Those who say they place their faith in God, should not worry. Especially about things that are out of their control.

If you have faith, any kind of faith in any kind of higher power or universal law, do you still worry?

If so, why?

I worry about my cat.

He's been acting far too human lately.

Because gods help those who help themselves

Abra, you kill me...

Yeah but "worry" is an ineffective emotion. In fact it can cause paralysis and failure to act in many people.

every FEELING is a "TELL" of what self need, less self deem itself not a good guide, so does nothing???

if self is not a good guide, USING "EACH" FEELING AS A WISDOM FROM SELF TO HELP SELF, then WHO besides self,s is the BETTER GUIDE FOR SELF???

living is subverted to emotional death when self have any FEELING and it dismiss it as MEANINGLESS???

the greatest sad state of humanity is self believing not in self???

the first FEELING decided by self to be WORTH NOTHING, LEADS SELF TO SOON DEEM MANY THINGS FELT BY SELF AS WORTHLESS???

feelings are given by the perfect self to ENVOKE TO ACTION!!!

if the mind has been convinced IT'S FEELINGS ARE NOT WISE, LIFE IS SUBVERTED BY SELF'S OWN MIND???

follow the body not the mind, as the mind CAN MAKE ITSELF BELIEVE ANYTHING, BUT THE "BODY DOES NOT LIE"!!!

what is the difference between worry and fear and what is wrong with either .... we need the fear of God to be obedient and paranoia to be smart
worry to be carefull

We NEED to worry and fear?

I challenge that idea. I think you are wrong.

If you worry and fear, then you HAVE NO FAITH.

Doesn't the Bible say: "FEAR NO EVIL?"

So then are you saying that we should fear good and fear God?
If we fear good it is only because we are evil.

So if you are evil, then you should fear good and fear God.. mostly because what goes around... comes back around.

Karma.

I am not evil so I don't fear good or God.

You must think all humans are evil.

To worry is to imagine the worst even when you can do nothing about it.

It is good to be careful, but fear and worry are thoughts of things you do not want.

You manifest what you think about ... eventually.

that is better...i do not need to argue but those were questions i had and thank you for addressing them better

I really wonder about people who say things like this.

It makes me wonder just what kinds of things they'd actually prefer to be doing if they didn't feel a need to fear God?

Some people would make terrible atheists I guess.

now that is silly....i would be an awefull athiest sorry athiest God

and it is not that things that i would rather do that would make me fear it is not doing the things that God calls me to do that i would fear...

think about it

feelings are the only contact form of any supernatural to any human???

You should do what your heart tells you to do. Do good things.

Don't listen to those strange voices in your head. Sometimes people have been known to hear voices telling them to do bad things.

That's probably not God.

Excuse me?

First you say that we need the fear of God to be obedient.

Then you try to change that around to imply that you actually meant that you fear the things that God calls on you to do?

Then you ask me to think about it?

Sounds to me like you're either confused or just trying to change your original position.

~~~

Also why would you be afraid of something that God would ask you to do?

Don't you trust God to ask you to do good works?

You do realize what Atheism is right?

Also, it's not the fear of God that keeps people obedient, it's the fear of the police/court system. Take god away, and things will remain the same. Take the Police away, and those "good christians" will steal and loot.

And roast same-gender couples on a spit, next to the evolution scientists and the stem cell research doctors.

Yep, it's the cops that keep the Christians humane. That's for sure. We have centuries of history that show what Christians do when they become the law!

It's NOT GOOD.

if a good friend never ask another to do anything for self that it can do itself, then HOW does a all powerful god, that can CREATE A UNIVERSE ALL BY ITSELF, need to ask a human for any help with a task???

A TRUE ALL POWERFUL GOD NEVER ASK OR TELL ANYTHING TO DO ANYTHING!!!

Its because Christians lack the ability to be "good for goodness sake." They need to either be tormented and wrapped up in the fear of sin or hopefull that they will be rewarded with some sort of afterlife. Other than that, there is no reason for them to be decent people on their own.
