Guest hitoallusa Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I think it's amazing that he did this.

AdamSmith Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 His piety and patience are perhaps to be admired. Reminded me for no direct reason of R. Crumb's project.

Guest hitoallusa Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well I started this thread to introduce a man's strong will to overcome his pain and illness. We will face that challenging moment sometime in our life too and hope we all find some comfort somewhere as he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hitoallusa Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think the Bible is inspired by God. I just don't believe in the Bible is error free, however. Yes it is true that there are contradictions and things that can't be explained in the Bible. I don't know who first suggested that the Bible was error free? AS, can you find that person through your impeccable research capability? I think who came up with the idea that the Bible is infallible was wrong. What I believe is hope, faith, and love... Compassion toward others and forgiving myself and others for our mistakes... I don't think nothing is wrong with a religion that teaches those things. I got excommunicated for believing that women don't need to be silenced i. Church and someone doesn't have to belong to a certain denomination. Even after my excommunication, didn't lose my faith. I pray something better may wait for me after this life... A little excited what it might be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted May 13, 2013 Members Share Posted May 13, 2013 Philosophy + deity = religion. Haven't humans from time immemorial thought that if there isn't a God they have to "invent" one? Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamSmith Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Haven't humans from time immemorial thought that if there isn't a God they have to "invent" one? That, or something like, is true of many of our behaviors adown the ages. Is it therefore necessarily a recommendation in their favor?
