If there's really is a god, why is there not only one religion? (Commandment, evolution) - Religion and Spirituality -Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism, God, Universe, Science, Spirituality, Faith, Evidence - Page 14 - City-Data Forum

By the way, cupper, I was not speaking to you (or to anyone specifically) in my prior message; I was speaking generically to fundamentalism / ists. But you probably knew that, despite the sloppy usage of pronouns.

I'm sure this comment made sense to you when your fingers stroked the keyboard, however, the rest of us are perplexed.

In the future, either be clearer in your enunciation, or quote the person you are intending to be targeted.

You have not answered whether churches should lose their charitable status as "Christianity is not a religion", and as such, they no longer qualify.

You could always strive for coherence.

God said "few" would stay the path and wide was the path to destruction, that "many" would go.

The implications of that? Christians= "FEW" - NOT BILLIONS.

~ learn the parable of the "tares" ~ it's "many" of you.

Are you saying that you're part of the 144,000?

The parable of the tares and the wheat is not strictly the province of JWs. The general idea is that True Believers will always be a tiny minority. I guess he's proud to gloat, so to speak. Since he has no coherent point to make and one of his first posts laid a direct charge of stupidity on one of his interlocutors, his continued (and quite ungodly!) superciliousness and arrogance is no surprise at all.

In the several years I've been here only three other people have earned a blocked status from me, and one of those has earned a probation. This one, though, went there almost immediately -- quite an accomplishment. as it usually takes a few months for me to decide someone is a lost cause.

Tellingly, I'm not missing out on anything ... I can follow the substance of his diatribes just from snippets in quoted replies. But I am spared the slog of reading them directly at least.

yeah, block stone logic when it gets in the way of your emotional stance against an imaginary beast when its you. lmao

The tiny seed is knowledge and understanding verses a "list of facts'. The upper 10% understand what the "facts" mean and they don't deny them because of fear. To ever claim that we are afraid to "let them see and teach them to understand because they misuse it ..." In part, That's what Jesus stood against.

But hey, who cares when we have spirit wear as our base reason to form up and hurt others. Goooo A-team.

The life of God (religion) is also a part of God, and is God.

having one religion is like having one type of life form. It just doesn't seem to work. Use powers of ten and look "smaller" and "larger" by a million, million, million, million, million's. thats just 30.
