PEOPLE!
People desiring control over other people.
PEOPLE!
Not gods, not a single god. Just PEOPLE!
The ever power-hungry people of the world.
And who is more worthy to control us and have authority over us then God? What is more honorable, leaving us to selfish people or our own selves, or God giving us guidance from him and his authority and rope to cling to.
Think about it.
Quote:And, for some reason, these people managed to convince a lot of other people that this BS is actually praiseworthy.... you included!If you want God to contact you, then you have to be ready to be at his service, be his sincere servant. Otherwise, you will increase in injustice. The following prayer has been transmitted through numerous authentic chains from the Twelve successors of the Prophet:
They've convinced people that it is good that only a few select individuals have real contact with the god of choice. And that is as it should be, huh? God needs to hide behind the few PEOPLE with whom he talks and send his messages, because... FUCK IT, god's shy and afraid of his creation, or something... I don't know...
It makes no sense.
My Lord, grant me complete severance of my relations with everything else and total submission to You. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts with the light of their looking at You to the extent that they penetrate the veils of light and reach the Source of Grandeur, and let our souls get suspended by the glory of Your sanctity.
My Lord, make me one of those whom You call and they respond; when You look at and they are thunderstruck by Your majesty. You whisper to them secretly and they work for You openly.
The Prophets came so we can have a close relationship to God, to see his glory, to trade looks with him, but it requires sincerity, and the first step is to be at peace with the guidance of God that has come to you.

Well I can just say you are wrong, and pasta has all the qualities of God. Praise doesn't get you closer to God, pasta does. You cannot see this as you are blinded by praise.
Since neither of us is offering any objective evidence, it's just my word against yours,
Your argument is a form ad hoc.
