Meet With God

'You know nothing. In fact, you know less than nothing. If you knew that you knew nothing, that would be something, but you don't.' -Ben Harp, Point BreakI think saying that you know you know nothing means that you are acknowledging that there is a great deal that you don't know, not that you literally know nothing.But I don't recognize your reference, so maybe I'm not supposed to actually answer any of this.Along these lines, unintentionally funny movie line?"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."-Obi Wan Kenobi, Revenge of the Sith

Wonder if anyone will get this"'We know that we know nothing,' they chatter, blanking out the fact that they are claiming knowledge -- 'There are no absolutes,' they chatter, blanking out the fact that they are uttering an absolute -- 'You cannot prove that you exist or that you're conscious,' they chatter, blanking out the fact that proof presupposes existence, consciousness and a complex chain of knowledge: the existence of something to know, or a consciousness able to know it, and of a knowledge that has learned to distinguish between such concepts as the proved and the unproved."

This is a good enough spot for this.Elton John speaks openly about mistakes...“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you’re as good as dead.”

Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.Arthur: Be quiet!Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

If you could meet with God for 15 minutes what would you say/do? Personally, I'd be jealous of him.
The person going here in the wrong direction. The topic is this and their discussion going in another direction. Well when I meet god I always pray to keep my family happy and always healthy nothing else.

When I meet God, I'm going to ask him a lot of Lost questions. Like, what is the sickness really, and why did the others want kids, and what is with Walt?

Well, if it was the O T God then He would likely die at my hand for using genocide on our ass in Noah's day.The innocent children and babies deserve that as justice.RegardsDL

This is a horrible answer on a number of levels.Can you start by explaining how exactly you plan on killing God? I mean, he's God. All-knowing, all-powerful, etc. and yet you think you can kill him?"Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck."Furthermore, "innocent" children and babies would go to heaven, which, if we're granting this hypothetical in the first place, I hear is a pretty sweet place. So they probably don't need your "justice."

Yeah, but the original question is equally atrocious. I'm not sure how one could come up with an answer that wasn't utterly ridiculous. "I'd say, 'Thanks, God,' and He'd reply, 'Aww, shucks, you're welcome.'"

Why not. Those who will not step up to their responsibilities and would profit from the murder of an innocent scapegoat Jesus already believe that God can die so I hope they are right. They hope so for an immoral reason and i hope so for a moral one.
"Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck."
No idea what you are talking of here.
Furthermore, "innocent" children and babies would go to heaven, which, if we're granting this hypothetical in the first place, I hear is a pretty sweet place. So they probably don't need your "justice."
Ignore your Bible then that says they were as corrupt as the adults.Ignore the fact that they should not have been murdered in the first place by your genocidal hero.Heil.
This is for those who think it moral to shift their responsibilities to Jesus and profit from the murder of an innocent man.Why have you forsaken me is answered here.Pro 21:3 To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Psa 49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: RegardsDL

It can be explained, and I'm pretty sure LLY found it funny for the same reason I did.Let's break it down:"If you could meet with God for 15 minutes what would you say/do?"This was the question."Personally, I'd be jealous of him."This was the answer. If this dude were to meet God for 15 minutes what he would say and do is "be jealous."He would neglect to even ask a question. He wouldn't ask any questions of God. Not a single question. In point of fact he doesn't even intimate he would speak to God at all. Not in statement, question... any audible sounds at all. Nor by gesture. No form of communication. And what he would do during his 15 minute face to face with the High Lord Creator of all things? He would exist. Jealously. That's what he would do. He would be -- he would reside in being. Jealous. He would perform no other action. He would not prostrate, or cry, or laugh, or wave, or sigh, or shake his head or pace or dance or shake his fists. He wouldn't chew his finger nails. He would be. Upon seeing God he would not be awed or frightened or comforted or confused or aghast or prone to philosophical turmoil or enlightenment. He would be jealous. He would stand there. For 15 minutes. Jealous. Linguistically, conceptually, or taken literally it is hilarious. And awesome. gawd.jpg
"He would stand there. For 15 minutes. Jealous." I would ask him to be my partner in a drinking contest. If he said no I would just stand there. For 14 minutes and 45 seconds. Annoyed.

I came to this thread to make another mspaint, but was distracted when I noticed:

When I said previously:
Oh, we're actually answering?I would say, "You've made a mistake." Then kill it.
it went unchallenged.Which is hilarious because my megalomania sees it in the "hey, stupid-ass poorly spoken internet troll, how do you plan on killing god?" and "Spademan kill god? Maybe, I guess" kind of way.
