What would do it for you? Why do you believe in Jesus but not Santa Claus?
-
Just thought this was cool. It might have been posted before: Moses said the law is everything. Jesus said love is everything. Marx said capital is everything. Freud said sex is everything. Einstein said everything is relative.

Everybody dies. Does God hate everybody?

I'd have to examine specifics in context. Much of that has been done here before.

You’re right. I should have said faith without evidence is “blind faith.” You’re right in that evidence does not necessarily equal proof. I’m not trying to say that there isn’t an element of faith. There is. I’m just trying to say that there is plenty of evidence to consider. No one needs to accept or reject Christianity blindly. I just happen to think that the evidence out there is compelling enough to believe. Others do not and that’s ok with me. I guess in law terms I’d say that the preponderance of the evidence is in its favor but that it cannot be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt.
-
Why?
-
Just the eye-witness testimony of those who were there. Depends on what you consider proof.

Ask 100 Fundie Zealot Asshats that same question, get 100 different answers... Nice contribution. Just start calling those you don't agree with names. I used to get put in the corner in grammar school for doing that.

I think you’re talking about a photon being able to exist in two places at once (e.g. quantum physics). I don’t think that means that the photon “is” two things at once, though. Right? Anyway, you guys are describing properties of a particular thing and saying that effectively makes it two things (e.g. 2 answers to the question). I’m saying that it’s got properties that we can’t necessarily reconcile but that still doesn’t change what it is (e.g. one answer to the question), IMO. That’s cool. My head hurts. By the way, I think you kind of described the Trinity in your reply above …in a scientific sort of way.
-
Ok. I’ll buy that. It definitely has properties of both. But that doesn’t mean that there are two answers to the question. You can’t say “light is a particle” without also saying “Light is a wave” correct? You have to say light shows properties of both a particle and a wave. One answer not two. Not trying to argue with a physicist (well…yes I am ) and I fully admit I can be wrong. Sorry...got you mixed up with Kallend (the physicist) there for a second.
-
Who judges that? You or God? Wendy W. God ultimately. The only standard I have to go by is the Bible.
-
The Jehovah's Witness religion is not Christian even though they claim to be.
-
No. Belief without proof would be more like "blind faith." That's not the case with Christianity. There's plenty of evidence. Just not what all will accept.
-
Why? If you ask a meaningless question, there really is no answer, and asking whether light is "really" a particle or a wave is a meaningless question. It is an attempt to dress up an unknown with something you think you understand. (not you specifically ) I agree that there are meaningless questions and that's exactly what they are....meaningless. But it doesn't seem logical to me that determining whether light is a wave or particle is one of them. There will certainly be advances made with our better understanding of what light is exactly and how it acts.
-
I could be wrong but I don't think he's given us the capacity to understand everything yet. I think there's a trust element and that's what he's looking for.
-
Maybe it's our definitions of waves and particles that are the problem -- maybe those definitions don't really reflect what the world is, but instead just what we understand of our world. Just like our definition of God. Wendy W. I agree. Maybe so. But there's still got to be an answer. We just don't know it yet. Or maybe we don't have the capacity to know it. That doesn't mean that it does not exist.
-
That answer is great!!! I love it!
-
How do you figure that there's no evidence that Jesus existed?
-
Neither.
-
More than one answer? Is light a wave or a particle? I'm no physicist so correct me if I'm wrong. Light shows properties of each. We can't say for sure whether it is a wave or a particle. Just because we don't know doesn't mean that it's both. There's got to be an answer to the problem. We just don't know it yet. Maybe someday we will.
-
I believe there has to be a heart-felt acceptance between you & God alone and not just a casual one with minimal sincerity.
-
More than one answer? And that is your well stated opinion.
-
I don't know. That would require one to peer into the mind of God. Like I said, I don't buy into it entirely b/c it's too simple. That's just me. But, hey, if it works for someone else...great!
-
The rules of war should be followed. That would be against the rules of war. We're better than that and must hold to our principals. Holy sites are off limits unless the enemy decides to use them for protection, fighting positions, of storage of munitions, etc.

There's only one answer to a problem. There's usually different ways to reach the answer the result is the same. However, in the case of Christianity, the framework has been laid out for you. The information has been presented to you and the scope has been narrowed to only one equation. You've got to choose how you want to work the problem.
