That is, if it doesn't destroy us, if it doesn't burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things." -The Vampire Lestat |

But belief in a diety as "he" has been portrayed and interpreted over the centuries is elementary thinking. We as a species have been conditioned to believe and accept that there's an old man with a beard on a cloud directing each life on the planet, constantly messing with us and demanding our wolship through threats of hell. A higher power exists...it's just not Jehovah or Allah or whatever you call it. Quoting: lasereyes I know that, I think exactly like you. God is cosmological, he(or it) don't have a human image, like the church used to show us. What I'm trying to discuss here, is......what are the true intentions of this entity?? Torture us? |

My theory is that in each human on the planet, there is a shard of unfathomable energy that each make up a part of "god". Religion was invented by humans and by that logic so was every aspect of it, including and especially god. I believed in those fairy tales when I was a kid, but I have since aged and started thinking logically and for myself. lasereyes |

The sin that makes God cry is being committed daily, not by pagan workers of iniquity but by multitudes of Christians—the sin of doubting God's love for His children. Do you think it makes God sound too human and vulnerable to say that He cries? Then ask yourself how a God of love could not cry when His own people doubt His very nature. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, and according to the book of John He wept when those closest to Him doubted His love and concern. That was God incarnate at the tomb of Lazarus, crying over friends who failed to recognize who He was. Time and time again Christ's dearest associates on this earth doubted His love for them. Think of the disciples in a storm-tossed boat that was taking on water. Jesus was in the stern of the boat, sound asleep. Fearing for their lives, His followers shook Him awake and then accused Him of outright unconcern. "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" (Mark 4:38). How their accusation must have grieved the Lord! That was God Almighty in their boat! How could He not care? But whenever men take their eyes off the Lord and concentrate instead on their circumstances, doubt always takes over. Jesus was astounded! "How can you be afraid when I am with you? How can you question My love and care?" Christians today grieve the Lord in this matter even more. Our unbelief is a greater affront to Him than the unbelief of Mary, Martha, and all the disciples, for our sin is committed against greater light. We stand on a higher mountain and see more than they could ever see. We have a completed Bible with a full and detailed record of God's trustworthiness. We have the written testimonies of almost twenty centuries of Christians, generation after generation of godly fathers who have passed down to us unshakable proofs of God's love. And we have countless personal experiences that testify to God's tender love and affection for us. Let us look for His exceeding mercy and love, admit the sinfulness of our unbelief, and recognize who He is! |

Humans are problematic.. problems problems problems.. creating problems is what they seem to do best. Create problems for themselves which they are then unable to solve. They create an economy, and they can't even resolve the problems which that has created. Humanity is like a cat stuck up in a tree. Overall grade so far..

The world is that of duality, for God to exist in ones life, we must rid or harness, the dark part of our lives. Our lamp shade is to dirty for the light to shine through, so we must clean the dirt our our souls, to make it shine. The world inside of you, as well as the outside, is the battle field over your energy. You can decide on who we want to give it to, it's your choice. |
