Well, what do you believe God to be or are you content to leave it as an unresolvable mystery? If you're down with the mystery, would you be down with an entirely natural God rooted in your noggin - a god that knew the contents of your heart but far from omniscient, a God that creates the possibility of your existence as you find it but no, not the entire cosmos. See if you could scale back the extravagant claims I at least would have no beef with a natural god.

I'm pretty sure that is the job of the massive doses of margaritas he takes.
As Paul said: "You will know God by the things that He has made!"
Be not concerned!
Please consider the righteousness of God! If, if, if, God commanded all things to exist according to HIS standard of perfection, which is His own righteousness: then should we pursue(seek) HIS righteousness?
Lets get real stupid: did God invent the hamburger, in all of it's glory, to be enjoyed in all of it's glory? If you said yes then, you pursued that perfection--I hope--as I did, shoots--I ain't even done yet!! So, why don't I go to your house so that I can enjoy the most righteous burger that God invented for us all to enjoy--straight from your God given intellect and God given ideal, pursuing God's perfection--which is His standard of the "all things" including hamburgers?!
Pursuing that standard, in anything related to life, will make you the best as God will guarantee it! Regardless of my "massive doses"! Everything else truly sucks!
The above is true--is it not? The death that is "theology" could never tell you that! The life that is God's Word--SCREAMS IT! Science, except for cooking, is numb!
Nature is God's design! Use it to the fullest advantage and be glorious!
Stay shiny my friend and bling!
The world is yours and all it contains. SEIZE IT! NOTHING can stop you!
As John said, "What is that which concurs the world? Your faith(trustworthiness)! As a pursuer of the perfection of God in the all things of His making and design that is nature!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
