I think I am suppose to keep trying. Stay still..................[:D]..........let me know when you figure it out. Marc2b did liken the thread to an acid trip I recall and there is foundation for this because it is my understanding that this is in a sense what Saint Augustine observed and part of my interest in his work. I understand Saint Augustine referred to it as the hall of mirrors. Buddhists I believe also speak of mirrors. Yes I have figured it out.

Drugs lie. God does not. You have to work for it and there is no hang over, quite the opposite. Oh and its real, not delusional.

What you did not realize fully was that humanism though it shares some common ground with Christianity is ungodly. You were very much under the spell of humanism.

When you get a chance, can you explain the hall of mirrors? I am not getting it.

quote: ORIGINAL: chatterbox24 When you get a chance, can you explain the hall of mirrors? I am not getting it. One way to put it I suppose is that God has many faces. For example, God can be pleasant, but can also be a disciplinarian which is not so pleasant. If you think of God as only having a single face, you would be inclined to believe that God in the role of a disciplinarian is the devil, but this is not the case.

Trying to understand God is similar in some respects to trying to understand quantum mechanics. I will provide you with an example which concerns Padre Pio. quote: http://www.ewtn.com/padrepio/mystic/bilocation.htm The phenomenon of bilocation is one of the most remarkable gifts attributed to Padre Pio. ...

Yet another example is what happens if you try to figure out if God is a liberal or a conservative.

The notion that morality only descends from God is more than a little offensive.
