So your saying that there's some objective evidence but also subjective matter in your own religion? Do you know what's what.I suppose it depends on what "truth" we're talking about here.
There's a lot of debate about things such as Creation, The Flood and other biblical events or testimonies of things said.
And there's debate about how we should treat other people based on love and of course believing Christ since Christ's ministry taught love as the basis for which He preached.
The bible is the story of God's pursuit of the hearts of men and certain events occurred during that epic endeavor. Statements were made and event transpired.
Some will be objective and some will be subjective.
Can I prove to a person who doesn't believe I love my wife with massive amounts of evidence that I do? And what evidence do I present that the unbeliever would believe as evidence anyway? And how can I claim objectivity concerning matters of the heart?
Sorry rick,
Like evil spirits exist and possess people.
I'm having a good time hanging out with you rick, it's like for now this is our thread.
That's a new one to me, too.
This is true.I suppose it depends on what "truth" we're talking about here.

Ah yes I think I see what you mean there.
Thats why why I left religion behind, because I couldnt keep my mind free while believing that it was the only truth.
When I left the religion I suffered what you would call a detrimental moral gap and I thought I'd have to stay in my religion to close the gap. It was awful at first but I learned that some gaps are better open, but it takes time to get used to feeling the venerability of being open.

Yes as much as that is true for me in some way, I was on the same subject as you "Evil" and how to understand it and put it in the right perspective. After I left the religion I had no answer for evil to fill that gap. But I started to think how it could be resolved. Many times I returned to God out of fear of not having an answer, but finally after many years I accepted the gap, but that does not mean I stop learning about the problem of evil and accept that that gap is closed. I think it will always stay open, and that was very hard for me to accept at first. But I feel no urge to plug up the hole anymore.
Ok.
Thank you, but don't be so hard on yourself. I gained much inspiration from what you said. It was very insightful. You're hitting on some good truth. I don't function unless I get inspired by what other people post.
