Rocky john replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'"Even if the multiverse theory is true and there are infinite multiverses it does not neccesary mean everything must happen somewhere. An example is if you start at 0 and count upwards in 2's you will have an infinite series that…"

Rocky john replied to Emily DW's discussion 'What's Your Best Argument For God?'"As far as i am concerned religion has only had one internally consistent and some what convincing argument for belief in god.

Rocky john replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"Mercedes you keep on bringing up the bible as proof of god ,so i think it would surprise you to learn that a fair number of the atheists here ,myself included, only became atheists after reading the whole bible through. Personaly i actually find the…"
Rocky john replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"You seem so stuck on the bible. What about the tens of dozens of other holy books, some much older than the bible and most which are alot more internally consistent. Do they prove that that vishnu ,krishna, allah and the tao exist?"

Rocky john replied to Sarah's discussion 'Coming to terms with reality'"Life generaly sucks, once you learn to accept that and stop worrying about it you will likely find more enjoyment from life than wishing it was otherwise .

Rocky john replied to Unseen's discussion 'Is justice just a matter of chance?'"Just because something is lawful within a justice system and happens with due process does not mean it is right.

Rocky john replied to Unseen's discussion 'Is justice just a matter of chance?'"Well i am relatively certain that if they where giving the choice between life in prison and death most will choose prison.so atleast from their subjective opinion execution will most often be worse.

- Well at about the age of 15 or so i had a few minor questions regarding my religion and the priests could not answer them to my satisfaction. so i decided to sit dow and read the bible to see gods own word for myself.

Posted on August 3, 2011 at 2:53pm 6 Comments 3 Likes
Yesterday while browsing the net i came across a picture which left me almost speechless and in a state of awe.

I have tried time and again to explain the sheer magnitude of what it represents, with little luck. I have what most would consider a 'spiritual' experience when I sit and think about what that picture represents. Thank you for sharing it; I haven't looked at it in awhile. :)
