God is sooooooooooooooo good!

God does "awesome stuff" for people all the time--they just don't normally recognize it comes from Him, or they focus so much on the bad stuff in their lives that they don't ever look at the positive.



I believe in God but I also believe I am responsible for the good and bad that happens in my life.

Congrats on the baby.

For those who didn't know, I am having a baby in April 2007.



Congratulations. But, doesn't your husband deserve more praise than God in this? What did God have to do with you getting pregnant?



Because Christians (most anyway) believe that the act of procreation b/t humans is not merely a biological one, one reduced to simply a joining of the gamates resulting in offspring.

OTOH, Christians believe (again, most of them) that in the sacred act of the marital embrace, God is also truly present at the act of conception and imbues or endows the child with a soul - this is what makes the act a truly sacred one and, BTW, is the first basis for Christians to protest the great indignity of abortion, both to the mother and to the baby.

So, while biologically her husband "got" her pregnant, her God was also actively present in the moment and blessed them with a unique, unrepeatable human being.

And that, my friend is reason indeed to praise God from the rooftops!

Gee, Micro, that was beeyoooteeful. Really. I was never blessed with conception, but I'm vicariously enjoying the sentiment. Even if conception doesn't take place, God blesses the moment in a way that only Christians feel and know.

So it had nothing to do with the millions of variations possible with the triplet codon system of DNA, man if I had known that I could have saved myself 4 years of Biology at University, I would not have obviously wasted all that time, time I could have spent chasing my fancy of world travel and motorbike riding ( i wsn't skydiving in Uni):ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

You're very good at misreading my posts and then taking pock shots at me. I'm glad you find it so amusing.

I was talking about the infusion of the person w/ a soul, not about the biology. But hell, why should I even waste my time w/ the disrespectful likes of you?

You continue to prove, squeaker, that you are a shallow man. I do hope that changes some day or you are likely to die a very lonely man. And it's quite sad.

Do a little research on what the Immaculate Conception is before you lob an insult at her. You may learn something.

Hint: It has nothing to do with the Virgin Birth of Christ.

I didn't mis read it, I understood every word, you have obviously not made you message so clear as to not be ambiguous

So it's disrespectful of me to challenge your assertions, which cast disspertions on those of us who choose to not have children for reasons you deem less than worthy,,, there's a greek word for people like that, Hyppo something.. oh yeah Hippopotamus thats it.

On the contrary I'm quite deep, i just dont subscribe to your indoctrinations.

As to whether or not I will die a lonely man, thats doubtful, I plan on dying before my wife for starters, just by the nature of my stupidity alone, I'll probably kill myself doing somthing dumbarse, like riding a motorbike, or skydiving (fortunately I wont be abandoning any offspring if that happens);)

I wonder how many people will realize what you're talking about, Chris. Me, not being Catholic and being raised by a jew...well, you know me, and know I know what you're referring to. But I wonder how many others will.

So if your wife is screwing someone else, and falls pregnant, then that child has no soul? That seems a bit rough. I mean it's not their fault.

or

Is God present while your wife is screwing someone else and kindly gives the child a soul anyway. (Which I think is what a loving God would do.. )

Yeah. A real shame for the other 2/3 of humanity who just won't really get it.



Still waiting on this one.
Mockingbird, you probably didn't intend it to be, but I respectfully urge you to appreciate just how arrogant the insertion of the word "only" makes the rest of your statement out to be.

A truly intelligent god would screw my wife, drink my last beer, then lay down on my sofa, and use my remote control to browse the channels looking for soccer.:)Then again, maybe that's why I don't believe in god...:|
