It is Orthodox Christian teaching that we are all the children of god and he is our father. So, why do the christians worship Jesus? Because he was the son of gid? Well according to them I am "the lords" child so why don't they worship me?
Provita said:There is a difference... Jesus, supposedly, for i cant say it is fact, is the Son of God, both God and Man 100%
We are the sons and daughters of God, 100% man (being the race, not gender.)
Besides, supposedly, Jesus was concieved by the Holy Spirit, who IS God...
we were concieved by our mom and dad...
Thats just my piece though.
Provita said:There being no god, or him being the sun, as from other threads, is your belief... and you're entitled to it... as I am entitled to mine... by stating urs as fact doesnt make mine wrong, cause your belief isnt necessarily FACT... neither is mine... that it why it is called a BELIEF...
Provita said:Athiests constantly complain that Theists, and even more so Christians, press their beliefs onto you and you want them to stop and let you be... why dont you do the same?
Now please, lets return to the subject...

Provita said:uhhh.... in lay man's terms... no belief, including all religions and athiesm and agnosticism and the rest, is definitely fact... it is only believed to be fact... so using the argument that "my religion is right, urs is wrong, therefore i win the debate" is useless...
this is where your er, atheism, is not a belief, just the opposite, atheism is the natural way of things, the religious have just diversified in to fantasy.Provita said:I did think for myself... I just said that I think that no one can really say their BELIEF, not RELIGION (and i even stated this above, if you actually READ the thing) but BELIEF, which includes athiesm, agnosticism, and thiesm, is true...
I think you'll find no atheist, actually asserts atheism as the truth, but it appears that way because it's the more reasonable position, which the religious cant argue against.Provita said:it is simple all they can say is that they believe it is true...
probably because it's M*W opinion, which I must say is a more logical position then a fantasy god thing, and a fantasy jesus thing.Provita said:These "12 people" being the zodiac is interesting, and i applaud that theory, but it seems to me from these posts and other threads that you link EVERYTHING to stars, the zodiac, and constelations, without (or atleast i havent seen any of your more recent posts containing) any links to anyone SUPPORTING your idea... you claim others do, but you give no links or their arguments or anything... but I do admit, it is an interesting concept.
Provita said:Im sorry, I thought your previous posts and threads against me were hilarious, but this one is the best so far!! You see to hate me, so you intend to somehow bring me down with childsih insults, but do as you like... I wont sink down to that much of a level of immaturity... anyways...So please, stop to needless replies that have NOTHING to do with the thread... if you want to say something, make your own... you've done it uncountable times before.*************
M*W: I don't hate you, Provita, I don't hate anyone. You don't have to believe my opinions. All I want is for people to read what I write but pursue it for themselves. I just want to encourage people to use their minds! I apologize for being too abrupt. I was tired and impatient.
I did think for myself... I just said that I think that no one can really say their BELIEF, not RELIGION (and i even stated this above, if you actually READ the thing) but BELIEF, which includes athiesm, agnosticism, and thiesm, is true... all they can say is that they believe it is true... If you have a problem with that, which is in no way offensive or against anyone... well, im sorry, but try and debate this in a mature and calm manner... instead of throwing around the word 'bitch' and the 'likes of you' and telling me to 'get a life' when you yourself have been on this forum much longer than me... heh... and Im only on weekends, and rarely at that, because I have better things... but keep the insults flying Medicine Woman... [sarcasm] you sure as hell make this community seem Intelligent [sarcasm/], which I believe is the slogan for sciforums, by throwing needless insults as if to make these debates personal... but whatever, do as you please...
*************
M*W: Atheism is not "a belief."
These "12 people" being the zodiac is interesting, and i applaud that theory, but it seems to me from these posts and other threads that you link EVERYTHING to stars, the zodiac, and constelations, without (or atleast i havent seen any of your more recent posts containing) any links to anyone SUPPORTING your idea... you claim others do, but you give no links or their arguments or anything... but I do admit, it is an interesting concept.

M*W: Well, at least you are thinking for yourself! The cosmological avenue of research I'm taking is fairly recent. When I first came to sciforums, I believed there was a higher power and that Jesus actually existed. I researched the whole Mary Magdalen thing and adamantly believed in that theory. I was quite verbal about the MM connection in France, but lately came to realize that, too, was impossible. Oh, the belief in MM in France is definitely a growing trend, but now I can see that the story about MM has repeated itself throughout history, too, and it is all cosmological. My curiosity drives me in this direction, because it's the ONLY aspect of xianity that I can see.
By the way, this thread asked: It is Orthodox Christian teaching that we are all the children of god and he is our father. So, why do the christians worship Jesus? Because he was the son of gid? Well according to them I am "the lords" child so why don't they worship me?
*************
M*W: That does seem to be the way xians think. It's obvious even on this forum that xians think they're better than everybody else. That's what xianity teaches... that christians are a 'people set apart.'
The thread did not ask "does God exist" or "does Jesus exist"... It asked if everyone is the son of God, then why do we only worship Jesus, as the Son of God? So coming in here and saying that neither exist doesnt answer the question, but kills the thread... you tell me to be open and think for myself, yet you dont analyze the question and let people answer, instead you say, without a doubt, and with no absolute proof, that niether are in existence... it is a needless post that kills the subject, a good subject in that...
*************
M*W: My aim is NOT to "kill the thread" but to enhance it. As long as people continue to be stuck in erroneous beliefs, they will NOT think for themselves.
Have a nice day
Provita said:I fully respect your views MEdicine Woman (sorry if we got off on the wrong start) ... but why isnt Athiesm and Agnosticism a belief? if not... what if is? Dont you believe there is no god(s) ?
wouldnt that make him half man half god?Provita said:There is a difference... Jesus, supposedly, for i cant say it is fact, is the Son of God, both God and Man 100%
again wouldnt that makes us 50% gods then?We are the sons and daughters of God, 100% man (being the race, not gender.)
doesnt the Holy trinity means they are all One and the same thing aka God=JC=Holy spirit?Besides, supposedly, Jesus was concieved by the Holy Spirit, who IS God...
we were concieved by our mom and dad...
