Like right wingers that still cling to a ridiculous belief that Obama destroyed our economy?

Five minutes of historical facts and numbers fix that for anyone using an open mind that can accept new facts over their embedded rhetorical beliefs.

Obama took over a destroyed economy, and had turned it to a solid stability when Trump took office.

Otherwise it's time to let this topic go! So . . . you have the floor and we all await to read your supportive information that justifies your original comment!!!

What makes you think that a Supreme Intelligence that creates the entire universe wouldn't care about that creation?

And even more to the point . . . what makes you think that this God wouldn't care enough about (His) creation to make sure that (His) message and revelation of (Himself) would not be done with clarity?

I've said it before . . . this entire thing we call existence is all about God restoring a relationship between God and His creation! The first few chapters of Genesis reveals creation of all we perceive and mankind . . . mankind's fall from the relationship with God . . . and the entire rest of the Bible is all about God restoring that broken relationship! It is all about RELATIONSHIP!!!


"...I think any attempt to ascribe human like attributes a Being of this nature is an exercise in futility..."

You have it backwards according to the Bible! God created us with His attributes . . . not the other way around!


"...Suppose that this "Being" is not supernatural at all but simply an as yet not understood part of the natural order of things? What if survival of consciousness after physical death is simply a natural phenomenon rather than a religious one?..."

"Suppose" and "what if's" are just that . . . grasping at clouds and trying to hold water in your hands! One can speak on them until their blue in the face and get absolutely nowhere!


"...There are lots of things we understand imperfectly or not at all. One thing remains consistent about human scientific achievement; whenever we think we have reached some sort of pinnacle, sooner or later we are proven wrong..."

Science is a tool . . . trying to prove God scientifically can be futile. Although there has been a concept of Intelligent Design proposed by some, one can conclude there is a God by observing all of creation and answering the hard questions on their own.

There are numerous scientists that believe in God . . .
Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543),
Francis Bacon (1561-1627),
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642),
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630),
William Harvey (1578 –1657),
Rene Descartes (1596-1650),
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662),
Isaac Newton (1642-1727),
Gottfried Leibniz (1646 –1716),
Robert Boyle (1791-1867),
Michael Faraday (1791-1867),
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895),
Gregor Mendel (1822-1884),
William Thomson Kelvin (1824-1907),
James Clerk Maxwell (1831 –1879),
Ernst Haeckel (1834 –1919),
Max Planck (1858-1947),
Robert A. Millikan (1868 – 1953),
Guglielmo Marconi (1874 –1937),
Albert Einstein (1879-1955),
Erwin Schrödinger (1887 –1961),
Arthur Compton (1892 – 1962),
Werner Heisenberg (1901 – 1976),
John Eccles (1903 – 1997),
Francis Collins (Born 1950) . . . . . to name a few!

This topic is not a topic that has been well thought out . . . it's just a typical slam on the right from an obvious lunny left!!!

From your perspective, I suppose you did, but not from mine.

I'll rephrase; why can't believers understand that belief cannot be proven nor successfully challenged. By the way, I place atheists among believers. It all comes down to 'my belief can beat up your belief'.

If you believe in a creator God or if you believe there is no God at all; isn't that belief enough? If it is not, that doesn't say much for belief.


Okay! My point in what I was trying to say is this:

Once one comes to the point of believing in God, one of two things follows . . . either one will leave it at that or one will seek a deeper understanding of God.

The inquisitive one, seeking a deeper understanding, will search out the writings about God. They may settle on believing by faith alone. But some have an experience that can't be proven because it is something that only happened to them alone.

As I said before, it is relationship that is most desired . . . by even most humans . . . and it is the same with God in my opinion. But there are those that seek for justification of their beliefs in order to share the t***h they have found. It is not that they need more in order to believe . . . it is that they seek information that can be shared with those they are sharing their faith with. Apologetics is a term that describes what Christians do when they are sharing their faith with others. It gives reasons to believe or the reasons they believe.

But none of this is relevant to those who just believe there is a God and leave it at that. So why do they need more?!? Perhaps more is needed in order to share what they believe in!

...just my opinion.

...JW, please give us some background as to why you have posted this question/topic. Do you believe in a "creator God"? Have you been asking this question to yourself? Do you believe there is a God and thus are you searching for more? I am agnostic. I don't know if there is a creator God or not. I constantly see believers attempting to lean on science to prove there is a creator and when science supports them, it's, 'See, THERE!'. When science doesn't suit their particular beliefs, then it's, 'Science is not the answer'; science can't this or science can't that...

