Quote from Max Profit:
There is no way thunderbolt could understand beacuse he is not a sovereign being. He is dependent, afraid and in need of validation from up high. All this Beacuse he was taught these fantasies when he didn't know any better, taught to be fearful and dependent. In reality he is in awe and fearful of those who can use their own minds. He just doesn't trust his own mind.
there is no way the universe is built on moral principles. This is just the same as saying the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it. It is the desire of man to be special in the universe. So in reality religion is nothing more than the fear of insignificance and a finite existence coupled with the supreme arrogance of man.
Man must look at himself honestly and be his own God. Accept himself and his situation without resorting to fantasy. Then the road is clear to move forward.
The "unbeliever" is strong beacuse he looks at himself honestly instead of denying himself and reality like the believer does.

ELCubano,
Messy and contradictory statements you have there let alone a sever lack of imagination
all these were "beliefs" at one stage,
the ability to communicate through thin air , the ability to fly , the ability to escape earth's gravity, the ability to halt disease by vaccination , the ability to know and chronicle every gene in the human body
coming up in the next (n) generations... the ability to manipulate genes to defeat disease and control or halt tissue deteriortion , the ability to know all there is to know about existence.
I for one am grateful that freethinkers, scientists and biologists continue to believe that humanity can make progress and that the impossible can become possible.
They drag the unimaginative forward until they arrogantly accept and take for granted all that which has been achieved on their (your) behalf
Thunderbolt,
Max Profit said it.
Also, do yourself a favor and the folks around you.
Grow Up.
hahahahahahahaQuote from thunderbolt:
The Bible says that God loves you so much that the Creator of this universe (Jesus Christ) came to "taste death" for every man. Jesus wasn't just some baby for a manger scene. He is God come in the flesh to destroy the power of death and hell--He holds the keys, people! If you say yes to Jesus, hell won't be your final destination. If you say no to Jesus, hell will be your eternal home. There ain't no getting out and no comfort--it's everlasting.
Regardless of whether you believe it or not, hell exists and the Bible says that it is never full. I've heard folks say that hell is not mentioned in the Bible or that hell is just the grave. Well, let's take a look at what the Bible says. Here are a few scriptures that deal with hell and the lake of fire (at the final judgment, hell, death and those not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake fire):
Matthew 25:41 (Jesus speaking to people at final judgment), ...Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
Revelation 14:11, And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night...
Revelation 20:12, 15, And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Matthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Luke 12:5, But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which AFTER he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
