No thank you. I have had enough of that bullshit to last 300 lifetimes.
I have had many experiences with God, but one thing that motivated me this week was: I attempted to lead people to Jesus, I tried to do a thing called prophecy, which (some people can do) seemed to go haywire, I attempted it on some poor atheist, and no matter what I tried nothing seemed to work. However after that God started to drop things in my mind which were true.
A man approached me coming down the path, a voice told me he was a Muslim, and a Sunni Muslim. He began to walk past me and me not sure whether what I heard was true, asked him are you a Muslim, he said "yes", I said a "Sunni", he said yes. So I spoke to him about the errors in the Quran, and how it is deplorable that anyone would preach wife beating, and terror in the name of the living one. And no the guy did not have a beard, and wear a dress, he was just a normal man.
One thing I have noticed is that God does not work by my will but his. He some times gives me this insight other times, he hides from me what is going on in a persons life.
My name is hope-y because I hope in God, and want to bring you that hope, and hope that God shows up.
So greetings all.
Faith in what? Faith= Claiming to know something that you don't know. And what's a god? And which one of the thousands of human gods are we talking about? Odin? Ahura Mazda? Rama? I hope that Ahura Mazda shows up too. We would finally have some real proof of its existence. But it's going to have to be something a LOT more than stories and voices in your head. Something scientifically provable.
