I cannot see God splitting hairs like this. Not my God anyway.

There is one god -- people can't choose their own god.

Well, there are many religions, so in a way, people do choose, but they obviously all can't be right. Many of them must be inventing a god that suits them. pp has a god who does not split hairs, but other people believe in a god that has very strict rules about things.

nope

no God - all made up

That's why we have different religions - sprouting off from each other or closely linked based on geography - to give us some purpose for living.

MAN-made b/c men have always been in charge

You are so wrong it's sad.

LOL, what evidence do you have? When you claim that someone is wrong on an objective level, you better have something better than personal opinion.

I think I see them asmore similar because I am not Catholic, but because I'm married to one, I'm held to their standard. At least according to the priest who told me I was living in sin.

-OP

It strikes me as unusual that this priest and your friends all know about the marriage in the Protestant church. Is this in a small town or something? No one has ever asked me about where I was married.

This story is falling apart.
OP is trying to say a Catholic priest had the opportunity to tell a non-Catholic during a discussion about where she was married that she was "living in sin"?

Are you and your weird friends hanging out socially with the local Catholic priest and discussing your marriage? Just stop already

The friends were at our wedding. The priest was a priest we talked to about convalidation. I'm not howw you jumped to the fact they're all hanging out.

Anglicans aren't Calvinist. I'm not sure where you got that idea.

I don't mean to revive the old arguments, but the principle of justification by faith is eloquently set out in Calvin's Institutes. I suppose you could trace it to Luther instead; is that what you're suggesting?

Anglicans are arminians is what I was getting at.

The majority of people in the US believe in God, so most live a life with god blessing them. In Scandanavia most people do not believe . Their lives seem pretty god, but just wait til they die. Still, you wonder why God doesn't make their lives more miserable here on earth. Perhaps then more of them would turn to him and then more would go to heaven to live with him forever, which is what God wants for everyone.

You don't have any more proof that any deity doesn't exist. Your personal opinion, that's all.

Arrogance is part of the plan, too, I see. You seem to enjoy being able to "condemn" people to a place called hell.

lol

I love this!

Keep 'em coming!

We have science on our side, which translates into evidence.

What do you have?

Science doesn't disprove any higher power, you know. Or maybe you don't.

lololol

Of course, -- it's impossible to prove anything that exists outside nature and in people's imaginations.

Some people believe in fairies. Wacky -- but thee is no way to disprove it. I could make up some God right now that I decide to "believe" in and no one can disprove it -- that goes for Yahweh, Jesus Christ, Horas, Mithras - you name it. There's no way to disprove any of it!

Right. So when a person says 'science is on my side' it doesn't really forward their case against higher powers.

Hmmm, so what about those starving Ethiopians, Kenyans, etc. who believe in God (and the majority of them do)? You wonder why God makes their life here on earth so miserable.

God loves poor people almost as much as he loves blood. He calls them "blessed." He never said anything about rich people being blessed.
