Also, I just about NEVER say what I said about not knowing how to interpret something, so your claim I say such things "time and time again" is a lie.
(Wow, I had to read that sentence three times. Brain freeze was imminent.)
Religion and the Bible sure are a delicate and fragile weave. I simply can't imagine the herculean efforts in emotional and intellectual acrobatics to keep the cognitive dissonance from unraveling its thread-bare tapestry.
I suppose if there was a profoundly retarded invisible god riding around in clouds he would be mighty impressed by such unwavering "faith."
Umm, . . . kudos Faith. Kudos.

Now figure THIS out.
Umm, . . . not too difficult.
I have a brother and sister-in-law just like you. I marvel at the massive amount of emotional and intellectual time and effort they also devote to supporting their faith.
(Sheesh, I barely have the time in my day to empty the dryer lint trap.)

No appreciation for those who work hard, hoping to keep a few, including yourself, from eternal suffering.
Oh, . . . that's very nice of you Faith. You would endeavor to help me and you don't even know me. Wow, a sincere thanks.
But, you know Faith, there are so many people in the world, who have it so much worse than me, . . . I think I'd rather you devote your seemingly unlimited amount of time and effort to help them, not me.
For example, I think it would REALLY please your god if you started missing church and prayer and concentrated on helping:
1. 16,000 children die every year from hunger. That's one child every five seconds. It got to be a pitiful, agonizing, and pathetic way to die. Perhaps you can help your god in this area. He seems unable to help.
2. Malaria kills about 500,000 children every year. I don't know why a loving god would create malaria or other such diseases.
3. Approximately 1 in 700 children born have a cleft lip or a cleft deformity. I don't know why such a perfect god could create such a slipshod product. Anyways, I'd much prefer you and your god help those with birth defects instead of me. (Hmmm, seems to be a big and growing caseload of birth defects in Fallujah for some reason, . . . strange I thought our recent presidents were doing the lord's work there, not sure how that came out backwards.)
Sooo, again, thanks for all the sparing me from eternal suffering and stuff, but, please only consider me after you and your god had addressed these other bigger problems.
Cheers.

I can see now how short a distance it is from denying reality to support one's beliefs,
Hey Mr. Coyote,
Do you think you might be guilty of the same mind-set regarding politics?
Is it possible to be self-aware about ALL subjects, or are we each, at least, a little delusional in some aspect?
I don't know. But that answer may be the support in my personal belief talking.
Edited by dronester, : "is"! Bad typo-day.

Re: side issue
Faith writes:
It's off topic
Indeed, it is. You really should disregard my off-topic chatter. My apologies to all. But I do want to say how grateful I am to your impenetrable indefatigability. It has resulted in supremely patient and knowledgeable people posting hundreds of facts that allowed me a free education on geology. Thank you!
Faith writes:
1) Why would you assume that Christians AREN'T helping such sufferers on the planet?
Yes, I am quite sure Christians are helping the poor sufferers around the world, especially around Fallujah. Good ol' Christian Bush Jr. helped out those people tremendously.
Faith writes:
2) You really think suffering in this life is more important than eternal suffering?
My reply wasn't self-evident?
Faith writes:
3) Why is it that nobody seems to learn that God DIDN'T create suffering, that it's the result of human sin?
Err, your god didn't create mankind and didn't know it would eventually result in human sin? Really? Your god isn't terribly bright, is he?
Edited by dronester, : "wasn't". typos, typos, typos.
