    The Coffee House - the UU Fellowship Thread

    Hey everyone! I just wanted to say my good-byes somewhere, and I thought this would be a good place. I love RF a lot and it's been an incredible community for me and has helped me to grow a lot in the past year+, but I think I really need to spend some time alone with God, exploring my...

    The Necessity of the Crucifix

    Oh okay, thanks! :)

    So why doesn't god heal amputees?

    Sorry, I see that as circular logic. You believe in miracles that happened thousands of years ago without need of proof because you believe in miracles that happened thousands of years ago (a.k.a. the authors of the Bible being inspired by God). That's cool and all if that's what you believe...

    What does God look like?

    Oh, jeez, I get to be the super dorky one :o Actually, that's not entirely accurate. At water's triple point, they can all exist at the same time... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point That's why I've always thought the ice-water-steam analogy was actually remarkably accurate to the...

    The Necessity of the Crucifix

    I love your outlook on this :) I'm always a bit confused, though - what about the people who lived before Christ? If Christ was the Reconciler, how are those who lived before Him reconciled?

    a curiously hypothetical question

    Do you seriously not see a contradiction there? And they were "simply slain"? Jeez then, I wonder what all of those Jews have been complaining about, after all, all of the people in the Holocaust were "simply slain." :areyoucra Um...or maybe not...None of those are the reason I don't accept...

    Do people who choose to take their life go to hell?

    Since I do not believe in Hell, I have to answer this hypothetically. If Hell existed, I do not believe God would send anyone there solely because they committed suicide. I think suicide is a tragic thing and God would take into account why they committed suicide. It makes no sense to me that...

    Will I be forced to go to Heaven?

    I would agree with this statement. Danisty, I am confident that while God will not force you to, you will choose him eventually - though that makes me uncomfortable to say (I mean no disrespect to your beliefs! I merely see God and Heaven differently than you do).

    a curiously hypothetical question

    But doesn't that depend on what he tells you to do? What if he told you to take a machine gun and wipe out every single innocent child in an elementary school? And then head over to the nursing home as an encore? To the OP: To be totally honest, my gut reaction to this was actually to say that...

    Fish Wars

    "Fish" in Greek is an acronym for "Jesus Christ, Son Of God, Savior." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_fish

    Why Does God Want Us to Believe in Him?

    No, that's a good point. I just don't believe the former :) But you're right, they certainly are compatible.

    "If there is a hell, there can be no heaven"

    Even your conscience? Or, as Katzpur said, your compassion? Edit: Oops, you already responded to this: I get what you're saying, but I disagree. IMO, forgetting that we have loved ones in hell does indicate a loss of compassion... I'll give another example. Not exactly adequate, but hey. A...

    How could an omnicient being have feelings and will?

    Do you mind explaining this? Maybe not in this thread - it's a little off topic - but maybe in a new thread or a PM? I'm curious :) "Of great power" doesn't mean omnipotent. It means very powerful. Here's the ESV translation: "Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is...

    So why doesn't god heal amputees?

    Why do you need solid proof for miracles today but you can accept miracles that happened thousands of years ago? Just curious :shrug:
