co·in·ci·denceI had a lawyer ask me once how I knew God had provided my very first contracting job with the state. I told him all of the details of how saw the contract listed in the newspaper in the legal section, how I knew in my heart that God made that job just for me, and how I won that contract even though I wasn't the low bid. Took a bit to describe it all to him but after I did he said, "I do believe that God mad that job just for you as that was a miracle". Now here the odd part. The guy agree to be my attorney and then dumped me and left me in a bigger mess than I was before he had came along to say he would help the young attorney that was attempting to defend me from a bunch of fraudulent, counterfeiting bankers. It was about ten years later I was up watching over my son's house for a week while he traveled. I went to the store to pick up and few things and there was a guy there handing out newspapers trying to get people to subscribe. I told him that was okay because I had no intentions of subscribing and I did not want to take away from him maybe getting a paper to someone he could actually sell it too. He insisted I take the newspaper so I did. Back at son's house I set the paper on the counter as I empty the bags and notice a front page headline. That lawyer was being charged with something he did to someone else. That is just one of many reasons I have no doubt that there is a Omni present spirit that rules over all things.We are the world's most flexible overall belief system, since when evidence, to a court-room level, is found that a particular unique god is real, then we'll gladly update our beliefs.So actually you don't really have faith that God is in control or knows your thoughts and needs. O' well.In the long run, a scientific belief system will eventually outshine a non-scientific one. We can't bring forward, say, Mohammad riding on a winged horse, and then also demand that our children do well in SCIENCE class! (for obvious reasons!)You are at best lemmings...at worst knowing co-conspirators. I tend to side with the latter.For one, we bring forward good stuff like "love your neighbor", etc., but can't bring forward Genesis or Adam/Eve because the geneologies add up to about a 6000 year-old earth. We can't bring forward unscientific teachings, such as "angels" or "jinns", or a magic guy who lives in the sky for 2000 years (but we do indeed bring forward the good parts, the parts that PHILOSOPHER Jesus said, just not the magic/unscientific Jesus stuff like "heaven/hell" of the Bible, as such.)
So we are the world's most intellectually-consistent overall belief system (at least we strive to be, and will change to achieve that) - and that's a great thing. We of course couldn't bring forward Revelation where it says that people are NOT ALLOWED TO IMPROVE the texts of the Bible - your children are too creative, they will indeed come up with improvements on all belief systems, we know that. So we are likely the world's most "improving" belief system.
Have a great week.![]()
We believe that we deserve a particular god that cares about us enough, enough to provide a court-room level of evidence that he's actually real - which would show that the other gods are just pretenders and/or just invented by con-men. As it stands now there are 5000+ gods, and none of them can differentiate themselves - so of course they don't care about us or are not actually all-powerful as claimed. But we do hold out hope that someday one will care about us enough to live up to a court-room level of evidence. We deserve that.
