> Obviously, I don't agree that God doesn't exist.
yeah :-)
> How you concluded that in your heart and mind is not something I can possibly know.
ah. logic. i unpacked the notion of omni-god and found myself a contradiction ;-)
(though i will say that other scholars unpack the notion of omni-god and appeal to theodicies - which is the name given to a defence of god in the face of the problem of evil...)
> "you think god buys you something you can't get without belief in god?"> Coming from my experience (of not believing in God at one time to now knowing He exists), I do believe there are many things you can't access without Him.
It is senseless for me to doubt your experience...
You found something in believing in god...
That you did not have before you believed in god...okay.
I wonder...
Whether it might have been possible for you to have come to that WITHOUT believing in god...
Lets see...
> The main one being the certainty of where you go after you die. We all will die one day- me, you, everyone... what happens afterwards?
> Knowing my Redeemer lives and that I am promised a place with Him forever, is a peace that can't be obtained through any other way..Is it that you *KNOW* god exists???
Or it is that you *BELIEVE* god exists???I find peace...
In the thought that death is the end.
That my conscious experience will cease...
That there will be no more pain.But...
I do not claim to know what will happen to me after my body disintegrates.
I do not know.
I like to think it is the end...
But it might not be...
Maybe...There is more than one route to peace?
