AUM said:You know what? I'm tired of debating about religion/spirituality. There's nothing to debate...It's 2004a.c.e. If you don't know who/what/where "GOD" is by now you don't have much time left. "GOD" cannot be a force to behold without it's KNOWLEDGE. The WHOLE of "GOD" cannot be found inside of a small book of plagiarized and falsified stories from ancient myths. The concept of "GOD" cannot be given to you/me by a people who have no respect for life (human, plant, animal,etc.) The "GOD" of your ancestors cannot be pleased with the acceptance of the "GOD" of your enslavers.
I'm pissed with the ignorance, because it's slowing down our ascension. Ascension to what, you ask? The next level of existence.
time's wastin' folks...

Radical Faith said:That is probably true of the God of organized religion. The God I believe in want us to love him not fear him. Christians, Jews and Muslims believe that all mankind come from one person. This person use to commune with God on a regular basis. Imagine if you could be in the presence of a conceiveable God all the time. Truely awsome. Once sin entered in and man fall from Gods glory and man's nature changed. Man catered more to needs of the flesh rather than the spirit. This nature causes man to rebel against God's obedience. Man has become self serving, defiant, automonous(or so we think) and barbaric. When sin entered in God lost his close and personal family with mankind. God just wants his family back. God wants our trust and love. Those two qualities go hand in hand. If we loved God as we say we do we would trust God to manage lives to our liking instead of us trying to handle things ourselves . Whatever God has for us we would be able to accept it without question knowing that God has our best interest in mind. As parents we are like God on a super minute scale. We don't rule over our children, we guide our with love and care. When we instruct our children to do something and they question our authority or disobey our instructions we get upset. We unsual get upset and punish our children often telling them," I know more about you than you know about yourself" or "Because I said so" etc.. This sound a lot like God to me or least the God I believe in.
Peace
