True of course :smile:

God is real but misunderstood and misrepresented to monopolize access. I am quite convinced that the omnipotent all knowing and all seeing one is none other than the cognizant universe. As such it cannot help but know intimately every particle in existance. It knows everything because it is everything. Ask not what god can do for you but what you can do for god.

This is called the Hulool: some think that God is the universe. No, of course: God created the universe; God is the Superior Being distinct from His created universe; He created everything, and He is over His throne watching and controlling everything: He is the Most High, and Superior to the matter world (and the dirt of its inhabitants) and the ether world (and the defect of its inhabitants).
This is in the Quran 13: 16​
قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ قُلِ اللّهُ قُلْ أَفَاتَّخَذْتُم مِّن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاء لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلاَ ضَرًّا قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الأَعْمَى وَالْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِي الظُّلُمَاتُ وَالنُّورُ أَمْ جَعَلُواْ لِلّهِ شُرَكَاء خَلَقُواْ كَخَلْقِهِ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ قُلِ اللّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ​
The explanation:
(Say [Mohammed, to them]: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "[He is] God."

Say: "Do you then take as patrons – apart from Him – those who even have no power to profit for themselves or to hurt?"

Say: "Are [then] the blind and the All-Seeing equal? Or are the darkness and the light equal?"

Or do they assign to God associates who created the like of His creation so that the creation seemed alike to them?

Say: "God is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Dominant.")

I would ask God to freeze time and don't restart it until I could convince Dexter Sinister, Scott Free, Vanni Fucci, Talloola, Cliffy, SirJosephPorter, and Marilyn Manson to accept Jesus Christ as their salvation.

Easy Peasy!

do you have the money you owe me?

Do you worship the money? :lol:

Then Who gave you the money, and enriched you after you were poor; and who gave you power and you were weak, and secured you after being afraid, and healed you after being ill and clothed you ...etc ?

It is narrated that one of the prophets, it may be he was Joseph son of Jacob; he asked God (this is only narration, not in the Quran); he asked God: God, by the rights of my fathers with you, give me so and so. (his fathers were prophets: Jacob, Isaac and Abraham)
Then God revealed to him in the night dream: What rights have your fathers on me? Weren't they naked and I clothed them, hungry and I fed them, ignorant and I acquainted them, poor and I enriched them, ill and I cured them ...etc?

Therefore the right is due to God alone.

And this is in the Quran 93: 6-11 addressing his apostle Mohammed:
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى . وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى . وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَى . فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ . وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ . وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ​
The explanation:
(Did He not find you an orphan, and give you shelter [to your grandfather, then to your uncle]?

Did He not find you erring [from the religion], and guide you [by inspiration and revelation]?

Did He not find you destitute with a family, and enrich you [by trading and by the wealth of your wife Khadieja]?

Therefore, as for the orphan: oppress him not.
As for the beggar: scold him not.
And as for your Lord's favor [on you: your message]: 'rehearse and proclaim' it [to people.])

Good Luck! I hope you got a lotta time to kill.

What I find rather funny is that if JC should reappear and proclaim his new kingdom, christians would be the first to strike him down, crucify him. Because they so misunderstand what his teachings were all about he would have to tell them just how wrong they are.

Christianity is a religion about Jesus and they pay more attention to what Paul had to say and not enough on what Jesus supposedly said. That is why I call it Paulianity. It has a nice sounding double entendre to it too.

We are all part of the all that is. Some call it god/creator/universe. It really doesn't matter what you call it, it far to infinite to be comprehensible to our finite minds. That is why I prefer to call it all that is. Although it is beyond my mind to conceive or perceive, it is all inclusive, not separate.

Born Again Christians say you have to let the Lord back into your heart if you want to be saved. It is a concept which is beyond me. There is nothing which is not part of the all that is, so how would it be possible to be without it. We cannot evict the it from our bodies. We would not exist! Even in suicide, we can separate ourselves from the all that is. The concept of shutting the all that is out or to let it back in are intellectual oxymorons. They are absurdities indulged by those who think God is a separate entity from themselves. This applies to Muslims and Jews too.

I'm not interested in being saved, unless I fall off of the ferry.;-)
I don't think about 'all that there is', in a spiritual way, or a religious way.
I wonder what is out in the universe, eg. other life, similar to us. I don't
wonder where we came from, the earth does it for me, for ,we came from her.
I don't think about 'something' bigger than I, doesn't enter my mind.
I don't look away from where I am, which is on this earth, I like it here, and I'm
not going anywhere else, alive or dead.

Yeah, but they are so easy, no different than all the other 'advertisements'
who are trying to persuade us to buy their product. Just ignore them, and
they go away, don't get sucked in, but for every 10 who are alert, there must
be at least 1 sucker, and that is what they count on, right?

I think you're stunningly optimistic. I'd say the ratio is at best 1:1. People of average intelligence are really not very smart, they will have difficulty comprehending the material in the standard secondary school curriculum according to my high school guidance counselor, and by definition half of us are average or below. :-(

Well, I tried but I just can't resist. Two questions/observations. " People of average intelligence are really not very smart", seems to mean most peole are quite dense, that would include you also unless vanity is an issue. If you were not having issues of some sorts with the "standard secondary school curriculum" why were you dragged in to see the "school guidance counselor"? Please don't say she was looking for advice.
