So what angle would a radical Muslim view the US from?

It isnt an audible voice. It's hard to explain how i heard God. Pictures of words is prolly the best way 2 explain it. God has only spoken to me twice. First time i was singing a christian (Hillsong) song & the Holy Spirit said: "I need you to" & then 2nd time was when i needed help with something so i asked God for the help & he said: "I will".

That is not very convincing to someone who wants solid evidence.
 
Yea, how the hell can I argue with that? I mean damn. What if the pope says to them that they won't die if they jump off of a building because God will protect them?
 
wikipedia:
Q.E.D. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum" (literally, "which was to be demonstrated"). In simple terms, its use is to indicate that something has been definitively proven.

no according to swm, he can't ask, as matthew 6:33 says it will come when God wants to tell him, his god is only a one way communication apparently

Not sure. Never told me the rest. I guess if i want to know i'll have to do what Matthew 6:33 says.

that doesn't make any sense to me at all. surely "these things" referred to in 33 are the material things described in 32: food, drink, clothing.

in what sense is matthew 6:33 giving guidance on what god needs you to do?

please don't quote scripture at me. if you are able, please take a moment to think for yourself and draw a line between these two apparently unconnected ideas.

I do not know whether there is a god.. but IMO, those are all useless questions because if god exists in the traditional all powerfull, all knowing sense, then the anwser is simple, you wouldn't understand if god tried to explain it, so dont worry about any of that stuff, just trust that god knows what god is doing..the end.. it basically comes down to whether or not you want to believe.
 
^ while i agree with that in principle, i think the problem arises not with the concept of god but what (certain) christians then do in his name.

42Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your fathers desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
 
i guessed you missed the bit where i wrote: "please don't quote scripture at me. if you are able, please take a moment to think for yourself and draw a line between these two apparently unconnected ideas.".

the post was only three paragraphs long. it's the third paragraph...

:\

Shit, I WISH I had that man's ability to believe whatever a book arrogantly named the "Good News" told me. It would make morality a lot easier. I mean, why worry about what you feel comfortable doing as long as "God" told you it was right?


P.S. Being rewareded in the afterlife is teh weaksauce.

when scripture is quoted, i like to remind the quoter that even the devil can use scripture to suit his needs. i have said it ad nauseum on here, but it deserves to be repeated every damn time.

basically swm is trying to tell you that you do not understand what is being said because you do not carry the holy spirit.

It is a fine thing to establish one’s own religion in one’s heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.

Being promised pussy in the after life is even weaker. But if it was true and I was certain that I would get pussy in heaven I would definitely convert to Islam. I mean damn, what man would refuse 72 virgins?
