God gave humanity the ability to comprehend the wonders of nature

   There is a God who created all things in the visible universe, He gave humanity the ability to understand his creation. His creation can not be equated with him through any school of thought, or by any known knowledge available.
   
   If you have alternative viewpoints, please feel free to do so politely, with respect. Insult and abuse will do us no good...some of use are fun of insulting one another just to win argument, especially when it is not in tandem with our belief or orientation, that's not a mature way of handling things.
   
   The real fun in argument is not by winning one, but by learning something from other people's opinion, whether we accept it or not is a matter of personal understanding.
   
   Science is a systematized knowledge in general, God is not knowledge...He is a being. The creator of every other beings (visible and invisible)....
   
   As a preamble i want to admonish every contributor in this thread to please refrain from any personal attack in any form and manner....This was the main reason for the ending of the previous thread, if you say there is no God, you have a reprobate mind when the ovation was loudest.
   
   This is the precise message by Norah Casey....''This thread is now closed due to a large number of accurate personal attack flags.''
   
   We are all all mature and i belief in the adults world, opinions are bound to be different, you can't take this away from life issues.
   
   Humanity is a creation of God, not of science, or chance.

      Leaving the definition of God aside for the moment, do you believe that you are stating an opinion or an actual, categorical fact?

            "noun, plural truths  [troothz, trooths] Show IPA.
            1. the true  or actual state of a matter: He tried to find out the truth.
            2. conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.
            3. a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: mathematical truths.

            5. actuality or actual existence."
            
            Looks to me that fact=truth and truth=fact. Therefore, you apparently are saying that your opinion is a fact and not an opinion. That kind of removes any possibility for discussion. Oh, well...

         Dave that is very true....If I may add something; the problem is the pollution of the seed line of mankind (God’s children) by the serpent (devil).
         The serpentine bloodline will never have anything to do with God, they will never belief in him; they know of a surety that he is the all and all ...for the fact that blood is thicker than water, they are not from Adam or God's seed they are of the serpent through the bloodline of Cain, don’t loose this insight brother.
         
         After they unsuccessfully tried to kill the gospel for more than 500 years during the dark ages where Christians were suppressed and killed brutally publicly...a new era is indeed what we are witnessing. Non-belief, this has failed.
         
         The truth....what Jesus said......On this Rock (Peter) i will build my Church and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it.

      I'm afraid mainstream Christianity's God has been too soundly refuted to assume any understanding from that angle holds enough of a measure of truth to bother defining. However, the presumption that all things are one still holds water, by my reckoning.
      
      So, 'God' could have made all things and be all things. 'God' as I see it.  But, I would never claim truth or fact. It is simply the conclusion I have come to through observation and reflection. This opinion holds the least number of contradictions so far from every angle I've approached it.

      That's an interesting question. Christians don't agree on much past their common name. They disagree on the essence of God, the true meaning of the sacrifice, who Jesus is, what Jesus was, how one obtains salvation, what constitutes being a Christian,  what is sin and the fate of non believers; to name a few.
      
      Muslims, on the other hand, appear to be in agreement on more points across the board. By your logic, I would think you'd want to convert to Islam. 1.6 billion can't be wrong.

         If I conform to your ideals, i am no longer Felix, period. But we can mutually respect one another if you don’t mind.
         
         This makes it all the more important for us to respect each others opinion or mindset in accordance with the rules of hub-pages forum....trying to use my head is a direct statement on my personality and i will not response with the same to you at all.
         
         If you think i am not using my brain, what makes you think i am not using my brain?
         
         What i belief is not what you belief....and will never ever be the same. I will not response directly in the tone you want. I am more than smart for any mortal to toss around dude.
         
         Another way i can look at your statement and may be that's exactly what you mean is that' you seems to have sympathy for someone who doesn't need any. My belief have been personally tested and proven to be very true and precise. No short cut, no ambiguity and no contradiction whatsoever.....
         
         However i am not alone in this belief for your information, there are as many learned people and even more in theism than there is in Atheism.

         I love and admired your logic so much, one thing I hold against you personally if you don’t mind is why you hate God?
         May be it is mortals like myself and others that are partly responsible, making you to speak the way you do against him, or simply because we are short sighted and myopic in your page. It’s all good.
         If my last statement is wrong, then you can feel free to slam me for all you want, I am not God or God’s spokesman, I am only but his servant, who love him and want others to know that he loves them…before you tell me that my action says otherwise Cag. I am not mean, I am not wicked, I love and help those I can in this wicked world of ours……I wrote this thread specifically because of you brother.

