You left God. Why are you questioning me about it? Do you realize that God probably exists, but.....we cannot prove it? Do you feel better as a person to crucify someone else, when you know deep down that something is going on out there????
God is there FMF........it is NOT my problem that we cannot prove it.

Dive has never, never said anything to convince another person that he is a Christian. You have never, ever added anything to a discussion. EVER. The only thing you do FMF is ask questions to posters who actually have something to say.
Both of you are fake. Hence the OP.

I am a non-Christian/former Christian. Indeed, I am not a religionist of any kind. I don't see myself as an atheist because I feel an unclear and inexplicable instinct that there is a God.
I have no specific "beliefs" rooted in this instinctive belief ~ which perhaps can be referred to as deism ~ and there are no superstitions or notions of the supernatural that I know of or act upon in any way, let alone proselytize. Perhaps the "instinct" is hard wired into us - like morality - or only some of us - and/or its a product of factors that have had a bearing on our evolution. I really don't know for sure.
For example, I have no reason to believe there is an afterlife as there is no evidence of it. I am not aware of any revelation that God has made or of there being any 'instructions' for mankind.
I find the religions, such as those propagated here, completely unconvincing, although I attribute their putative attractions and purported functions as an understandable product of the human condition. None of the Christian proselytizers in this community are persuasive - in fact I find most of their mind maps and behaviour completely counter productive.
I do not "hope" that there will be a revelation as that strikes me as a rather spurious use of the human spirit; the same goes for contemplation of forms of immortality that there is no reason to think exists.
I am quite happy and reconciled with the fact that I will pass away in a decade or two from now, indeed I believe that its finite nature is in part what makes life delicious and wonderful.
I might say something different if I was due to die next week, but broadly speaking I am not interested in trying to soften the inevitability of death by subscribing to religion and dwelling on the peddled mumbo jumbo of ecclesiastical technocrats and their followers.
I am not interested in hoping for supernatural things to happen in order deal with real life. Personally I think it is a squandering of the amazing capacities of the human spirit which ~ perhaps ~ no one knows for sure ~ is God given..

What if you are wrong?????
Despite the fact that God hides........what if you are wrong????
It should seem clear to anyone, that God was absent during the Holocaust. However, this does NOT explain all things. God is there......in some way. How, I don't know.
I don't know.
-Removed-No dive. I have never stated that I was a Christian. You should be more concerned with the fact that you claim to be a Christian, but.......do NOTHING to prove it. You are a fake Christian.....as I have stated.
Telling on Robbie is NOT proof of a Christian. Just an immature person.

And one thing that is pretty clear on the SF is that none of the Christians here derive their Christianity from the nature or quality of their banter.
Do you see yourself as a 'mature person' in contrast to the "immature person" you say divegeester is?
Originally posted by FMFAre you interested in re-forming cheney3 into a sort of "son of FMF"? Your example question was an example of ignorance at work.
Unfortunately, you demonstrate little or no sincere willingness to discuss such matters properly and seem more intent on exercising your abusive scatterbrain persona on this message board.
