Do these three facts fit better in an atheistic worldview or a theistic one?

So what I’m saying is someone doesn’t hear some sort of audible voice, it could just be an inner perception about something that is going to happen or is happening. Maybe Hamilton had too much pizza for lunch. But maybe he did hear something like that and it just encouraged him that he could actually hear from God; something like that could strengthen his faith and show him God is interested in what he’s doing. I can totally see where Craig is coming from, I used to be pretty agnostic myself. On the other hand, I fail to see how God isn’t interested in his children and will not do things that will encourage them in their faith and relationship with him.

Now, I think there needs to be some caution of course. People have done insane things in the name of hearing God. These things should be tested. If God is all good, then what he tells us would have to fit in line with goodness and moral rightness, not things like crashing planes into buildings, drowning your children or letting all the animals out of the zoo, er whatever.

I believe God is in all of us and we use him to guide us and if our thoughts happen to be in line with our feeling at that moment when we need him the most, then we just like Josh just might think that “God told me”. So if god was with Josh and the Rangers last night and they lost, does that mean that the “Devil” was with St. Louis? I don’t think so as beer has been called “the liquid of the Gods”.

Let’s take the flip side, you don’t believe in anything out there, so your conscious mind ignores any input that it doesn’t understand from a “scientific” point of view. If information is available from this source and you’re ignoring it, whose the one who benefits most, the one who attributes it to God, or the one who ignores the source? There’s no doubt in my mind whose the winner.

To suggest that humanity has more than just begun to figure out how the universe works, is to give much more credit to science and technology than it deserves. 1000 years from now our progeny will be looking at our knowledge much like we look at the knowledge of those who lived 10,000 years ago. That’s how fast knowledge is expanding. And, they will laugh at our current scientists who insisted that all knowledge resided in things we could observe and measure with the technology that exists today.

Bonnie Swanson Actually, I said Satan. That’s a typo.

He is always asking his followers for cash. Maybe he’s got a gambling problem.

I’d rather include people in my life than exclude them. Whether it is your gender, your ethnicity, your race, handicap, your sexuality…the list goes on, judgement hurts.

Just because he goes public with a statement re: his belief doesn’t make him anything other than a human being with a set of religious beliefs.

….so, are you agreeing with Craig that there is no God? I ‘m confused.

I think Texas would have won Game 6 if the team had a gentleman’s agreement and released its Jewish players – Kinsler and Feldman – much like Hamilton fired his Jewish agent for a born-again one when he got successful.

That means Royals fans will own all of you!
