Where do you believe your philosophical worldview ultimately comes from?
js1138, I do believe Heartlander's trying to get you to say, um...
Sh*t is not designed and I do not think anyone would look for truth from sh*t. But for anyone to demand that no design was required for intelligence, they must rely on something to form their truth to counter accusations that contradict their philosophy from basically sh*t.
So come on JS1138, let us all hear what you base your worldview upon
philosophical worldview
What's that?
That is beyond my understanding. As I said, I am deficient in my ability to understand theology. Such questions don't make sense to me.
I can understand trying to be a good person, but the requirement to say I believe things I believe to be untrue is beyond my understanding.
My reading of the Bible comes from my heart, not my mind. I have seen modern preachers lie, and I am suspicious of things in the Bible that look like rabble rousing. The Bible was written and assembled by men. I don't believe it is inerrant.
If you ask why I make the attempt to be honest and good, I have to say that's just the way I am. I don't see it as collecting green stamps to get into Heaven.
But mainly when I read the words of Jesus describing how to interact with others, I hear someone who thinks like I do. Better words, clearer thoughts than I have, but they seem to come from the same place I like to be.
