 Hi Ricardo!
 
 You have made an assumption, something the real God would never do.

So now you put rules unto god! Where's your humility?
I am god and I am almighty so I can assume whatever I want.

 You 
 assumed that *I* believed you were God, which I do not.

I know that deep in your heart you know I AM. I hope you can find a way
to see through your pride and your other sins. Otherwise I'll have to
give you to Lucifer.

 I only believe that 
 *you* believe you are God, something I have suspected for quite a while. If 
 you were really God you would have already have known this, but . . .

You do really believe. I know. Remember I'm everywhere, and I've seen
you when you lay by your sweetheart's side (Mikey I mean), and you did
not shout 'Oh! God!' you shouted Oh! Ricardo! (and some other
disgusting things like I wanna be yours Mikey!).

I concur, Steve.

Everything is indeed the way God wants it. We are confounded by this because it 
rather goes against how we, in our imagined capacity as God, would have done 
just about everything from the beginning of time. Would the pot say to the 
potter, 'Why have you made me so?'

Some people respond to this with incredulity---though they profess faith; 
others respond to it angrily, and cling to logic and other fig leaves of 
knowledge to wage a sort of anti-holy war against it. Ed's impassioned lashing 
out at a God that would, in his words, mock the poor dumb creatures he created 
is the classic expression of Nietzsche's rage and consequent desire for the 
death of God, at least as a matter of cultural influence.

If people really read Scripture from beginning to end on its own terms, rather 
than through the prism of their preconceived notions--religious, or 
unreligious--they'd realize that the whole enterprise of existence that it 
describes is so many-layered and multi-faceted that the whole frame of 
reference of most 'debates' between ostensible believers and ostensible 
unbelievers about what the 'Bible says' or doesn't say and what it means is 
more often than not quite nearly the opposite of what both sides understand it 
to be.

This too, I gather, is by design. It's a spiritual puzzle. What makes it 
unsolvable for most folks is that we live in physical bodies and our conscious 
existence on this plane is so centered on that basic fact---as seems only 
appropriate to natural man. This is our stumbling block, and staying in that 
frame of reference is precisely what causes us to become entangled in words 
and confounded by subtleties to once again quote Federalist #31.

At one time I considered being a priest but I decided I wanted to get closer

Hi Stephen!

Arrgh!

One of the saints, or maybe a pope a long time ago said Outside the Church 
there is no Salvation but it wasn't Ex Cathedra or anything like that. 
Searching  . . .  here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_Ecclesiam_Nulla_Salus

A Papal Bull by pope Boniface VIII. A Papal Bull is an official letter from 
a pope. He doesn't have to wear the three crowns to send a letter, however.

Ex Cathedra: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05677a.htm
Infallability: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07790a.htm#V

The Church lost her credibility after Vatican II stalled in politics. Now this 
stuff is well informed opinion, but little more than that.

 Even if you want to consider Free Will, your God certainly is smart enough 
to know that with the limited wisdom he is giving these creatures, some will 
make bad choices, and get condemned to Hell. Even many of the angels, who are
 supposedly not bound by human frailties and physical temptations,
 could not live up to your God's standards, and are now condemned to
 Hell.

You are using the Round Circle fallacy. If God were the supreme being, he 
could make a round circle. Never mind that a round circle could not be.

The initial creations *had* unlimited wisdom, but once given free will some of 
them still made bad choices. Write an app, give it free will and see what it 
does, regardless of how good the data.

Hi Bob!

Really. I believe that God is saddened by the failure of some persons, but 
accepts this as the natural consequence of giving every person the use of 
free will. That is not the same as saying it is all the way God wants it.

Of course, reasonable minds may differ. However, to say that God is a meanie 
because he didn't make man a slave to goodness is, well, mean.

 No, Catholic books, Catholic saints. There are tons of books and hundreds 
 of saints. Theologians spend their lives on these questions.

