If God exists..

[F L E S H]

Has to do with personal responsibility. If GOD made you as such that you could only do certain things and NOT sin <there's that word again> then it's really not faith, and god made you like a puppet. FREE WILL is what underlies responsibility, not some deterministic element of GOD-control (for lack of a better thought) that makes you do certain things. If you are not a self-determined being then all things are permissable because technically nothing is your fault. Whatever. Thought I'd write this cause I'm bored. Love you.

Though I agree with you, Christians will argue that indeed God gave us Free Will. And he also gave us a mechanism to ease our conscience if we fuck, i.e. confession. My problem with that is, why should I have to tell a priest my sins in order to get forgiveness from God? If I repent on my own, shouldn't that be enough for Mr. Omniscient?

I made the only decision that I really had to make - I left.
I didn't really have a choice after all, except in the way that I chose to leave.
Being stoned also enabled me to keep calm and resonable during this time of great upset.

First, sorry to hear about your wife...
Second, this is interesting. Did you really have a choice? I think so, just because you were able to consider other alternatives. I think just having the capacity to imagine other solutions is an essential of choice, or Free Will. After much thought, you made up your mind and were resolute--in hindsight you felt like you had no choice. But am I mistaken to assume that you did not immediately come to that conclusion? The choice was there, but you chose one and ran with it, for better or for worse.

Surely he knows that after thousands of years without proof, some of us are going to start doubting His existence. So if he proved it back then, why won't he prove it now? I mean, all he needs to do is give us one sign - one unquestionable, irrifutable piece of evidence - and all of us 'non-believers' will believe. People say that He doesn't prove himself because we Rating: 5
