Hi all,

Hi, hopey. I haven't seen you since page 1. I 'hopey' you're okay.

To me the devil is out to destroy lives, to constantly cause harm, whether it be through trying to pick our faults, and press them. Or to just ravage lives.

I don't believe the devil is real. If the devil IS real, he's clearly a slave to God and not doing anything God doesn't allow. You'd think we can be sufficiently evil on our own that we wouldn't need a divinely-appointed cheerleader encouraging us to be worse. It's really absurd when you think about it, if you take it literally.  

I believe that God wants to heal lives, to bring rest peace and joy to people.

If God is real, and omnipotent, there's literally not only nothing stopping him, nothing could stop him.

I am also a person who believes that God will reach into any situation, to find the good in us. As a human I often look at the negatives, but God at the positives. The reason why each of us has breath is due to the fact that God still sees some good in us all.

If you're consistent enough to not believe a God like that would create a place of eternal torment for dead humans, that would be refreshing.

So why the soppy story? Well I want to offer some thing. I believe God wants to be involved in each of your lives, no matter how strongly you feel he is not there, wrong, ignorant of you etc.

If God is real he is welcome to involve himself in my life and I invite him to compel my belief. My free will isn't worth eternal excruciating torment. If it's good enough for Paul, it's good enough for me.

I have made some claims in some other posts that God has answered prayers that have been prayed. I want to reach out to you in some form of blessing. To pray that God would show his great love for you.

Thanks, maybe he'll listen to you. I'll let you know if he contacts me. In the meantime, I have to note that praying to God seems to have the same success rate as praying to anyone/anything else.

If you have any need in your life I ask you would you be willing to lift it up to God, to just see what he is willing to do for you. 

I was a Pentecostal for years before I noticed that my answered prayers seemed to be a matter of remembering the hits and forgetting the misses. Since it's a very important question, I suppose the need in my life is for any version of God that actually exists and cares whether I believe in it or not, to contact me without me having to believe first. Because I can experience making telepathic contact with any entity I want or can imagine if I believe I can first and put in some effort. But that seems to be a recipe for self-delusion, doesn't it?

So just to get the discussion going is there anything that you think God would be please of in your life?

I would hope that if there is a God, he would be pleased that I am kind and generous to children and animals and most people; and that I'd rather believe an uncomfortable truth than a comfortable lie.
