First of all if you reference a bible verse, include the verse.

For those who claim to be experts in the bible or christianity, how much have you actually studied? Has is occurred to you that most chistians read only the bible and not many more books? In addition the passages were written before our age, in a different prose or context. Even first hand historical records, say from Francis Bacon or George Washington, need to be interpreted for our modern minds. American christians assume they understand every sentance of the bible automatically and that is non sense. Also christianity is one of the few religions to state there is a hell. Think about professionalism, how many careers are based on just one book? None.

The whole point 'God Loves ALL' is making is to forge or discern your own beliefs. I agree there is a myriad of ways to find god and it does not have to be thru a bible. In addition if you are a fundamentalist do you realize the bible also teaches faith thru works, and not static definitions. Regardless of you faith 'words are cheap and deeds are dear'. Your faith should lead you and others to happiness, shouldn't it? I would like christians to read this dream a boy had called 'The Room', link below. It really puts things in perspective as the answers aren't locked away in a biblical interpretation buried in the bowels of your mind. The answers are to live thoughtfully and be aware of your direction. If you believe you will be judged then what does you 'card' say today, "I sat on my butt and regurgitated what I learned." Americans are afraid to absorb other cultures and ideas, we think we have it all figured out by the age of 30. It actually all begins about then and that is the time to test your precious faith, have you ever done that?

Currently I think this thread has exposed the fact people are uncertain about their faith. Do you christians really believe you can understand the existence of higher forms or the concept of hell? Do you realize shamans and gurus have spent lifetimes pursuing the higher mind? They have found the answer and it is out there to be shared. The difficulty is the path begins inside, and our culture tells us we are just blood & guts. Our inner beings are a transceiver of interdimensional thought energy, we are in possession of such power and naturally contain the ability to discern the absoute truth. Yet society and religion teach us to wait for salvation. Doing nothing is something I could never do.

'God Loves ALL' signature states a lot. There are endless works describing the path to a higher form. Also see your 'agony' is due to 'waiting'. I suffer from this too.

Personally I am going to Washington DC on Nov5 to 'occupy' because I have faith in man and not the internet or the presidential race. I'll find something.
