I just find the close-mindedness common to both cynics and fundamentalists to be ironic, that's all.
But as far as anybody being "right?" Well, Hell, we all have a part to play. Perhaps yours is the part of the questioner and agitator. So, in the end, I don't really WANT you to change... nor do I want fundamentalists to change. Like I said, it transcends who is right and who is wrong. Real change can only come when a person decides that's what they want.. not because somebody else pounded it into their head.
And having at different times in my life been both a fundamentalist of sorts and a rather cynical agnostic/atheist... I know enough to know each has to find his own path. |
why answer me if you can't think of an answer other then name calling??? And why do you assume only you are secure in what they hold to be true?? Because you words certainly point to you believing this.
How many people do you suppose think they are open minded and everyone who doesn't agree with them is close minded or narrow minded??? See from my POV you are narrow minded and all wishy washy with what you believe..
what does a 'path' have to do with Origin of God??? the topic of this thread
From what you've stated you prefer to believe there is a God because you like to think this isn't all there is and that people should be 'good' to each other for some reason you've not really explained. You do as you are from a Western Country seem to believe this goodness is somehow derived from the Christain God even if you changed what Christains hold to be true to suit your own POV ...
You've created a "God' or belief that you think is right..there is nothing wrong with this but please be aware this is what you have done..created God in your own image not the other way around..the Origin of your God is you |
