Nothing can offer certainty. People hate living in a world like that but put your bigboy/biggirl pants on because that’s life.

Nothing outside of God can offer certainty.

I mean, sure I guess. But god doesn’t seem to even do that at least with most people, hence the thousands or religions people believe with “absolute certainty” that theirs is the one true religion.

Not "god", God. You're right, there is no certainty in god. There is only certainty to be found in God.

If you are saying that “if there is a God than that God is certain”, than sure, I agree, I’d hope that God could be certain because they would in most religions be the creator and knower of all.

Especially the strychnine-flavored variety.

But which one? There are so many to choose from.

Every other poster being a religious nut is getting a bit old.

Sabe me Jebus! Trust in thy lord and everything will be fine. You might kill me, but I'll have the moral highground in the afterlife

It's becoming increasingly common isn't it? along with labeling "conservatism" a cure all? I've been around _TheDonald for 5 years and this is one of the more irritating developments. I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

I know, right? You show up in the eleventh hour and there's, like, a culture already there or something! And it's about damn time everyone changed to make you feel more comfortable!

Then you can bring in all your friends, change all the rules, and evict everyone who was there beforehand--just like the SJWs do!

The two things are unrelated. Nice try. I see you're making the same kind of assumptions SJWs do though. You can keep telling your antiquated fairy tales, but you're going to hear my disrespect of them just as much.

I'm not sure what you're saying but religion has always been a big part of this movement. I don't believe in any of it but respect the values and social integrity that Christians strive towards.

Yep. The word "science" literally means "knowledge," by which is understood knowledge of the material world. And nothing IN science can prove that there is nothing BUT science, which is to say, all the material means in the world to measure all the material things of the world are unsuited to ascertain spiritual verities, which only God (Himself a spirit, whom must be worshipped likewise) is able to reveal. There is a wonderful quote by a Canadian canon, a cleric named Dyson Hague, if memory serves, that we expect good musicians to be musically inclined, therefore, by analogy, Scripture (which speaks of spiritual things) may be understood only by spiritually-minded persons.

Lol uh huh. "It's not the glaring contradictions, lies, and falsehoods pushed as dogmatic fact, you're just not spiritually inclined enough!"

Well, this is America, and you are entitled to your opinion, and this is not the place to disprove your position, but I will say only this: Not a single spoon of dirt of material evidence ever discovered has ever refuted the truth of Scripture. Religions are what men have made by pervertering it.

Certainty of starvation under communism seems a safe one to me.

Scientific inquiry does reveal that your hypothesis seems to be correct. As of now, communism significantly increases the odds of starvation.

I think this is a point that makes for some bad advice, but I know it comes from a good place. There IS certainty in life, it's just not abundant. It's often attributed to things that it doesn't have.

When I want to be reminded of certainty I go to the ocean and look out.