            Sure, you can express yourself as much as you like. And when you sound foolish, people reserve the right to say you sound foolish. As for you certain about your beliefs as per I am in my beliefs? Makes you sound even more foolish, considering I hold very few beliefs if any at all. I don't require them because I know they are nothing more than ego driven based beliefs and I rather not let my ego rule my life, unlike you.
            Actually, if you conformed to my ideals? Is completely foolish in and of itself. Everyone takes a piece of something away from each person because each person is a student and a teacher all rolled into one. You wouldn't no longer be you. You would adapt, incorporate(use and discern) what is being said, instead of your using your ego to tell you you are right.
            I will not respect someone just be they expect respect. That's ego. I deal with irrationality in people's thoughts, actions and speech. Not to mention, if you took the time to read what is written in the context it is written, instead of you always "interpreting" things which are not said, you might be better off.
            Oh, so you're now trying to tell the person who was honored with the Hubbie Award of the Most Likely to Get Banned from the Forums, about the rules of the forums? Not to mention, I'm presently the Forums' reign Hubbie Awarded King of the Forums. I think you should go re-read the forum rules yourself and put them into proper context instead of assuming your egotistical context is what it actually says.
            I asked you to use your brain properly because presently you're making yourself look like a fool. I'm not saying you are one, but what your actions are appearing to others as.
            Because there's no a lick of common sense in most of your statements about your beliefs.
            I'm sure it is not. However, when you open your mouth is where it matters. Yet, you fail to learn this most basic concept.
            That's fine too. I wouldn't you to be the same as me because you are you're own unique person. How you affect people and how you effect society is something you fail to see. Thus, I will continue to point out your ego driven actions, so you can learn to recognize when your ego is getting in the way of your supposed truth.
            Any response shows you've learned nothing, so did doesn't really matter what "tone" you use.
            Really? You've yet to prove that statement true or make it any sort of truth.
            Actually, that's not it at all.
            No. The only thing you did was to attribute something to something else because it made you feel better but fail to realize it was your own actions which created your situation in the first place.
            Yes, I know, that's all many of the learned masses has learned not to disturb the thinking of the masses who believe. So they will not have to the fight the power of the Church or the G/god followers. They can work in peace and you wouldn't know if they were liars or otherwise. So please.
            Yes and that's why I am responding to this post in the manner in which I am. Life is ever changing and that also means that your beliefs should change, yet you solidify them and go against your own life. How odd? You fight human nature and life yet fail to see it.
            I'm not trying to.
            See, this is a bad perception on your part. I cannot hate something which doesn't exist. It's absurd to think I could.
            Short sighted, narrow minded and closed minded are what most religious are to start off with. That's the problem many other people have with you and people like you.
            That depends on what you know, not who you know. It's a shame you don't see how you damage people.
            Yes, I got that. But as a servant of YOUR G/god, you become the spokesperson for said G/god. Whenever you utter anything about it or what it wants, you fail to keep your own personal relationship with it, personal. Again, it's a shame you don't see or understand common sense.
            Really? You consider the world wicked? That's part of the problem. You've no faith where it belongs, in humankind.
            Really? Good to know. Your true character shows and speaks volumes.
            Again, not using the brain as you should. What a shame.

         @pisean  There were at time when in order to explain one's surroundings, the idea of gods and creation stories were told. Biblical stories aren't the only ones around. A Catholic Priest (can't think of his name at the moment) explained that the stories found in the Bible were created thousands of years ago. Modern science has only been around for the last 600 years. Compairing the two is like compairing apples and oranges. But if you attend a Cathoic school now, you'll be taught evolution and the Big Bang. The Vatican stresses not ot take the stories in the Bible literally.

Why, in this day and age, does a person need to follow the guidance of a book written over 1700 years ago? As if people can't figure out that stealing and murder is wrong by themselves.

         I will never be ashamed of talking about God at all. You just have to understand me base on that. I love God so much. I will not be ashamed of identifying with him in this world.
         
         You fail to understand my perception while i understand yours very well. If i am asked who i am, the first response will be, i am a Christian. Some people may be offended by that. Some might take it to mean arrogance and pride while others may see it as something else......Are you a believer or a non-believer?
         Atheist or Theist?
         
         I am sure you know you can not claim a vacuum here brother, because it doesn't exist when faith or religious orientation is the central focus. Every human being believes in something or in nothing, it is all a belief.
         Your ideals in life are just the same like every other person, love, passion and may be so many more....it's the simplest things inherent in human nature. The level of awareness and exposure makes the difference between one person and the other.
         See me base on what i stand for with an open heart and open mind. What we are talking about most of the time are very sensitive issues which have a way of influencing many people positively or negatively.
         
