General Theistics 101 Guidelines

This area is open for nontheists and theists to interact on issues of theism and faith in a civilized manner. We ask that nontheist participation respect the theistic views of others and not seek to undermine theism in general, or advocate for nontheism. Such posts are more suited for and allowable in Apologetics 301 with very little restriction.

The moderators of this area are given great discretion to determine if a particular thread or comment would more appropriately belong in another forum area.

    Is a "prosperous life" necessary for being "good"? One thinks of mendicant groups of Christians who eschew the material things of life.
    And if they find comfort in that, so be it.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        My apologies for not playing your silly game.

          Scripture Verse: Psalm 1

          Blessed is the man
          who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
          nor stands in the way of sinners,
          nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
          but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
          and on his law he meditates day and night.

          He is like a tree
          planted by streams of water
          that yields its fruit in its season,
          and its leaf does not wither.
          In all that he does, he prospers.

          Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
          But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
          Than a fool in the eyes of God


          From "Fools Gold" by Petra

            prosperous life


            What do you understand by that?
