Do people like to point out the bad things "your" god does?

You only have to thank that to yourself.

You felt the need to start this dialogue. You have only yourself to blame for the response.

a reply to: TzarChasm

No actually, I'm not responsible for what people post.

Yes, why not think God has to explain Himself to us. Get Him on His knees boy.

God spoke to us through the Bible.

read some. it will answer many questions.

Many, many good people who have suffered and survived with their honor intact deserve more than an antiquated piece of literature. A face to face dialogue is essential in a relationship. These flimsy excuses to avoid a very simple interaction is just more proof of the obvious and nothing you say will change that. If there was ever such a creature, it died long ago and we are on our own.

It does, I agree.

Or some other answer you've heard many times. But
you always discard because it doesn't fit the hand you
want to play. You keep tossing away perfectly good aces
of information every time you get an answer to your questions.

You ask questions but the answers that make sense for others
are never good enough for you. So you immediately start hammering
away at them before they even have a chance to sink in. You know why?
Because you don't want answers. You want to mock and ridicule
others because you think it makes you look superior.

That's the only thing you want to achieve. And the only reason why
you single out and wade thru almost every religious thread constantly.
The only ones I don;t see your mocking in are those where it's obvious
you'd get brutalized. No it's always the easy mark for you. And then you
have the gall to use the word coward?

What you do is the laziest way someone can get that self gratification
you so adore. You think God should do everything your way? Seriously
Chaz thanks for the laugh.Classic.

Carry on

mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and, in fact every thing we, as humans, have ever conceived of, and more, to some emotionally stunted office drone?

LOL "it" created adam & eve and getting Noah to count 2 x 2s for the Ark. And yet waited for a few thousand years more before he created the Greeks to improve on mathematics.

Bullsnip - create more questions - like predestination, free will, whether or not there will be a rapture.....the list goes on

The Greeks didn't 'improve on' mathematics. The just found out about a few things. Just like the others (Egyptians, Chinese, Sumerians & so on..), before them.

We are still finding out stuff that has always existed since the start of the universe.

LOL again, are you being purposely ignorant?. The enemies of Israel seemed to get a better deal in knowledge

What Were the Ancient Accounting Systems?
Accounting methods emerged thousands of years ago—perhaps more than 10,000 years ago—in what we now regard as the Middle East region.1 Sumerians in Mesopotamia, Babylonians, and the ancient Egyptians recognized the need for counting and measuring the results of labor and effort. As these ancient societies built more complex civilizations, the need to conduct simple arithmetic, writing, and trade emerged. These ingredients eventually led to the formations of currency, capital, private property arrangements as well as systems for commerce and public management.

Ancient Hebrews collected mathematical ideas from the societies that preceeded them, or were around them.

In 1 Kings 7:23-26 it relates the diameter of a circular vessel holding water to its circumference which, although it isn't clear in its translation, seems to imply Pi to about four decimal places. This was written approximately between 560 BC to 540 BC and isn't bad for the time.

Biblical Math Mystery Solution for PI - Prophecy truths

Archimedes of Syracuse (one of those renowned Ancient Greek mathematicians), about 300 years later, was not as accurate.

Archimedes, Measurement of a Circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,

Mathematics of the Hebrew People - Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures

They weren't that different from any other peoples around them at the time.

So 2nd link is to wiki that says nothing about Hebrew math

The 1st points to a religious site with conversations with god about on/off again rationalizing war with Iraq

ad2004.com...
"Why US should go to war for IRAQ"

And the 3rd cant be fully accessed....

1st link was an article about 1 Kings 7:23-26 as it relates to Pi. I wasn't sourcing any other documents/pages on that site.

2nd link was a Wikipedia link about Archimedes and his (later than the Biblical reference) approximation of Pi.

3rd link is to a Swedish scientific publication house's publicly accessible article on the Mathematics of the Hebrew People.

I have no idea why you cannot access the web page referfenced.

the Bible answers the important questions; who are we, where did everything come from, sin, salvation, heaven.
I am curious about certain things I don't know or understand but I am willing to wait for the right time of revealing.

let's appreciate the knowledge we have and accept that we won't have all the answers in this life.

To bad people dont get struck where they stand from all the way up there, eh? That would really instill some faith in God...or fear out sheer reasons.

People have never really been listened to so they listen to theirselves talking to their own.