If they believe in a creator God, they are functioning on faith. Surely the world around them feeds that faith. They already claim to believe in things that cannot be proven or disproved. Why do they not simply accept the evidence of their eyes. They already claim to accept the evidence of their hearts.

I have no objection to thinking with wh**ever part of the body seems appropriate to anyone's individual needs.

I take great exception to their reaction to those who choose to think with their brains.


It is my belief that, if God exists, God would care about that which was created. God would have reason for creating and thus care about what was created. This would lead one to wonder are there examples of God showing this caring. That really is the fundamental question, what is the evidence that the creator cares about His creation. I look about myself and see no such evidence whatsoever. However, if I was a believer, there is so much in the world to show caring from the perspective of belief... at least from a human's point of view. It's really good for the ego to 'know' that we are images of God, Himself, and the masters of a whole world He made just for us.

The documentation passed down to us found in what we call the Bible declares the concern God has for mankind! It declares that God desires a personal relationship with the creation, especially mankind . . . and has been seeking that relationship throughout the lives of every single person that has existed. Just as it makes no sense that a believer should turn to science to support that belief, it makes no sense for me to turn to any ancient outcome motivated writing to seek my answers.

"Why do you need more?" is the ending question of this topic. I would propose that it is not so much that we need more . . . . but that is God that wants more . . . God wants to restore the kind of relationship that was there when Adam and Eve walked with God in the Garden of Eden. Why do we need more?!? It is because just believing there is a God is inadequate . . . there needs to be a relationship! To me, that comes across like an admonition to not forget our invisible childhood friends.

If I was to turn to the Bible, it would be to 1st Cor. 13:11; When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For me, religion was very much a thing of childhood.

After looking at the initial topic, I've come to conclude that there is more to this question than meets the eye.

Robert Mueller in his investigation violated the following laws:

The United States Constitution:

4th amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

5th amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the M*****a, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

6th amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, byan impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

14th amendment, Section 1:
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Up until today, I supported the Mueller Report having only one problem with it. The problem I have with it was the fact that Mueller spoke about exoneration. Based upon the Steele dossier. Now in the FISA court they used the Steele dossier where a few days earlier the British intelligence warned the FBI, CIA, and previous administration that the Steele dossier was false. Like in the case of Rodney King in the early nineties, if the investigators do not properly do their job, the accused is exonerated of would be charges.

Now, I am very disappointed in the Democrats. Go back and examine the facts. Robert Mueller's report, speaks that "there is insufficient evidence to prove the president conspired with the Russians, and there is insufficient evidence that the president has obstructed Justice"

Bob Mueller then writes in his report, "we cannot exonerate the president on the charge of obstruction."

This statement violates the amendments above. It is a failure of due process, and a failure of presuming the accused, in this case the president, to be innocent.

Bob Mueller also failed, in the fact that he is using a policy of the justice department cannot charge a sitting president.

Now, we must look at the rights of the prosecution. The prosecution can and must hold our leaders responsible for their actions if they are criminal. It is the job of the Special Counsel to hold the president responsible if there is evidence of a crime. In the 2016 e******n there was a crime committed, that is conspiracy to defraud the American People and influence the e******n. Special Counsel did find evidence and charged the people responsible.

Now on the case of obstruction. The Mueller report explains that there is no evidence on obstruction. Bob Mueller then refers to Congress. Mueller sends the report to the Attorney General, the deputy attorney general and the attorney general both conclude, No Collusion, No obstruction. Then Mueller appeals to Congress. Here we go.

Congress, according to the Article 1 powers, has the power to bring charges against the president. This process is called "Impeachment". To exercise this power, the House of Representatives have to charge the president of a crime. All those who lived through the Nixon and Clinton Impeachment trials know this to be true. However, a smart prosecutor, in this case the House of Representatives, must present compelling evidence to the judge, which in this case will be the Senate.

In the case of collusion, Robert Mueller contends that the president is not guilty. In the case of obstruction, Robert Mueller contends there is not enough evidence to prove obstruction.

In addition to the Mueller Report, there was also the Senate investigations and House investigations which all concluded that there is no collusion or obstruction.

