Subject: Re: Merry Christmas Author: Godless Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:13:37 12/24/10 Fri In reply to: webchuck 's message, "Merry Christmas" on 13:56:22 12/24/07 Mon No it doesn't and no I am not searching for a silly assed explanation about anything. Salvation is Free because its an idea. Being a nice person has nothing to do with anything other then the space between your ears. If you did any shopping this year you quickly realize that nobody cares about a celebration of truth. All they want is a few days off, a visit with family and a few good meals. Perhaps a present or too. It is not a group movement to give up free will unless that is expressed by purchasing so much junk. For me it is a little down time before the New Year starts, The family card games, the big dinners and some putter time around the house generally not doing a whole lot. Going to church is the farthest thing from my mind. The universe contains perhaps 10E23 Earth like planets. This is a difficult estimate because we really don't know the actual size of the Universe, we just understand in a few places that there are planets and that is extrapolated across the universe we know about. The Concept of a creator actively managing the accounts of all souls living in all those places puts this concept in the bin with Zeus hauling the Sun across the sky with a horse and chariot, not likely. I think Ricky Garvis's point that Born again Christians are 99.99% Atheists is well done. Since there are 2500 plus gods invented on the earth and you Bible thumping people don't believe in all of them but one. You mostly don't believe in all gods either. So the reality Tim is that you are mostly and Atheist but just can't bring your self to admit it. Not being able to prove a supernatural being is pretty much a constant problem for every belief structure based on a "God". You can sell ideas all day but at the end of the day being a nice person as proved over and over by real men is determined by the space between your ears. Its your choice to be a good or bad person and wearing a cross around you neck doesn't make it happen. Have a happy Holiday and put that tired text down for a bit. Get up off your butt and take a walk in the woods. This is where Salvation of the real kind exists not in the pages of that book. Its also free and available to anyone who has the energy to exploit it. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
