I am not offended. When I see the name "Blues Man" I would like my first thought to be, "A person of integrity." Instead, my first thought is "The guy who delights in exhibiting disrespect." I am not offended by your smallness, I feel sorry for it. Shrug. Somehow this show of disrespect is something you need.Maybe you're just too easily offended.
Did/does it matter to you?People that have been in my personal life in the past have done horrible things to me.
And it matters not to the universe or to anyone else
Not for most. For most it is a eagerness to learn about the unknown. Fear is no more a component of religion than it is to science or any other part of knowledge.Religions are made by men and fear was an integral component in the inception of all religions.
The universe has no power to love. Individuals have the ability to love. What is an uncaring universe next to love?
Do you care, not only about your relationship, but to support the relationships of others? Do you care enough to quietly and without notice perform small acts of kindness?
Love and caring are an appreciable part of what goes on in the universe. I submit it is love that is the greater picture, and that each one of us can contribute to that picture.

That's my point. Which is the more dynamic--indifference or love?I submit that the universe is utterly indifferent to the people on this planet and their feelings. And any people on any other planets for that matter.
So love isn't that important to you or rated very highly?I have had a few people I love but not many and I don't have the need to seek out more people to love or to love me.
Why not?Not anymore
When we discarded the idea that we cannot turn lead into gold (and hundreds of other experiments), we discarded that line of thought in science without discarding science. The same is true of religion. We discard what is untrue and follow truth.When we started understanding the unknown we discarded hundreds of gods because we no longer feared those things we attributed to gods
Religion evolved right along with people and societies
If you wake up in the morning and see this wonderful world that God has blessed us all with, you cannot deny the existence of a supreme being.I was just having this conversation with my fiancee. A long time ago I couldn't make up my mind on what I actually believed since there are so many beliefs out there, but that's the problem. I was thinking with my mind instead of my heart and the mind can deceive you and has caused me to doubt in the past, but my heart has never faltered.
Oh, yes it is. One time, probably on another forum, I was in a discussion with someone who truly believed in Roman Gods. Out of respect for his position, I had no issue with capitalizing Roman Gods even though I did not hold to his beliefs. Hindu Gods are always capitalized. So is Church when I discuss LDS beliefs.You see disrespect when none is present.
We have not been able to make a living cell from primordial ingredients. Even if we could make just one ribosome, a eukaryotic cell (typical cell) may contain 10 million ribosomes and we cannot even create one, much less the all the other things needed to make a living cell. Therefore, I believe that natural selection could NEVER make a living cell from elements available. That leaves some kind of intentional manipulation which would be a close interpretation of God. Bottom line, the building blocks of living cells could never come together by accident and make them functional and alive.If you wake up in the morning and see this wonderful world that God has blessed us all with, you cannot deny the existence of a supreme being.
What exactly does acceptance of Jesus mean in practical terms? Because Matthew 7:21-23 seems to be saying your simplistic interpretation of Christianity is wrong. In fact, doesn't Jesus explicitly state that entrance into the kingdom of heaven can only be achieved by doing the will of his father in heaven?
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’
Nothing could be farther than the truth. God hated Jezebel so much He wouldn't let her be buried in His earth. He literally turned her into dog shit. God was nowhere near her heart.No, God lives in the hearts of all. Regardless of what any of them believe
Yes they are monotheistic but that does not mean they all worship the same god
God hated ...
Exactly the opposite. People use the word love too much and its meaning gets deluded.So love isn't that important to you or rated very highly?
Why not?
