Steve,
We need our parents when we are born and to guide us. How much more do we need God who knows ALWAYS the best way to guide us through life? Good magic to all, Eric |

However the second part of your statement, If the 'god' could have "always existed," why couldn't the elements that compose the constantly-in-motion universe? It is a questioin that we have answered several times becasue until God created them they did not exist. They could not have come from nothing. they are nothing but elements and pocess no God like qualities. God made them just as He made everything else. While it is hard to believe as an atheist we get bacak to what I have been ssaying for quite some times now, believe what you want. I gave you my thoughts on where everything came from and I am sure yours differ being an atheist, so again believe what you want. I do.

At least we now know what it takes to convince you. Thanks for that. Because that is what I asked and you answered. To bad you weren't around for the parting of the Sea or the changing of the Nile to blood. I belieive theyare beyond the ability of man also. But of course those that did not see this say it did not happen. So as time would go on there would be people that would say that what aGod did for you also did not happen.

You can PayPal the advance. That'll include a references section.

Kam-
Other than Baha'i law, what steps do you think will regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples?

I'm wondering how a proposal to satisfy the needs of all people would be applied to those who are sado-masochists or drug addicts.
To avoid that interpretation it seems obvious that the governing council would be the ones determining what the real needs of the people are. It sounds like they would consider their decisions to be "for their own good" even if all of the people didn't agree. |

Today we see several countries where there are severe persecutions happening where this reality of oneness is not being practiced. Maybe the US and its allies, rather than 'adjusting its relationship with other nations' over oil, would possibly in the future look at adjusting relationships to encourage an environment where love and harmony may have a better chance of existing. Better justice for all. That's all it's saying, nothing more nothing less, just better justice for the oppressed.... Kam

Once again, you misrepresent my words by filling in the gaps from your own preconceptions- so who's prejudiced? "Slither?" Are you kidding me?: "IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE." That is the explanation. How is it "slithering" to provide the ****ing explanation? Seriously? My love of parsimony is the line that sets you off? If you think I'm missing something then quit being such a smug little condescending... outstanding individual... and fill in what it is that you think is missing, Your Highness. For such an "evolved being" you have a lot of growing up to do. I know I have a long way to go too, but the difference between us is that I don't claim to have the best way, it's just my way, and I don't care if you cotton to it or not. Now, I do think you mean well. But "balls?" I antagonize people several hours a day for free just to record what happens. I like you, but I sure as Hell ain't worried about your twisted little opinion of me. Have a nice day.

Ok, mate, whatever you say....you say it sounds awful, then you say it is what it sounds like i.e awful.
You made the comment. I was asking you to elaborate what you found awful about it? You still refuse to answer my question.... .....and then you tell me I have a twisted opinion of you? Go figure lol Kam

Notice that my opinion is not of the entire religion, but one single concept. Notice that I didn't bash Kam's religion or its followers. I wasn't even bashing Kam. But because my opinion was not a positive one, Kam has chosen to respond by bashing me and accusing me of slithering spinelessness. I don't know what the Baha'i policy is on suppression of opinions, but I think Kam's views on the matter are clear. Thanks, "buddy." To be clear- I have many prejudices (as do we all) but I have none about the Baha'i faith. I have no opinion at all about the Baha'i faith as a whole. My opinions here are of what Kam says and nothing more.

Yet I think you've bashed every single concept of the Baha'i faith that I have raised on every thread....
I'm not worried as long as there's some explanation behind your thinking, but you choose not to elaborate at all.... kam
