everyone has an opinion should i just disregard my own direct experiences and leech onto someone elses theory or disbelief about it ?

Ah, now THERE, great toaster guru, was a truly worthy question.   Although perhaps I should not reply, because you have not shared the secret of gaining an answer to prayer which most of the world lacks . . . I must be unworthy.   Your experience is personal and your own - - do you even have the POWER to disregard it?  If your experience can lead us to the same numinous light, find a way to teach.  

If you have no way, but want to be a beloved member of AF forums, then emulate the behavior of our favorite christian members: state your experience when asked about it, and if someone says they don't believe you, drop it and join in a game of mafia.

you are not unworthy beautiful one its just that to everything there is a season and its not yet the season for you  just keep an open mind Shy   anyways until the season comes where is this mafia game located exactly? (oh nevermind already found it)

You didn't escape slavery to God; you live by the blessings HE gave you. Above all; you're not a slave to something, as long as you're totally independent from it. From God, non of us is independent.

Again : being a slave to a filthy human, ordering you to clean the floor; or a granny mistress who practices BDSM on your ass, is something totally different from slavery to a God.

You think you're free; but actually you're not. You're living on the "illusion" of that..

Read my posts more than once; by far I'm not one of them religious fellas who "speak in monk-like words" shrouded in "mysteries"; I try to be as obvious as possible. I'm not "Morpheus the time streamer" after all. Sleepy

I don't know, will the universe be displeased if I trade in my old toaster for a super-duper model?  - A toaster that can serve as a speaker for your phone or mp3 player, that has a radio, AND makes toast?  Oh my.  Some toasters DO sing.  If you want to see the other models (no, surely it's not blasphemy!), check them out here:  Hometone

And being a slave to Allah will set you free, no? Slavery is freedom, black is white, truth is lies -- do you even listen to your nonsense?

So my relationship with God, of which I'm totally unaware of, is nothing like a normal relationship, but is instead a form of slavery that is nothing like other forms of slavery.

As Kryten said in gunmen of the apocalypse, "If that has to make sense, I don't want to be sober".

God told me the number you're thinking of is 8675309.  He told me that you may not have noticed that number in your mind if you were not open to the possibility of His existence... then He said He will remind you and others of that number all throughout the day...and perhaps even in the days to come to verify that He indeed is God, and He is in control.
