    I should eat less meat and more vegetables. However, I understand
    it is easier to get proper nutrition when meat is also eaten.

    The Christian is looking forward to an eternal abundant life,
    even if he does not have it now.
    Very well said. People tend to only think about the present not the future. They do not have that "what if" motto and find comfort in what the are thinking because more and more people do this every day

    Not always. Vegies has all the right proteins the human body needs. This all depends on the type of diet you are on. I did this study a while back when i started looking for alternative protein intake.

    Neither a Gazelle nor a Lion is capable of vegetarianism or morality. The one is a herbivore, the other a carnivore. Vegetarians are omnivores who choose not to eat meat.

    My wife always wants to go eat out. And since we can afford it, that is
    what we do.

    So far, so good.

    Maybe, the Lord is looking after us.

    actually total rubbish.

    There is no evidence or reason to believe in any religion or the supernatural.
    And a statistical likelihood that if one religion is real that as there are many
    many religions, all claiming mutual exclusivity, that the right one isn't the one
    you happen to follow.

    Thus we are all doomed to a cessation of existence on death, but I haven't wasted
    time while alive worshipping a non existent deity.

    And I have had better morals guiding me while alive to boot.

    Yes because in a universe of a hundred billion galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars
    each, any of which potentially with multiple planets and possible life forms.

    On a planet with nearly 7 billion other souls, many in dire need due to famine and war,
    God cares about your personal bank balance.

    He won't stop a tsunami, or a plague, intervene in wars, make it rain in a drought, or
    stop the planes flying into the twin towers...

    But he will make sure you and your misses have enough cash to eat out every night....


    Words can't describe how evil and depraved your god would have to be to exist as you describe him.

    Read the Holy Bible all the way through and study what Christian theologians
    have commented on each verse. Then, I am sure, you could do a much
    better job of accurately describing God than I am able to do with my single
    comment.

    Well good for you. If you find comfort in living without God in your life you are a fool for doing so. I understand from your point of view there are many religions all fighting about who really is right so you just sit on the side and pass comments to stuff you actually have no real knowledge nor experience of.

    Look at your children, yourself and the stars at night, if that is not good enough evidence then nothing bigger or greater will ever change your mind cause you are too blind to see the real evidence right in front of you.

    I agree with you. Googlefudge has no understanding of God thus he does not understand the works of God. I as a christian don't understand everything but the more we study the Bible the more BETTER knowledge we gain.

    Yes why does God sort out your bank balance but does not stop a tsunami. I had the same argument just the other day about my nice salary increase. The answer to the question is real easy......God works in misterious ways and who am I to question that. We should be thankful of what God has given us as it can be taken away just like that.

    We work hard for our money and God provides. Maybe googlefudge should put his trust in God and maybe he can be blessed in the same manner or even more........then what??