         Are you a Christian turn Atheist or purely an atheist?....Are you neither atheist nor a Christian?
         
         Are you both?
         Do you have faith in God or have faith in humans?
         Does life means more to you other than birth and death?
         Do you live a life filled with hope of what you can achieve in this life or what you can achieve when you die?
         What are those things that matters most to you in this world?
         When you counsel people, I don’t know if you do; but I feel you do. Forgive me if I am wrong with this notion. If you come across someone who happens to have a spiritual problem, what will be your likely response to that fellow?
         Do you belief in spirituality or materiality?......Don’t be offended with these questions Cag.  These are genuine and honest questions from a brother, hope you won’t mind responding accordingly?

            Yeah, I get that.
            I'm sure, your ego won't allow for anything else.
            Actually, you don't understand anything about me or my position, because if you had, then you would try to take the higher moral ground, and yet you've not done so. Why? Because, there's no higher moral ground than exactly as I have laid them out in my articles on HubPages.
            Figures as much.
            Yes, some might.
            Of course.
            Neither. I hold no such belief and find there's no need for such belief.
            Faith or religious orientation is part and parcel of the problem with people like you. You lack understanding of your own life. That's the real shame you walk around with, but never noticing it.
            BS.
            I'm sure you have no complete understanding of my ideals. You cannot. Why not? You've yet to learn to see past your ego.
            Yes, I know. You didn't need to tell me and it's a shame yet again you have a low awareness level.
            Are you having fun lying to yourself? Open mind? When your actions speak to the opposite being true- closed mind.
            And people like yourself seriously need a wake up call, so you can join the 22nd century, much less join the 21st century.
            I was born and raised Catholic, made communion and confirmation, over and done by age 17. At the age of 22 I dropped the belief because it no longer was needed.
            I'm not sure what this question is about.
            What G/god? and Yes I do have faith in Humanity.
            My life is about me. Life is valued. Birth is beginning. Death is end. To put any more thought into is irrational.
            My life always has hope. I don't hope for things to happen such as achievements in my life. I take the effort to achieve the goals I set. As for achieving anything "after" or "at" death, is irrelevant. I don't give it any more thought than that of the above statement.
            What difference does it matter considering it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
            Counsel people? If you're asking if people come to me and talk, then yes I do.
            You're not wrong in the notion.
            A "spiritual" problem? How I handle it is none of your business and secondly, what in the world would make you ask me what I would say to them. That would be a conversation done in private communications between them and myself.
            No need to believe in either. Both are ego based.
            You know, this is a perfect example of you never reading posts thoroughly. I don't get offended and YOU cannot offend me.

               The reality about life is that we are all in a journey and these lives we are all living will soon leave us behind.

                     I called this thread religious arrogance simply because it states right at the start that God exists as a matter of fact, not as a matter of faith. To anyone that does not believe there is a God this insistence that there is a God without any actual proof isn't an invitation to a discussion, but an invitation to a fight.
                     I also see/read a lot of those who most loudly shout about how God exists totally dismiss how people live their lives and focus solely on what people believe, which I find very dangerous.
                     
                     Through out this thread I have gotten the message from you that you believe that a persons beliefs are far more important then their actions. That actions are matters of the flesh and God is not concerned with those, only with what you believe in (that being a matter of the spirit). This sort of logic supports the idea that a pedo priest is in better standing with this God you claim exists the a non-pedo atheist, and thats just messed up.
                     
                     Ultimately, a belief in God does not make a person a good person, if it did then the churches of the world would not be full of the greedy, deceitful, lazy, and corrupt, now and through out history. Look at the wealth of the churches of this world and you see the corruption of the churches of this world. This happens because religion allows us to discount our actions as unimportant in favour of unverifiable claimed beliefs. Many a con man has claimed to believe in God for personal and physical gains.
                     
                     So to summarise,
                     Claim the existence of God as a matter of fact not faith (strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof-from the dictionary), and that is arrogant as you cannot prove your claim to me.
                     Choose to dismiss the request that you prove you have the authority to make the claims you are making and instead insult them with the most polite words you have, its still arrogant.
                     Thing is, you cannot go around making claims you cannot prove you have the authority to make and then be surprised when people don't agree with your claims and question the very way you go about making those claims. How you ask something is just as important as what you ask.
