Go figure? And what have you found after figuring??Which is strange, as the ideology behind god makes him a dictator. Satan (Lucifer) was his right hand man, and when he thought he could do better, God pushed him out. The rules are, do good, believe in me or you go to hell...go figure...
Go figure? And what have you found after figuring??
...I don't think you quite understand the meaning of that...
Definition:
a phrase used by itself as an interjection to mean "How can one explain that?", or to express puzzlement over some seeming contradiction.
Quite right that's why gods kingdom is not of this worldWell, actually the ideal of communism is fantastic. The trouble is, at a human level, we can't even handle democracy without corruption so communism doen't stand a chance.

Smile!! That's funny but genuinely I reject that understanding of gods sovereignty as shown in true human form-Jesus.
Just wondered if you rejected this vengeful god and explored the god we see portrayed in the life of Jesus if it made more sense.
No biggy though!
It's the difficulty with anthrapomorsing the creator! We need to see the evolution of human understanding of our creator and make the cultural links to bring his kingdom in of peace, justice and loveThat's not how god's heaven is said to work though. Its his way or the highway. That's a dictatorship.
...what? That doesn't make sense.
Feel like I am forcing my opinion on you and don't want to. So tell me to knob off if you wish!!
Religion is not what will Stanley was on about and it's not what my faith in god is about its about relationship with the creator of the universe. My life makes sense as I seek to follow Jesus example of peace, justice and love. I believe we make mistakes about the character of god - his way or the highway for instance, when we hear people talk about their religion or when we fail to see that our understanding of who and what god is has evolved through the history of time!
What didn't make sense??
The only thing I feel sonetines either way belief or unbelief is if people have either opinion just cause of what their parents or friends believe and don't try things out or question it for themselves. God bless tadYour previous point. This one makes more sense though. I suppose if you believe in this, then that's your take. I don't though. Too many theories in theories upon theories...
Christian social justice is where I am!! I think power corrupts and once in power doing all one can to keep it rather than loving enemies!!
Don't get me wrong, there are forward thinking liberal/socialist/communist religious thinkers like Giles Fraser, a very forward thinking clergyman, but, largely, politics and religion usually polarises to the right, because the bible is knotted up in contradictions, I could use the bible to argue left and right stances, Thatcher used certain parts of the bible to justify her economic policy. An example of right thinking in religious is, gay marriage, yes, there will be staunch opposition now, in 50 odd years, history will not forgive them and the gay community will largely be accepted, in this country anyway, but not yet for Bible Belt states in the US or Arab nations. Just out of curiosity, and if you're willing to disclose such information, where do you stand on the banana skin of a question?
The Catholic Church in particular has been one of the most corrupt institutions in history, for centuries have abused its power and exploited many people, sorry if you're a catholic, but it's true (btw, I'm from a non-practising agnostic/catholic family)
I think all religion is bollocks.
You know football supporting could be termed religious don't you?? Actually now I think about it you could be correct!!
