Quoting: Anonymous Coward 527421Many of the God haters and bible preachers refer to GOD with human qualities and characteristics. Maybe that is why they don't get GOD. The nature of GOD is beyond our limited human comprehension. God is the Supreme Intelligence, first cause of all things. God is eternal, immutable, immaterial, unique, omnipotent, supremely just and good. God is not a man in the sky watching over humanity doling out rewards and punishments. Stop looking at God from such a childish and spiritually stunted perspective and maybe you can begin to grasp some of God in your life. And God does answer prayers, just not in the way people expect. God isn't the Bible. The BIBLE and all religious texts (written by some lunatic inthe Middle East, you know how it is, you watch TV right? Well, THAT type of lunatic wrote the bible and books like it and they are absurd.) suck. What the hell are you thinking? The Bible is fucking ABSURD. The Koran is a fucking JOKE, the Torah is BULLSHIT, the Talmud is sheer ASSHOLISM. All written by Middle Eastern fucked in the head crazies. What does the real God have to do with that? |

Dan 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. The Son of Man (Jesus) Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Rev 1:14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire; Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: Rev 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. |

You think people who do not believe in God HATE God. But this is not true. How can we hate something that doesn't exist? It is impossible. Now, people, they are quite easy to hate, especially when they pretend to love you but they say you are going to hell unless you become exactly like they are. Now those types of people are easy to hate. God is imaginary, make believe, non-existant, invisible, and THUS, impossible to hate. Wouldn't you agree? |

But if you stop and think about it: "man" as per definition, can NEVER be "God".......for God is God, and man is man! Now can a man become a God? Well, can a grain of sand ever become a beach? No.....it will always just be a grain of sand!!!! That's how silly these saying are........:( |

Canuck thanks Canuck, I am glad a few got what I was getting at and thanks for the positive message Hannibal. It just seems from some of the discussions on GLP many of the people who do not believe in a Higher Power are still trapped in some child like fable about a heavenly father that watches over us and protects us from harm. of course such a belief will certainly lead to disillusionment. God is not some superhero entity that protects humanity from harm. such a god does not exist. anyway I respect your beliefs |
