Why should someone start believing in God?

@reflechissez

Native American holy ground equals god’s “feelings”? Your posts are getting sillier and sillier.

Re-read the post. I was equating Native American Holy Ground with God being a Holy Ground to me.

Again, I will politely ask you to address the topic, not me.

Obviously, I am not a victim. I am quite direct in what I find acceptable. Everyone should be addressing the topic, not the poster, and not what one thinks of another poster’s posts. We just had a prime example here yesterday of what happens when I addressed Borgia_dude and not his post. Let’s not have a repeat. Back to the topic, then.

What are the benefits of seeking and finding God?

@Borgia_dude

Your answer is physical healings are rare. Ok, that’s fine. Even if rare, why does God never heal amputees? He has had all of human history to do so. That is a lot of possibilities so when you apply “rare” it means we should have seen some.

And here we go again! ASKED AND ANSWERED!

Listen. Remember the post where I noted in that all the healing attributed to God, there has been ALWAYS been something physical to work with. In healing he blind, the eye was still there. There has never been an instance when a person lost an eye and a new one popped in.

In physical healing, God has always had something to work with, He did not begin with nothing. This reminds us how long it takes for an eye to evolve (or be created): 364,000 years or something like that in even the best conditions.

I truly believe God was/is involved in creation, but I do not believe He magicked everything into existence in the blink of an eye, not unless that blink took hundreds of thousands of years.

You are searching for a genii, not God. And I don’t know why a genii won’t visit Veteran’s hospitals and blink new limbs into existence. Perhaps ask someone who has experience with genii’s. My experiences in the supernatural are limited to God–and only a small particle of all there is to know or experience about Him.

So you are saying raising someone from the dead is not beyond God’s power, but putting an eye back into place or a limb is beyond his power.

That’s quite interesting…God has less power than nature, which has indeed bestowed the power of limb regeneration to many species.

And here you admit you have only knowledge of “a small particle of all there is to know and experience of God”…yet you make a sweeping generalization about his healing power.

Back to the topic. How did you determine that physical healing by god is “relatively rare?”

While putting limitations on it. Otherwise, god would be a genii.

What you so strongly intimated by discussing how hard it was for the eye to evolve in the first place.

I make a sweeping generalization about how I see His healing power. Again, sharing a perspective. What is your perspective?

My perspective is that when there are several explanations for a phenomenon…INCLUDING your belief that you have had a true spiritual encounter with God, BTW…absent extraordinary evidence, there is little reason to invoke a deity as an explanation.

It goes back to the question I asked a while ago which you dodged…if you can’t explain to me how a universe without God would look different from a universe created by God, then there’s no reason to believe this universe was created by God.

So why did you spend so many posts trying to dodge the questions that people were asking? Why didn’t you just say: “it’s my perspective” [also known as opinion] and it’s not based on anything other than how I feel about it.? Would have saved a lot of keystrokes.

Hey whatever is convenient in the moment of debate

Yes, people discuss YOUR posts. Wow…

@JayJay

which you dodged

Since suggesting two other possibilities is dodging, perhaps someone can submit a response that is not considered dodging.

Meh. You all but said god’s healing power is limited by science or else she would be a genii.

@reflechissez

“it’s my perspective”

Everything I say is my perspective. I’ve posted that numerous times. Everything anyone else says is their perspective and I see no reason to go into a paroxysm over someone’s post.

You suggested no other possibilities.

By answering “it would be different, but we can’t know how” is dodging the question.

@reflechissez

You all but said

But I did not say it, because that is not what I think or meant.
