Why is God a"He"?
I missed out on the sorrow for the most part. I guess the sorrow is for his followers!

0The simplest answer in the world.
Because.
Kiwi, You made a good point. I was an adult when I accepted Christ freely, and have not regretted one day of it.
Indoctrination is not about one particular religion, it is the acceptance of doctrine, any doctrine, without question. Just because someone changes their religion when they become adults does not mean they weren't indoctrinated, they just accepted another set of doctrines. They still have not developed the capacity for rational thought.
But, I don't just accept others written information, that's the big difference between you and me.
Perhaps, but to a greater degree, you have been indoctrinated into believing myths and superstitions, which you embrace and hold as the most important thing in your life.
Again, a huge difference between you and me.
Of course, you're free to offer any examples of the indoctrination of which you refer.How then since you could talk ,read and write did you form ,accept ,reject information? and what influenced you to believe one theory over another for example?
No, you are no different than me in that you searched ,analysed, then either accepted or rejected information.
And I know you did these things ,because we are both human.
That is the difference between humans and animals.
Thought processesIt's called 'research'
I don't believe one theory over another, I understand theories.
That is complete nonsense. Even your above statement about "believing" one theory over another shows the lack of the concept of understanding.
Your processes are entirely faith driven and have little if no thought at all driving them. And, it is most certainly not the difference between humans and animals.Research lol ,its exactly what I said. Beezle you are splitting hairs.
No I am not faith driven when I process information.
I am a thinking ,intelligent female
By the way,
When was the last time a pack of dogs called a meeeting? or read a newspaper then researched its contents? or did you ever hear of a pod of whales discovering new invention?Not at all, you don't research, you accept doctrines. There is a huge difference that I don't expect you to understand.
I'm quite sure you believe that, too.
When was the last time a pack of dogs prayed or baptized one another? Or evangelized a religion? Or did you ever hear of a pod of whales crucifying another whale?
See how silly your examples are?
I really don't see the point in this discussion. It's obvious you don't know the difference between teaching and indoctrination, because if you did, you would understand you've been indoctrinated and would do what every other believer does when they understand that, which is to start thinking for themselves and break their indoctrination.
This how it is:
If I believe something itscalled 'Indoctrination'
If you believe something its called 'Teaching'
Oh sounds fair (not)
BD
I don't believe one theory over another, I understand theories.
Me
And once understood ,you process the info , it is accepted or disgarded.
Its ok ,we all do itSorry, but in the case of believers, it is not what they understand, it is what they believe that is accepted or discarded.
And no, we don't all do it.In order to believe anything -one must first understand it!
Now I understand why you dont accept Christ,you clearly dont believe..
Youre in my prayers!Not at all. After UNDERSTANDING that some things are fraudulent, are you saying that I should still believe them?
You should replace the word understanding with "ACCEPT"
Because the story reeks of fake nonsense, and is an insult to Beelzedad's intelligence.
This is just your indoctrination spewing more wicked willful ignorance.
Nonsense, you believe in a great deal of myths and superstitions, yet I've not seen much in the way of understanding.
Is that the same reason you don't accept Allah, or Thor or Zeus?
Why not pray to your god to feed the starving children instead.
Oh wait, the answer will be "NO!"
Never mind.
Thanks for the compliment re my chosen name ,just seemed to be me a Kiwi(Bird) in the USA (Eagle)
I understand that the topic of Religion /Christianity attracts a diverse group of people from the mildly curious to the academic intellectual and we are all either experts or debaters offering our opinions /facts etc.
My faith however is a simple one and the foundation for all that I believe spiritually. Many things from the Bible dont make sense ,but its the things that do make sense that make ALL the difference to my life.
So my friend ,as far as Im concerned,I never see the sense in argueing who and which God is the true one. I take the attitude Jesus had ,when the disciples pointed out to him a group of people who were practicing religion ,but who were not known to them.
Jesus said If they be not against me ,then they are for me.
Basicaly for me If Jesus said it ,I believe it!
There was a time a knew a little about a lot of other religions ,but lately I am content to read ,pray and practice what I do know ( I getting old now) but its not because I choose to be ignorant ,its a matter of priority.
In the past I have often embraced and interacted with other 'Religions' but many non-believers think ALL Christians should all think and behave the same way....thats just silly and illogical...
Do all Atheists agree on everything -No
Seriously the fruit of the Spirit has gifted me with so much and judging by comments from new friends ,these are all good characteristics, that help not hinder anyone.
To Your Best Life ~
