let us be philosophical for a moment...

first, i have to share a bit of non-philosophical excitment: it's my first year anniversary today. which is kinda nifty, considering a) i don't usually last very long in relationships and b) we're still rather young, and a year seems like a damn long time. XD but, i'm excited.

and now to the philosophy part of this.
let me tell you about this guy. ( Read more... )

I have my two cents to add. :D I totally get what you mean. break_away89 September 3 2009, 00:05:23 UTC
Yeah, I would probably interpreted as an agnostic to a lot of Christians, because I don't really believe most of the Bible. I believe the idea of a supreme being, but not of what most Christians describe it as. The idea of Jesus is cool though, the idea of atoning for our sins as it were. The thing I don't get though is how if you didn't believe he did this you aren't saved. Because I thought Jesus dying and rising again was supposed to cover all sins and forgive. Would it not cover the sin of unbelief? Anyways ( ... )

indeed. the sexism and the contradictions are just too much. and i'd be willing to believe in a supreme being, but i can't quite bring myself to that. i believe in the possibility instead - so i'm not rejecting the idea, just disagreeing with it. :)

Which I perfectly understand. There's one thing a person said that I stumbled across one time...

"Either God wants to abolish evil and cannot,
or he can but does not want to,
or he cannot and does not want to,
or lastly he can and wants to.

If he wants to remove evil, and cannot,
he is not omnipotent;
If he can, but does not want to,
he is not benevolent;
If he neither can nor wants to,
he is neither omnipotent nor benevolent;
But if God can abolish evil and wants to,
how does evil exist?"