Theologians deduct things. But the 'reality' from which they are allowed
to deduce this must be actual books inspired by god. AFAIK the only one
(to catholics of course) that complies would be the bible. As for
'saints' that is a recognition the church gives to a man if it can be
established he performed a couple of miracles and some other requisites.
But the 'saint' condition does not make his writings 'holy' nor part of
dogma. So I ask again, besides the bible, what other catholic (that
means god inspired, certified to be true by religion) books are you
referring to?

 snip
 
 It is a whole structure of beliefs. If you don't believe a piece then
 the whole comes down.
 
 Or if I don't believe that God really, really wants me to sleep with a homo 
 priest right now? It wasn't that bad, really!

Didn't get the joke.

 
 The honest priests tell you that you are free to believe anything reasonable. 

Reasonable is a tricky word. Who defines the extent of 'reasonable'?
Catholic church says, 'reasonable is what WE define all others are out
of the church'. Ok, they base themselves in the infallibility of the
Pope. In your religion, who defines what 'reasonable' is?

 If your religious background was that nit-picky absolute that you had to 
 believe every tiny detail regardless of how fantastic then I don't blame you 
 for being hostile to it.

Which details am I able to ignore in your view?

 
 Of course, I was studying theology at a Jesuit college - completed a minor in 
 theology in fact, and I guess they are not all that doctrinaire.

The more the reason for me to ask you. But if you are half a Jesuit your
answers should be more clear and to the point.

Hey Bob!
   Got news for you. I AM GOD!
And whatever you say to prove I am not is because you in your human
frailty and fallibility can not conceive the REAL reasons I have to be
as I AM. So please, from now on you'll pray to me from 9 to 9:30 pm . It
must start with Heil Ricardo the almighty, you that rules all.
Ooops. Almost forgot. You have to make a monthly donation of 500$ to me.
Or else


Yo God, thanks for the clarification. :|

Check is in the mail... ;-)

Hi Ricardo!

This is a party conversation, the thread is the subject line.

 2 - Tell the Jesuits they should include irony in the theology
 curricula. It's a bigg hole in your education.

No It isn't. You communicate irony the same as non irony in your emails - only 
you knows it is irony. I don't think I would use irony in quite that way, 
even if I were you.

So you didn't really mean to blaspheme. Thank goodness for that.

Yes, I meant to blaspheme. You see, amongst those little things you
mentioned that we are allowed to think as we wish I believe I have a
deal with god. I don't pay attention to whatever he says or does, and he
does the same with me. So you see, I'm allowed to blaspheme (according
to Presbyterianism).

By acting dumb they lose sight of the last profit or the ones before.
Jesus came to Judaism where the primary crux of the leaders was the LAW.
They lost sight of God as the father.  

Mohammed came reset the course back to God-Allah in the area that didn't run
with the Christ model and didn't do the Jewish thing at the time.

I don't know squat about Buddhism as of yet but plan on reading about it
after I get a better foundation for Islam.  I thought that there was a
desire within it to be of a simpler lifestyle, help the poor and fellowship
with others is better then leadership or dominance of others.  I'll find out
later this year or next.

Otherwise there would be no disease, cancer, AIDS, etc.  Life goes on and

Why should anything need fixing? It's exactly the way God made it,

 Otherwise there would be no disease, cancer, AIDS, etc.  Life goes  
 on and
 it's all up to you and what you do with your opportunities.

IMO, it's much easier to accept these things as that's just the way  
the world works instead of God wants people to get cancer and  
AIDS. A random, impartial universe at least somewhat resembles the  
human notions of fairness; an all-powerful God who gives children  
cancer is a repulsive notion.

 Do you act sinful in nature or are you a better person?  Do you see  
 your
 errors and change what you do?  God gives you as many chances as  
 you need.
 It's all up to you and your desire.

That's crap. You just said that humans were dumb in the sense that  
they can't tell God's real prophets from the false ones. Yet it was  
God who made them dumb, and then punishes them for being exactly the  
way that he made them.

BTW, yes, I am always trying to improve myself and live a good life.

  Are we addressing this problem?

 Here's the Problem of Evil in a nutshell: Why did a personal, loving
 God create a world in which evil exists? Why did God give man  
 freedom
 to commit evil acts? Atheists reason, Surely an all-knowing God of
 Love would not allow evil to exist in His world.

