Finding atheism undefinably boring....

I finally became an avowed atheist as result of falling for a fallacy in logic as so many continue to do today as well. Every single person, it seems to me, base their unbelief on their experience in churches and their lack of a definition of God in the second place. Eventually I found atheism boring, predictable, and  constantly reactionary. After all how does one satisfy a negative? I found atheism fundamentally illogical. I always check the premise as well as the definition.

Issues more important than physics.........

...in my view are those abstract questions we have unseen hints of but no clear physical inert forces that are easily explained by  the unseen in physics and the seen of the physical.

Since emotion generates evidence we do have, I myself steer away from mentioning personalities since reference to one single person could embrace several different issues without any reference to the effort at hand.

It is tempting to bring an individual into discussion as an example illustrating a specific topic but very interesting participants can easily make the error assuming an example is somewhat of a proof. So there are pitfalls sliding us away from the abstractions at hand.

Best time to read....

....the Bible can be a problem for those interested in the transcendant. The morning is often mentioned, but I've not found myself very alert too early. But things lend themselves better when a regular schedule can be found. Time always enters the the picture in the end. Hopefully it will not be when I am out of the picture. I'll be stuck with myself then.

Will quotable quotes change?

I've noticed recently that many quotes all from the perspective of the past reflecting the importance of the individual. Maybe that is why I like them so much.

Churches can really try your faith....

I cannot think of a more important reason to attend churches other than to increase our faith. In my experience atheists stream out of churches from the age of fourteen.

Life like a dream.....

Long stories are sad, like a saga where time shows you changes that lose the "present" where true happiness has the only chance to survive.

Faith comes thru saying......

I take this cue from God who spake the world into existence. He said it and it was so. We have to believe things that are not as though they were. If one can relate to the existence of spirit they can understand the physical that is seen as coming from the unseen. All things seen came from the unseen. This places the physical world under time and it is subject to change, on it's appointed course. There are many spirits but only one Holy Spirit. More in God is Existence.

How you get faith...........

And, how do we get enough faith? Enough faith comes with success. This brings Billie Holiday into the mix as she is quoted as recalling someone's comment that we'll never know how much is enough until we have too much.

The ancient writers only indicate one way as far as I can determine.. Read and reread until  faith is within us.  Faith is unlimited and persists forever but not always believers..

A preacher once told me that if we pray for two men and only one is healed that God changed His mind. First the preacher quit believing under his own time restrictions and then blamed his own decision on God.  He changed his mind, God didn't. As always, more later.....

Speculations....

I am writing for understanding and clarification. I am figuring ideas out to see what I can come up with on the fly. It would not be the first time discoveries came from mistskes. This would be possible because God spoke through design.

Definiton of definimg, why?

I define everything for myself, tthat is my procedure. Let any others define for everyone but I'll do it for myself. Many haven't even defined God for themselves and that even in a debate.  I think it unprofitable to think too much about what is wrong. It can get tangled up too easily with what's right.  I think for myself.  Tkinking for anyone else would make me a reactionary. I think that , we might say.
