Questions thread

[LethalMouse]

Now we’re cookin’!

I LOVE these questions. Let’s start a new thread. You want to do it or should I?

“How do we know what evidence we’ll accept for religious authority claims?”

We dont until we do as humans lol
or

“If God knows what evidence people will accept, why doesn’t he provide it?”

As a human I like Mustafa from Austin Powers have a form of a 3 times rule

If you dont accept my truth after about 3 times I will engage in your percieved negative because forget you who doubts me
or

“How do we know if God has provided sufficient evidence for a religious belief?”

If God than it is what He says. Tough noogies on all else lol.
or

“If God knows certain people will never be saved/believe/attain holiness, why create them in the fist place?”

Several answers but if all else fails even if He just did for His own amusement, as much as that might not seem acceptable to us, it is His video game and He can do what He wants. TBH even if from a human perspectice God was “less moral” than we say, I wouldn’t care so long as He really is the creator of all things and Master of the universe etc… then it is His party and we are just along for the ride maybe it is odd but I am cool with it lol.

"How do religious believers know they actually believe in their religion and aren’t just deceiving themselves or mistaken about their true beliefs?

Believers and non believers. I think few have any clues who they really are. I like the theological idea of my gf. That before final judgement we are given a moment of clarity akin to angel knowledge where we can be solidly person number 3 and choose with full knowledge. Much as lucifer could be truly knowledgeable and choose to be bad I think there are plenty of human lucifers and a few athesits who may be in opposite. But only in that clarity will we know who we are.

There are so many interesting discussions to be had arising from your observations.
