Lila15 I am not confusing faith with trust. Plenty of people who start their life in a faith walk with their creator read and know the scriptures where God asks them to know the fruits of his blessings to know that he is real. They’ve experience small miracles and large miracles as their life goes on. That can’t be explained by anything other than divine intervention. And that’s how trust is formed, that if one part of the Bible becomes edified. Then other parts even though you can’t use a Time Machine to clarify results, also edify themselves. When God proves himself to those that rely on him, granting anxious people peace that surpasses all understanding despite their situations being completely chaotic etc… Trust becomes built, because the supernatural has taken place in their life, and they were comforted in situations that would normally have been impossible to find comfort in. Trust was EARNED at that point. The leap of faith starts more at the beginning of that journey. So your entire perspective is skewed because you never with a sincere heart choose to even take a leap of faith.
Scientology is automatic hogwash. It was written as a sci-fi fantasy novel. But the author was having a conversation with one of his friends and told that friend he could convince people the book is real because people are stupid and easy to fool. And he did just that. We already know the origins of Scientology. So what’s the point in believing it when we can search the historic records of books where he published it as FICTION? You’re bad at making arguments. Scientology isn’t even a contender on what to believe vs. what not to believe as a religion. Anyone who gets fooled into believing it are just as the founder/author claimed them to be. Simpletons who are easy to fool.
All people have a choice. The moment you are told Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, for you to repent and turn your way from that sin, and to live a new life, with the plans God has in store for you for that life. It’s now your choice to make to either accept it, or disregard it. It’s a choice you make. Look up the definition of choice if your brain is so atrophied that you truly believe your own definition of choice somehow supercedes that of the original definition. You’re the one who’s confusing “Feelings” someone has towards something with the word “Choice” just because you have a feeling doesn’t mean tat implies automatic choice. You’re attempting to become more convoluted with “factors” and disingenuously claiming them as “Choice” your argument is thus: “Based on a persons ‘feelings’ they will never make that ‘CHOICE’ because their ‘feelings’ won’t allow them to.”
This is a blatant fallacy in argument. Feelings amount to variables and likelihoods of a final decision being made. But a choice is separate. You still either reject something or accept something at the end of the day. There are COUNTLESS TESTIMONIES of people who were atheists for years who had that “feeling” no longer become a factor when they finally changed their mind and changed their choice on what they believe.
The feelings you’re attempting to add to the argument and equation can only be factored as to the likelihood of rejection vs. acceptance by the choice. But it is not a “replacement” on what a choice comes down to by definition. The fact that you can’t even understand basic definitions and concepts simply validated my initial posts. And makes it pointless to read anything you have to say further. You’re either intentionally disingenuous, or you’re moronic and don’t understand what a “choice” is. People are making hundreds if not thousands of choices a day. Both on a subconscious and conscious level. Even routines, and bad habits are formulated through “choices” made long into the persons past. You need to fucking reeducate yourself if this is truly the dipshit perspective you believe.
