Politicians reflect. They are the shape of things to come.

You trust in the world too much.

This provoked me.
Reality. Tens of thousands of religions. We are not privy to t***h.
This is it. No rapture. Fairytale.

You don't know what you believe. You're doube-minded.

Since I did respond I will reply. Let me assure you that I am very sure of what I believe.

Sucks that you can not comprehend a belief that we do not know.

We are but ants in a universe we can not comprehend.

I believe we are connected. You do not.

Yes I keep wondering what Carlin's take would be on our politics from 2016-2020? What would his view be of The Donald and his following.

He would be appalled.

Humans are made in God's image. The rest of creation is not.

I can get a good idea of who God is by what the Bible tells me but it also says that God's thoughts are not my thoughts, Nor are His ways my ways.

We are connected in that humans have d******n over and should be good stewards of God's creation but we are not connected with it as in being equals.

You sound New Age to me... and you're still double-minded.

BTW... how can you believe in something you can't comprehend?

Your opinion is not reality.

No matter how much you deny it yes we are privy to t***h - Jesus Christ.

Few things in the ten of thousands of years of humans existence on Earth have proven to be absolutely.

Believe’s rank low in the ever changing understanding of what we know.

Faith is a drug.

Parky60 Loc: People's Republic of Illinois

What are those "few things" you mention?

Rose42

As I said - your opinion is not reality. You just make things up

Believers understand far more than you know.

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Believers ‘know’. That is the problem.

OK, what do you believe?

There can be a big difference between knowledge and belief.

Knowledge is the understanding and awareness of information gained through experience, education, observation, or research. It is a justified, true belief that is acquired through a process of learning and verification. Knowledge is objective and verifiable, and it is based on evidence and facts. It is a systematic and logical understanding of the world around us that can be communicated and shared with others.

Belief is the acceptance of something as true or real without necessarily having evidence or proof. It is a subjective and personal conviction that can be influenced by factors such as culture, upbringing, religion, or personal experience. Beliefs can be based on incomplete or inaccurate information, and they may not be supported by evidence or facts. Beliefs can be deeply held and emotionally charged, and they can shape a person’s worldview and behavior.

Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of t***h; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the t***h—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of t***h about themselves (cf. Ex 33:18; Ps 27:8-9; 63:2-3; Jn 14:8; 1 Jn 3:2). Pope John Paul II

From scientific and religious perspectives, we have a pretty good idea what our universe is all about.
With the ability to observe our universe and make reasoned studies of what we observe, how could humans possibly be "ants in a universe we can not comprehend"?

Of course we are all connected. How could we not be?
