there's a problem with you all putting up some picture like the one above^^^^^^^^^ to make fun. It's nasty, and it's rude. Grow up. ----------------------------- Excuse me? Rude and nasty? This IS the God thread, is it not? I put up a picture of a God. The fact that you're calling Ganesh rude and nasty is very insulting to the Hindus. Only pictures of your particular God should be pernmitted on this thread? How rude! Listen Weltzie. I didn't say your "god" was rude and nasty. You're as bad as Tosh, twisting words. You 2 must be kindred spirits, that's for sure. ;D I told you that you are rude. Because you always put that pic up in reference to God Almighty....the one and only God. Man, believe what You want it's all good. Ok? No need in getting all worked up. God is a Spirit. We are made in his image. So I was simply asking you who was that and did you admire that pic? It has an elephant trunk ok? I had no idea what that pic was. I don't worship it. I worship God. The one True God IMO~ He is a Spirit, that we have yet to see. And until that day, I nor anyone else will see Him, if we are lucky enough to make it there. Calm down. I don't care what you believe in. You're getting all worked up over some pic I know nothing about. But I know it certainly isn't GOD. If the hindu's worship that, well then that's fine and dandy.

We, however do know better as we have access to the "Holy Word," and as it is written in a Commandment to us, "I am the Lord thy God", "Thou shalll have no other Gods before me". "Thou shall not worship or have any false idols or graven images before you." Most of our Presidents in years past, when making a big decision would call on a spiritual man to pray with in the WH. For years it was the Reverend Bill Graham, a true man of God. I believe that prayer is quite a powerful thing. k to you...

Isn't it funny how positive energy from other People can reflect on Us so much? You truly are a Godsend.

Well, there are some people from whom I like absorbing positive energy whilst giving away my negative one. Think of Yin and Yang.

This is true, just train your mind to overlook the negative input. They are the miserable ones. I, myself am exposed to negative energy, but somehow I can rise above it and block it out. I feel pity for people that impose that on others. I just relish the people in my life that have been a genuine support system. On my bad days, I seem to encounter someone or something that will lift my spirits which is truly a Godsend.

Heh, no wonder none of my prayers have been answered. God is too busy being your personal alarm clock. Does he beep or can you tune Him to a good morning radio show?
The picture you're getting bent out of shape about is one of Lord Ganesha, a legitimate god worshiped by tens of millions of Hindus. Do other faiths offend you for some reason?
What an insulting thing to say. Christians here seem to be demanding respect, then you belittle the Hindu faith, a faith FAR older than Christianity by thousands of years. Perhaps after this, some will begin to see why Christians so often do not command the respect of atheists.

How arrogant and downright sad to bash every God but your own. No respect for anyone else's beliefs or values. Seems to be more important to have your God be the only one and be "right" than it is to be respectful of the basic tenet of Freedom of Religion. It's this kind of closed mindedness that is scary and makes Christians less than appealing.

You guys can sit and mock and deny God all You want. But I will not be quiet while you mock the One thing in life that wakes me up every Day and gives me life, joy, and peace. And when I need Him, He's there. You can believe anything You want. You call us rude for defending Him. That's our job as Believers. If there's a problem with us defending, then I guess there's a problem with you all putting up some picture like the one above^^^^^^^^^ to make fun. It's nasty, and it's rude. Grow up. If You don't believe, then fine, but don't say You know He doesn't exist and then compare him to Humpty Dumpty. Talk about having the mentality of a child. Please. Wow! Quite the rant! May I guide your attention to the title of this thread? It's called "Does God exist?" That means the thread is open to debate about the existence of God. It also allows for debate about other Gods besides your own. If you're going to have a hissy fit over said debate, may I suggest you stick to the God-Loving People" thread? You can post scripture and song lyrics all day long without being exposed to alternative views which seem to be so terribly offensive to you.

You are the arrogant one for assuming. If you want to worship your materail things or some golden statue, that is your privilege. Christians are open minded and if that's what you choose, so be it. There's nothing scary about the Bible, and no one wants to convert the pagans or whatever you call them. However, there is a senxe of longing in most indiviuals to find a higher power that suits their needs and we believe it is God and btw, the majority of people take Christianity seriously and the ones I know have humility.

Speaking of graven images, you should check out the other God thread. It's plumb full to bursting with graven images. Maybe you should go over there and give them a piece of your mind.

I don't believe that I'm the one sitting around telling everyone how MY God is the ONLY one & "true" God..... that's the closed minded Christians hypocritical job and one they cherish & thrive off of....yall are really good at it.... Nothing like being completely closed minded AND going against the long standing Constitutional belief of FREEDOM OF RELIGION.....that is, as long as it's YOUR God being bowed down to.

As well, he should be. It has nothing to do with the Constitiution, it's a personal committment.

It has nothing to do with the Constitiution, it's a personal committment. as I stated, clearly arrogant and closed minded because no other God is allowed but yours. Bet you'd LOVE for the US to be a theocracy that makes your God mandatory for everyone no matter what.... no freedom for others, your way or else!

What the Hindus choose to worship doesn't affect me, either way. I doubt if any of the past Presidents called on a Hindu to pray with them at the WH whenever they felt they needed prayer. Your comparisons always seem to be to the extreme. I am a Conservative, and disagree with most of your concepts, but hey, if hedonism benefits you, that's all that counts.

Didn't you JUST say it has nothing to do with the Constitution, but a personal choice? Would you like to point out where it's legally required for our President to be a Christian exactly like you? Or anywhere that it's required for the President to even have or express any religious beliefs...... is going to the WH the ultimate in Christian goodness? since YOU brought the White House into it..... ;D

IMO that is bashing every other religious belief in the world.....if you don't like it, there's this cute little IGNORE button that you can click by my name.... please feel free to do so.... thank you ever so much for your full cooperation ;D
