There is no such thing as " true nature" ...there is only "nature". ....and that nature is not infinite, but finite.... Everything that is, was, or will be is bound by its own set of limitations....these limitations serve as a demarcation that set each thing off from that which it is not....infinity exists only as a theoretical concept in the minds of humans....it does not exist as a feature of reality itself....when people say that God is infinite they have enmeshed themselves in absurdities.... Do not seek the guidance of folks that believe such things....

You are deflecting. What did the dinosaurs do to deserve "misery, suffering, sorrow, pain and death?"

How do you know it's not the other way around? How do you know it's not space that defines physical objects? How do you know they are not independent of each other?

Of course there are gaps in science. We've only been at it for about 500 years. Meanwhile religion has been doing their thing for millennia.

As opposed to religion which is already full of rubbish.

Biggest problem with this thread is everyone goes up against the literal minded self appointed "master of ceremonies" here. If this thread were to end tomorrow what would boxcar do?.

As I have said most posters here are Christians or ex-Christians and most either disagree with box on specific Christian terms and beliefs, or are rebelling against their upbringing amd religion in general. Boxcar feeds on always being the most "authentic" Christian and fights anyone who is not in his view an authentic Christian or theist.

Instead of this discussion really moving beyond his rather narrow belief system, most of the time (not always), every one is challenged by boxie to defend themselves from his primitive uneducated religious, philosophical ans pseudo-scientific ramblings.

Under penalty of eternal damnation of course.

Instead of being tittle "Religions", this thread should be called "what does box think?"

The amount of time and energy spent fighting with him is boring and tiresome and from those of us who have been here from the start of this thread an endless loop of repeating topics.

The fault is entirely our own. When you meet a man who actually believes that God has authored a guidebook for mankind to follow, then it's best to leave this man alone...lest his condition be contagious.

Of course it is. But speaking as someone who used to spend hours going toe to toe with him, and someone who has argued against his many idiocies---too many to list---reading basically the same stuff as new posters realize just how bonkers box is, gets kinda repetitious. Obviously I can not expect them to review all 28,000 posts, but I have not seen anything really new for ages. And one of the main reasons I think is how Christian posters react to someone who claims to be the only "authentic" Christian here.

I think it is easier to ignore boxcar if one is a non-Christian, until of course he calls you out for your being anti-god, etc., etc.

I've explained this before, too. The universe's fundamental structure is Space, Matter and Time and no one of these components can exist apart from the other two. Think about it for a while.

You don't listen too swell. Again, the entire creation (i.e. the universe) is under God's curse due to the fall of mankind. This curse will only be lifted after Christ returns to judge the world and he creates everything anew.

If Jesus was a pantheist, prove it from scripture.

So the universe was under God's curse even before the fall of mankind? God cursed the universe because he knew mankind would fall?
