IF God is creating all with but a thought time and space as we see them matter not. And if but a thought you might be a thought in his likeness. It is a matter of choice not stupidity. I won't try to force my thoughts on you and you shouldn't do so to others.

HOMER
Oh right, the God dude. Hey, I got a question for you. (pulls out a piece of paper) "Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?"

NED
Well sir, of course, he could, but then again... wow, as melon-scratchers go that's a honey-doodle.


Love the simpsons

Oh I beg to differ, time (which is matter in motion through space) and space and matter make up all that we know to be real. In fact, you have to strip apart that very fabric of our existence before you can even begin to think of our existence not being "caused"

I don't really see it as forcing my views on others, I just live out my beliefs. I'm no more ashamed to say I believe Jesus is God, than I am to say I smoke pot. I'm not ashamed to talk about my beliefs, Christianity, any of it; #%CK Censorship.

Amen I don't care how you live or what you beleive but do take exception to someone saying if I don't beleive as they do that I must not have a brain. Gonzo I don't think new understanding of the Cosmos takes way from God but emproves it.

Jesus, he spat out the gall. So there were things he wouldn't consume.

Also he told the devil to get away from him. So there were things he did not want to do. He made choices.

the traditional philosophical question is "can God make a stone so big that He couldn't lift it?"

and the answer is no. It is nonsensical to pose the question. The Ontos of God is beyond the boundaries of matter. Even if He were to expand the boundaries of creation to accomodate such a stone, or in your question the heat of a burrito, He would still be bigger than that existence.

SO the answer is no. There is no possible way to make a stone so big that it goes beyond the boundaries of matter like God is. God is always bigger than the existence He created.

Ignorance does not mean stupidity. I dont believe people are unintelligent because they practice a religion. Your free to believe what you will and am not attempting to impose my beliefs on you. Creation myths are common around the globe and understandably so. It only makes sense for mankind to attempt to give meaning to itself. But I use the word ignorance in that way things we cant explain have been attributed to god simply because we could not explain them and were ignorant of certain truths. People used to think god made the tide come in and out, god created the clouds, god created man etc. Also to add I think that there are processes out there that we cannot understand the vastness of the cosmos like I said is something incomprehensible but I dont feel comfortable attributing something to god and leaving it at that because it seems beyond our understanding currently as a race. There are certainly processes going on that we do not understand probably because we are no where near intelligent enough or technologically advanced enough, but it doesnt mean it cant be understood eventually with some work and time IMO. No offense intended though..I understand where your coming from. Religion vs science , pretty flammable issue considering the bearing of the outcome on our lives believers and non believers alike.

Also thanks for answering my post Antipas, too lazy to respond... right ... now......

Also it is written, do not tempt (or TEST) the lord your god. Do not even waste time trying to answer it. It is a waste of time

The answer is both yes and no. However, most people will choose only one answer based on how they define and understand the concept of Infinity

I haven't been what Christians call Christian in a long long time, but I like how C.S. Lewis treated the Chinese buddhist situation - everything good you do, you do in the name of good, everything bad you do, you do in the name of bad, God apparently looks at the heart and if you are sincere in being a good person, whatever your religion, you get into heaven.

It gets tricky though when you are asked to define "good person", I look at it this way, if you are mindful about never doing anything that harms another person, you're on the right path.

These days I'm definitely of the view that most rivers lead to the ocean.
