Seeing is believeing

[acydikeen]

Hey, I'm new here, and this is my first post so listen up

Basicaly, this is about the religious view I have that "seeing is believeing".

I have not seen God, nor have I seen any proof he exists.. So I don't particuarly believe in him.
But what I have see, is nature, in its glory and destructive vengance..

I believe that we all owe allegance to nature, as what else is it that nutures us, that helps us grow our food and animals, and indeed ourselves?


What do you think of this?

I think you are in trouble when ted sees this, that is what I think

and welcome BTW, i think you may be interesting...

personally i don't have any problem with your view of nature. but have you considered that nature is just one of gods toys?

If nature is a "toy" to God, then what are we to him?

And whom is "Ted"?

Ted is not one "to be feared" no worries. He is the resident religious scholar.

Welcome. Interesting theory. I like that you maintain a connection to nature if not to a divine source.

I have no real reason to believe in a "god" as such, yet I have seen and felt and truly experienced nature's wrath..

Interesting, but thats a long time "at the drawing board"

Agreed, but if god didn't have to factor in the 'free will' bit, things would have moved along at a much swifter pace, don't you think?

Not really.
Humanity would have rebelled

He gave us personality, so he gave us the ability to rebel..
