Jenyar,
God answers your prayers, but not mine. He shows favoritism.

Sarkus,
I take there is only one God, and different religions understand this God differently.
Look at them. They get what they've asked for.
Apparently, they do.

wesmorris,
There goes proving that negative ...
Either God is a revealed God and interacts with His creation. Or God just sits there somewhere, and doesn't care -- then he can go fuck himself.

everneo,
Really? You sure?

Adstar,
Yes.
I think God is slack when it comes to me.

Lori_7,
Well, *I* would not know that.
?
Believing in God does not make one a Christian.
IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf.
But, it is God who grants understanding ...

Hapsburg,
No shit, Big Bang and evolution are "tangible"?
You really need to learn something about logic and how to apply it.

SkippingStones,
Because I am angry, and I won't let it boil up, and then show it little by little, just here an there. I rather say it as it is, instead of leaving people wondering about a hateful undertone in my posts.
In other words, "Be happy with whatever you have".
So I don't know what you would base your argument on. Based on who you are now, you are no more nor less condemned because of sin than any Christian had ever been. It is because God's love shown in Christ that we follow Him and call ourselves Christians. Not because He called us Christians and then loved us.
God answers your prayers, but not mine. He shows favoritism.

Sarkus,
Water, if you're not a Christian, then is your God the same one as theirs?
If not then why does it matter that their God loves them more than you?
I take there is only one God, and different religions understand this God differently.
If they are the same God then why do you feel that it loves them more than you? What makes you think that?
Look at them. They get what they've asked for.
Is it because of what the Christians believe about their God?
However, if you truly believe in whatever you believe in then it should make no difference what other people believe in, even if it's about the same entity/thing/God/whatever, as you "believe" your own beliefs to be true, regardless of what other people claim.
Other people's beliefs will only worry you / concern you if your own beliefs are failing and you are starting to feel that maybe the others (in this case, the Christians), have a better path - or some such thing.
Apparently, they do.

wesmorris,
As I'd think you to be aware of, anyone who tells you they have insight as to god's preference is uhm... well you know. So your premise is flawed.
Further, I'd think that if "god" were "just" then "he" would love you more than a christian who claimed god loves christians more.
There is no higher blasphemy IMO though, than to speak of "what god would think"... ...as if what "god" might "think" could be remotely comprehensible to humans. Unbelievable arrogance births such ponderance if asserted as more than folly.
There are no answers to questions of god(s).
There goes proving that negative ...
Either God is a revealed God and interacts with His creation. Or God just sits there somewhere, and doesn't care -- then he can go fuck himself.

everneo,
God told me, he loves you more than christians.
Really? You sure?

Adstar,
Wow That's an incredible statement, if it is your true feelings?
Yes.
2 Peter 3
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
I think God is slack when it comes to me.

Lori_7,
I've come to know a thing or two about God through rebirth in Christ, so I indeed call myself a Christian, and I do know very certainly that God does not love me or anyone else more than He loves you.
Well, *I* would not know that.
And isn't what you've said paradoxical? In that if you truly believe what you've attested to, then in doing so, you have actually defined yourself to be a Christian. A confused one, but one none the less.
?
Believing in God does not make one a Christian.
If you were to come to know God then it would be obvious to you through your interaction with Him that what you're saying is not true. You would know and understand, like I do, that He loves all of us the same...infinitely and unconditionally.
IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf.
But, it is God who grants understanding ...

Hapsburg,
No, it is logic that a deity that "created everything" and "has always existed" DOES NOT EXIST, especially when we are presented with viable, tangible, and more realistic theories and facts such as the Big Bang and Evolution.
Rationalism.
No shit, Big Bang and evolution are "tangible"?
You really need to learn something about logic and how to apply it.

SkippingStones,
Then why did you post it?
Because I am angry, and I won't let it boil up, and then show it little by little, just here an there. I rather say it as it is, instead of leaving people wondering about a hateful undertone in my posts.
It´s when we start taking ideas and ideals and lording them over our fellow humans that all that nasty emotional brawling starts. If you keep a sense of humor and notice your own fallability then it hurts a lot less.
(by ¨you¨ and ¨your¨ I don´t mean ¨you specifically¨)
In other words, "Be happy with whatever you have".
