Reply to "Not a Sermon only a Thought"

In my humble opinion Cainsta, no one can really prove that God exists so when people say that it is a fact that God is this or God is that, they have to be on some strange hallucinations. I don't think that anything is wrong with people believing what they believe but they must understand that whatever they believe is no more than what they believe. No doubt people use their life experiences to assert their beliefs in God but there are others who may use the same experiences to have the opposite reaction. Take for instance, someone missed their flight and initially was upset about missing that flight. Then something happens and those on the flight perish. Chances are, the first reaction of the person missing the flight is "there is a God" suggesting that God saved them from that calamity, therefore insisting that God is good and loving or as Bro. Keith would say unconditional love. However, bro. Keith in his role as a preacher is going to run very far from explaining how that good God did not save those on the plane as He did that one person even though that person demonstrated terrible attitudes when first dealing with missing the flight. Preachers don't have the answer for that because whatever they say will jeopardize their church position and perhaps even its cash flows. President Obama downplayed the chances of Russian rigging last year's elections because he didn't want his actions or statements to influence the turnout. Politicians and preachers are two sides of the same pod. They care little for the truth.

I prefer to evaluate people's actions rather than their words because I am old enough to know that people can be very deceptive. I prefer to discuss the actual printed words than what people think they mean because there can be many takes on what people read. That is why o asked the brother to post the Qur'anic passage which he failed to do and through his failure he exposed his dishonesty. The bro may insist that I don't understand a passage but he cannot insist that I lied about it being in the book.

Anyone claiming to be religious but shows signs of dishonesty deserve being exposed.
