The fact that he gave rep to himself is the most pathetic thing about him, if you ask me.

Yeah - rep whoring is one thing, rep fapping is pretty pathetic.

God saved my life. He is my best friend. I would die for God.

Of course you can. Believe me, most of us wonder about that too. Of course no one knows exactly but science can make a pretty compelling case for certain features of what is known as the big bang. Beyond that, all is null and void .. at least in our understanding.

Now before you jump in with your magical alternative I should warn you that most of us just consider that a kind of intellectual laziness. You ask the question but then have no stamina for the answer. So you settle for absolute certainty in an answer that leaves everything unexplained. No thanks.

But the scientist who first proposed the big bang, Georges Lemaître, was a Christian, and he also had the stamina for theology and reflecting on what it means to be a good person. That hardly seems like intellectual laziness to me.

Interestingly, I too have a best friend who really did save my life and while I may or may not die for her I would most certainly expose myself to enormous risk to keep her safe. The main difference though is that she spends time with me on occasion and we have great times chatting about this and that (sometimes the other), going on shopping trips etc; basically returning my friendship. In short, she has the decency to actually exist.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Metaphorically, I suspect.

So if it *appeared* you had a vision of God, telling you to sacrafice yourself by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, would you do it?

How did God save my life?
I was involved in the occult and satanism and drugs and God got me out of it. I was doing heroin and xanax and all this bad stuff, as well as dabling in the occult. It was going to kill me. I was also suicidal.

God didn't save your life, you decided to believe in God and you found that, being religious, you had to get yourself out of that situation.

You saved yourself. Give yourself a little more credit.

Also, answer my question.
