I've asked many Creationists this, and never gotten a coherent answer: how is saying "the Biblical account of creation is true because the Bible says so" not a 'just-so story'? |
Because their pastor told them so. |
Hehe, good one.
Actually, I can read. I read what the Bible says on the subject. As I trust in God, I trust in His Word. That is the reason why I believe.
I feel sorry for you if you don't or can't understand what a great feeling it is to know that God's love is with you when you follow His Word. |
Hey if it feels good it must be true, right?
And no need to feel sorry for people who are emotionally stable and have no need for an imaginary reality to make themselves feel better. Just because you feel something doesn't make it so. In fact emotions are not a very reliable indicator of anything o0ther than the fact you have emotions. For example have you ever felt afraid only to realize you had nothing to fear, and therefore the emotion was wrong so to speak? So, again, emotions prove nothing other than we're capable of feeling emotions. Your claim that you "feel god's love" does not prove a god loves you nor does it prove a god exists" it ONLY proves you have the ability to emote over your own beliefs. Big deal.
Some of us are capable of facing life head on without the aid of jealous, irritable sky pixies and we feel just fine without living in a make believe world.
Yeah, feeling sorry for someone because they don't experience your twisted emotional state which is grounded in fairy tales is pretty fucking stupid don't you think? :-) I mean you might as well say "I feel sorry for you because you don't know the joy and bounty that comes from knowing the love of the tooth fairy" Har har har.
As James Brown once said, "I feel good..."
