Sure, there’s also one God of Isaac

I feel like YouTube is deliberately making us glued to our subscription fee to see who’s going live

I mean, not the god of Ishmael

@βρεττς YouTube is a behavioural addiction. If we are here chitchatting about nothing in particular, we do not understand what the government is up to.
12:22 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
@βρεττς So you think there is more than one Abrahamic God?
12:23 PM

Nope but I don’t want to junk up Chris’s comments with us
12:23 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
@βρεττς Chris doesn't mind. There's nothing going on here anyway.

It’s forcing Chris to read through our crap to get something meaningful to bring up
12:24 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
@βρεττς What could be more meaningful than theology to people who believe in God?
12:25 PM
@βρεττς

Time and place
12:25 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
@βρεττς When would be the time? Where would be the place?

Ron offshoring the prayer request.

@βρεττς Are you calling me unbalanced? It's just the two of us.

Lean more towards casual talk from time to time in what people are discussing on screen would be balanced
12:27 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
Analysis, diagnosis and prognosis is better than prayer chains.

Luxury beliefs was definitely in dinner with Andre

@βρεττς

Probably depends on whether he was asked to be taken to dinner or let’s do dinner
12:40 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
Economy beliefs are easy to believe. Luxury beliefs are hard to believe.

They’re sitting at a nice restaurant pontificating about worldly things in a safe country. So I would have to say very Greek.
12:40 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
Beliefs imposed by religion are designed to make the believer feel safe and good.
12:41 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
The basic belief for all societies is marriage and family values if you want to keep your group in existence and apart from others.
12:42 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
All the five world religions are designed to protect its adherents from pessimism and fear of suffering and injustice.
12:43 PM

A godless society is a declining society.

Religion is a mode of control to keep people in line to make police work much easier than it would be otherwise. - paraphrase from Lewis’ A Pilgrim’s Regress

I prefer Pilgrim’s progress
12:44 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
How do you know if your society is a godless society?
12:44 PM
@shoulderserf
Tune in to my Pilgrim’s Regress series to find out 😉

No luxury beliefs are having the luxury to believe nonsense and discuss it completely disconnected from it and from your position
12:48 PM
@βρεττς
#1
I don’t see that as luxury beliefs at all
12:49 PM
@βρεττς

Exactly. Proving once again, God is the decider.

Pray for that if you’re sincere

In church, Theology is set. In specific churches. So no need to discuss it. In politics, most churches are policy driven not candidate driven.

The point of an open mind is to eventually close it around the truth
1:02 PM
@βρεττς

Otherwise, what’s the point?

Open open open

Being here to glorify God and know God is the highest. And “obeying “comes from the desire, sincerely out of love. Not a requirement.
