You poor deprived soul. You must not be related to the bible then i'm affraid.
solution: find the biggest holy ghost you know of and ask if you can be included in God's Kingdom of Heaven...
So ... are you a ship's Commander ... or a preacher?

Only when my grandson gets that brilliant look in his eyes and jibber jabbers the wisdom of ages to me ... and I can't understand it.

I dunno. Does it matter? We all bleed the same right?
Not sure. If you think a nuclear reactor is a battery, what do you think a battery is?
Okay, Doc....
They don't, there's no compulsion about it, at least not in this part of the world. There are places where if you openly take the atheist or agnostic position you'll be treated pretty badly, including getting imprisoned or killed, but Canada's not one of them. Most people do believe in some kind of deity I think, I've never heard of any society that isn't associated with some form of religious belief and observance. Even the most draconian of officially atheist communist regimes couldn't wipe it out.Why do people have to believe in God?
If you don't believe it you're not really a Christian, pretty much by definition. There are, as gerryh correctly observed, certain things you must believe in order to call yourself Christian. There are other things you must believe in order to call yourself a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu, or whatever. There are rules and definitions for these things.Why do Christians have to believe in Jesus' divinity?

I'm beginning to think your rubber room is getting a little crowded. Must drive you nuts with your hands tied behind your back and your nose itches.A nuclear reactor is the starter engine of energy that the nuclear power harnesses into power comming from a battery like source...Just like God is the starter engine of your holy life which harnesses you into God's world comming from a human soul.
Make sense?

Nothing can come from nothing. If you believe in god, then all there is is god by definition. It is impossible to be without god, to be separate and that includes to be separate from anything else in existence. You don't have to believe in god to be part of it, everything has to be part of god, including you. Religion teaches that you are separate and that is my big objection to it. Religion takes away your divinity, makes you believe you are not worthy. That is how they try to control you, manipulate you to follow their rules. People commit all sorts of atrocities because they do not know that they are absolutely responsible for their reality. There is no sin, just karma - you reap what you sow. Everything else is just window dressing for the control freaks.
Don't blame me if you don't get it and become frustererated... God HATES YOU if he does not show himself infront of you... :evil3:
A benevolent God hates? My but don't we have a warped perspective....
Of course he does... Why do I get my ass kicked every time I dream about God in my sleep? Talk about a big anvil and hammer to my life.
I know damn well why you guys don't know God is because he is AWESOME and let's just say HARD CORE on the human mind which you people would freak out if he came into your lives... It almost takes being a soldier to get to know him.
honest.
Ah! Shell shocked! That explains everything.Of course he does... Why do I get my ass kicked every time I dream about God in my sleep? Talk about a big anvil and hammer to my life.

Funny.... He seems pretty easy-going to me. Perhaps you're fighting within yourself.
Ah! Shell shocked! That explains everything.
I don't have to. I am my own god.Sure buddy... You got the correct idea and theory. The question remains, did God answer to you? :lol:
C'mon I have faith in you... Just do this since your so close.. repeat and do the same as me, "WHEN I GET ANGRY I WAVE A FIST TO THE HEAVENS!"
That's right.. force him out of hiding lad!
I don't have to. I am my own god.
