We don't except God because the illusion of the world and mankind will not allow us. Only by reading and hearing about God's word will you understand everything. Saying that religious people are plain and don't think outside of the box is certainly untrue.
"Faith is embedded in hope and is the predecessor to sight. It envisions the impossible and accepts the incredible."
That statement proves that not only do we think outside of box, we think outside of the illusional world of ours to seek the truth. We do not belive that our minds, hearts, bodies and souls were simply accents. When we feel pain in our chest, that doesn't come from the brain. It comes from the heart, where the soul rests. When you get feelings inside, your head doesn't hurt. Your heart and soul feel those things, not your brain.
So saying we are ignorant to reality is really crap. We are taking reality and moving it aside to see the truth of the universe and all it's beauty, because I don't belive everything on this beautiful earth was accidental.

"We don't except God because the illusion of the world and mankind will not allow us.

Faith is often the ability of one's mind to ignore facts in favor of a more pleasant fantasy.
"It envisions the impossible and accepts the incredible."
Those afflicted with faith DO envision the impossible and accept the incredible. That is NOT a good thing, DT. It is a path that will lead you deeper into ignorance and stupidity.
"That statement proves that not only do we think outside of box, we think outside of the illusional world of ours to seek the truth."
First, your statement doesn't prove anything.
Second, ignoring facts is not "thinking outside the box," it is simply very poor thinking.
Third, you admit that you live in an illusion and that you need to get out of it to see the truth. Exactly! Ditch that Christian illusion and come join the rational people in the real world.
"We do not belive that our minds, hearts, bodies and souls were simply accents."
Huh? I recognized the words as English, but they don't make sense when strung together like that.
"When we feel pain in our chest, that doesn't come from the brain. It comes from the heart, where the soul rests."
Do you also believe, as the Bible teaches, that your conscience is in your kidneys? This is the 21st century. We know that all emotion is a product of the brain. Try to keep up.
"When you get feelings inside, your head doesn't hurt. Your heart and soul feel those things, not your brain."
Still not getting it, eh?
You have not yet shown that a soul exists.
"So saying we are ignorant to reality is really crap."
You are ignorant OF reality and your assertions ARE crap.
"We are taking reality and moving it aside to see the truth of the universe and all it's beauty,"
One cannot simply move reality aside. Reality is what is real. To ignore what is real isn't a pathway to truth, it is the pathway to ignorance and delusion.
I see and accept that there are many beautiful things in the universe, real things. I am not missing them because I don't exist in a cloud of delusion.
"because I don't belive everything on this beautiful earth was accidental."
Nor do I. There is nothing accidental about natural selection.
I had just waded through you're truly ignorant posts before this one, and was thinking, "Oh no, not more ignorant crap" only to find it was speculation instead of denying reality.http://www.fstdt.com/forums/thread.asp?p=4828#4828
What's next, the motion of clenching my fingers into a fist and repeatedly propelling it at a high velocity into your face doesn't come from my brain either, proving my fists have fury? (Sorry Bruce)
"Faith ... envisions the impossible and accepts the incredible."
I seem to recall that artists build castles in the air, psychotics live in them, and psychiatrists collect the rent.

Thinking outside the box is normally a good thing, especially if the obvious answers don't fit. Unfortunately for you the scientific field has shown how many things are, and how much of the bible is not. So when you 'think' outside the box you are denying that the box has any answers. WRONG.
Well, we accept, not "except" God, when we do our duty, that is, helping others and doing life better. Preaching nonsenses is useless.
So saying we are ignorant to reality is really crap. We are taking reality and moving it aside... That statement proves that not only do we think outside of box...
Think outside the box??! Dude, you ARE the box!
Faith is embedded in hope and is the predecessor to sight.
No, faith is hope taken to the level of delusion; a fantasy that is perceived as a reality.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
