    What is god?

    The Dark Tower had an interesting take on atomic superstructure... A conflicting belief? Yours? Well. The point of discussion is to, well, discuss. That means argue too. What fun. Anywho, to answer your question of God's ultimate composition: I don't know what God's composed of, but it's nothing...

    Predestination v. Freewill

    That's not owing you it. That's like saying: I'll give you money if you want it. That's not owing anyone anything. If they don't want it, God is under no responsibility or inhibition to grant them it. There is a conditional to it: YOU WANT IT. God is all-knowing, and all-powerful...well. You'll...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Children, pop and Atown included with myself, generally have a lack of knowledge. In fact, that's 100% surefire truth. Kids are stupid. They lack experience. They haven't read everything. They don't know every aspect of everything. And God is the hardest thing to talk about and understand. And...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Umm, LoJ was directing it to Atown and pop, I believe, judging from the last paragraph. Who are you talking to Atown?

    Left Behind?

    So you judge difficulty of mental exercising by how fast you can read? If that were the case...then Lord of the Rings was not a difficult book series when I was ten. But it was difficult when I was twelve. ANd difficult when I was fourteen. What happened?

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Ouch, pop, are you going to sit at the comp and assume because I think God is very explicit in some things means I'm some ignorant cow turd who doesn't know Melchizedek from Peleg? That said. LoJ, you said you'd like to live a good life and enter heaven on that aspect? Is that your belief? To...

    What is god?

    Why wait for them? I'll do it. Science is about faith to a degree. Science is merely a seeking out, a sojourn of knowledge, and beyond that nothing more. This trek through knowing can help humans advance in ways that better our lives, and in ways that worsen our lives. It's funny, but it's true...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    So what would make you blindly follow God without knowing his motives? You don't know jack about God's ultimate intentions or why He does things, and yet you follow them without question. You don't even know if it's free will or predestination. We just have to wait until we're safely dead to...

    What is god?

    All right. According to the first law of thermodynamics, we deal strictly with the physical world, the tangible presence of THINGS. But God is intangible. Is there such an exception? Can there be a phenomena that science absolutely cannot explain? Like God? And if science can't be right 100% of...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Sniff...yeah, I agree. Time for some fun. God allowed Satan to do Job in basically, so to some ultimate degree, God was responsible for all of Job's suffering; Job didn't cry out to Satan: "Why are you punishing me?" He cried out to God. Even he knew who was responsible for his misery. It was...

    Left Behind?

    Pilgrim's Regress was friggin excellent. So was The Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet a very thought-provoking read; Perelandra sci-fi Eden; That Hideous Strength spiritually questioning). On to topic though...Left Behind's not truly thought-provoking. It's an idea that's happy to think...

    What is god?

    Has he ever? To lie would undo God. Without God, the universe would snap apart. It is God's Word that keeps everything functioning. To have the Word removed by creating a paradox of self-contradiction would not only eliminate God, but all things, and if nothing is, then there's really not much...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Ever read CS Lewis' The Space Trilogy? Fiction, but very interesting. According to him, there is definite life on other planets. Matter of fact, life very similar to ours. In some ways, superior. Splendid. I don't doubt life exists on other planets. Why not? What impact would that have on...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    But Eon, you didn't say astrologers...Atown did. Serfs for eternity...maybe. I guess the word for it would be "stewards". We would be serving God for the rest of non-time (which toggles the bims of my zitflangs) on a paradise Earth, re-creating what used to really suck. I don't think our...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    I have a feeling he did create us to fail. PRedestination. He made the world to fail, so he could remake it. Why though, I don't know. I dislike thinking too much about the unfathomability of God. He is simply believable, but at the same time, so unbelievable. I need help. And I can't get it...

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Umm...really, no purpose at all. Why do your gods need you, if I may? If your Gods are motivated by love, then what then is my God motivated by? Childish spoils? I doubt it. I think the reason He wants me in heaven is because, for some reason or another, He wants to give me something beautiful...

    apocrypha

    .....what? Oh, yeah, the Catholic warrior. What happened to him? He had some interesting stuff. And that guy whose bro got in trouble. I liked that guy. He had content to his stuff. I believe he had the questionable smiley sig...or was the Volont?

    Asatru 101: Basic Tenets and Beliefs

    Do we sit on our tush and watch as the world gets shot to hell, though? I wonder. And why won't Odin get some equipment upgrades? I mean, geez, going in swinging the bronze and charing with helmut is just a tad outdated. Get some napalm up to Ragnarok, nuke the minions straight to hell, snipe em...

    What is your religion?

    Lol, I actually said Muslim. Ha! My bad. Thanks for the notice. No, Atown, I wasn't talking about you...I was talking about the originator of the topic who has yet to respond to what has served as a pointless topic. I really enjoy how we flaunt that Christianity is such a big religion...it's a...
