Without a security in those beliefs any expression contrary to those beliefs can be pretty traumatizing. This is the God you change your life to please (for some people) and then people are telling you that God isn't that way. Yikes!<BR/><BR/>Sirdar - I'm curious to know the contradictions you are referring to. I don't believe the Bible is always meant to be taken as fact, but rather as truth - principles about who God is.<BR/><BR/>Pete - Thanks for the tip about the book. I'll try to get my hands on it. Let me know what you think of the podcast.Zaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503666938286479556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383518.post-70406430047459532352007-02-16T20:37:00.000-07:002007-02-16T20:37:00.000-07:00Hey Zaak!

Interesting discussion, esp. the part about the existence of God, which in my opinion is what it all boils down to. I'll have to check out this podcast. Got an ipod for Xmas. Since our little whirlwind (Brenna, that is) came along, my opportunities to read have become greatly limited. But I've also wanted to read a book by Richard Dawkins called "The God Delusion". hmmm. too bad I can't find it in podcast form...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383518.post-1436703280231999272007-02-13T18:35:00.000-07:002007-02-13T18:35:00.000-07:00Well...being agnostic, something David called me o...Well...being agnostic, something David called me once, I can see where the guy stands on this. I have a hard time believing that God as he is presented...exists. I am sure you could point to many instances in the bible to show me that he does...and I could show you many instances in the bible to show that he may not. There is to me too much illogical happenings in the bible...too many contradictions...too many unanswered questions that nobody has the answers to or want to look at logically.<BR/><BR/>I respect that people believe in him but I just don't see it. I'm sure we could have some real interesting conversations on this. There may be a higher power...but what that power looks like....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383518.post-62287545969704429102007-02-13T18:09:00.000-07:002007-02-13T18:09:00.000-07:00I recently had the same God conversation with a ne...I recently had the same God conversation with a new acquaintance 2 weeks ago - a guy very much like Kris - very much raised SDA, now an agnostic. The conversation also held a relatively new convert to SDA, previously a mormon, for most part on the conservative side. Sad to say that we had her in tears near the end of the discussion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123498098171995405noreply@blogger.com
