When Gary told me he had found Jesus, I thought, Ya-hoo! We're rich! But it turned out to be something different.

You have closed your mind to other possibilities.

so, let's see how open your mind is to other possibilities, bodine.

you think it's possible that there is no God?

you think it's possible that the God you say you believe in is really just a fairy tale written by men in order to control other men?

is your mind open to other possibilities?

There are plenty of facts supported by archeology.



Interesting.



Is this "God" dude buried as a fossil somewhere ?



You have closed your mind to other possibilities.



Science accepts new facts as they arise.



That is open-mindedness.



You, on the other hand, refuse to acknowledgefacts as they areand the continued lackof facts concerning your stated claims.



That, jethro, is close-mindedness.



Go figure. :)






jethro bodine 11/8/04 8:07am



there you go again! You prove your mind is closed with every post.



Is it wrong to ask for directions ? :)



Youasked us to tell the "God" dude our views,- youneed to tell us where to meet him in person.



No idea ?



Thanks for playing. :)

Science accepts new facts as they arise.
Yes but you know there is a great possibility that new facts will arise yet you doggedly cling to what is known now.



That is open-mindedness. No that is limiting one's mind to things that it may not be able to grasp although they may well exist.



You, on the other hand, refuse to acknowledgefacts as they areand the continued lackof facts concerning your stated claims. What facts do I fail to acknowledge?



Youasked us to tell the "God" dude our views,- youneed to tell us where to meet him in person.

Again more proof of your closed mind. Where do you get that sealant? It is really good stuff.

You are running a wild goose chase.



What is FACT for nowis TRUE for now and forever.



Under normal temperture and pressure, Fire melts icecubes. That is a fact now and forever.



Fire will never freeze water into ice. Not now, not ever.



Only some
theoriesabout the oldfacts MAYchange IF
new Facts arise that undermine present INTERPRETATION of those oldfacts.



The old facts THEMSELVES won'tchange.



Exactly HOW fire melts ice is a theory that MAY change with NEW facts, but the FACT that fire MELTS ice ITSELF will not change.



OTOH, a persistent lackof facts regarding your claimsnecessitates discarding them UNLESS you have factsto prove otherwise.



There has neverbeen an observed FACT that proves a green goblin called "God" exists.



That lackof Fact persists.



Unless you have factsto prove otherwise, there is no reasonto ACCEPT ( at this point in time ) that the green goblin called "God" dude exists.



Go figure. :)





No that is limiting one's mind to things that it may not be able to grasp although they may well exist.



The Pink Elephant on the Dark Side of Uranus may also exist, but your mind may not be able to grasp it.




Factsare observable by sensory data and conceivable by the mind. Fictionsare not.



Is your "God" dude observable?



If not, it is simply a fictitious figment of your crazed imagination.



Thanks for playing. :)

what you believe to be fact may not be so. God may be a fact whether you know it or not.



Under normal temperture and pressure, Fire melts icecubes. That is a fact now and forever.  it is all relative to the conditions. you have learned nothing. You think you know it all but there is so much you do not.



OTOH, a persistent lackof facts regarding your claimsnecessitates discarding them UNLESS you have factsto prove otherwise. Then you risk missing a lot.



There has neverbeen an observed FACT that proves a green goblin called "God" exists. Look around you. the chances are that something created what you see. something created the facts that you so cling to so dearly.



That lackof Fact persists. No there is plenty of fact



Unless you have factsto prove otherwise, there is no reasonto ACCEPT ( at this point in time ) that the green goblin called "God" dude exists. An arrogant person would so conclude.








Factsare observable by sensory data and conceivable by the mind. Fictionsare not.

just becuase you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. dogs hear sounds you can't.



Is your "God" dude observable? yes he is just not under the terms you wish to limit yourself to.



If not, it is simply a fictitious figment of your crazed imagination. You are so certain of things. but people once thought the world was flat. At one time people thought the atom was the smallest particle of matter.  Open your eyes and your heart you may see some things that you deny.

No there isplenty of fact



That's preciselywhat we want, jethro.



Give us some facts, not fiction and imagination.



I want to meet this "God" dude in person. Show him to me! :)





Then you risk missing a lot.



I risk missing a lot by not coveting my neighbour's buxom wife, or not having a lap dance from a stripper.



So what ?





just becuase you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. dogs hear sounds you can't.



There are electromechanical devices that extendmy sensory apparatus.



I canhear sounds that dogs hear. Science hasmade it possible.





 yes he is just not under the terms you wish to limit yourself to.



That's the problem, jethro.



If he cannot show himself under OBSERVABLE human sensory range, this "God" dude is notomnipotent.



And, scientifically, there is a persistent
lackof facts to prove that the green goblin called "God" exists.



QED.





Look around you. the chances are that something created what you see. something created the facts that you so cling to so dearly.



There is a difference between somethingand someone.



Is it necessarythat "someone" create Facts ?



Then whocreated this "God" dude ? :)



If you say "God" doesn't need to be created, why is it necessaryfor FACTS to be "created" by this fictional villain called "God" ? :)



Is "God" nota FACT as well ? :)

It is not a question of cannot but will not. Of course, God could impose his will on you if he so chose.  But here is a fact for you spock. You refuse to believe. You refuse to consider the possibility that there is a God. Fine. You have been given free will that allows you to do so. But there is no point discussing the matter because you have rejected it out of hand. Now, just like crabs you go on ignore, not becuase of intolerance on my part but simply because you are a waste of time.

Of course I can fly to Uranus on a Maple Leaf if I so choose, but will not.



Of course I could have had an orgy with Keira Knightley, Beyonce Knowles, Alicia Rio and Britney Spears if I so chose, but did not.



Aren't I omnipotent ?



You refuse to believe.



I refuse to be brainwashed.



You refuse to consider the possibility that there is a God.



I am open to allpossibilities.



And I simply SEEKevidence before I accept anyclaim.



You are closed to ALL OTHER possibilities except that in which you believe WITHOUT evidence.



And you simply DEMANDcompliance from everyone to what youclaim, and cannot provide evidence for.



It is now obvious that youhave the closed mind and heart, and a fanatic intolerance and bigotry matching your ignorance.



No wonder you folded, and decided to run with your tail between your legs.



Thanks for playing. :)

Last night, on the History Channel, I watched a long show about Alexander the Great. It was pretty interesting. He died pretty young, only 32; but by the time he died, he had conquered much of Asia.

He would visit the Oracle at Delphi, Greece, in search of his identity. He wanted to know whether he was a man, or god conceived by Zeus. He was also a student of Egyptian religion.

something that apparently makes you run away with your tail between your legs you people, at one time, were a source of amusement with all your hate filled rants against Christianity. But I am tired of it now. You offer nothing on this topic just like crabs and spock. adios  May God forgive you.

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.

Hey Jethro Bodine

 

Sounds like you know a lot about the truth and God and all evidence for it.  Do you know where Abel and Caine's wives came from?  or how Caine suddenly found a lotta people in a no-man's land so that he could marry someone and build a big town to rule??  I am sure you know so  much so that you can answer my questions.
