~ November Blessings and Thanks ~

[jcribb16]

Thank God for the beautiful world He has created ...

There is no valid evidence of either such a supernatural 'creator' nor, that such was supernaturally-created.

Whatever you want to think.

I've chosen to think logically, as opposed to not thinking and holding irrational superstitious religious beliefs but, thanks for the unneeded 'permission'.

I have a baby on the way and I haven't had any issues and the doc said she's healthy so I'm thankful for that.

That's wonderful!  Congratulations, too!

No permission involved - it's called free personal choice to do and live as you please; just as anyone else does, including myself.  Calling my thinking irrational is thoughtless on your part, but that's my choice to think that of your thoughtless thinking.  Does no good for you to keep repeating yourself over and over, but since it makes you feel you have contributed to standing up for your choice - have at it.  I will continue, as well, to describe how I feel or think, when I feel I need or want to.  Have a great Tuesday.

~ Revelation 7:12 ~
      (KJV)
"Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever.  Amen."

Day 13:  I am very thankful for our Lord God.  Thankful for the sacrifice He made on that cross for our salvation.  The verse says it perfectly!


Just an add on that I realize not all believe in God, or in any god, and that's a freedom of choice to choose or not choose how to live one's life.  I am sharing with anyone interested in similar interests, especially those of us who do love God. 

I am making no demands on anyone, whether of the Lord, or atheist, or anyone else - just simply sharing, in a forum, what I am thankful for during November, leading up to Thanksgiving.  How someone takes that is entirely up to them.  My intent was not to cause turmoil, or dissension with anyone, just thanks to things I appreciate and am thankful for. 

While anyone is allowed and free to comment on anything in this forum, I just want to say that whoever does not agree with this thread, based on what you dis-believe, or believe, is acknowledged, though obviously not agreed with, based on what I believe or not.  I'm thankful we all have the opportunity to share what we think in here, whether agreed with, or disagreed with.

~ Psalm 147:7 ~
       (KJV)
"Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:"

Day 14: I am thankful for the material things we have that help us daily - such as our home, car, food, clothing, etc.

[jcribb16]

~ Colossians 4:2 ~
        (KJV)
"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;"

Day 15:  I am thankful for my health, although not the best right now and am on way too many meds, but that I am able to get up each day, to do some things I need to do and want to do.  I'm thankful for each of my doctors and specialists, who work together to coordinate what I take, including the goal towards a better quality of life.

Day 16: I am thankful for a roof over my head, keeping warm and most of all my Lord, because it is through God that I am home. He not only answered my prayers back in April of this year when I was without a home...when I had to sleep in the woods..when I had to live on ramen noodles and eggs, but He brung me home, gave me the kitty I should of stayed and got to start out with, and now I have money in my pocket to begin to replace some of the things I have lost, not only that, I am going to college for my degree in Bachelors of Science in Christian Counseling. God used me through the year to help others, so while I was hurting..I didn't so much face the affliction as I talked to others. I am giving God the Glory because He answers prayers, I pictured something happening in my head over and over, and one day I went to church and it happened.

What a wonderful testimony!  Thank you for sharing this and how you persevered through a rough time.  I wish you the best with attaining your degree, and that's neat how God used you to also help others.

Thanks very much, and a Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas to you, too!

~ Psalm 26:7 ~
       (KJV)
"That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works."

Day 16:  I am grateful for being able to have both my hearing and vision.  There are many, including friends, who live with loss of hearing or vision on a daily basis.  I am thankful for those friends, and for my grandmother who suffered with both, for the positive outlook they have on life, and how they adapt, including sign language and braille.  These are things that can be easily taken for granted and I do not ever want to forget how blessed I am.

No, there's no evidence to support such specious attributions to a hypothetical supernatural entity since an empty belief does not constitute substantive evidence, (nor does blind religious "faith", by the same token).  It's one thing to profess to hold superstitious religious beliefs and quite another to attribute without evidence, (e.g., 'the invisible purple unicorn used Bob to do all sorts of things because Bob believes it did'; this constitutes equating a specious belief with a 'fact' and that's false "testimony").

Yes, to them there is.  It's their choice.  You stick to your evidence and stop telling someone "No" when it's not your decision.

[jcribb16]

You stick to your evidence and stop telling someone "No" when it's not your decision.

It remains that no substantive evidence to support specious religious attributions is extant.  The lack of such evidence isn't a "decision", it's factual.  The religious attributions were made without supporting evidence and are therefore, false attributions to supernatural causes.

False to you and to others.  Not false to some - their choice to believe how they want, evidence provided or not.
