you only believe in what your physical senses tell you, you dismiss the spiritual as fantasy. You say that those of us that believe in God and claim to have a relationship with him are delusional or at least fooling ourselves. You think we believe in a God invented by our primitive ancestors.
Imagine for a moment what it must be like for those of us that have had an experienced with God through faith to see a world full of people that haven't had that experience. Think of how heartbreaking it must be to listen to people say "there is no God" when we have a very real spiritual union with the one that made us.
Of course, you haven't had that experience, and everything you see and hear and have learned convinces you that there is no God. You only believe what you know through your physical senses.
There IS more to know than just what your senses tell you.
The question is not "where's the evidence", but HOW can I know that there is something beyond what my physical senses tell me?
I hesitate to start this thread because I know full well that the prevailing thought and philosophy of this world is so deeply ingrained in your mind. You have it in your mind that life on this planet came about by chance. You have volumes of evidence. You are fully convinced. I don't know what can change your mind. I know it won't be me.
So don't think that I'm trying to "prove" anything because I'm not.
I just had a few minutes and a few thoughts to share.
So bring it on! 😳
