Yes it is amazing that there were no deaths.The city has a new fault line now.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/05/world/main6837923.shtml

I should add.When God said to man to not eat of that certain tree, please explain why man ate from that tree.Is the Devil stronger than God that his influence was stronger than God's influence.How do you explain it?

Quote (gollamudi @ Sep. 10 2010,18:17)MOST PEOPLE say that they believe in “free will.” Do you have any idea what that means? I believe that you will find a great deal of superstition on this subject. The will is saluted as the grand power of the human soul which is completely free to direct our lives. But from what is it free? And what is its pow…[Read more]

Gol.I see you are still choosing freely to post in this topic.Ironic isn't it.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 08 2010,21:40)You have a particular talent for platitude by analogy t8.Make that 1053.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 08 2010,21:31)Do you feel better admitting they are platitudes, t8?  There is no question that they are.  I can't remember the last time you actually explained something using the kind of cause and effect argument that you are always demanding others give.StuartStu, I am talking to you on your level.When you can demonstrate and o…[Read more]

The answer is the same if you try to photograph God. He made the universe and he can exist in all it's dimensions by his spirit. Spirit is also invisible.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 08 2010,21:25)t8Quote If you use finite instruments you get finite results.What does that mean?I will make it simple for you.Photograph 3 apples.Now photograph all the apples in the world in one photo.When you have done that, come back and we can talk about how we might be able to photograph an eternal God using a 35mm camera.Good luck.

Stu, I don't know why you keep coming here. After all, according to you, you only get pointless platitudes. Do you have an affinity for pointless platitudes?

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 08 2010,21:15)I don't see why I shouldn't ask for a photograph!  Can you explain convincingly why that would not be a reasonable request, without giving the kind of pointless platitudes that t8 gave?StuartYou shouldn't ask if you claim to be agnostic.

Google images. Probably photo-shopped, but don't know.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 08 2010,19:42)How petulant and small-minded would you have to be to take that sort of revenge just because someone ignored your paranoid orders?You could be explaining yourself here.

If you had a photo of God it would be fake.You cannot photograph an eternal spirit.We can't even photograph all the atoms in the human race, never mind a spirit that can exist in all things and even beyond that.

Hey nice post JA.After reading the marquee, it made the rest of the text look like it was going the other way.All about perspective isn't it.And God's perspective is the only true perspective.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 07 2010,16:52)You mentioned this god thing, so you decided it was important.
