I offer a test to show the true nature of most folks. Let's see how Godhead does.

Godhead, your god has spoken to you, and it's just as you said. Absolutely no doubt that this is god.

This god asks you to sacrifice your entire family to him.

Do you?

Well I believe that everything that exists, including me, is god. I can't imagine god asking me to do that. So, in my belief, it's a nonquestion. If I were to give an answer however, it would have to be this :

If god asked me to sacrifice my entire family to him, god would not be asking me to sacrifice my entire family to him, because it would never ask that.

You are officially a bottle of crazy sauce. And you're the kind of crazy sauce that doesn't taste very good.

How very lucky you are to have a god like that. Oh wait...it's a designer god. He's whatever you want him to be!

That's exactly right. I base my faith on what I personally believe and feel, rather than on what others tell me.

That's not correct, as there's a huge difference between nothing and a person's personal take on life.
