Hi all,

When I went to high school I had buck teeth, and every one called me rabbit. Fortunately I had dental work done that fixed my teeth. But it was rather hurtful to have people pick out our faults. 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 believe that God wants to heal lives, to bring rest peace and joy to people. 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.

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.

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.

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. 

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

UGGGGGGGG...........

Finding comfort in fiction does not make the claim true, it merely means you like the idea of a hero protecting you.

"Allah wants to heal  you"...... Still make sense?
"Yahweh wants heal you".......Still make sense?
"Buddha wants you to reach Nirvana"...... Still make sense?
"Vishnu wants to  heal you" Still make sense?

The Ancient Egyptians were successful for 3,000 years believing in their gods, they believed in Ra and Isis and Horus and Osiris, and even the healing god Thot, as fervently as you do now with what you believe. 

How about YOU consider that this is just you falling for your own emotions and desires. How about you consider someone introduced you to the god you now believe in before you had any shot of critically thinking about the credibility of what they sold you?

Humans were around long before your religion existed. Humans were around even long before any nations or even written religion. Our species in it's current form has only been writing for 10,000 years and we started to emerge with no writing 150,000 years ago. 

Our planet is 4 billion years old, and in it's history of evolution has had 5 mass extinctions, and again, in that 4 billion year history humans have only been around a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that time. 

Our sun is one of hundreds of billions of suns, just in our Milky Way galaxy. Our universe has an estimated 200 billion galaxies in our observable universe. Our universe is 13.8 billion years old. 

How about considering it is your want, and not a real thing. A mere desire based upon your mental projection of human qualities in fictional form.

I cannot bring myself to believe the fantasy of a fictional hero knowing how old our planet, solar system, galaxy and universe are. No, I don't believe all this was put here for humans. I believe humans project their own qualities and desires into claims of the super natural.

You'd have me believe an all powerful being would wait most of 13.8 billion years to make us and put us in a mostly hostile universe and put us on a violent planet full of volcanos, earthquakes, natural disaster, disease, and have most of that 150,000 year history of or species in scientific ignorance, and wait only until 10,000 years ago to allow us to write and form cities, only to fight over which god is real even today? 

Sounds like tons of waste of energy and time to me. It makes much more sense to me that humans merely make them up, sell them to their kids, and simply like it and or don't want to consider nobody is helping us.

FYI, if your argument that a God exists is because you got picked or bullied as a kid, so what. I was bullied and picked on as a kid too. That is a horrible thing to go through as a kid, but that is not evidence of any type of god by any name. I also survived my childhood. 

Good and bad happen to everyone all 7 billion humans, some to greater or lesser degrees depending on individual and or geography. There is no magic to good or bad happening. If we want to, as humans reduce suffering, we should be helping each other, not depending on utopias that do not exist.
