A Fist Full of Doubt's

So Jesus is kinda a bookie of sorts.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose

It’s funny he seems to give me food when I need it, not when I want it.

I can tell you that suspending the urge to believe has not only corrected my schizophrenic disorder, it has also allowed my brain to continue absorbing knowledge as it naturally should. That has been extremely helpful for survival while I have been living outside on the streets. I just can't believe my fears away, I have to continue learning and expanding my thinking in a changing universe.

We're you diagnosed by a qualified professional?

Because, all respect, yuur explanation for your atheism, or absence of belief in God, is worded as would occur within,by, a mind suffering with Schizophrenia.

You don't gamble do you? A rhetorical question. No, God isn't like a Bookie.

If you need it, isn't that commensurate with wanting it?

Have you ever come across any schizophrenic people in your Church? Ever witnessed any of them relapse into psychosis when they abandon the world's conventional medical methods for the spirit of God? (I'm sure some of you have) What do those Christian's recommend after their episode has been dealt with by the doctor's in authority? (Stay on your medication)

Well humans tend to want more then they need.

We are as God made us to be. His image and likeness.

 

[I.O.U]

Jesus made each of us as natural born sinners?

@Mantis It's indeed the difference between "Thy will be done" and "My wants be done"....

It takes about 95% luck and about 5% skill lol. I guess You could also consider it chance instead of luck but it sure seems like luck comes into play to get an elk. The average success rate on elk hunting here is an average hunter gets an elk every ten years. I seem to be much more “lucky” when I pray though.

@Mantis Reminds me of Mark Twain talking about writing; it's 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration...

@Mantis Such a lot of good quotes from Romans 8.....

Great to read the chapter all at once, as well...
