I was giving your post a bit mor...Hi again, Mike. <br /><br />I was giving your post a bit more thought, and it occurred to me that the concept behind Gervais film is self-contradictory.<br /><br />You see, it implies that God (who can not lie) would be more powerful if He had the ability to lie (in the movie, God is portrayed by the "innocent" society). Yet, this concept is presented as a truth (albit fictional and funny--- and, likely, missed by more than 99% of those watching the movie).<br /><br />However, if lying is more powerful than the truth, then truth would not matter. The problem with this is, attempts to deny the law of non-contradiction always afirm it.<br /><br />And, in the words of Lily Tomlin (Rowan & Martin's <b>Laugh-in</b> )<br />"That's the truth pphhhtt"<br /><br />Besides, Mike, aren't you the one who goes on and on about the "unbias" of atheists because they are "searching for the truth?"<br /><br />Jesus the Christ is:<br /><br />The Way;<br />The Truth;<br />The Life.<br /><br /><br />While you think Christians are "sitting there waiting for heaven", and you go about "living your life to the full", you might want to contemplate who is actually living life and who is wasting it... start this contemplation by thinking in terms of Pascal's wager. In these terms, ask yourself what it means to have life and to live it fully.<br /><br />After you've given that some thought, then think about Jesus' words...<br /><br />Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: <b><i>I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. </i></b> <br /><br /><br />johnnyjohnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055026081067946300.post-43660810672209887952009-10-03T14:27:50.390-07:002009-10-03T14:27:50.390-07:00Hi Mike.
