You sound like every other religious nut, with his own religious point of view.   

And if you don't support the war, than THIS will be turned against you.   

This is WAY true. My sister is a conscientious, fastidious nurse. She tells me that many of the other nurses don't seem to care much. Just there for the job. Often over $50 an hour.

My neighbors and I are parking tanks in our garages and loading up on cannon shells - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1462244.0.

The police state has only just begun - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1462244.0.

In case you haven noticed, law enforcement is filled with evil-minded people. Wanna see that this is true? Google "police brutality."

Let us all be armed, because even good LE sticks with its own kind rather than defending unarmed, innocent people.

If you and I sit across from each other at a table in a coffee shop, we know the fact of each others existence. If I tell you that I will buy you a cup of coffee as soon as the waitress gets over to take our order, you might have faith that I will do it. But maybe you know me better, and have faith that I won't.

The existence of God and nature are facts. The promises of God and nature may or may not be taken on faith. Both religion and science express both fact and things that must be taken on faith. Or do you know everything that all the scientists profess?

People are people. The trick is telling which people are good and which are not. Those who want to take self-protection away from others are generally more openly bad. Why? Because they are preparing a group of unarmed people who they can enslave.

Since you are not in the productive mode, perhaps you should debate a wall.

If you wanted to be productive, you would not be an atheist, or at least would not promote it.

Twelve and under know God is a fact, even though they might parrot atheists.

Regarding the question about if we existed before we existed...

The Bible talks about God knowing us before we existed. But, it talks about it more or less like God was making plans. There is nowhere in the Bible that says that we existed before we existed. But there is nowhere that explicitly says we did not. And there are hints that we might have, in some strange way.

God is powerful and full of understanding and knowledge way beyond anything we can conceive of. The fact of cause and effect in all the universe through all time that we are aware of, shows us that God firmly had the plan in mind for our existence. In the greatness that is the mind of God, we might essentially have existed even though we did not in any way that we understand it.

This is a question that is essentially beyond our capability of finding the answer for.

Regarding nothingness, there are several passages in the New Testament that say that nothing is impossible with God. These passages generally are understood to mean that God can do anything. My point is, in the presence of God, perhaps nothingness is something that does not exist. Again, we are talking about something that is beyond our understanding, and perhaps beyond the dimensions of this universe regarding understandability.

"Me Moloch. Me want this and this and this."

 

People should be respected because they are people. Their opinions and suggestions should not necessarily be respected. If a person aligns himself with an opinion in an extremely strong way, he might start to become his opinion.

Regarding the actions of people of all the different religions, there are good and there are bad. All people act good at times, and all people act bad at times.

Thank God that science and logic are proving things that I might not be able to prove.

The major reason atheists hate religion is, their atheism religion is self-destructing, and atheists are left with nothing.

You have a friend over. You give your friend a bag of dog food to feed the dog for you, while you prepare dinner for the two of you. Your friend accepts the dog food and the instruction to feed the dog, and goes about giving the dog his food. You have a trust going.

You are the creator of the trust to feed the dog. Your friend is the trustee who accepts the dog food and the instruction to feed the dog. The dog is the beneficiary.

Get a knowledgeable friend or attorney to prepare trust paperwork for you. You can study about trusts and contracts and do it yourself.
1. Have a friend actually create the trust by giving you a silver dollar to hold in trust for your kids.
2. You are the trustee.
3. Make the trust so that it can accept donations, and donate the wallet (and other property, including the house - better to make separate trusts for each major item) to the trust.
4. Include instructions about how you would like the wallet and keys and bitcoins divided among the children.
5. Set the information up in private in such a way that only the trustee has access to the keys.
6. Make one of the kids to be the successor trustee... to take over the trust in the event that something happens to you. Do this formally, with acceptance paperwork by the kid. This could include any major reason that you could no longer function as trustee... not only death. If the kids are too young, perhaps a trusted friend, or even the wife or husband.
7. Make sure that all the kids have a copy of the trust so that they can hold the successor trustee responsible in court if the successor doesn't follow the instructions in the trust.

Make any reasonable instructions, right in the trust, about how you would want things to be handled in the event of your removal as trustee.

Trust creator = friend or attorney, or even spouse, who gives you the original silver dollar.
Trustee = you.
Beneficiaries = the kids or anyone, even a company or church or anyone else.
Successor trustee = one of the kids, who is also beneficiary, so that the property in trust can be dispersed to all.

The point of a trust? It can be set up in ways so that the property can go right on being held in trust after you are out of the picture. Thus, there is no transfer of any property... only change of trustee. The government and courts can stay entirely out of the picture as long as the kids are honorable and trustworthy among themselves.

No probate, or even knowledge that the property changed hands, because it didn't, necessarily.

Notarize all documents.

Okay. So you don't understand that science and nature have proven that God exists, and you are unwilling to look at the evidence for this fact.

Perhaps you absolutely COULD look at the evidence and understand for yourself that God exists. This is one good work you are not doing.

The most important good work that you can't do by not believing is, you can't set yourself into position whereby you will obtain eternal life. This is the best good work that anyone can do. And why should I explain why? Waste my time.


Hey, man. It is acceptable that you don't accept eternal life. And since you have set yourself into your way of not allowing yourself to be shown the "stuff" regarding salvation, I guess it won't be until the resurrection and the judgment that you will find out.

However, I commend you for taking the time to be mirthful. If you don't change and understand that God exists, and then believe what He tells you in religion, you need to get all the joy you can while you live here, because that will be it for you and joy.


Perhaps you are blind. But if you are not, look up at the sky at night and see part of the heavens of this universe. The Heaven of Heavens is much more glorious than this.


Come and see the proof that God exists. Combine cause and effect with complexity with entropy and see that the way these work in our universe prove that God exists.

In addition, all our machinery comes from the big machine that is the universe... which machine is way beyond anything that we presently understand, and certainly beyond what we can make. Our machines are made by some person or groups of people. But machine universe is made by God.



If believing in God was a form of blind faith, perhaps theists would be some of the most pathetic people around. But since God is proven in many ways in heart and soul, in addition to the ones I mentioned above, faith turns out to be believing in what God has told us rather than in His existence. Thus, faith is not blind faith.

Wake up while you still have time.
