Priest says Hell is an invention to control peopleAmen!I've always thought that the concept of "do good, you go to Heaven but do bad, you go to Hell" is so simplistic that if you base your philosophy and morality around that, para ka lang bata.
Do you guys think na OA na yung mga namamanata sa Feast of the Black Nazarene?
people are people regardless...
that is why it is called faith...if they had brains would you think they will act that way?
true faith produces wisdom... what they have is blind faith.
Unfortunately, that is required by some religions...
and what is your definition of true faith?
ako bro definition ko nyan my friends hehehe
para sakin yung banda hahaha
yes bro they are my friends!
What would Stephen Fry, an atheist, say if he met God?
dahil ibig sabihin nun ay sarili mo lang iniisip mo. diba christianity is doing good things for others? so ang premise mo ay mali na kaagad dahil simula pa lang ang objective mo ay salbahin ang sarili mo. lahat ng ginagawa mo na kabutihan pagsunod sa utos ng diyos ay para masalba ang sarili mo. magugustuhan ba ng diyos mo yun?
You might be surprised, but I believe that according to the bible, God is omnipotent, but He is not omniscient or omnipresent. This view is controversial, and it will require a very complex analysis.
Care to expound on that atty? I'm just curious, would being not omniscient and omnipresent would negate his being omnipotent? By the definition itself, an omnipotent being can technically be able to know everything and be everywhere.
My beliefs are based on the bible. Therefore, I restrict myself to the discipline of confining the concept of omnipotence as defined in the bible, not as defined in a dictionary or an encyclopedia. I can't discuss it fully on this thread, since this thread is about atheism/agnosticism. But I'll be glad to expound if you will kindly repost your question here: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,141525.1170.html In the meantime, here's a brief overview: 1. God is not omnipresent. He is in heaven; he is not "everywhere." 2. God is not omniscient. He knows what we are thinking, but He does not know beforehand what we are going to think.
