You Don't Know God -- How Sad
-
All of you on CP have interacted with me in some way or another, so you all have a claim to knowing God.

I rang up Tibet for some spiritual advice, and 45 mins later had a large ungulate delivered to my door. I misread the number and had rang up 'Dial a Llama'. (Very Sorry for that one)

Llamas are the big thing around here so maybe you will start a trend. :) (yes I know it was a joke but I had to comment)

I bought my wife a large ungulate for he birthday last week. A llama? Yeah, scared her shitless.

Wow, I'm sorry that Joe is so biased against God. If he actually knew God this conversation would have been TOTALLY different. So sad. :(
I decided to stay out of that discussion because it was going nowhere fast (I'm not the Joe referred to by the above quote). Curious though... what do you think it means to "know God"? To add some context, the Facebook status that started the never ending replies was "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God quite literally IS love." That seems kind of meaningless to me, but I'm not religious by any measure. Maybe some of you have an interesting perspective. Hopefully we can keep this civil. ;)

What, like I know my neighbour or my wife? I just love that believers spew out a never ending smorgasbord of meaningless platitudes as if that'll convert me to their fantasy or as if, somehow, you can only love if you believe in the sky pixie. Don't know what happened to Stan but he believed that if you were an atheist you were, by definition, amoral.

Absolutely nothing, it a bullshit statement by nit wits who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. I believe in spirituality. I don't believe you can "know" your spirituality, let a lone "God". I do not believe for one second that their is God or any true spirituality in any church, synagogue, or mosque. Rather this is something that you feel alone and in your own way.

reminds me of an old joke. I'll attempt to get it right. Old man shows up for Sunday service at an upscale church wearing ratty old clothes and unshaven. As he sat down people looked at him disapprovingly and tried not to sit to close. After the services were over, the pastor caught the old man as he was leaving to have a talk. "listen fella" the pastor said, " I think you should go ask God what the proper dress code for church is before you come back". The old man agreed and left. The next week the old man showed up again in ratty cloths, still hasn't shaved. The pastor took him aside and said" Did you ask God what I told you too?" The old man said " yes I did. I asked God what the proper attire was for your church and He replied that He had no Idea, He had never been present here."...............

I thought the man was going to reply: "I tried to ask him, but he said, 'Son, how many times do I have to tell you to knock when I'm with your mother?!?'"

Makes me wonder where hate fits in there. Presumably God created it. If not then it limits God. But if God did create it then seems that one could know God via hate just as well. Certainly seems like some people chose that avenue.

Yeah, because if God is literally love, then the phrase could just as easily go, "Whoever does not love does not know love" which I suppose is true?
