Due to the fact that you cannot properly quote is no concern of mine.

What does concern me is that you have not yet realized your potential.

Stuff learned the hard way:

* you can be in love with someone and not be aware of it

* you can fall in love with someone long after they have gone

* you can be around someone who's in love with you and neither of you are aware of it

* realizing someone is in love with you can be a powerful inducement towards falling in love with them


or not

If anything, isn't that something you should be experiencing?

Depends on the situation.

Realistically, how do you maintain such a positive belief in a being that only causes harm and never ever intervenes to save anyone?

Certainly, there are stories of people being saved, but that was not the work of any divine being.

It is always quite telling how the theistic mind works.

Thank god for that which your limited mind accepts as truth, yet not blame god when he does not come through for you.

It is easy enough to blame.

It is harder to accept the reality.

If god can save one person yet ignore the lives of others, is it really god?

Or is it that we have this preconceived notion guiding us?

If god was real, he would save everyone, and he doesn't save everyone.
