From your "defense", it just seems like god created man 'cause he was bored and needed someone to worship at his feet and tell him what a good guy he is. Kinda shallow, really. God has an inferiority complex. That just opens up a 'whole 'nother can'o'worms, you know?

[Ynot]

My own personal view is God created Earth as a battlefield and men as soldiers in an almighty, cosmic game of Risk ™

[dreamtamer007]

Very good insight. Ynot I think god is starting to use you and as you open yourself to believing in someone who created and loves us your eyes will be opened even more. You see the world has it backwards and always will. They can’t get off this kick about being good enough to go to heaven when in reality its putting faith in the right person. Even Kim can become right with god. She just needs to repent as we all do and put faith in the right person. Repenting does not mean being good enough, it is the result of turning away from sin. That’s why Jesus is the only one who can change us to be pleasing to the father because we don’t have the ability. So just like him we say” not my will but thou will be done. Some men will commend you for being good. Only the father knows who is good. Ask him to help you and he will.

I have a tremendous amount of faith... .In myself. >> Only the father knows who is good. Ask him to help you and he will. What about Santa? He's the one with the list - and he checked it twice. Does he license it out to god? I'd have more respect for your diety if I found out he was using outsourced labor for some of the more mundane tasks like data collection and record keeping. That would just be good business.

[Ynot]

I feel I have to keep re-iterating that I don't beleive in God but what I do beleive in, is good and evil the balance of power god and the devil are just human manifestations of this balance but hey....

See what I mean. The world is stuck on being good enough. They know Christians better then we do.

Good, you’re right. God is just a word. We believe in a real good and evil.

maybe I just watch too many films

[dreamtamer007]

Originally posted by kimpossible I don't believe in good or evil. I believe in Potential. Energy is neutral. People can decide what to do with it. Right and Wrong and the shades in between. I guess you'd say that I'm \"Chaotic Neutral\" You know what we say!

[kimpossible]

Originally posted by dreamtamer007 You know what we say! Yup. Almost nothing of value.

[dreamtamer007]

Maybe I’m just pissing up a rope. Ops Sorry Kim

[kimpossible]

Hey - you have to shower somehow! Since the church held that bathing was a sin in the middle-ages - well - there you go!

[dreamtamer007]

Got on my knees last night. I had a morning full of dreams. Just thought you’d be interested. Have a nice day or evening.

[wasup]

Originally posted by dreamtamer007 There we go again. Smarter then God. Knowing Christians more then we do. In the first place God created the angles and Lucifer was one of them. He, like some of you thought he was smarter then God and knew how things should be and even tried to take Gods place of power. With his free will he turned against God to try and be God. Does that sound like anyone here in this forum? Bradybaker is the devil!!!!!!!!111111111111111111

[dreamtamer007]

Wrong again. Why don’t you guys go to the desert to sit and stare at your navel.

[spoon]

What? So you went with "dodge the issue" again?

[dreamtamer007]

Originally posted by spoon What? So you went with \"dodge the issue\" again? No I’m dodging you

[spoon]

Meh, I merely said you were dodging an issue brady raised. I'm sure someone else raised it a few pages back to. If you don't like me I'm sure you could go back and respond to their points

Originally posted by Awaken4e1 Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?' nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form it , Why me didst thou make thus? hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour? And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call--us-- From this I think it is clear the whole 'free will' issue... Out of curiosity: Have you ever had an original thought, or is that banned by your god too?

[Ynot]

I've always felt more ape-like than man maybe it's the facial hair
