Shadowhawk is a fairly interesting choice of name.....even by comic book standards the backstory of the character is paranoid.....and has had several reincarnations to fight evil in various vicious guises....which reincarnation are you?

Before a father leaves for his longest business trip yet, he encourages his son and daughter to remember, "Even when I'm not here, God is always with you." After he leaves, the boy and his sister spend a fun-filled day and star-filled night remembering everything their father told them about their heavenly Father: He is powerful, loving, everywhere, all-knowing, perfect, merciful, unchanging, creator, and a Father who wants to be known, talked to, obeyed, and worshipped.

Why does a perfect being want to be obeyed and worshipped? Why does god need eternal praise?

I can see how that picture might make some people think badly of God... that really is awful isn't it?

God and truth are not the same things they're aspects of the same higher dimension, he's like a major exploiting his current divine emperor status
see full metal alchemist brotherhood, for details on FATHER.

In order to maintain his power over this domain he must sacrifice humans to contain the power of the full truth within him, the moment he stops doing this is the moment he loses the power of godhood and ends up crucified amongst men as they were able to halt the cycle of feeding necessary to keep him from breaking down.

As all he cares about is the truth and nothing but the truth he shall seek worlds and devour them because he is an elemental balance of the equation of existence, a thing beyond good and evil and necessary to avoid the collapse of the system.

Interesting.  I noticed your videos but only watched a couple of them.  The videos seem to have influenced you and your beliefs greatly.  Are they the basis of your belief in God?  What does that make the video maker?  Thanks :)

Either stay on topic or i am going to make a complaint.  It is obvious you are harassing the subject.  Anyone can see what you are doing by looking at your posts..  Some people are interested in the topic without your endless bigotry.  I like open debate but this is not debate.

I've been around Imminst for a while and been a member for a couple of years but the only threads where I've ever seen such massive flaming and grotesquely intemperate fury is in your posts Shadowhawk. That's the reason people are "picking" on you. You don't answer people's real points so they satirise you and provoke you for a laugh. This may well be troll-like behaviour but it is understandable in the circumstances you create.

While you have discretion in deciding what constitutes appropriate discussion, I suggest using this ability with tact and restraint. Heavy moderation will reduce the likelihood that users will participate in your thread. ;)

    Unapprove will hide the post from view of users. This can also be useful for 'reserving' posts at the top of the thread for later use.
    Delete will remove the post from active status: in the next dialog box, clicking Remove will allow the post to be toggled and restored by moderators, while Delete will remove it irreversibly. Using Remove, and typing a brief reason for deletion, is generally better practice.

Logical Fallacy, this is  about behavior here in Longecity.  Instead you attack religion and other peoples views of God.  Also again off topic.  What Do You Think God is Like?

its amazing how just cos a thread is talking about God it attracts atheist haters like moths to a flame! lol!

now getting back on topic... i think that our ability to truly know what God is like is limited by our corporeal form, but once the soul leaves the contrains of the corporeal form we find that we truly know God and wonder how we could have ever not done so...

It is believed and evidence suggests the maximum speed of gravity is C same as light, simultaneity or the present is relative for some it is the past for others the present and for others the future

Yet we view events in the past as set in stone and unchanging and those in the future as gaps yet to be filled.  

We can say that whatever man writes contradicting the cold laws of reality, will have some explaining to do if it is to connect as it must with the underlying reality of the universe.

I think there is a fair bit of hypocrisy in this thread. The entire sub forum is to do with 'Spirituality and Religion' and this whole thread is designed for theist inputs. Why are so many hardcore theist hating atheists giving their 2cents worth and flaming the thread starter about his views.

I haven't been exploring these subforums very long so have no idea of shadowhawks history here, but if you honestly dont like religion, and dont like what shadowhawk has to say, then why are you here? Especially in a thread that was asking for theists to contribute. You dont like it if (or when) he posts religious topics in other forum sections, well I would have though that this thread is one where atheist views are not welcome (or needed). There are other threads where you can discuss atheism to your hearts content.

If there was a separate subforum for atheism or one of you atheists started a thread asking for views on atheism, you wouldn't like religious zealots barging in with their propaganda. So maybe you need to think how it makes you look when the roles are reversed.

I say let shadowhawk have his view and his threads. It's an entitlement we all allowed to have. If this guy pisses you off so much and you disagree with everything he says, then why bother participating on his friends? Either it's hypocrisy or you find the whole sagas entertaining and your anger is just a keyboard warrior show).

As for shadowhawk, I respect your right to religion and the freedom you have to preach, but one thing I do agree with others here is that simply posting a link without your own personal insight, does not entice me to click on the link. Pushing religion on people who dont want anything to do with it impacts negatively on your own religion and arguing about it indeed is not encouraged even by your own faith.

PEACE PEOPLE :) Extremism in either direction is never healthy
