My view on this is that of a magic trick, after the mystery is revealed you start to lose your innate wonder as it has been explained to you, the mech...

It’s not for lack of wanting to define God, it’s for my inability to articulate them with factual accuracy rather than anything. Sure I can throw arou...

The manner of my eventual demise be it peacefully or otherwise is of little relevance at this point. Of course I’d prefer the former rather than a lon...

Very good question and most theists would probably say yes to that. For me the definition of omnipotence is a double edged sword which can easily lead...

What really gets me as I previously stated is simply the recognition of everlasting existence or even that of a creator who is eternal contrasted to m...

I take all religious text/scripture with a pinch of salt. As a man with a well formed conscience I’d like to think, I always try to do what is right a...

Haha there is no discontent here at all. It is of course a big if whether eternal life can be granted to mortals (like me and you). I happily accept b...

No such emotion, just mere curiosity as to its motives. He/she does kinda work in mysterious ways. Or maybe it knows me and my big mouth so well that ...

Like dealing with a disgruntled wife I’m getting the silent treatment on this very question. Perhaps I shall have to appease with flowers and cake.
March 09, 2023 at 12:43
Did it now ? If you are gonna insist on being a muppet at least be a cheerful one. See my previous comment. This very closely aligns to my idea of ete...

It’s a thought that i myself occasionally ponder. I mean who doesn’t want to live forever? Apparently some don’t and I hold that against no one. To be...

There is neither implied nor intended whine. Perhaps the tone of the text has been misinterpreted from yourself ? In any case. My point is this and ac...

In a way it is. The brevity of a miserable or joyful existence has its merits. If you’re unhappy or miserable you want it to be over. The Christian pr...

I find it odd if not bizarre that every conceivable human emotion, memory all but disappear entailing that your life really meant nothing despite its ...

Universe, explain yourself …
March 08, 2023 at 21:59
The universe really does owe me an explanation for giving me the ability to recognise the fact that I came to be in it in this human form for such a l...
March 08, 2023 at 21:58
No shit, Sherlock. I’m talking about eternity in terms of eternal existence and the consciousness of man therein. Don’t see where your triangles have ...
March 08, 2023 at 21:20
As a theist though I do have to admit that the invocation of God to explain existence, the beginning of and other derivative questions does seem crude...
March 08, 2023 at 20:34
As a theist or God believer myself the opinions of atheists has no bearing on my belief system just as much as my belief system has a bearing on the a...
March 08, 2023 at 20:30
Another interesting thought I had. In the face of eternity does the concept of time lose its meaning? Just thinking out loud here.
March 08, 2023 at 20:09
Interesting … can you confirm that you are saying the eternal is in fact static or unchanging? Is it so by the way it’s defined or a fact? In any case...
March 08, 2023 at 20:05
What makes you an expert on the eternal to make such a blanket statement. I have no idea myself perhaps you could elaborate? Do you have a clear idea ...
March 08, 2023 at 19:47
I’d just like to hang out for a few millennia longer. Imagine what one could accomplish in that timeframe. I could be a master of all arts and science...
