Whaaaaaaaaaat??? Where did you get such an idea from Link? black people hating small white kids????
I do agree that cities like Watts and Compton are finally getting the help to restore their neighborhoods. So things have change a bit.

🙂 well, you have said many times that maybe it was a divine origin, instead of God doing the miracles or healing...but now you're saying that a divine origin could be God/allah...So, i'm not really understanding what you're trying to say. What is a divine origin to you? and if you're saying that it could be God/allah, then for you to believe that then you would have to believe in a higher pwer, God maybe? or not? what are you saying cuz i'm confused now. 😉 😕

No.
I believe in loving whoever you choose to love unconditionally. I am in love with someone right now, and in doing so, i've dropped all my little defense mechanisms, and left myself vulnerable to her.
I trust that she will love me and not hurt me, just as I will love her and not hurt her.
Are we perfect? No. No relationship is perfect. We fight, we argue, we sometimes hurt eachothers feelings....but never maliciously. The best part of a relationship is working out your problems together...well that....and the sex! 😄

I am sure you understand what I meant though. Look at the middle east... it is hell for them now. But what is to say that there are not an infinate amount of other things that far surpass the terror and evil that is befalling them now?

Why not?

Several Billion... but if you interviewed all of them I am sure you would find that there is one person that is better suited to be your mate then any other. Would you prefer to limit yourself to sex for reproductive purposes only and not attactment whatsoever? That would be a fairly primative lifestyle.

I am sure most every man, and possably a number of women, would love an ontourage of sex mates. But... that is one of the things that seperate us from other animals.
And try not to look at it in terms of collective right and wrongs, but rather what you feel is right and wrong.
I always said maybe it was a divine origin (the important word here being MAYBE) were as you would claim with certainty that it is God (more specificaly the christian one).
I assumed you would have understood what I ment by Divine origin. (divine just means holy or from God) so a Divine origin would be a god (or possibily a Demi-God but I don't think there are still religions with Demi-Gods)
To me a divine origin doesn't exist, I don't believe in anything related to the Divine. I don't have to believe in the divine to say it could be the divine, I try never to close a door entirely. I can say that god MIGHT exist but that doesn't mean I believe he exists, for if I would believe that god exists there would not be a "might" in that sentence.
My believes are pretty basic they don't involve a divine being, a masterplan, a life after death or anything involving that hocus-pocus.

Like what? death? Hell has only ever been a place where your worst nightmares come to life. But if you are forced to be there for the rest of eternity...then what can hurt you? Aren't you basically immortal?
What happens when you face all of your fears and sort them out so they are no longer your fears? Does hell cease to exsist? Do you go up to heaven?
There's a flaw in your belief of Hell. Because if you can face your fears...then what does hell become like?
Why not?
Because there are more beautiful, heavenly places here on earth than you will ever be able to count. While you are busy rotting your life away in Canada...dreaming about how nice heaven is....why not actually go and enjoy a piece of it while you're still alive to witness it.
If my belief that death is actually the end, holds true....then haven't you just wasted your whole life dreaming about something that never did exsist?
Prove I exist.
more than i can say for god...
It is not.. but trust me, you would be the first guest I signed in, Brother! 🤘
Good because i'd hate for all my talents to go to waste! 😄

Besides, i kind of like the idea of clubbing my woman over the head and dragging her home.
It's kind of like picking out a live lobster at the super market ✅

See...now you're thinking!!!!naughty
And try not to look at it in terms of collective right and wrongs, but rather what you feel is right and wrong.
I'm only stating how I feel my man....that's all I can do.
FE> “if you're praying for a miracle how is that taking freewill away?”
Do you even read your own posts? You claim that all the evil that happens on Earth is due to our free will, and that God has chosen not to intervene so as to not mess with our free will.
But if you pray for a miracle, you ask for intervention. So if God answers your prayer he DOES intervene – and may even do so against free will, What if you pray for someone who does not WANT God to mess with his/her affairs?
And if God CAN intervene – as in answering prayers – then why can’t he intervene to prevent rape, murder, disease?
Hell: Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Mat 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Hell is going to be very painful, thats the point, you wont die, you will feel the pain, but you can't die, you will wish you could, but you will be in that torment 4ever.
Even if we grant that a "miraculous" event is indeed exceptional enough to warrant an exceptional explanation, it cannot be assumed that this supports theism. We could, for example, postulate that the event was caused by the incredible powers of human minds rather than the incredible powers of a god' s mind. This explanation is no less credible and in fact has the advantage that we know that humans minds exist, whereas the existence of a god' s mind is questionable.
The point is, if someone is going to advance one supernatural, paranormal or unusual explanation for an exceptional event, they have to be willing to consider every other supernatural, paranormal or unusual explanation. The question which thus faces the believer is: how can one possibly compare all these different explanations? How on earth can one reasonably support the idea that something occurred because of a god rather than human telepathy or ghosts?
I' m not sure that you can, but unless the believer is able to show why their supernatural explanation is preferable to all the others, their claims fall flat. This cuts to the very nature of what a valid explanation is. When you can' t show why your attempted explanation does a better job then mine, then you reveal that what you are saying does not really explain anything at all. It does not lead us to better understand the nature of the event and of our universe in general.
One problem for the argument from miracles is something which afflicts so many arguments for the existence of a god: it does nothing to support the likely existence of any particular god. Although this is a problem for many arguments, it does not immediately appear to be the case here - although any god might have created the universe, it seems that only the Christian God would likely be causing miraculous healings in Lourdes.
The difficulty here lies in the fact referenced above: every religion seems to make claims of miraculous events. If one religion' s claims are right and that religion' s god exists, what is the explanation for all the other miracles in other religions? It seems unlikely that the Christian God was causing miraculous healings in the name of ancient Greek gods at one time.

In essence you are immortal. Doesnt mean pain is not present.

Never said I was dreaming and wasting away waiting for heaven. There is a lot I want to get to see while I am here. There is beauty in everything on Earth, that is true. Just imagine what God is keeping for himself and the next life.
