God is God?

God is wrong, it's Allah?
Allah is wrong, it's Buddha?
Buddha is wrong, it's Mohammed.
Mohammed is wrong, it's scientilogy.
Etc. Etc. Why are you right?
If you were serious and I do not think you are, you'd be asking God not us.
If we can talk you into something, someone else can talk you out of it.
I'd ask Jesus, at least there you know He is out to save you not condemn you.

Originally posted by josephwYou belief in Jesus and God and all the rest is religious and your particular system of faith and worship is religion, which is 'the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power'. It's just the inescapable meaning of English words and no amount of sincerity and vehemence about the exceptionalism of your particular system of faith and worship can somehow make it NOT a religion.
Why would God do that?
God has made Himself know through and in His son Jesus.
All that's left is for you to believe it. By the way, it's not a religious belief either. It's the real thing.
Originally posted by FMFYou're on a roll FMF. You nailed it. Only thing you got wrong is that God isn't religious in the way you think about religion.

Try as you might to use words to justify your own particular religious view about religion and how it relates to the reality of faith in the creator, you will never eradicate that faith in The Truth.
It is you that is the most dogmatically religious person posting in these forums. Even more than Dasa.
Originally posted by josephw"Religion" for our purpose here - i.e. discussing whether Christianity is or is not a religion - is a system of faith and worship involving the belief in a superhuman controlling power. So I am not religious. Whereas you are and Dasa is.

My god Suzianne, you are missing the point.
All people believe their god is correct. Why is your god correct?
Why Suzianne? Your childhood?
Why is Buddah not correct?
