I suppose if a True Believer™ promulgated the virtues of personal responsibility, making something of your life while it lasts , and learning from your mistakes, because life is too short to repeat them, you'd be saying "Hear hear!".
But because a Filthy Infidel™ says it, that makes it less than worthless...:doh:
Because I have explained in the post that you didn't understand why I am very cautious when it comes to truth. We humans have a deliberate intention to deceive ourselves merely because we want something to be true.
To make sure we are not fooling ourselves, I try to use objective evidence as much as possible. All other "evidence" is very subjective in nature, and as such the "evidence" you see could very well exist only in your mind .
Reason can lead you whereever you want, given the right starting assumptions. Scripture is the subjective account of ignorant people not knowing what they are watching. You still haven't explained what "Natural Law" you are referring to, since I happen to know a lot. I doubt you are referring to the Schrodinger Equation, though.
And finally, we get to science. And science disproves the Global Flood rather thoroughly.
So are all the others, only not to you. They are, however, compelling for respectively Muslims, Hindu's, Buddhists and some nutcases. Now, which of those (if any) are different from Christians?
shima,
Your words sound an awful lot like this:
If I raise my hands just lift the shade
Will I reveal a sky heavy and gray?
Will last night be a memory sweetly fading?
How I hate a morning starting out this way
On these lonely raging mornings I would whip you if I could
But You're on the mighty side of strong and the perfect side of good
If I raise my hands will you grab me by the wrists
And will you try to pull me from the fray?
And even if my fingers join together into fists
Will you hold me firmly anyway?
'Cause I would try to escape you but for everyday I'm sure
That You're on the huge side of big and the holy side of pure
Ok, hear what I say
As I raise my hands and surrender today
Ok, here I will stay
Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way
If I raise my hands so weak and thin and frail
Will you reveal the light of mercy in your eyes?
If I cry to you faintly will my feeble whispers fail
Or will it find its way to a reply?
'Cause now that I'm exhausted I think I'm ready to admit
That I've spent all my resistance on someone I can't resist
Ok, hear what I say
As I raise my hands, in surrender today
Ok, here I will stay
Hands in the air singing have Thine own way
Light from my window sill make my way to the door
I hang my head and still I know you're wanting more
Over the threshold now I move across the yard
Although my will allows my every step is hard
Now in the garden I carve out six feet of space
There make my will comply lie down upon my face
Been toe to toe to long I'm tired of fighting You
I see You were too strong, 'cause I am black and blue
But now I understand that losers due to win
How every dying man is sure to rise again
So I rasie my left hand one I raise my right hand two
Under the morning sun, my spirit cries to You
Ok, hear what I say
As I raise my hands in surrender today
Right here under the sun
Hands in the air singing Thy will be done
I'm here under the sun
Hands in the air singing Thy will be done
Ok, here I will stay
Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way
Have thine own way
