    Jim,

    you are quite the patient man. I admire your ability to remain reasonable in what would become "childish" conversation.

    If I am not one of your fans yet, I am now.

    sooner than later.

    Yes he does owe you an apology. This matter came up before and he did not listen then either.
    Very selective reading.

      Yeah well, he speaks for god so I guess god does not apologize when he gets it wrong. wink

      He has prompted me to write a book though. A hard book rather than an ebook.

      He is a perfect example of why a belief in an invisible super being rots your brain and destroys your ability to think for yourself. He just is not capable of hearing what I am saying. He does not care if he falsely accused me or damaged me in some way. This is secondary to the Word. sad  And they are proud that all that matters is the Word. I do not count. How I feel does not count. All that matter is spreading the hatred.

      Just imagine how advanced we could be - morally and ethically - if we had gotten rid of this notion that the reward is in the afterlife and we need to shout "Jesus is Lord!" until the heathens believe what we believe.

      Look at the spider woman - dumping the same thing over and over - all wrong - to try and prove that millions of scientists and millions of pieces of evidence are all a lie to stop her from beleebing in Jeebus. sad

      Sad - that is what it is. I admire your tenacity in the face of so many of them telling ypu you are worthless and there is something wrong with you for not believing what they believe.

      I am out of here until the religionist Low apologizes for making false accusations.

      Bet he cannot - what do you think?

        You've been "out of here..." many times before. Will you keep your word this time? lol
        If Jim does NOT apologize, and you come back, that makes YOU a liar,NO? I mean, that's how you define lying! hmm

          LOL

          Jim Low publicly accused me of doing something I did not do. Here on this forum. I guess in true drama queen christian matrydom I should  have started a new thread away from the ridiculous beliefs forum. But I prefer to be honest and up front instead. I know I know - that is not the way people who believe in Jesus like to behave. Thank you for reminding me why your religion disgusts me and many others.

          Me a liar? LOLOLOLO

          No wonder you are despised -

          You just cannot see that being a judgmental hypocrite is guaranteed to get people to despise you can you dj?

          lol

          Oh well - as long as you get to be judgmental - that is what is really important huh? lol lol

          But keep on calling me a liar so that I will prove what a liar I am by responding to you.

          Then you are "right"

          Like what it says in the bible about publicly judging others until they hate you.

          That is what it says right?

          That is what Jeebus taught you to do? lol

          Now I am definitely out of here.

          Call me a liar again and I will start a new thread just for you.

        low jim may find apology too much for his massive ego. Like many other religionists he carries the only truth around with him and speaks without hearing others as they are not in agreement with his version of his god. Bloody hilarious! lol. smile

    Jewelsposted 14 years ago

    From what I am reading here, it is certainly NOT the religionists who have the best argument about God's existence.  Considering the thread is about arguing, I suppose both sides have won.  Then again, if the religionists have to argue about it, perhaps they haven't won anything, and lost much.

    Whilst Mark Knowles needs no defense, he is big enough to defend himself, Jim Low is really out of line and ignorant not knowing that Mark Knowles doesn't need to lie.  He has never wavered from his stand for one and is way too mature to stalk any hubs incognito.  He would do it to your face, that's the kind of man he is.

    Jim, if you are the kind of man you portray yourself to be (a God knower and lover), you perhaps would do well to lead by example, or be lead by the teachings of Jesus.  Just a thought.

    Mind you, if you really are just here to argue, go right ahead, you're doing a good job of it.  Perhaps leave God out of it altogether, it's a bit off center regardless of what side you're on.

    Mark,

    Now that I know what "specifically" you are talking about as far as my falsely accussing you, I will offer you an apology for that. While I didn't say specifically that it was you I did imply that I thought it was you who posted the comments I referred-to in the earlier post.

    I do admit that I actually now don't believe it was you who posted the comments I referred to earlier. They were posted by a member "Hell-No" and the vile name-calling ones I had to disapprove were posted by an unregistered user named "Dan". I believe now that Dan and Hell-No were the same person. Some of the comments are still at the Hubs.

    For those attack comments that I now know you would have offered directly toward me, rather than through another member name or unregistered name, I do apologise. <(no sarcasm, it's a sincere one.)

    Now let's all move on.

    Fair play, Jim - my reaction was nothing to do with religion. You are man enough to offer an apology - for me, the matter is closed. Obviously, I don't speak for Mark!

    Dan/Hell-No enjoys a certain notoriety on Hubpages smile

    Hey don't laugh ......

    God existence is true ......

    I believe that as in mathematics quantity such as iota (i) solves many complex problems of mathematics ...... but it is an imaginary quantity, no proof for it's existence and without it many of the problems would be at halt .....

    Same is with the God ..... problems around the world are been solved by him ..... but he is in our imagination ......
    no proof for it's existence, but without it many of our problems would not be solved .......

        To be honest Im convinced it would be quite the opposite.

      Existence exists. To think that it was created by a "god" or a "creator" is foolishness. Such foolishness could only be created by man.

      If you're looking for an answer how LIFE came to be, including nature...the MOON orbiting the Earth is the only reason the Earth can support life-forms at all.

    The argument against there being a god is flawed because if you have one strange event, something unexplainable then the pure system of evolution or chemicals in the brain does not explain all events in time and space.  There are too many proven events that have no explanation. These type of "mystical" events point to a different reality.  Physics begins to sound strange when you try to include all events in space and time.  All you end up with is theories. Is light a wave or particle?  How can it change when it wants to- seemingly random?   So my arguement for something- beyond evoltion or what we have in place, begins here. 

    The narrowness of the point-of-view promotes the outcome.  Quatum physics shows that the observer and the observed are interconnected.  As soon as the western mind understands that their is no objective reality separate from human perception then many things will become clear.  Their is more going on in this universe than our 10% brain activity is understanding.  The brain activity is provable.  The universe has not yet been completely explored. 
    Our western world view is flawed because we cannot include all experiences in our framework.  Quatum physics is on fast forward and the western-Newtonian machine clockwork world view is obselete.  Holographic experiments are already happening.  The Eastern world-view is not so problematic because most of all experiences fit into their framework.  I think it is funny that we use our technology, we are playing around with many new technologies but people think our consciousness is not moving at a higher rate.

    Is it God or Consciousness?  Are we vibrating balls of energy?  How fast can I vibrate?  Does the Dali Lama increase his awareness with his methods of mediation?  Is this what we are talking about when we try to understand God?  There is a lot more going on that meets the eye. Dreams, Promonitions, mystical experiences, medicine men, - all these things do not fit into the evolutionary-scientific point-of-view.  You can explain it away like the Bible-obssessed believers- its the devil, it is chemicals- but they are all weak arguments because there are too many documented experiences everywhere, everytime, in all cultures.  This is the problem with both sides.

    In answer to your question no agument is good enough, IT'S NAME IS DIUS, AND IN THE BIBLE IT CLEARING SAYS THAT THE COMFORTER SEND BY JESUS CHRIST ITSELF AND AS IT IS SAID IN THE REVELATION THAT THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS HIS NAME IS THE ONE THAT HAS IT ON HIM,SO WE GO TO THE HEBREWS, AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT GOD COULD NOT LIE BY THESE TWO IMMUTABLE PROOFS, ONE BEING JESUS CHRIST AND THE OTHER THE COMFORTHER THAT HE SENT, AND TWO  MORE IMMUTABLE PROOFS ARE FOUND IN THE NAME YAWEH,IF ANY ONE HAS WISDOM, CHECK TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT WHAT THIS NAME IS
