As I said... we DO have a say in whom our friends are. No friend of mine *should* roast people in Hell.
Phat writes: the Book explains how we *should* relate to God and Jesus...
The Book also explains what we *must* do to be saved - but you don't mind throwing that part away.
Phat writes: After all, what standard is higher?
The reality standard is highest. We are real. God is questionable at best.

Re: Parameters By Definition
Phat]As if humanity has not caused all wars and economic crashes!
Everything good that has happened to humanity was also caused by humanity. Humanity has cured diseases that God created. Stop hating humanity so much.

Re: Soul Man
It only takes a sentence to take down a troll.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

That would take self-reflection. I don't think he is actually capable of that.

The Man In The Mirror
I am as capable of it as anyone here. I took your advice Percy. Thank you. Thank you both. Its not easy to change for the better. Apparently, it is far easier to get worse. And how does one simply change the emotional reactions that they find bottled up within them? Edited by Phat, .
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.”
H. Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
(1894).

If they are due to your diabetic blood sugar issues then there is likely nothing you can do, at least nothing that a layperson could suggest. If you visit any of the many diabetic websites they all say that blood sugar issues can cause mood swings resulting in brain fog, irritability, impulsivity, aggression, and irrationality, among a host of other mental symptoms. Talk to your doctor. --Percy

Let me guess ... you eventually label every theist on this site a "troll"? What are the evolutionary ancestors of a troll? Edited by Dredge, .

Do you in fact have any friends? If so, what are their names? I have a friend ... his name is Walter.

If you act like a troll you probably are a troll.
No just the trolls. If you stop acting like a troll, I will stop calling you a troll. But we both know that will never happen. Your final question just solidifies even more that all you are doing is trolling.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.
