What if I told you god had nothing to do with anything.

I already assume no literal god is the basis of any religion.  Finding out what god is not does not make what god is much clearer.  I also assume god is not the stuff of conspiracy theorists as you seem to think either.  

So I would do nothing different, duh.

Get it right and world fame is yours.

Good luck

Lucky, lucky me then.  

My definition is that God is like the one who has been described in the thousand of NDEs.

1) He-she (God doesn't have sex nor a physical body although he can incarnate) doesn't judge.
You rather judge yourself as you will be able to see your past mistakes.
2) God is supreme spiritual love.
3) Hate is out.
4) There is only one God.
5) God is everywhere and everything is made out of God.

You know there's a physiological explanation for NDEs, right? And I could replicate a NDE experience with a DMT trip?

I guess you do. So I don't know why I'm bothering.

😂

Can I put this in the hall of fame?!

It would be 100% indistinguishable from one that doesn't exist and would not affect anyone's day-to-day lives because it apparently has declared radio silence and doesn't communicate in any way, shape or form with us nor intervene in any way so as to indicate some possible supernatural presence or intelligence.

This divine silence is all the proof we need that no GOOD god exists, and if no good god exists, fuck the motherfucking fucker in his fucking outie navel piercing hole.

Personally I don't see anything spectacular about nearly dying. It's also known as barely surviving

It is natural that not all NDEs experience God and that for a very good reason.
Why God would show up to someone who is not prepared to take advantage of such an experience?
Free will is there to allow people to do what they like with their lives.

yours is easy to answer. Nothing, as nothing changes.

You have to be very very careful to understand anything written in the Bible.

Actually you wouldn't.. Because the same grace that forgives us when we willfully sin, also forgives us when we do our best and simply fall short.

Quote:I am not saying that the Bible is all BS.

mighty white of you to pardon the bible with your great civil authority.

Quote:There may well be a lot of truth in it but the interpretation given by the various churches in most cases is wrong.

If this were true.. so what? Again God forgives those who are in religious error, when they simply do not know any better. See the story about Nicodeamus and Jesus.

Quote:Different churches give the interpretation that suit their agenda.

you are right, they do. why? because all of the bible has been boiled down to two commands. Love God with all of your being. Love your neighbor as yourself. ALL of the law get consumed by these two commands.

So because we are all a little bit different our "worhip God with all of our being command" will look a little different in each of our churches should it not??? Say you play an instrument and sing well, your worship should include that. say I can't. but I pray well. Would it not then suit us both to have churches that focus on your singing and my praying? Can't share a building and have both going on at the same time. That is what you will find in denominations. people trying to worship God with the best understand they can bring to the table.

Quote:Hell is out the question.

actually it is not. I've been through or at least to the gates. it is very real.

Quote:If hell would exist then God wouldn't exist.

Hell is the darkness or absence of God.

Quote:A perfect entity like God can not possibly do mistakes and hell is there for those who do mistakes

Well then there you go. Hell is not about mistakes. Hell is for those who willfully and want sin over the two commands God asks of us. Hell is for those like members of ISIS who want to see you decapitated rather than allow you to worship God. taking someone's head for not believing is not a mistake. it is willful hate of God. All unrepentant sins is a variation of that same willful hate.

Quote:so hell would be to sort out God mistakes but because God can not do mistakes then hell can not exist and therefore the interpretation of the Bible given by religions is 100% wrong.

Again what makes you think any thing is a mistake? opposition to God wasalways apart of the plan. God wanted evil, because without it there is no contrast or choice to God's own will. There if there is choice there is evil as it is the oppsite of the God found in God's will. without this choice there would only be God's will.

Quote:You also have to take into account that in those times those mystics that wrote the Bible lived in the desert so the strong sun may well have cooked their brains therefore their interpretation of the nature of God was defective.  

wow I guess racial stereotyping is ok so long as a Christian's values can be questioned.

Já, and I've been Tested by the Conclave and am a Red-Robed Krynnish archmage.   *heavy sigh* One or both of us has a vivid imagination  -- but at least I have actual robes and can have a jolly good time doing cosplay at a SF/F convention.

I can easily accept that you're doing your own version of role-playing with your religion, but at this point your use of the word "real" does not appear to line up with the standard definition.

LR, I'm starting to think that your belief in God is just a small byproduct of other more serious issues...
What have all the specialists concluded?

Is little rik a poe?
