God, and God alone bears all the responsibility for 'everything'
God is evil, God is good
That is right, but that doesn't mean jumping to the conclusion that there is no way for us to at least attempt on the immediate level what seems to be an effort to gain benefit and avoid harm. Our only purpose can be to try to survive, and survive beneficially if possible. Yes, on the Ultimate level, it may be that God is what determined the results we ended up choosing, but on the immediate level we should still try if we can try or seem to try to make an effort to benefit ourselves and avoid harm, and to get benefit later as well, after our deaths, in case there is to be more.
So you don't believe in helping others?
People that help others are held in the highest regard by other humans.
Many of these people give up many of their comforts and benefits of life to give to others.

The Lucky AC Wrote:FreedomStands Wrote:The Evil AC Wrote:That is a contradiction. You have stated many times it is impossible for nothing to exist.
How much money are you making off the Internet and long threads?
Probably as much as you are making for hiding to make posts to me and accuse me of things, which I think is zero dollars.
I only have 1 thread. I am not making any money from what I talk about or post or the length or anything.
"there is nothing outside of it" means "nothing exists outside of it" it isn't a contradiction. There isn't anything outside of it is what I'm saying, yes, nothing doesn't exist, only what I call God exists.
I was just asking a question. A friend told me there is money to be made off the net if you know how.
It does seem that by having a super long thread you are now on the LOP top 10 threads list.
I wish. Teach me how if there is a way you know.

You seem pretty clued up and well researched.

so we should defy God and challenge Gods domination over us then ??
Well, you can think of it that way if you want, but basically try to do good so that you might have a reward later.
If God doesn't give it to you, at least you died trying.

Well, I haven't looked into any way to make money from posting about religious stuff on LOP.
If anyone knows, then I'd like to know so I can make some cashola from all this crapola.

I do believe in helping others, I believe that is how one could potentially achieve a reward later.

to me "good" and "evil" just mean "harm" and "benefit".
For God, nothing can "harm" or "benefit" God.
For us, things can "harm" and "benefit" us.
All experiences are information, and this includes experiences of "harm" and experiences of "benefit".
All information is produced by God, sustained by God, and animated by what I call God.
My advice is to seek the benefit, and avoid the harm, even if you're being controlled ultimately, to try your best on the immediate level to seek the benefit and avoid the harm.

RE: Try to prove God.
WORSHIP MY RELIGION...AND GET YOUR DIVINE REWARDS !
 
do the cult members honestly believe any divine god would respect a human who worships with the selfish mindset that they deserve divine rewards for their worship ?
A true divine God would respect humans who do good things, just because its the right thing to do, compared to cult members who worship a singular religion and expect the almighty to hand them free divine rewards for eternity.

In your thread you have said that you believe when we die it is the end and there is nothing for us beyond that point.

If we are being controlled ultimately then everything ceases to have a point and meaning. Are you saying God and reality is pointless?

so John 3:16 basically means: "God so loved himself that he sent his only son to die in his place, as God is much more important than his meaningless children"
anyways -- i do got to go before she strangles me -- i leave the final word to you in this discussion, i will read it later....thanks

In your thread you have said that you believe when we die it is the end and there is nothing for us beyond that point.
I'm pretty sure I said more than that, multiple times.
Even in the third link on the first post I talk about death, and in the fourth link I think I do too.
No, I don't think it is definitely the end. I don't think one experiences anything when they are dead, just like we didn't experience anything we know of before we were alive.
So there could be a huge span of time, but you wouldn't know it, until you wake up again.
Waking up again is the whole issue, and it is that possibility one has to prepare for by putting up a defense of good deeds if one is going to be called to account for their actions during life as the ancients have claimed.
