Does this mean actions,"The dog bit me because I wore steak sauce cologne" or existence,"The dog bit me because thousands of years ago man domesticated a wolf or wolf-like mammal..."<BR/><BR/>Why do people assume that in the absence of an obvious cause for some tremendous event, it definitely was God or was not caused at all? One question I struggle with, as a christian, is this: if God came into existence with the big bang and is less than omnipotent, is He less of a God than that which should be worshipped? I know, this is sort of like the bully on the playground idea, but I do wonder sometimes. My point, isn't it sort of silly to say "definitely" anything about an event we really have no knowledge of? Isn't all such thought just "best guess"?Mr. Hamtastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964174033521141144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-47378916833171549782009-03-24T09:42:00.000+00:002009-03-24T09:42:00.000+00:00I guess I don't understand.

Eventually, he went off on a long preaching rant and I had to kick him from the chat room. In other words, I doubt it would be useful to open a dialogue with him.mjarsulichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699622227304194178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-36353701358571240272009-03-21T21:10:00.000+00:002009-03-21T21:10:00.000+00:00Troy Brooks has been banned from Internet Infidels...Troy Brooks has been banned from Internet Infidels under many, many guises, mostly for his inability to interact rationally with other people.<BR/><BR/>Of course, 2000 years ago people like Paul would write letters describing how an angel of Satan was plaguing them, and how the resurrected Jesus would speak to him telling him to grin and bear it.<BR/><BR/>And nobody would dream of questioning his sanity, not even when he described how he went to the third Heaven.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the Jesus character tells how the Queen of Sheba would be raised from her grave to fulfill the important duty of condemning 1st century Jews for not believing Jesus.<BR/><BR/>So obviously in the 'Lord, Liar, Lunatic' trilemma, we can cross out Lunatic as a possibilty....Steven Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983601793874190779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-49385561230316206372009-03-21T17:54:00.000+00:002009-03-21T17:54:00.000+00:00Americans don't do irony.Americans don't do irony.anticanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135207107619114891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-17859496025789891862009-03-21T14:34:00.000+00:002009-03-21T14:34:00.000+00:00Codeword,I wasn't trying to mock soccer fans, but ...Codeword,<BR/>I wasn't trying to mock soccer fans, but you probably realized that. :) And good one - indeed a soccer fan realizes his team lost, and doesn't just deny it and look like a moron.
