Can you accept that Man is greater than God?

At the core of all religions are the same beliefs. No one religion has a monopoly on god or the truth. What separates most is dogma and superfluous nonsense of human origin. We have been killing each other over who is more righteous for thousands of years and nobody seems to see the ridiculousness of it. They just keep arguing and fighting. Does anybody really believe that if there is an all powerful god that it condones such wasteful stupidity? If this god is all powerful, that it needs defending by petty little minds like ours?
Just think about where we are in the Universe and how insignificant we are to the greater whole and ask yourself, "why would this god care about what I believe?" We are like quarks on a proton or electron compared to the body of the Universe. Do you ever think about the individual quarks that are on a proton in one atom of your body? I don't think so. But, Hey! If it gets you through the night to believe it does, fine. But why do so many think it is necessary to involve others in their insecurities?
My god is not bigger or more powerful than anybody else's. I do not need to convince anybody else that my way of believing is any more righteous than anybody else's. Does not believing make you smarter than believers?
We are all just passengers on a tiny rock flying through an infinite Universe at thousands of miles an hour. What you think and believe is inconsequential to the whole.

So far the book is ahead in how long something is remembered. I'm thinking 3 weeks is about what I deserve, if you knew me a long time.

And where is this foolish man now? he perished many years ago and went to God in the Afterlife where he would regret but his regret and sorrow would not avail him anything.



Are you drunken? For certainly this is not even any philosophy .. only the blasphemy and the assertion of wrong words of the falsehood.

I can accept we are where we are because this part of the journey is done without God being more than a word in a book.

For the kingdom of God is not in word,

but in power.

That is all he has ever been to those with the wit to discern these things.


At the same time, if you can't see God in all, you will ever know God at all.

Jesus christ = rich jests us

"If one can believe absurdities one can commit atrocities" - Voltair

What happens if there is no one who died to forgive one for one's atrocities?
It never occurs to anyone that the con of being forgiven for your sins instead of judged for them is the ULTIMATE SATANISM?
How else would they get people to do the genocidal things that have been done to "others" ?
( even OTHER CHRISTIANS!!!)

So, if Jesus died to forgive all these low life deausch bags for their genocidal sins
and that's what heaven is full off...WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY THERE?

'We' have a ways to go before 'we' are at the 'next time' and more miss the 1st coming than see it and live to talk about it.

1Co:15:23:

But every man in his own order:

Christ the firstfruits;

afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

I think the best thing for the world is to leave God out of it.
Anybody can say God said this and that, but point of the matter nobody knows and can't know anything about God.

We are just a bunch of evolved animals that are trying to figure out what is going on.
When you put God into the equation, thats when the wars and confusions starts, because anybody can say its God talking, follow me or die in hell, and everybody will have a different opinion on what God says.

Imagine a world in which everyone thought like a scientist.
There would be no wars. Cause in science you go where the evidence is. And scientists usually agree on the evidence, and you can't make up stuff and say just believe on faith.

The meaning of life is knowledge. It is our job to figure out the universe one step at a time.
In essence trying to get a total understanding of it, or closer to God.
But we will never get there, cause if we did we would be God.
But it is our job to get as close as we can to understanding reality, and science is the best tool right now for that. Putting the word God in the knowledge just confuses everybody.

God is infinity. Leave God out of it. We can not understand infinity without understanding the rest of the universe first.

I'm skeptical about any relationship I hear about between man and God because it's man, a fallible being, who comes up with this shit! :)
