I'm talking about your unbelief not your examples.

Unbelief and sin are related some how which I don't fully understand because I've never really been an unbeliever.

I would look into it if I were you.

I always feel like God helps me most when I try to discover his perspective on a matter. So maybe he will help you. Just don't give up when you don't get an easy pat answer.

"Faith is by hearing."

Why don't you find a church to hang out in and just listen. Don't be in a rush. I think people always think God has to be big and fast because of His reputation for miracles but if you read topics about God alot of people say they find Him in the still quiet voice.

You probably should read Thompson, too though he really addresses believers issues there most likely is a linkage to the problem of unbelief in his work.

He helps people personally identify snafus in obtaining mindfulness and attunement, etc.

Seems to describe the OP perfectly.

It describes everyone.

I keep thinking atheists are like Moses in the bulrushes.

The Pharoah who's a lot like the devil tries to kill all of God's babies but the midwives foil his plot and when that doesn't work the world tries to disarrange their attachments and re-make them in the devil's image just like Moses was attached to Pharoah's sister and made to be like an Egyptian pharoah.

haha i saw this quoted in hopey's post and just had to say something: splendour you've mocked me in more than one post, blatantly and insultingly!! wtf are you on about like you're some lilywhite do-gooder accusing others of behaviours you exhibit for all to see on this forum.

get a fkn grip man and join the rest of us in the real world!!!!!

um. Its not just atheists who find your posts irrational.

I didn't mock you.

You sided with this forum and launched a personal attack on me first.

Try reading the NT. You're suppose to help believers not attack them if you're really a believer.

Let's also not forget that Splendour has accused atheists on this board of being crazy. Normally I would point out to her that sin must be controlling her making her make uninformed claims but we all know that she happily dwells in hypocrisy. Its perfectly fine for her to diagnose others as mentally ill. When scores of people conclude that she is mentally ill then they are being controlled by sin.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

ok then, allow me to make my tone more friendly: splendour, you really could do with learning how to engage with people and communicate with them in ways that they might actually appreciate, which may in turn lead to them giving your views more consideration, and not feeling compelled to insult you.

jesus was a master of talking to people on a level that they engaged with and couldn't help but listen to. jokes aside, you kind of have the diametrically opposite affect, and come across as incredibly self-justifying and blinkered. nobody is ganging up on you, i disagree with most every poster on this forum, but there's a reason why literally everybody is telling you the same thing. do yourself some favours and come round a little bit.

real talk

One flew over the 2+2 forums.
