Do we see our 'humanness" as God-given or not? Our feelings as God-given or not?
Does God cry? If so, WHY would that be seen as a "weakness"?
Are we so filled with hubris that we see crying as weak?
I’m an atheist. I don’t see anything as ‘god-given’ nor does it make logical sense to me a god would have feelings, as I previously explained (but you apparently didn’t read or understand what I stated prior to quoting me and repeating the same comment re: weakness). Obviously, feelings are human (and, again, I certainly didn’t state they were weak).
That said, you aren’t answering my question. Why would a god have feelings or care about one religion over another (other than bias i.e. showing favorites, lol). From my perspective, it wouldn’t be very godly. ;-) Who would he love? Hate? Pity? Judge?

Sorry Cowboy, but I admit that I haven't read ALL of your posts. My bad.
But I gotta ask...WHY doesn't it make sense to you that God wouldn't have feelings? I mean, if we're created in God's image and all...

From what I sall.w, that wasn't your question.
Personally, I don't see God as favoring one religion over another, even though I'm Catholic.
Not sure if you know about Howard Storm's "visit to heaven". But supposedly, he asked God, 'What is the TRUE religion?' And God answered: Which ever one brings you closer to God.
That's kind of how I see it.
While I say that I'm Catholic, it doesn't mean that I adhere to ALL of Catholic beliefs.

Put THAT in yer pocket, LOL!
God's Truth matters.
I can hardly believe you are promoting someone speaking for God and what he says is not in the Bible.
See why salvation is near those who fear Him?
God is Truth and if people were more afraid of speaking for God and preaching falseness then there would be more who found the Truth.

God's truth matters. *YOURS* does not. Telling people that they're "sinning" because they've had a different experience from you, isn't God's truth. It's YOURS.
I may not have had Mystic's experiences in life. But I'm not about to deny those experiences...

People having an "experience" that goes against God in the Bible is important to tell them.

Mystic goes around telling me all the time I am wrong. Go shoo.
