be that. More isn't necessary.
Yes."
Indeed
You are either insignificant or special...you can't be both.
What a load of cobblers, its a matter of perspective. In the context of the universe we are insignificant, the universe couldn't give a shit if we existed or not even if it wanted to and us ceasing to exist would not change the universe it would go unnoticed everywhere but here on earth, but in the context of mankind and our families we are special. I know for a fact I am special to my kids just as they are special to me.
Good point CFan. That should shut ButtPlug up for a while but we know he'll just blunder on and say something even more stupid.
Must add, I can't believe such an ignorant and childish post is actually getting hits . . . and now I'm guilty!
Come to think about it, Plum and Pakie, point taken in my enthusiasm to share, I became overbearing and verbose. It was not my intention.
I apologise, it is not very attractive and yes you are right.
‘ Rooi, is the ultimate test. If one can be nice to him then surely Nirvana awaits haha’
The biblical quote put it this way:
‘ Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
That’s the beauty of these biblical quotes, they always apply with the right perspective.
...and he even quoted scripture when it suited his agenda.
Oaks the scriptures have the answer. "What is man that thou art mindful of him the writer marvels. The very hairs on our head are numbered.
God gives us significance. End of story.
Two great posts by Seb and Plum as thoughtful as ever. We then crash down to Blobbrain and old crust.
As for Rooitwit given what he is I think I show him great respect. But I draw the l ine at allowing him to follow me on Twitter!
Atheists have no hope, see no reason for existence and live in fear of death which they know is a heartbeat away. Terrible to be a foolish atheist.
That’s the beauty of these biblical quotes, they always apply with the right perspective.
The beauty of relativism.
The OP is golden. Again.
Christians think that life on Earth is sufferings so no difference with atheists.
The difference sits with a belief in an after life.
Now what. Christian beliefs include the existence of an entity known as the enemy or something.
Master in confusion.
Now that, reading the Bible and how to enter the after life, many ways and contradictory to each other.
Only quoting three: the grace, the works, the faith.
The one god died on the cross to redeem all humanity.
People are saved through their behaviour.
It takes only to accept Jesus in one's heart to be saved.
But no grouchy Christians.
Trad, go have a cold one.
Nice one there Seb.
We set boundaries and God hits them all for a six.
