It makes sense to me why you believe in this invisible God.
Quote:You sound like you've had some experience with sin, fear of death, you were cast into hell believe it or not. Not, but I see where your coming from.I'm sure if you wanted to see Hell for yourself God would be happy to oblige you. just ask or if you are so bold as I was dare Him to show you. tell Him you will spit in his eye at your judgement and would be ruling hell inside a week.. then repeat this till he complys with your wish. lest you fear death... lest you fear your trip would be one way... That is what I did before I got to know God.
Quote:God can help focus you away from your own fears and problems, but what your not realizing is you are still afraid and lying to yourself for comfort.

God is not a source of comfort.. maybe at first but once you move past the milk of the word God=Hard work, trials, testing what you think you know and what you think you are. almost non-stop.
Granted the rewards are great when you follow through, but little comfort is money in the bank when you feel like you always in a free fall that you have to will or reason your way out of.
Quote:I did that for years. Sometimes I still do that. Different coping mechanisms work, but God is a distraction from reality.That is what I mean by trials.. dealing with real world problems in real time.
Good luck with that sport
You have made a lot of accusation about fear and death. I'd like a citation or reference to something I said that shows I have a fear of death, or are you simply sterotyping/name calling?