George Papadopoulos, contends that the FBI, CIA, state department officials, the UK and Australian intelligence, colluded together for the purpose of preventing any candidate from winning the e******n, save just one Hillary Clinton.

Robert Mueller did not need to speak today. He should not have. But since he did, he violated the above amendments. My fellow Americans, you must keep and protect, the "the accused is innocent until proven guilty". Bob Mueller said that. Therefore, Bob, the president is innocent until the prosecution proves his guilt. Three investigations proved no evidence that the President interfered with the e******n. So who did?

Is George Papadopoulos correct? What if George is correct? So the Dems impeach the president, the president is acquitted and exonerated by the Senate, then what?

William Barr, the attorney general opened an investigation on the investigators. This was the right thing to do. Should the House v**e for impeachment of the president, then this information on the investigators will clearly exonerate the president. However, it does not stop there. If it is found that George Papadopoulos is correct, and the Democrats, the Obama administration, the FBI, CIA, and other foreign intelligence agencies conspired against the President, then it will come out in the Impeachment hearings which could possibly go on for two more years.

As a result, that will be the end of FDR's Democrat party. And here is why, for two years the Democrats have been complaining that the president is guilty, if the evidence exonerates him and shows that the Democrats committed treason, this will propel us back to 1865 when Lincoln was assassinated. When 28 people hung for the murder of Lincoln and when Johnson was impeached.

If it is found that the Obama administration used their power to prevent Trump or any candidate other than Hillary Clinton, to become president, that crime is a crime of treason.

This crime of treason is punishable by death. Agree or disagree with me, but the writing is on the wall, if Trump is impeached, then many people on the left will hang.

But there is a deeper issue here. That issue is the failure of the Government to do their job, that is protect the accused for a fair trial. Failure to obey due process of law. Failure to presume innocence of the accused. This is why the crime committed here, not by Trump but by his opponents should be called what it is. Treason.

If Trump is not impeached, then a few years investigation by Barr will be longer and eventually, Barr will get to the bottom of the crimes committed but not in the near future. If Trump is impeached, then two lines will be drawn: One side will want the recall of the President. The other side would want an accounting of the President's accusers.

This is why Nancy Pelosi is d**gging her feet at the door of impeachment.

And since God is all knowing and all powerful with the ability to prophesize wouldn't that mean he can see into the future so would know if a baby was to be born with a hole in its heart before it was even born?

Incorrect! God DID NOT "create life and all the ailments that take life"! All these things you reference are a consequence of sin! Adam and Eve were created with immortality . . . they were never going to die. When they disobeyed God one commandment, their act brought death upon all of creation . . . and because the devil was the instigator of their deeds, the devil is at fault the most. In effect, the devil brought all the woes of life upon creation!

This is not a slam on users of OPP, but a simple observation! I ask those that leave comments (...and I need to do this too...) please try to stay on topic and help enlighten us all with insight on the main topic.

Throughout history, mankind has fought for many reasons. For land . . . for honor . . . for p***e . . . to protect their loved ones . . . or to just prove they are the better fighter!

But what is a truly worth while cause for fighting?

Today we see fighting breaking out for the supposed cause of shutting down f*****m . . . by a group that declares themselves as anti-f*****m . . . they even call themselves "A****a"! Yet there methods of fighting f*****m is done by using the very techniques or methods f*****ts use . . . they use any means necessary to silence or censor dissenting speech! This is an unworthy cause, in my opinion, and deserves to be fought against! For A****a seeks to take away our freedom . . . our Constitutional right to free speech!!!

Why is certain local, city governments allowing for these kinds of actions to continue? In doing nothing to shut down these types of groups, these governments are condoning these f*****t actions done by A****a!!!


So, what cause is worth fighting for?

We have a federal government that is first and foremost suppose to protect the country from foreign invasions. We fight to protect what is our homeland! A truly worth while reason!


But what about fighting to protect your specific home . . . to protect your family . . . to protect your property, your very life? Surely these are worth while causes to fight!?! And in so doing, is not insuring our borders are firmly protected from outside intrusion part of protecting our homes and families?!?

What about fighting to protect our jobs? Is that a worth while reason to fight?


And then there is . . . how one fights! One may fight with words! One may fight using the law! One may fight with their bare hands . . . or with a lawfully owned hand-gun!

Or is there really no good reason to fight . . . for what one believes in?!?
