You may not understand certain things, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fact. The idea that a truth can only be revealed to you because you actively want to have an imaginary friend is insane.
The truth that I speak of, is the fact that God wants to move in your life, to change you and help you flourish. The proof is that he's already done it for millions of people, including myself, but the stipulation to meeting God, is that you need to believe in him first.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6 NIV
If you seek him, he will reward you by making himself apparent and he will change you. Fact.

How exactly has that been going for you btw? Last I recall there was the sound of trumpets as reality faded into the background under the crushing weight of a myth you chose to believe in regardless.
Not too well...I have too many things going on at one time to really get it moving. My dad and I are talking about the doctrines that establish the 7th-Day Adventist Church, I'm reading some books on creative writing, I'm pregnant, so I'm feeling sick all the time and I can't get online too often. But I still have those books on evolution I bought written by people who believe it is true and it's false. I hope I'll get around to them someday...sigh..in the meantime, I read the Bible.

I have never believed in anything supernatural... So, nothing happened between God and I.
Are you aware of all the bad shit God does in the bible? Not stuff carried out in his name, but things he actually does? If you were aware, then you would realise the guy is a cunthole
And yeah, what eddy boy said
Give me a specific example, quote a verse.

Clear this up for me please Aleialoura. African apes have done things in the name of their imaginary friend? Are you relating evolution to Christians? This reminds me of a racial slur, so I need some clarification, please help me. thanks.