 Isn't the above the crux/nexus of what is being discussed here?

Not exactly. What we are discussing is the claim that God is  
omnipotent, and thus man is exactly the way he wants them to be. They  
have exactly the range of intelligence, insight, wisdom, and  
compassion levels that he wanted them to have. Then, when they turn  
out exactly as he designed them, he gets angry at them and tortures  
them for all eternity.

The question of evil in the world is quite different. This is more a  
question of responsibility. If I design something and it fails, it is  
not the fault of my design, it is my fault. If I am incapable of  
fault, then what you've called a failure is in fact a feature,  
since in my omnipotence I created it exactly the way I wanted it.

Hi Ricardo!

This is *Catholic* Church doctrine. The Catholic theologians came to these 
conclusions by studying not only the bible, but other religious books, 
teachings of the saints over the years and the like. It is not a high 
obligation of Catholics to believe every detail of this as far as I know.The 
wikipedia article has some of the scripture references if this interests you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_in_Christianity

I am Presbyterian, which is similar to Catholic in some respects. There is a 
basic understanding that Presbyterians will believe that Jesus is the Lord 
and Savior and beyond that Presbyterians are free to follow their own 
conscience with regard to moral decisions.

   This is your statement, so I feel safe in assuming that it is your
 opinion. 
 
   In previous threads you've commented that you also believe that your
 God is omnipotent. If that is incorrect, please state that you
 believe he is not.  

God is the Almighty.  
 
   Assuming that you believe he is, the fact that mankind is just
 dumb directly requires that your God made him that way, since God
 created everything, and God can't make mistakes. Remember, being
 omnipotent means that no one else can interfere with the results of
 your actions, so *everything* must be as you wanted it.

Ed why didn't you say that God wanted my mother in law to DIE?  

I think that your putting in way to much as to what God wants, considering
you mock his existence. 

   Put two and two together now. You have a concept of an omnipotent
 God who then denies Heaven to those who do not accept him, and a
 group of his own creation who are too dumb to understand his
 revelations and do not accept him. These dumb beings are then c ast
 off into Hell, which by definition is an eternity of torture and
 suffering. 

I don't know what God does with lost souls.  Sorry if you thought that I had
an inside track.  I really believe that God accepts all sorts of souls, in
that those who do the right thing.  Some who believed in Christ, and others
do not.  We will find out in the end I guess.  
 
   You like throwing out these comfy little platitudes like God gives
 you as many chances as you need. If that were true, though, then
 nobody would ever be in Hell, since they were obviously too dumb to
 recognize these chances in order to take advantage of them. If these
 dumb people get tossed into Hell, they couldn't have gotten as many
 chances as they needed. 

If you are given the chances but don't take advantage of them what do you
expect?  You are to respect others, help the poor, act humble, I could go
on.  If you fail to do the right thing then you could suffer.  Who knows,
you may just be stuck in purgatory for a long while getting your head right.


   Let's say I'm trying to communicate with, oh, a 3-year-old, and
 instead of telling her what I want her to do in no uncertain terms, I
 send her into a crowded mall, and also send in a couple of strangers
 to hint at what it is she should do. Then, when she doesn't
 understand, I punish her for all eternity. Would you then want to
 worship me, too? 

Only in jail as a pedophile.  

I give up as to what your going after here?

None of them are right, yet they are all right.
Everybody is a product of the culture that they were raised in.

That lady today that said this is a war against modern day values versus the
old keep them under your thumb attitudes of the last few centurys hit the
nail on the head.

So only time will tell which one is the right one: Raelism?

I suspect when you die, all will be revealed.  I
believe somehow, all the major religions are somehow
linked together and serve the same God in a
slightly-different way.

If you've ever seen a ghost, you know that life lives
on after the physical body dies.

Hi Helio!

Not quite. Each religion is the social record of people's experience of God. 

All people experience God, but they express their experience differently. Some 
people deliberately avoid the experience of God as long as they can.

I think God probably has a loophole for the agnostic,
but for the Atheist who openly mocks his existance,
not so much.
